PIONEERS OPPOSED
 TO BONE DRY LAW

The following is from the Ketchi- kan Chronicle of recent date:
 At recent meeting of the Pioneers of Alaska, Ketchikan Igloo No. 16, adopted resolutions, condemning the Bone Dry Law and urging that the lawmakers give the people of the Territory voice in the matter of leg islation. The resolutions of the Igloo, which are self-explanatory, read:
 Whereas: The Alaska Bone Dry Law ha5 rever been submitted to the people of the territory for referendum, and does net represent the true senti- ment of the people of Alaska on pro- hiDtion.
 Whereas: The very stringency of the Bone Dry Law renders it's enforce mont impossible, inasmuch as certain pr )visions of same are contrary to the United States Pharmacopiea and are a hindrance to the use of alcohol for in dustrial purposes.
 Whereas In spite of every effort , on the part of honest officials and law enforcement officers it is admit ted that the Bone Dry Law is inef- fective, which we believe is caused by the unreasonable provisions that ren- der well meaning and law abiding citi- | ,f in1o of
 Whereas. We do not believe the Try it on the dog method of legisla- tion should be adopted toward this territory, and that we should be given the same degree of liberty as is ex- tended to other parts of our country under the eighteenth amendment to the constitution.
 Therefore, be it resolved: That we, the members of Igloo No. 16, Pio- neers of Alaska, believing that we represent the opinion of the majority of the citizens of Alaska, do petition our lawmakers to have the Bone Dry Law of Alaska put to referendum, so that the people of this territory can make it known whether they wish the said law to stay on the statute books, or prefer the provisions of the
 eighteenth amendment to the consti- tuition only, to be effective under the
 Volstead Act in the Territory of Alas

CROSBY IS ATTORNEY
 FOR FIGHT PROMOTER

Former Attorney-G and former Delegate George B. Grigsby of Alaska, is attorney for Tex Rickard in the litigation involving the receivership for his Madison Square Garden enter tainment enterprise and in other mat ters. Tho5e recently visited with MT. Grigsby in New York say that Tex Rickard is giving him little time to devote to other clients.
 Tex Rickard recently attracted a great deal of notice when he leased the Madison Square Garden in New York and put in tracks for all sorts of field athletics, fistic and wrestling bouts, theaters, cafes, etc. Recently the enterprise was put in the hands of 6 receiver, due, in part at least, to conflicting claims of those inter- ested. An appeal has been taken from the court order naming re- ceivers.
 Tex Rickard was formerly a resi- dent of Nome Later he became the principal prizefight promoter in the country. He pulled off the Jeffries- Johnson, the Willard Dempsey and the Carpenter champion ship contests.

reported for the first 10 months of the year we may say that in 1922 theer will be 11.000 deaths from n- huenza and pneumonia in excess Of the number which would have oe- cured if the 1921 death rates had prevailed this year among all policy holders in American life insurance companies. In the population of the United States and Canada the in- crease will probably amount to be- tween 10000 and 25,000 over last year. year. But probably more CM year. But probably more important than the increased mortality from influenza and pneumonia. Is the rise of mortality for group of diseases which are broadly designated as de- generatiye diseases Heart disease mortality is actually seven per cent higher this year than last, and this applies equally to ordinary IS well AS well as to the industrial companies. The mortality experience of the sum mer and fallfbf this year has been so extraordinarily good, However, as to offset in a measure the higher death rates prevailing in the early part of the year."

l,hOo in the population of the two countriea There have been very material declines also in the mortal- ity of children from the contagious diseases with the single exception of measles. There was an improvement also in the death rate for mothers from the conditions. related to ma ternity. Suicides and homicides show lower rates this year than last.

 "1'he. automobile accident death rate for both industrial and ordinary business combined shows slight in- crease over the figure recorded for the year 1921 -four per eent) But the increase of seven per cent. for in- dustrial policyholders is q. really sig nihcant fact. IL means that the risk of death from the automobile has increased decidedly this year for per- sons who use the streets, and this applies particularly to children whose deaths figure so prominently in the mortality record for this cause. Fully occur among children under 1b, and these are insured for the most part in industrial companies.
