RELIEF SENT TO ST
 LAWRENCE ISLANDERS

The schooner Ukivak, captained by Duffy O'Connor, sailed for St Law renee Island Tuesday carrying a load of supplies for the native inhabitants of the island, who are believed to be short of foodr owing to the failure of the Bear to land there before her de- parture South. As will be recalled, the Bear was unable to land either sup plies or the government school teach CTS. Mir and Mrs Burns. and carried them to Dutch Harbor
 The relief expedition was financed by Geo. R. Gostaw and others and is supplied with enough food to last the islanders until the government sup plies are landed by the schooner Olga, now enroute from Dutch Harbor, where she picked mp the two school teachers and the store of provisions carried by the Bear. The trip of the JTkivak is d hazardous one, as sailing in small vessel at this time of the year, when the storms are on and the freeZeup close at hand. is a decidedly risky and unpleasant task.
 The sailing of the Ukivak on her errand of mercy emphasizes the neces- sity for united effort by local organ izations to induce the Navy Depart ment to provide q better ship to re- place the anticipated Bear, which should have been condemned years ago.

FIRE DESTROYS
 EAST END DWELLING

A small cabin occupied by an Eski- mo known as solomon BilT', situated next door to the home of Ivan Scheike on East Front Street was destroyed by fire Wednesday at 10 a. m. The blaze is said to have started from a gasoline stove and gained considerable 'headway before the alarm was turned in. When the fire department arrived on thes cene, the building was so far gone that little could be done toward saving it and the building and contents were a total loss.
 The alarm came at a somewhat un- fortunate time. as the fire mains were being drained in anticipation of the freezeup and required some time to fill, as pressure had to be brought into 260O feet of eight inch pipe before water could be thrown on the flames. The hydrant at Barrack Square was also partly open as vent at he time of the alarm but caused no delay in the arrival of the water, as it was closed' by Chief Hauga1ey to raise the pressure as speedily ,as possible. The mains once filled the water came as regular as usual The fire team was out exercising at he time of the alarm and Chief Haughey was compelled to requisition q team belonging to w. J. Rowe which happened to pass the fire station before the fire trusk could reach the blaze. The returning fire team was met at Barrack Square and followed the hose truck to the fire.

a STATE CONSTABULARY VS.
PROHIBITION COMMISSIONER.

The fact that the advocates of Il
state constabulary is thrust ut the
prohibition commissioners is not on
that account an objection to the
proposition.
The states of New York and Penn
sylvana are cited as examples-two
of the richest states in the union.
The cost Of the constabulary, which,
in plain language is n police force, is
about four hundred and seventy thou
sand dollars year for each state.
While there is such Il demand for
money for roads, schools ct cetera ad
infinitum, it does not appear good
business at this time to inauuguerate
Il new system, which would call for
an army of new officers and thou
sands and thousands of dollars ex-
pcnse.

BILL THAT STARTED SOME
THING.

Mr.. Boshcn, we believe il was, who
offered n bill, which, if it becomes
law, will compel Wholesale merchants
to mark the prices charged jobbers
and retailers on goods sold. The
wholesale people went up into the
air when this bill was offered, and
hurried strong delegations to Rich
mond to protest.
1t would be interesting and afford
food for thought" for the public to
be let into the secret of the cost
originally of the goods passed over
the counter to the consumer. Why
not? Now and then Il merchant marks
the selling price in plain figures on
his goods. The cost price is marked
IN letters, as unintclligiblc, and so
intended to be, to the "innocent by
ISLANDER" as hyerogly phcs on. an
Egyptian monument.
The purchaser has the right to
know whether or not he is imposed
upon and robbed by unscrulous prof
iteers.
Such IL bill would it is believed.
allay criticism on the one hand and
curb excessive profits on the other.
The public is entirely willing to allow
the merchants living, reasonable
profit, and if they were taken into
the confidence of the consumers and
found that the merchant is telling the
truth when he says he is selling OH
Small margin" of profit, there
would be no kick. AS it is, ninety
nine consumers out Of every one hun
dred, thinks he is being robbed by
the merchants, true or untrue, and
it is believed the enactment of such
law as proposed, would be Il step i'm
the right direction. However, the bill
will not become law if the big
Wholesale merchants can prevent it
according to newspaper reports.
The largest wholesale establish.
ment in the world has its prices pub
lished in the newspapers every day

THE LAWYERS TRUST BILL

A bill has been offered in the Leg
islaturc-name of patron not recall
ed-which should not, and will not
become a law. 1t provides that no
deed, contract or legal paper of any
description shall be recognized in
law unless prepared and written by n
licensed lawyer, and signed with his
own name. This bill is wonderful
conception! 1t proposes to form a
lawyers trust, to forbid magistrates,
real estate dealers and others all
over the state, from writing deed
or an agreement of any kind.
Every time any instrument, how
ever simple, is to be written, a trim
::-at b made to town and lawyers
fee paid etc. 1t is not believed that
half dozen respectable lawyers can
be found in the state, who favor any
such bill as this. If the solons in
Richmond haven't any thing more
profitable and necessary to spenc
their time over they had best adjourn
and go home and go to work.

Sir divers object. His declaration as

SIR oLIvER-THE ACID TEST.

If the public has been disappointed
in the visit and lectures of the dis
tinguished scientist and psychicist
the disappointment has been an agree
able one to an extent. Judging from
newspaper interviews etc. he is an
humble. plain, everyday sort of man,
extremely simple and honest. He is
free of most of the freakish and fool
notions connected with mediums" and
ouija boards. His advice is that these
be let severely alone. He has large
family of boys, one of whom, Ray
mond, lost his life in the war. Sir
Oliver claims to have held converse
with his son since he passed into the
Beyond. BY what means or methods
has not been stated so far as known
by this writer.
Some have been disappointed that
the great scientist should express
doubt. 1t is expected and demanded
OF scientific men that they shall
know things and state conclusions.
with holiness and assurance. Lesser
men and minds than Sir Oliver are
not slow to dogmatize about things
beyond their ken.
i DO not dogmatize," he says, "but
keep an open mind" He further saws
that his views and beliefs "wiu. 70.
enforce religion" Not then, we take
it, so much as to prove the teachino
of the Bible on Immortality, but to
prove it by scientific reasoning, is
