HIRAM JOHNSON.

The johnson boom for president

Newspapers everywhere are behind
the champion of free speech and
liberty of the press.
Mayor Rolph of San Francisco is
strong in his endorsement, pledging
united support. The mayor says p:
In order to accomplish a Republi-
can victory it is necessary to place
the leadership of the party in the
hands of the strongest and most for
ward looking man, one who has the
confidence of the great majority of
Americans of every class, and that
man is, in my opinion. Hiram W.
Johnson. He is qualified in every
respect for the exalted office"
The possibility, nay, the strong
proba bility of Californian for pres

spur every resident to the utmost
effort.

KETCH|KAN STARTS
AUTO STREET CAR

The new ketchikan "Auto-Street
car service started several weeks
ago when William Moves, proprietor
of the Moves garage, drove the first
jitney bus over the route from the
oil docks to Charcoal point This
was the beginning of a constant,
1O-minute service, which will be
maintained from 1880 a. m. until
1880 p. m. A 10-cent fare is
charged.
Two buses are on the run, in
order that a 10-minute service may
be maintained, and regular trips
are being made. The trip from
town to either end of the run is
10 cents, while 25 cents is the fee
for complete round trip.
"This is the first attempt at pub
lie service transportation ever tried
in ketchikan, and has arisen out of
the obvious need for a constant and
reliable means of rapidly getting
from one part of town to another
said Mr.. Noyes ''If the service is
appreciated, the line will be per-
manent"

THE SECRET is NO SECRET.

What is the secret Of the con-
tinued high cost of living? The
secret is no secret, declares the edi-
tor of Leslie's, and this is the way
the situation is explained:
Railroad wages are increased by
several millions, and up go passenger
and freight rates.
Wages of telephone companies
employees are increased, and straight
way tolls are advanced 20 per cent.
Wages of packing-house employees
go up, and the packers promptly an
nounce that no reduction in the
prices of meat products can be ex-
pected during the ensuing year.
The price of wheat is fixed at
S2.26 a bushel, as against the pre-
war price of 81, and the high cost
of bread has no prospects of de-
crease.
Employees of the wooden mills ask
for double wages, and the cost Of
clothing keeps moving forward.
Cotton mills grant higher wages,
and everything made of cotton, from
spool of thread to summer dress,
helps pay the increase
Wages in iron and steel mills are
increased by over 100 per cent, and
the prices of iron and steel prod
ucts. including hardware and struc-
tural steel that enters into the
building of homes, remain at figures
that double the cost of building and
add to rentals.
Wages of coal miners are ad-
vanced, and We are admonished that
we must expect to pay more for
fuel.
We have no objection to increases
of wages. but let wage-earners beal
in mind that as long as high wages
continue they must expect the high
cost Of living to continue. They
should sharply rebuke those who
denounce the manufacturers of anc
dealers in the necessities Of life a:
'"pirates" and ''profteers.
And here is the one big fact thu
trust-busters have discovered, at last
1t is in the report of the United
States Tariff Commission, which
says, Admitting individual excep
tons, the big concerns are the Low
cost concerns and the small concern
are the high cost concerns"
So Big Business after all lower
and does not raise the. cost of liv
ing. Truth is eternal. 1t still sur
wives.

AlASKANS MUST
TAKE STEPS TO
CONSERVE FISH

/ F. P. Kendall, general manager
of the American Can company, is
not optimistic regarding the future
outlook for the Alaskan fisheries un-
less a more satisfactory system of
fish propagation in the territorial
waters is adopted. Mr., Kendall de-
clares emphatically that the waters
of Alaska are being fished out. He
says this after an experience of 35
years in the fisheries from the Co.
! lumbia river to Alaska.
! For many years Mr.. Kendall was
superintendent of the Alaska Pack
1 ers' association cannery at Loring.
1 1t was during his administration
that the Loring hatchery was start
ed Leaving the Alaska Packers, Mr..
Kendall went with the American Can
company, which he has built up to
be an enormous institution.
During his visit to Juneau recent
lily, Mr.. Kendall visited the terri
torial hatchery, which place interest
ed him greatly He was accompa-
MES by Dr. Albery, chemist from
! the department of agriculture, and
Mr.. Will Gould.
Captain Kendall told of the early
experiences of the Gamers of the
Columbia river in solving the hatch
jery question. He said much money
and time was wasted before the
hatchery experts decided to put in
holding ponds to keep the fngerlings
until they were of sufficient size
and strength to battle with the trout
and other enemies. Once this was
done, said Captain Kendall, the fish
started to increase, until today the
Columbia river is putting up the
largest pack in history, with no
fear of the river being fshed out.
The most important step, in Cap
tain Kendall's opinion, to increase
the salmon run in Southeast Alaska
is to start Immediately to clean out
streams and protect the natural
spawning grounds. 81 would like 20
see a meeting at Seattle this winter
between the. Gamers and representa-
tive Alaska citizens to formulate
plans for such work." said Captain
Kendall to a representative of the
Juneau Dispatch. Il am confident
there is not Gamer but who would
cooperate along these lines"
With Captain Kendall fish propa-
cation is religion. He started
preaching it 35 years ago on the
Columbia river, and has stayed with
his text ever since. He is man
intensely devoted to the fisheries.
Captain Kendall first went to Bristol
bay for the Alaska Packers, where
his work received such favorable
comment that he was transferred -
Loring. He left Loring to take the
management of the American Can
company.
Climatic conditions may bar Alas
ka from ever having a can fac
tory. Captain Kendall told a COM
mittee of the Juneau Commercial
club. He believes factory in Alas
ka would have to be waterproofed
and steam heated to keep cans from
rusting. This, he thinks, would prove
very expensive.

Assistant Director of Railroad

That the railroad Of the future may

forecast made recently in an address on
the future status Of the railroads BY

Good roads are demanded for the use
of the automobile and study should be
made to see what additional expense
would be necessary to SO construct them
that they would serve for motor truck
and tractor.
Where. heretofore. development of
the country for 20 miles on either side
Of a trunk line railroad has required the
construction of light branches, it is n
question to be seriously considered
whether this policy should be continued
or whether good wagon roads should be
constructed and the products of farms
and passenger travel should not be ham
died by motor trucks and automobiles to
the main line.

Mr. Morse closed his remarks with a
recommendation that each question

New Type Of Spring Will Give
Real Light Weight Without
Loss Of Comfort.

According to persistent reports gong
the rounds of the automobile industry,
the WHY'S Overland company. in build
ing it's Forthcoming new model. has sue
ressfuly solved the problem Of combln-
ing riding comfort with light weight.
To build a motor car light il weight
and embodying quality. economy and SIM
plicity of design. yet possessing all the
comfortable riding characteristics Of the
larger and heavier vehicles. has Deen one
Of the absorbing aims of the automobile
industry for a number Of years.
New Type of Spring.
The problem of reaching ideal light
weight has been puzzling one and was
pot made possible Of solution until engl-
neering attention eentered upon springs.
Light began to dawn when the WHY'S
Overland engineers attacked the light
weight and comfort problem convinced
that a new type of spring must be de-
vised. The three point cantileTer spring
suspension was the result and is the ha-
sic principle in the new car which Over
land will soon offer. This principle
admits of short wheel base. without
which light weight cannot be achieved,
and at the same time gives the new
model a long riding or spring base which
produces comfort.
The advantage of light weight con-
struction in motor cars long has been
recognized in the industry. For years
metallurgistG have devoted their entire
time and energy to perfecting metals

persistent road shocks. vet light in
weight. They have accomplished much
towards this end, as ii comparison of
the cars of today with those Of yester-
day will readily disclose.

The new Overland spring suspension
has. it is claimed by the company's en-
gineers. proved through its departure
from the conventional design, large-ca
comfort in riding in an economical auto
mobile of actual light weight design.
Their work was guided by the principle
laid down by John \. WHY'S, president
Of the company, that all Of these adj
vantages were to be incorporated with
no sacrifice Of the economy Of opera
ton and upkeep that the public has long
expected Of the light weight car. The
heavier automobiles have had the adj
vantage of longer wheel bases. the
equivalent Of which is attained in the
Overland through its unusual spring
suspension.
The introduction Of the new Over
laud model is awaited with keen interest.

The motorist is sometimes puzzled to
know just what shape his bearings. are
in and does not know how to test them.
Connecting rod bearings should be tested
by tapping them very gently with ham

In some cases where oil drips from the

When the car stops suddenly III the
