SOME SNOW IN '9S

Newcomers, and even those of long CT residence, are wont to grow sarcas- tic when the old-timers talk of the days of '9S. Among the old records of the town, which are still in existence. is a report of the doings of the first townsite committee. formed in the spring of 1898. This record shows that the first Monday in June was set apart by the committee as clean up day, and was intended to be ob- served by the citizens of the town as a sort of holiday, in which all would get together and clear away the ac- cumulated rubbish of the winter. This was the earliest that this clean ing up could be accomplished that year, because of the deep snow of the previous winter. which did not melt away until late, notwithstanding the spring weather was warm. That is the latest day in the history of the town or which cleanup day has been observed, thus, when the old-timer begins to tell of '9S he has some thing official to back his statements, or least those regarding the snow fall.

RUSSIANS DRAW
 VERDCN TROOPS.

PETROGRAD, May 2.--The fight ing north and south of Dvinsk is be- ing waged fercely but without decl- siye advantage to either side.
 The necessity of defending their Dvinsk positions is said to have up- set the calculations of the German general staff, who had counted on a period of quiet along the Russian front to enable them to transfer troops to engage in the campaign against the French.
 The unexpected pressure by the Russians caused the withdrawal of fresh troops from Verdun and has enabled the French to hold their po- sitions without serious break.

commercial stuff goes before press matter.
 Alaska has a total of twenty-eight printing plants, of which twelve issue both daily and weekly newspapers Nine issue weeklies exclusively, and the remaining seven plants issue monthly publications of which one is a magazine, one a religious paper and the other secular monthly newspa- pers. Excepting a Swedish monthly ali are printed in English. The towns of Anchorage, Cordova, ketchikan, Skagway and Valdez have one daily newspaper each, while two dailies are issued in Fairbanks, Juneau, Nome and Seward. These daily newspapers vary in size from four to eight pages of standard size and are uniformly retailed at 10 cents copy, Sl month, or $10 a year. The small weeklies published at Ruby and Idit- arod, interior towns, retail at 70 cents copy or SIP per year. A large part of the contents of Alaska inewsrape has to do with purely To- cal affairs, but American and foreign news is quite adequately covered. al- though it mostly appears from two to three weeks late.
 This delay is due to the high rate, Y cents word for transmission of news dispatches over the government cable, and also to the fact that the cable is broken or otherwise out of commission most of the time, and when in working order it is gener- ally swamped with commercial busi- mess at 2S cents word. which busi- ness takes precedence of news dis patches. All the dailies have special correspondents in American coast cities who send the bulk of their mat ter by mail"
 The statement about rates might be explained by the fact that many people write the figure one like seven. There was some cable trouble last winter, but as for delay in hand ling the news by cable, nothing to it. The signal corps operators are the most obliging set of men any news paper has ever had to deal with and they get the news through in jig time.-Seward Post.

We believe that the children would be more unhealthy by being forced to attend school in summer. and believe that it would inconvenience many parents who desire the vacation months for their own purposes. can truly say that I am against any change in school hours or in the va cation system. and trust that the school board will not act until the question has been thoroughly thrash ed out.

THE PASSING or BRYAN.

The Democrats Of Nebraska have decided by their vote that William Jennings Bryan shall not be dele gate to the national convention. The man who thrice has been the stan- dard bearer of his party, who for six teen years dominated it's councils, and who, in relinquishing his leader ship, was powerful enough to name his successor, this year will have no voice in the convention. A Demo- cratic convention without William Jennings Bryan will be something new to the present generation.
 MT. Bryan's fight at Baltimore for Woodrow Wilson, his dramatic de- nunciation of Morgan, Ryan and Bel mont, and his own valedictory when he declined the second place on the ticket stirred the public mind as deeply as did his famous 'cross of gold and crown of thorns' speech at Chicago twenty years ago. Not since that memorable convention in Chi cago, when he captivated great as semblage by the spell of his oratory, was his hold upon the party better demonstrated than when he chal- lenged the New York delegation at Baltimore, dictated the party plat form and forced the nomination of Woodrow Wilson. There are many who believe that the achievement at Baltomore was the greater.
 Undoubtedly MT. Bryan in his 20 years as national figure has made many enemies, even among the mem- bers of his own party, but he is the same Bryan with the same ideals of % years ago. He has not changed While the party has bolted the plat form ard turned squarely rightabout on the issues on which Wilson was elected. Bryan has kept the platform advocated at Baltimore intact, and when he saw the administration was determined to break away from it he resigned his high office, and stepped down and out. No, Bryan has not changed By reading the platform of the Baltimore convention, you will see that the change has come thru the administration. Bryan has been most consistently hated by the New York politicians. who have under mined his influence with the Presi- dent and brought about rupture be- tween these two great party leaders. and yet, Bryan in any other setting would not be the rare jewel that he is today.
 By declining to allow his principles 70 be changed by the issues of the day he has broken with the admins tration and his party, but he is still the ideal of the old-time Democrats, and his name will go down to pos terity as the greatest politician Of modern times.

The daily papers are remarking on the fact that Bavaria and SaXOny in Germany are placing their citizens on a diet of one-third of pound of meat per day per capita. Up here in Alaska a man that could eat whole third of a pound of meat day would be classed among the also-rich. What do those Germans want, anyway?

LIFT TARIFFS ON
STEEL TRAFFIC
Interstate Commission Makes
Ruling Affecting Shipments
to War Zone

Washington, Sept. 20. = Tariffs of
railroads in the Middle West and East
proposing increases of seven and eight
cents per hundred pounds on iron and
steel articles from Chicago, Pitts
burgh and other points to the Atlantic
seaboard and to gulf ports, for export,
were suspended to-day by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission until
January 29 pending investigation.
The suspended tariffs would affect
q large volume of the shipments to
European belligerents.
The proposed increases have been
vigorously fought by shippers, who
contended they were without justifica-
ton and an attempt by the carriers
to take some of the profits of the iron
and steel business.
Estimated Losses
One company estimated that its loss
under outstanding contracts if the ad-
Vances became effective would be
100000. The railroads claimed that
they had made one-third reduction
in iron and steel rates to enable manu-
facturers to reach out for foreign
business, and that the roads are now
proposing to restore rates to where
they stood when exceptional condi-
tions caused reductions.
The Pennsylvania Railroad claimed
as one of its reasons for the increase
that it has to enlarge it's terminal
facilities at New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore to handle export trade,
at an outlay of S25, 100000 and that
delivery to ship side is more expen-
sive than to domestic consignees.
