RAILROAD POLICY AND POPULA-
 LAYTON
(From Anchorage Times)

(From Anchorage Times)
 According to figures compiled by the United states customs service at Ju- reau, Alaska has gained but 151 addi- uCnal citizens between the years of 1916 and 1921, inclusive. During 1916 a total of 2S,606 persons arrived in Alaska from the United States and British Columbia, while 26,S59 depart cd from the territory, leaving a mar gin of 1,717. The next two years saw the balance slip over to the loss side Of the statistical sheet, 27,030 persons aHving and 31,259 departing, making a loss of 4229 in 1917, and 19,O40 ar irving in 1918, while 27,732 departed, another loss of S,692 for the year. The pendulum swung backward during the next three years, with 24,273 arrivals and 23,902 departures during the year 1919, a gain of 371. Again in 1920 the score was almost evenly balanced: of 26,17O arriving, 26153 departed, leav- ing total of F for the good. For the year 1921 total of 17,3O1 arrived while 17,157 departed, leaving gain of IA, or total loss during the six years mentioned of 10,542.
 That the loss is not greater is due to the construction of the United States railroad. By the same token the future growth in population must be gauged by this enterprise.
 Analyzing the statistics above it would appear that the territory as a whole suffered from some distinctive deterrent to maintaining population. Various causes have been advanced and each one has his theory. The bulk Of opinion appears to be on the side of ultra-conservation plus imitation due to- the war, plus the working out of known shallow placer and the lack of discovery of new fields calculated to create stampede as in times gone bv.
 At this stage of the situation the territory is turning it's attention from skimming the cream from the placers embracing timber, fisheries, water DOW 2r, lode mining and coal-all agencies calculated to retain and sustain popu- lation.
 But the work along this line has just begun; the bulk of it will fall upon the railroad management Big private en- t"rprises similarly situated and con-

$15, ,000 a Week Profit Being
 Made by Niagara Rum Runners

Hamilton, Ont.-Bootleggers of this city, operating between Waterloo and the Niagara border, are making week. ly profits of between Sl0,000 and S15,- GOO, it is said.
 The Niagara border spells "For- tunatus"
 Whisky for which they paid SAP per case nets them anywhere. from $10 to $l5 a bottle on the Canadian side of the border, and the risk is with the Amer ican carrier. Americans will pay as much as $50 per bottle if they are as sured the ''wells'' haxe not been poi soned. The illicit liquor traffic has been diverted from the Detroit river because of the sharp vigilance main tained there of late.
 Seventy cases of Waterloo whisky at S42 per case, sold for, say, S1250 per bottle, means an immediate profit of S108 per case. or total profit of S7,560 on one truckload, and he is poor bootlegger who fails to 'run" two trucks through per week.

No Booze Test Certain,
 Says Health Chemist

Detroit.-Those who would test the 1922 brand of booze before they drink 1t were offered little encouragement by board of health chemists Wednesday. Those whte-befrocked men say they are not aware of any simple method by which such a test can be made-no way within the power of the layman by which he can distinguish between the good and the bad.
 It is possible, by use of hydrometer to determine the alcoholic content of liquor. but this in itself, they contend, will be of little assistance, because 1t does not show the type of alcohol.
 F. E. DeVoist, board of health chem ist, said he was not aware of any method by which the liquors of today could be tested as to their worth, ex- cept through an intricate chemical an alysis. q wish there was way, it would be very helpful, but as far as l know there is none. It is my opinion, however, that most of the harm is done by drinkers not knowing when they have had enough. I believe it Is not so much the booze they drink as it is the amount
 Mr. DeVoist said tests made by his department show many grades of al- cohol are used in the manufacture of liquors. Many of these he declared to be very injurious. He warned against indiscriminate use of liquors without first ascertaining thelr origin.

Fire Destroys Hall
OF Business Section
OF Town OF Melville

Darlington, N. D.. July 31.-Fire OF
unknown origin destroyed half the
village of Melville early Monday
morning, doing more than $40, 900 OF
damage to stores and stock.
The fire wal discovered by D. 0.
Anderson who rooms upstairs in the
Allen building which is nov occupied
by F. Hill, with a confectionery store.
after he and his family had returned
from a visit in the country. Smelling
smoke+as he climbed the stairs he
rushed down into the store to find the
interior in a sheet of flames. With
difficulty he aroused Floyd Hill, Rob-
ert Gessner and Chas. Van Ray, all
sleeping in the ear of the store. Mr.
Hill was SO overcome with smoke that
he had to be carried out,
The loss is proportioned between
the Hills store and the general mer-
chandise store of j.. w. Sherer. Hill
lost $500 with no insurance. Mr..
Anderson lost $500 in household
goods with no insurance. Sherer lost
$4,000 with $4,000 insurance. The
Allen building represented a value OF
$4,000.
More than 400 people from Car
rlngton responded to the cali for help
and assisted in fighting the blaze.
1t is not probable that the buildings
will be rebuilt. The old Allen build
Ing was a landmark, having been
erected 80 years ago. 1t was the first
building in Melville. The population
Of the village is $50.

GAME LAWS AND OBSERVANCE.

Canda. N. Oak. July 29.-For the
information Of the sportsmen of the
state l would like to state through
your columns that the Game and
Fish Board at a recent meeting held
in Steele. N. D., Appointed a full
corps of Chief. State Wide and Dist
trict Deputy Game Wardens. but as
it is not at this time positively known
whether or not all will accept or
qualify no names are given out.
1t was the aim Of the commission
for these positions. men who are
deeply interested in the preservation
of our Game Birds and Animals, men
who will not hesitate to see that all
persons observe the law. With the
exception of some minor items the
game laws of North Dakota, are lib
eral. easily understood, and should be
observed.
From observation in travelling about
the state and from reports received,
it would appear that there will be an
abundance of strong, matured birds
of both the Pihnated and Sharp-tailed
grouse. Encouraging reports are also
received from territory where the
ruffled grouse are found. The ducks
are found in every slough and lake on
the prairles. generally speaking large
broods predominant. occasionally,
only one or two of the young are seen
with the old bird, but they are the
exception.
The real sportsman will not trans
eress the law. he should see that the
others do not. District deputies will
be within reach Of all parts of the
state, any information furnished
them will be investigated at the
earliest possible time
