investigator asked Safety Com
missioner Weiss.
81 want full power to investi-
gate everything,' replied the
mayor.
Sputtering some commonplace
assurances that the mayors de-
mands would have attention,
Safety Commissioner Weiss went
to St. Paul and took the matter
up with his fellow autocrats.
When the formal authority for
L. U. Young to investigate
Michigan street "Food Hogs
was received from the safety
commission, it covered only the
one matter of burning food
stuffs.
Incineration of usable food
products already had. been we'll
investigated and proven. There
was nothing Left to be. done, un-
der the limited authority con-
| ferred by the autocratic safety
commission.
Both mayor Magney and in.
vestigator Young stopped right
where they were, seeing neither
pleasure nor profit in butting
their heads against a stone wall,
in a blind alley.
The foregoing explains why
Michigan street "Food Hogs
never were investigated fully and
properly by mayor Magney and
| why special investigator Young
never has presented report.
Col. A. G. Weiss in part and
the state board Of safety COM
missioners in whole, must be
credited with protecting the pro
duce pirates down on Michigan
street.
It has taken an entire year to
develop even this explanation
and the starting bit Of informa-
tion that it conveys.

There are tricks in all trades,
so it is said, but the "Food

and most effective assortments
of any trust or combination that
ever throttled retailer, consumer
or competitor.

"The chief did," was the re-
ply.
What really took place in the
silent watches Of the night only
the chief and this woman knew
and neither did any talking.
On another occasion, McKer-
cher professed desire to give
some order to a female member
Of the department. On hearing
his call, she went to the corri-
dor and there stood the moose
Of man, in the door Of his little
bed room, garbed in nothing but
his union suit. It gave the sur
prised woman a very good idea
Of his huge but ungainIy shape
when free of raiment.
Just 4 few months ago, Don
aid O'Hara, a Canadian soldier
only 19 years old, deserted the
Canadian army and came to Du-
luth with a Canadian girl only II
years Of age. Her real name need
not be mentioned but she was a
country girl, whom O'Hara Sc
duced by his Establishments. Her
father, an honest Scotch farmer
in the Rainy River valley, was
led to believe that the couple
were married.
The Winnipeg authorities wired
the local immigration authorities
to arrest the couple. The search
and arrest were turned over to
the local police and quickly ef-
fected. The night following the
arrest, the girl was lodged. in
the city Jail. The week after that,
while here, she was kept in the
municipal lodging house. She
was not wanton, hardened girl,
but an innocent country creature,
led astray by boy big enough
to know better. ,..-@ :
In the dark, still hours of the
night that Maggie Mcpherson
as she may be- called spent
in the city jail, she was near
ly frightened out of her wits
when a huge, massive man un-
locked the door of her narrow
cell and entered.
Natural sense of modesty
caused her to involuntarily pull
the bunk blanket up around her
neck.
The monstrous man sat down
on her bunk and then pulled
down the blankets from her neck
and breast.
"There's no need to keep COW
ecer up this way" he said. The
nights too warm for that -.
"Why don't you take off your
corsets'" he next inquired. "You
will sleep a whole lot better.'
The brutal degenerate then be.
gan to pinch and feel of the
frightened girls legs.
"You have a nice little leg on
you," he informed her.
Next, the lecherous old liber-
tine jammed his huge fist into the
poor creatures bosom and grab
bed her breasts.
Poor, helpless Maggie McPher-
son took courage enough to pro-
test against. the mans actions
and informed him that he was
going too far with her.
He next stalled around, inquir-
ing after the time and condition
of her sexual health and asking
a few idle questions before leav-
ing.

TIE OLD THREADBARE SUBJECT.

Speaking of the Morningside Asylum where Alaskans are taken after being adjudged men, tally deranged; one of the most prominent cf!ici- als of the First Division said the other day that he would prefer one of his family dead than in that institution He claims that the patients gre far from getting the care they should have. They are nearly all kept in the same room. Some are violently insane: screaming swearing and what not. Others are merely stupid, while others appear to be recovering, but in such com- pany, their chances are mighty slim. Not long ago this official had the occasion of visiting the institution, and found several men in new part of the establishment, without any heat. Tt nearly broke me all up'' he said, "to see them all shivering and begging me to take them away from there" and he added, Yet, the federal government pays liberally for the care of those unfortunates.
 Candidly those of us who are fortunate en- oueh to be still at arge-although some of us should be there aso--should be ashamed of the part we are taking in the care of our unfortun- ate We say "our part because we don't have to send them there. We can take care of them all Who wouldn't contribute say, dollar a year towards the support of an institution for the care of our sick? We can tax ourselves if popular subscriptions are insufficient; provided the federal government refuses a demand for help. Let the federal government give us the amount it pays to tn Oregon institution, plus the costs of transportation of the patients, guards and nurses, and the territory can guar antee proper care of those in need Failing in this why wouldn't the territorial legislature ap- Dropriate the necessary amount to construct and maintain such institution? We see no valid reason that could prevent it.
 The claim that CUT climatic condition in AL aska is too severe is all poppycock. country that grows strawberries, vegetables and grains of all kinds like they grow about Haines; or a country where at no time does it exceed an aver age of twenty above zero throughout the winters and where we grow cherries, apples and every thing else like do in the Banana Belt of AL aska, of which Ketchikan is the center; when we prove that such is the case, we put the kibosh on any claim of too severe climate for the purpose of taking care of our sick.
 When the legislature meets again, we pur- pose taking this matter up in earnest and with the aid of OUT friend-the official above referred

to, together with every real Alaskan, we hope to convince the legislature of the necessity for action.
WHO IS WHO IS THE QUESTION

Less than week to the election day and yet nobody knows who are candidates for any office. All those who were nominated at the caucus, may all want to be elected or not and there is no way of ascertaining either. All there is to do is to wait until the candidates ex- press their desire. When they do, the people have just two days to bring the candidates out and get from them their intention on some mat ter of importance to the community.
 Supposing the taxpayers of this town want to know what candidate thinks of granting a franchise to a corporation or something like that and on his answer would depend his election. How would they get him to dscuss intelligently the issue? How would the voters find out whether he was the proper person to elect or not To our mind this manner of electing our muni- cipal officers is farce Every candidate should give at least ten days notice of his intention and no name should be permitted to be put up on the ballot without that notice. The running in at the last moment the name of favorite should not be allowed.
