HIGH COST OF PAPER

The price of paper, which has advanced from 100 to POO per cent or more, oyerprices prevailing year ago, seriously threatens the life of large number of publications throughout the country and greatly lessens the profits of others,
 It is doubtful is any other large industry in the United States has had to face so seri- ous situation, because when prices of raw materials have advanced the manufacturers of the finished products have advanced their prices and thus thrown the burden on the ultimate consumer In the newspaper busi- ness this has not been done. The newspa- pers, from the largest dailies to the smallest weolLlies, have been bearing the burden which to so many publications will mean destruction and to many others the wiping out of all profit.
 Had the newspapers of the country been as prompt to defend their own interests as they have the interests of others they, too would before this have undertaken to save themselves by an advance in subscription price and in advertising rates Under exist ing conditions they will be forced to do this sooner or later,

NELS ANDERSON

Nels Anderson of Douglas Island, one of the Democratic nominees for member of the lower house of the Territorial legislature, was born in Sweden forty eight years ago. At the age of sixteen, thirty two years ago, he landed in America and located in Michi- gan where he grew to manhood. He came to Juneau in May of 1897 and a short time later started for the interior going as far as Whitehorse He returned to Juneau that fall and remained there where he was em- ploved until 1900 when he went to work for the Alaska TrcadweI Gold Mining Company bv which concern he has since been em- ploved. Two years later he moved his family consisting of his wife and six months-old son. to the Island where they have since made their home. their three younger child Ten having been born here
 Mir Anderson, while modest and usos- suming man, is possessed of more than an ordinary education and is remarkably well posted on current affairs. He is an ardent American and representative Alaskan. A close observer of men and affairs, he will make an ideal representative in the Alaska legislature. He has long been a pillar in the Odd Fellows, being member of Alaska Lodge. No l. Aurora Encampment, No 1, and Northern Light Rcbecca Lodge, No 1, all of Douglas. in the former two of which he has passed through all the chairs.
 For several wears Mr. Anderson has been foreman of the Ready Bullion mine, in which capacity he has come in contact with and been in charge of thousands of men and the fact that he has made friends with all of them and commands their fullest confidence and utmost respect is one of the most noble tributes that can be paid to him.
 Himself working man, Mr. Anderson may be depended upon to advocate such leg isation as is to the interest of the working man and, at the same time his sense of fair ness is such that the interests of the employ CT will not suffer at his hands. He is close student of economic conditions and inherent honesty is his most marked characteristic, especially fitting him for the position which, i'm this case is seeking the man.
 Nels Anderson is not in any sense a pol iticiau. He was not even present at the con veution which nominated hin, being at that time on a brief visit to tine State of Washing ton. The nomination was wholly unsought by him but was given on account of his worth as a man and on account of his pop ularity among those who have known him for many years and who recognize his merit and stability of character He will poll a strong vote and where he is best known his vote will be strongest No mistake will be made in sending Nels Anderson to the next Territorial legislature
