U. 5. uUgo,mnent
 Is Short On Paper

WASHINGTON. Oct. 3.-The high price of paper situation which has al ready forced many newspapers and periodicals to raise their subscription rates and to reduce the number of pages printed, has also hit the United States Government. One of the last acts of the Senate before adjourning was the adoption of a resolution dir ecting the Federal Trade Commission to investigate the soaring increase in the price Of print paper. It was found that the supply of paper for the Gov ernment printing office was only suffi- cient to last sixty days instead of six months, as is usually the case. The Federal Trade Commission started an investigation some time ago but noth- ing had come of it other than a state ment issued early last week in which it was urged that steps be taken to lrevent publishers from being charg
 1 unreasonable prices for their pa Jer.

TIN MINING IN NORTH
 NEAR POSSIBILITY
MINES IN NOME REGION LOOK PROMISING SAYS ENGINEER
 JUST RETURNED.

SEATTLE, Oct. 3.-Frank Short, a mining engineer, who has just return ed from the north after having spent the summer on Lost River, says that there is a possibility that tin quartz mines will be developed in northwest ern Alaska in the near future
 Short has done engineering work in nearly every country in the world. He exported the Coolgardie goldfelds in Western Australia, the fields of Bo- liyia and other South American coun- tries, and was in South Africa at the time war was declared between the British and Boers. He became cap tain in the English army, but returned to engineering when the war was oyer.
 We did considerable development work on the tin veins this summer, 2 he said, "and expect to continue the work this winter. It looks fairly prom ising"
 Short said the North is having a successful year from all standpoints, and expressed the opinion that dred- ges digging for tin in the Cape Prince of Wales region will make a good cleanup this fall.

CRUSADE ON VICE
 TRAFFIC ORDERED
FEDERAL BUREAUS JOIN FORCES IN AN ATTEMPT TO STAMP
 OUT EVIL.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-A nation wide crusade against the white slave traffic and other forms of commercial ized vice has been launched by the United States government. The fed eral bureau of investigation and the bureau finternal revenue have join ed forces in this effort.
 Contrary to popular belief, the white slave traffic turnout the country has not fallen off but, if anything, has in creased, during recent years, accord ing to the Bureau of Investigation, An average of one new case a day is re- ported.
 The campaign against white slavers in New York City was largely respon- sible for bringing about the new con certed action of the Federal bureaus. Taking valuable clews from Prosecut- or Swann's investigation in New York, the Federal agents plan to SCOUT the country in an effort to re- duce the vicious traffic.
 Experience of both bureaus, work ing independently, has shown that the white slave traffic and dealing in for bidden habit-forming drugs are busi- nesses almost invariably carried on by the same coteries of criminals. White slavers are drug addits to a large ex- tent and, furthermore, they use hab- Informing drugs in obtaining victims for their traffic, the independent in- vestigations of the two bureaus have conclusively shown.
 Evidence gathered by the two bur eaus will be compared and if the facts procured on one charge are insuffi- cient to bring about conviction, the other set of facts will be used. By joining forces in this manner, it is believed long step will be taken in suppressing vice.

 A vote for J. R. Heckman is a vote in the interest of every industry in Southeastern Alaska.
 First, because he can always be approached upon any subject and will listen to any argument and champion any measure calculated to benefit this division.
 Second, his personal interests are inimical to and interwo,ven with, ev- cry line of business to such an extent that the public's business is, auto matically, his business, and there fore in protecting the public he is pro tecting himself, and vica versa. Who, then is better qualified to present our cause in the higher branch of the ter ritorial legislature than Ketchikan's candidate for Senator? The vote ought to be unanimous particularly in his part of the division.
