PUBLIC SERVICE BUNK
The Tooth Extracting and Smoke
Consuming Department in the
City Hall Makes People
Laugh.

Why doesn't the alleged city de-
partment of Public Service get after
the fraudulent weighing machines,
with which the city is infested?
Can you guess why il doesn't?
There are 102,641 of these machines
scattered all over the city on city
sidewalks
1t is safe to say that 100000 of them
are out of order most Of the time.
They yield an immense revenue. as
each patron is obliged to give up one
cent for the privilege of finding out
how much he does not weigh
Another fraud on the public is the
counterfeit gum vending cent.in.the
slot machine, which in the majority Of
cases, takes the cent but yields no
gum.
Why is It that the City Department
Of Public Service permits these frauds
to exist?

William ApplebY yesterday received a telegram from James Barrack, who is on his way to the outside. stating that he was held up at Chitina and in quarantine.
 James says that he has uice little quarantine station all to himself and at times he is a bit lonesome. He will do ten days and then be allow ed to proceed on his way. In the opinion of Barrack the disease from which the Copper river Indians are suffering may not be the "flu" but something else. James is not in the same camp as E. R. Peoples and Theodore Johnson, his quarters being more secluded.

 To support his idea he cites the case of Henry Wirz who. during the civil war, attained the hatred of the ,ntire nation for his inliuman treat. ment of prisoners confined at Cap Andersonville, Georgia, Nirz, after the war ended, was arrested and tried for the many deaths he caused among the prisoners entrusted to his care. The trial resulted in his execution. The same policy should hold true as to the Germans, is the contention of Bourgeois.

At the present time nineteen steamers and thirteen sail. ing ships are anchored in the harbor awaiting orders from their home of fices. The total tonnage tied up aggregates over ninety thousand lons.
 The strikers are determined that they will not give in unless their de- mands ale complied with and the employers are just as determined the other way.

PETITION FOR RIVER ROAD IS:
 IN CIRCULATION

A petition is in circulation calling for the building of a road along the banks of the Cinema river up stream as far as the Courtnay ranch about twelve miles from Fairbanks and is receiving the signatures of everyone to whom presented. One copy of the petition will be pre-. scented to the road commissioner and tie other to the Fairbanks Commer. cial Club, whose aid will be request. ed in securing the much desired need to transportation.
 The petition has many good fea- lures, on consideration, and should the prayer be granted it would open up large section of splendid agri- cultural land that would otherwis. lie untouched for many years to come. With the road in use thos( farmers now living along tEe river bank would be enabled to bring thei produce to town at any period oi the year and by easy methods. Dul ing the summer the present plan is to use either a polling boat or a motor boat, which requires consider able time and expense. In the win ter a trail on the river is used, which, during the breakup period. is not safe and stops the farmers from coming to town for their supplies.
 The petition is one of merit and s. ould receive the endorsement of all who may be approached.
