GIVEN
 OPPORTUNITY! TO
 PRESENT CLAIMS

c. B. Kent, attorney-examiner of the United States Shipping Board writes Delegate Sulzer as follows :n reference to Alaska rates, matter of vital importance to the residents of this territory:
 ''The Board has directed that full hearings be held at Seattle, Juneau Seward, and Anchorage, between May 10th and May 3Oth, 1918. Special hearings, in addition to the foregoing will be held, if desired, at other ports enroute to or from Anchorage, pro vided such hearings may not involve detention at any port beyond the time required for loading and dis charging cargo.
 "The exact dates of hearings can. not be determined at this time, but seasonable notice thereof will be pub. lished from Seattle.
 ''If, after hearing, it shall be found that any of the rates approved by the Board and made effective on the 18th ultimO are unjust or unreaGon. able, reductions accordingly will be made, and reparatiOn in proper cases will be awarded upon the basis of the just and reasonable rates thereafter to be established. As a result of this arrangement, the interests of shippers will be conserved exactly as if the advances in question had been sus. , pended until after hearing.
 "In view of the public importance of these hearings, it is desired that all interests shall be represented, and your cooperation to that end will be appreciated"
 In sending the above letter to the Daily Times, Delegate Sulzer writes: T hope you will be good enough to give as much publicity as possible to this matter in order that all Alaska shippers may have an opportunity to be heard and be enabled to present all the facts in regard to excessive transportation rates. Also I trust our people will present their views freely upon the question of fresh fish shipments and granting foreign yes sels the privilege of engaging in our Coastwise trade"

cern to the reading public, and they should understand it's full meaning that they may make a protest against it.
 On account of dividing the country into zones and imposing an extra charge for distance from the place of publication, the postage expense to the publisher has been increased in some places to five times the former rate.
 As an illustration: A man at Cam bridge, Mass, will pay one and one half cents postage on his magazine published in Boston; a man in North Carolina 3 cents; Texas 5 cents: and a man in Portland, Oregon. five and one-half cents. It is therefore evident that readers of magazines and other publications will have to pay from 50 to 100 per cent more as subscribers.
 To enter protest against the un- fairness Of the proposition to the in habitants of Alaska, the Commercial club authorized the drawing up of the following resolution, which will be sent on to Washington:
 Whereas Congress has recently en- acted an amendment to the postal laws by increasing postal rates on periodicals from 50 to 900 per cent by a 'zoning" system;
 And Whereas if such law is enforc. ed it will mean ruin for many periodi- calls of wide circulation and seriously restrict the circulation of all other helpful current literature and thus re- tard the culture and economic devel- opment of the Nation:
 And Whereas said law, if enforced. will be especially injurious to the peo- pie of Alaska and will penalize our readers to the maximum of the in creased rates for the reason that Alaska is remote from the great pub fishing centers, and that such enact ment will be pernicious in it's effect upon our men and women and boys and girls by depriving them of their sources of education, information and recreation by enormously restricting their reading matter;
 Wherefore, Be It Resolved, that Fairbanks Commercial Club, of Fair banks, Alaska, most emphatically op- poses and denounces said amendment to the postal laws as a harmful, un-

 cident in which she was frightfully burned. The afflicted woman died late Saturday night after two days of torture from the burns inflicted from the flaming up of gasoline stove.

The blaze was eXtinguished, but in the meantime, every portion of her body had been frightfully burned, her face, head and hands presenting a ghastly sight. Suffering the most excruciating agonies, death came as a relief two days later, af- ter everything possible had been done To save her life.
 Mrs. Oberg made Prescott her home for some years, where she en- ioyed many friends. Her daughter, Mrs. Estella Hall, resides here, as well as other relativecs. She will be buried at Jerome The deceased left here only a short time ago to join ler husband. a miner, who had secur- d employment at Jerome.

By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Thc necessity of arousing state and coun- ty officials to their responsibilities in assisting the government to break up the manufacture of moonshine whisky IS urged upon the governors of pro- hibition States today in letter from Internal Revenue Commissioner Rop- CT.
 The letter was made public as part of a nationwide campaign against distilling recently announced by Com missioner Roper when it was discov- cred that the manufacture of moon shine was rapidly increasing in bone dry states and whisky was being sold illegally to soldiers in southern train ing camps.
 Constantly increasing violation of prohibition laws in several localities '' said the commissioner appeal to the governors, "open defiance of Federal authority and the apparent inability of the local police to cope with con ditions are astounding and distress irg. The morale of every army camp 1T. the prohibition States is in jco- pardy through the illict distilling and sale of whisky. You will, 1 am sure, determine upon .the most practical method of arousing your county of ficials to their responsibilities and duties in cooperation with Federal agents"
 The commissioner also wrote con grcssmcn from prohibition States, as ing their cooperation and letters of instruction went forward to inter ral revenue collectors. The campaign already has resulted in arrests In many States. Evidence gathered by federal agents shows that raw corn liquor had been sold about army camps at SS to SIP quart.
