Our Washington correspondent
writes us that the nek wool tar
iff is so outrageous that it will
take almost a billion hollars each
year in additional prices, over
what they should be, from the
pockets of the consul iners. This
amount alone, in four years.
would pay the entire pin for the
soldiers bonus. The people,
who would like to see the boys
get the bonus, will have to pay
this bill, and yet the soldiers
will go without their recompense.
One of the most iHonical frauds
in the wool tariff is the fact that
it taxes as pure wool every fake
and fraud that by anN stretch of
the truth can be classed as wool.
A Workman's blue winter shirt,
which he fondly thinks is wool,
has placed on it q duty of 108
per cent. though there is no real
wool in it. To call it wool is an
insult which even a sheep should
resent. The goods used to make
these shirts usually contains
from 80 to 85 per cent. of shoddy
and the remainder is cotton.
Many folks think the word shod.
dy merely means poor grade of
wool. That is correct as far as
it goes, but the fact is'that shod-
dy is made from the ragpicker's
rags, pulled to pieces by machin-
cry and again spun and dyed.
The long fiber and the life of the
original wool are gone and the
garment in which it is used is of
short life, poor quality and of
little warmth. The duty on
wool is put on under pretense of
protecting the farmer. 1t really
removes all the protection he has
against the cheat and the fraud.
All of the farmers need to wear
woolen garments and buy them
for their families, yet on z per
cent of the farmers raise sheep,
while only 8 or 4 per cent have
large iocks. The tariff on the
raw wool will enrich the wool

If a yard of cloth formerly cost
him two dollars, his fifty per

for three dollars-a profit of one

costs him three dollars and he
adds fifty per cent for profit, he

 NOME DISTRICT

w. P. Hammon in a recent interview with the Nome Nugget, expressed most optimistic views regarding the future of Nome mining developments. He re- iterates the statements made by his Nome representative that the policy of the Hammon Consolidated Gold Fields is to economically and success fully mine the gold bearing gravels of this district. To this end the best en- gineerjng minds of the country are as sOcated in an active campaign to bring order out of chaotic, antiquatcd methods Of mining, Modern methods, best scientific equipment and an or ganization functioning smoothly are the means employed to achieve results.
 The HammOn Consolidated Gold FiGlds comes to Nome fully equipped to meet the many different problems confronting them. Their purpose is to get the gold in the most economical manner and in the largest quantities. The best mechanical devices and the best procurable brains will be em- ployed to this end.
 Asked his opinion of the country MT. HammOn stated that upon making a personal examination of the properties and surveying the work accomplished by his lieutenants in the local field he is perfectly satisfied with what he finds. His engineers reports submit ted to him on the outside are fully proved by personal contact and he has full confidence in the future develop ment of his own company properties,
 The Hammon Consolidated Gold Fields are here to stay for many years and their operations will be extended as conditions permit. Construction work will be rushed by a corps of em- nloves who make no false moves, no "cut and fit methods" are employed, everything has it's place and every man his work clearly defined
 The history of the Hammon onora- ticns reveal that in no instance hay"
 heir operations been other than high " successful due to their scientific methods of operation.
 In conclusion Mir. IIammon stat s that the d7yeIorment of his company rronortios will open the field for other operations, all tending to build u9 the local industries. Their presence in tA" field is not to pursue a policy of elimt, nation of other operators, but rathor jo

 Many men will be employed summer and winter to complete present con- struction and after preliminary work has been accomplished operations will be begun early and continued late in the season so as to obtain the best results.
 The purpose of the Hammon Con- solidated Gold Fields is to procure the greatest possible quantity of gold with the least expense incident to this end.

WILL SIMPLIFY MINING WORK
 UNDER BUREAU

Relations of the mining industry ot Alaska with the Government will be greatly simplified through a conso iidatiOn of. administration under : plan approved by Secretary Fall and placed in effect recently. Supervision of all activities carried on in the Territory by the Bureau of Mines in the future will be vested on one of ficial who will receive and act upon reports which previously have had to journey to Washington for action. Benjamin D. Stewart, Territorial mining inspector during the past three years. has been appointed to this supervisional position.
 Under the newly adopted plan, MT. Stewart will be in charge of the bureaus station at Fairbanks at the same time acting as Federal min ing inspector and personal repre- sentative of the Secretary of the h. terior in matters relating to opera tion3 under the leasing act.
 Supervisions of the leasing opera tions in Alaska soon will prove to be one of the heaviest tasks of the new office in the view of of ficials. Increased activities in con- nection with coal mining naturally are to be expected since the Inter- int tn intensive campaign to link private industry with development of the Territory's deposits, Alaska's oil fields also are attracting an increas- ing amount of attention, and it is being predicted that the Katalla field soon will be proven to hold only small portion of the Terri tory's reserves of oil. Officials now are referring to future develop ments as holding tremendous pos abilities" pointing especially to the favorable structures existing in the peninsula region.

CARELESSNESS CAUSE THREE-FOURTHS TOLL
 IN FIRE DISASTERS

CHICAGO, Oct 18.-Carelessness is the cause of three-fourths of the annual fire toll of 15,0OO lives and property worth half billion dollars according to George B. Muldaur, gen eral agent of the Underwriters lab oratories, in an address broadcast simultaneously from twenty radio stations recently as part of the ob- servance, of Fire Prevention Day, the anniversary of the Chicago fire of 1871.
 "The time to put out fire is be- fore it starts" he said. No amount of fire eXtinguishing apparatus can cope with uri-c"a2l car3,essness. By the education of the public, indus trial organizations and school chil- dren to avoid carelessness, indiffel'- ence and selfishness, the desired result can be brought about.
 What do you know about the fire hazards existing in your own house? When did you last go over the house with a view of seeing if any danger exists? Where is the nearest fire alarm box? Do you know how to operate it? What do you know about the condition of your children's school? Is it fireproof? Are there plenty of exits? Has it fire escapes? Do they have fire drills? Are the motion picture the aters to which you and your family are in the habit of going properly protected?
