During the first hour of the opening
of the new Chocolate Shop last night,
1900 boxes of candy were given away.
Carnations, which lasted longer, were
passed out at the same rate. From the
minute the new store opened, there
was large crowd blocking the side
walks, seeking to get inside of the
newest institution. of its kind in Phoe-
nix
constant stream of visitors circled
in and out of the Chocolate Shop. On
the way into the place, each visitor
was served with fruit punch, and on
the way out souvenir boxes of candy
and carnations were given away. One
hundred and twenty gallons of punch
were consumed by the guests of the
Georgouses Bros. who are managing
the place.
During the evening an orchestra

Mr.. Flynn The food administration is

If the committee is not active, the
attorney general suggests that the de-
partment of justice speed it up where
it is not aggressive and take prompt
action in all cases."
The chief new feature of the law
is its relation to the clothiers, the pres

to a nation wide slogan, wear and

Mr.. Flynn has the record Of the
investigation that was made by the
food administration and will make a
point of seeing if the law has been
carried out since October %, when it
became effective.

H|GLEY TOWNSHIPS
READY FOR FILING

The townships in the Higley district,
Withdrawn some time ago for re-
survey, have been surveyed and ap-
proved and will be filed in the United
States land office December 3, ac-
cording to S. d. Poole, chief clerk of
the land department.
Whether or not there will be any
homesteads available could not be
stated by Poole yesterday as the num-
Der of settlers are unknown. The land
has been withdrawn from entry for
some time.
According to the records that land
includes township south east and
township south east and was re-
surveyed on petition of the settlers to
the secretary of the interior on ac-
count of corners having been lost.
The district in question has been the
scene of bitter quarrels over home
steads and in one instance, at least
resulted in a fatality. It is claimed
that the ownership of a homestead il,
Higley was responsible for the killing
of John W. Bell, Spanish war veteran
by J. r. Beasley. who is now serving
life sentence for murder. The
shooting was a comparatively recent
tragedy, having occurred in the
summer Of 1917.

clares United States At
torney Flynn

That the Food Control Act" which
in its amended form became a law on
October %, will be vigorously enforced
in this district. was the statement yes
terday OF Thomas A. Flynn. United
States attorney, who is determined to
put an end to profiteering in Arizona.
While the original act only carried
a penalty for boarding and the wilful
destruction of food. the scope has been
enlarged and for violation of any OF
the provisions of the act the penalty
has been fixed at fine not exceeding
$4,000 Imprisonment not exceeding
two years, or both Unfair practices,
the making OF unjust and unTeason-
able rates and charges are set down
as unlawful. and this not only refers
to foods but to wearing apparel" and
merchants will be compelled to observe
the law as strictly as the retail and
wholesale grocers who were recently
investigated here.
Should End Profiteering
The department of justice has re-
ceived word from the attorney general
Of the United States to the effect that
the law be carried out to the letter.
Mr.. Flynn in discussing the matter
said that the present law should stamp
out profiteering. He declareds that
only now is the law such that the eff
forts OF the department of justice can
be effective. the act previous to its
amendment being insufficient to cover
many Of the cases Of profiteering which
came TO light through the investiga-
ton conducted by George H. Smalley
executice secretary to the food admin
istration.
"The only offenses that carried pen.
alties were boarding and wilful de-
struction OF food. We found few vio-
lations. On the other hand, the in
vestigation of the food administration
officials indicated instances of out
rageous margins among food dealers
including wholesalers" he said

Gems Romantic History.

Truly romantic is the story of the
Braganza diamond stone of 1850
carats, and "as large as goose's egg,
which, for more than century, has
been the proudest possession of the
Portuguese crown. This amazing stone,
which Mr.. Streeter, the great author
ity on gems, has valued at f5S,OOO, 900.
was picked up by three Brazilian out
laws in the half-dried bed Of the
Abaite river in the province of Minas
Geraes.
The outlaws took, the stone to the
nearest village priest, who obtained
access for them to the governor, into
whose possession it was given. The
diamond. the largest and finest hither-
to found, was dispatched to Lisbon,
with the result that the three outlaws
received the royal pardon and rich
reward, while the padre to whose
friendly offices they owed their good
fortune was given high preferment In

INTERIOR is SATISFIED

Seward should at once make a pro-
test against the postoffics department
ruling that mail for the Iditarod coun-
try during the coming winter is to be
routedfrom Cordova, via Chitina, then
to Fairbanks, and finally reaching
Flat City. Many hundred miles out
of the way are involved, and many
days, perhaps weeks. From Seward
to Anchorage, then to Flat City, is a
trail well travelled during the winter
months.
Anchorage should also take the mat
ter of a protest up, and our sister
railroad city, Nenana, has already
made her protest.
The mail can be transported by rail
to the end of steel on the Talkeetna
steel on the Nenana division it is a
matter of approximately 1870 miles, or
three or four days travel by dog
team. At Nenana there is a splendid
trail to Flat City. or rather there has
always been one in previous winters,
and it is safe to say the same thing
can be said for next winter.
The trail from the end of steel on
the Nenana division to the end of
steel on the Talkeetna division will
be heavily travelled this coming Win
ter, according to information received
from Nenana Those in Seward know
that there will be heavy travel from
here to the Interior, as the trail last
winter proved it's worth by being
shorter by several hundred miles than
the trail from Nenana, via Fairbanks,
via Chitina to Cordova.-Seward Gate
way.
The wonder is that these people who
would busy themselves in behalf of
the threatened sections would not first
find out how the inhabitants thereof
feel about the matter. Anchorage
claims that the old route is best. Ne
mana and Seward want it routed over
the pack trail between the ends of
steel along the right of way. AL
though it cuts our own service down
200 pounds per week, Fairbanks has
made no protest because it believes
that the service will be safer, better
and quicker over the Richardson road
and by the way of Tanana and Ruby.
And furthermore, it has been assured
that the people of Flat and Iditarod
hold the same opinion. Of course, II

VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS

A news item in the Juneau Empire
a few DAYS ago told of repairs being
made to the governors office in Jul
neau to make the building more air
tight. That old building is disgrace
to the great territory Of Alaska; and
we have been wondering lately what
has become of the appropriation for
the new building.-Douglas News.
One of the measures to be voted on
by the members of the Alaska Indus
trial Union, the new name for the
Alaska Labor Union, is one asking the
United States to recognize the Rus
sian soviet government. If any mem
bers of the Alaska Labor Union are
in favor of the soviet government 1t
is a good time for them to come out
and say so, in order that they may be
deported to a place where the govern
ment suits them better than that OF
the United States. Sovietism and It's
followers should not be tolerated IN
Alaska. nor will it be.-Valdez Miner.
In his self-assigned task of making
a wild game preserve out of all Alaska,
Mr.. Hornaday resents the protests
made by Alaskans to his procedure. He
seeks to discredit these protests by
saying that they arise from the we'll
known mercenary proclivities of all
Alaskans. "The people of Alaska are,

Less than generatRn ago the prin-
cipal, in fact the only, business in
Alaska was that of fur. Fur was the
incentive that brought the Russians
to Alaska from a governing point more
than half way distant around the
world Fur was the wealth that first
brought Alaska to the worlds notice,
and Russians, British, Yankees, Jap
anese and traders of other nationali-
ties We'd with each other for the fur
trade of this portion Of northwestern
North America. In the old days it
was sea otter, fur seal, blue fox and
whale oil instead of gold, copper, coal,
oil and canned salmon that were con-
sidered the wealth-giving resources Of
our country.
And yet at no time in the worlds
history was fur held at higher price
than it is today. Admitted that some
of our best fur business, sea otter and
fur seal, are either tabooed or in the
hands of the government, and beaver
and marten are still protected, how
ever, there are other varmints around
that can be secured, and their prime
pelts are worth a heap of money. So
you had better go out and get few
of 'em instead of giving your good
money for a steamship ticket.-An-
