THE HOME PAPER

There is one stronghold in every community that the mail order house has not been able to reach. This is the home town newspaper. In the face of all kinds of bribery the home newspaper has always stood it's own ground and steadily refused the ad- vertising of mail order houses. Right now millions are being spent by the "catalog kings" in a continuous at tempt to secure the cooperation of the home newspaper. But the country editor is standing solidly by his home community. He turns down all kinds of inducements.
 Mir. Business Man, do you follow this plan? When a nice circular or slick salesman appears from some outside house singing the praises of embossed stationery or patent sales system that require constant orders for printing, do you fall for it? How many of you who "hollers" the loud est about patronizing home indust- rfes practice what you preach when it comes to printing?

Good business requires that ono make plans in advance One must De able to look ahead and know what is coming, az nearly az that is pos sible, to get the best results. Big producers miners, manufacturers, and others usually sell in advance of production that their managers might have definite figures by which to work and that their stockholders might know in advance what their dividends are to be. The clearer that coming events are forshadowed the greater the stability of business.
 This is a phase of business that concerns those of all classes-the little business man as we'll as the big, the laboring man who depends upon the conditions of business for his daily wage and the farmer as well as the capitalist in trade or indus try.
 It is because of this. among other things, that independent people of the country have concluded that Will

WICKERsHAM'S PARTY IN 1916.

It will soon be time for Hon. James Wickersham, delegate to Con- gress, to declare himself as to po- Iitical utilization in 1916. Some folks say he will be Progressive Demo- crat. His Republican followers all over Alaska are trying to nominate him on the Republican ticket. He told various persons ill Alaska last fall that he would live to have the Republican nomination; that it was tough going in Washington as po- litical maverick and he yearned to get back into the G. o.

His only official, public declration recently is embodied in the biography of him. self which he carries in the Congress- ional Directory of the 9th Congress, in words and figures as follows. to- wit: <

He stands for a definite program-for principles that have stood the test of time. On the other hand, no one knows. where the opposition stands. It is known only that 1t is at sizes and sevens, with dozens of putative leaders pointing in as many direc- tions. With the unorganized, chaotic opposition in power there would be but certainty, the complete lack of a guaranty of efficiency any where

PETTY GRAFT.

The Miner has a contract with the City, which has not yet expired, to do all city advertising at One Cent per xAe. Every little while the Council slips a bit of this advertising to our competitor. who has no legal right to draw a dollars worth of advertis- ing from the city.
 We are not kicking about the loss of the thirty cents involved. but it is the principle of petty graft; the fact that the gentlemen on the council cannot even fulfill 8 thirty cent con- tract honestly and conscientiously.
 If man will graft for thirty cents the inference is that he would be even less honest and less scrupulous where dollars are concerned.
 If councils word is no good and their written bond is no good, what chance have the citizens to know that any of their actions are square?
 Stealing is taking that which be- longs to another The city printing belongs to the Miner until the con tract expires. Those gentlemen of the city council who made the contract with the Miner would probably shrink from stealing thirty cents in cash from us but do not hestitate to steal thirty cents worth of our advertising.
 If it was thirty dollars it might be worth the effort, but thirty cent graft iug-faugh!

WHEN ! GO HOME

 That thrills each pulsive vein.

LARGE COPPER
 SALE CONFIRMED
CONSIDERATION WAS $75. 100000
E. D. Reiter Takes Over Copper Coin Group at Knight Island and Will Immediately Start on Work of Put ting Mine on Shipping Basis.

With the arrival last evening on
 the Admiral Evans of E. D. Reiter, of
 the Alaska Mines Corporation, and George White and Ben Silver.uan, there is confirmed the sale of the Cop per Coin group of claims at Knights Island, teIegraphic report of which was received here several days ago. MT Reiter, who purchased the property, said to ProspectOr repor- ter, that he considered the property one of the best prospects he had seen in Alaska. and that it was his inten- tion to demonstrate at the earliest moment that the claims will make a mine or that there is nothing there. TO this end he will begin active de- velopment work on the claims within a week or ten days, as soon as he re- turns from trip to Fidalgo bay, and will employ as many men az can be worked profitably. Should the prop erty turn out as present showings on the claims would indicate, he will in stall a tram, ore bunkers and wharf, and will put the property on ship ping basis this summer.
 The property in question consists of five claims, known as Copper Coin Nos l, 2, 3, 4, and 5, and is situated on the south side Of Dryer Bay. on Knights Island. There has already heen expended on the property not less than S10.000 in actual develop ment. and there is blocked out d con- siderable quantity of ore. with indi- cations of a practically inexhaustible supply. A shipment of the ore sent to the Tacoma shelter net returns of 10 per cent copper, and of this basis the property can be worked with con- siderable profit
 The consideration for the transfer of the property was $75,O0O and MT. Reiter expresses the opinion that he has not made bad bargain. In fact he is extremely we'll pleased with his purchase, and predicts that it will prove a good dividend payer. Mir. Reiter states that in boosting the property he is actuated solely by his belief in it's rich possibilities as his company has no stock for sale. and has plenty of money to go ahead with the work planned.
 That this section of Alaska will forge rapidly to the front, is the be- lief expressed by MT. Reiter, who says that he has no monopoly on the good prospects in the Sound country. and that capital will be seeking invest ment here just as soon as it is dem- onstrated that mining can be carried on here at profit, and it is planned to make such a demonstration with the properties he now controls.
 MT. Reiter says he has had good reports from the Fidalgo bay prop erty during his absence in the states, and is we'll pleased with the prospects there.

COST TOO MUCH,
 NEWT0WN DROPS ALL EXTRA COPS.
Quarantine Restrictions Against Polio Carriers Are
 Modified.
Especial to The Farmer.)

Newtown, Aug. 1-Beginning today the board of health has ordered with drawal of the officers and inspectors patrolling the railroad stations and principal roadways leading to New town with the object to prevent in- gress of children here from the cen- ters where infantile paralysis prevails. This modification in the mode of car- rying out the quarantine was adopted after a conference between the select men, Health Officer w. H. Kiernan and County Health Officer Hill and is the result of the representations of the selectmen, that the town treasury had no money to pcy for these extraordin- ary expenses going on for the past weeks .and that the other provisions of the law looking to efficient quaran- tine should be invoked.
 Hence it was decided to give up pa- trolling roads and try posting the town with quarantine notices warning all persons not to bring in or locate chill dren under Is years in any domicile or habitation in Newtown under a penalty of $500 for infraction of the rule. This will apply to all children of the prohibited ages from any local ity whatsoever.
 This method of enforcing quaran- tine goes into effect today. That the patrol scheme did not work satisfac- torily is admitted by all, as many au- tomobilists sneaked in under pretense that they were enroute to other, points and it is believed left their children here.
 The physicians are as alert as ever in watching the condition of the hum dreds of New York children listed as coming to Newtown in July So far no other case of the disease has been found The condition of the Fair child girl quarantined at J. H. Sum- ner's home in Hattertown is said to be excellent for recovery without any after-effects.

 The first method of treatment was suggested by Dr. Abraham Sophian of Kansas City, who is the Flexner of the West. pr. Sophian is man of wide experience in laboratory work and has accomplished many things in the past, notably during an epidemic of recent years in Texas. He was formerly a member of the board of health in this city. At present. he is in Bridgeport, Conn.,, whither he went when it became panic-stricken over the prevalence of poliomyeltiis in this city, and asked Health Commissioner Emerson to send it an able man. Dr. Emerson suggested Dr. Sophian and lost no time in calling him.
 The Western expert happened to be in this city while the epidemic was at it's height, and at once offered his services to the local authorities. The city was eager to get his assistance. Three weeks ago he suggested the serum treatment while on a visit to the Kingston Avenue hos pital.

Asks Bacteriologist to Study Paralysis
 Cases of This State

Hartford, Conn.,, Aug. 1.-Dr. J. T. Black, secretary of the board of health, wrote to the federal authori- ties at Washington today, requesting that the government send to Connect icut an expert bacteriologist, to go over the whole Connecticut territory with a view to studying the history of all the cases of infantile paralysis in the state. Dr. Black, should his re- quest be granted, which seems prob- able. will work with the federal in- spector in fighting the disease.
 pr. Black takes an encouraging view of the situation in Connecticut, but he says there is an opportunity for study of the malady which would be of great value in future fights against it. There are about 130 cases of the disease in the state, he said, two new cases, one at Lebanon and one in Litchfield, hav- ing been reported.

Origin of the MastiiF.

Maetih is a term applied to . very large and powerful species of the ca nine family. and there is considerable conflict of ogirion regarding the origin of the word. Some claim that it is de- rived from the Italian mastino or the French mastin, both of which signify large hmbed. This word, they say, was gradually corrupted into nasty. Lincolnshire expression meaning very large, muscular or big, until it grad ual1y assumed its present form. Oth- CTS again say it's true origin is the old German masteu. to fatten, because the mastiff is large dog and so seems better fed than any other.-London Field.
