almost any quantity of anything in Alaska today, provided it would sub init to bureaucratic dictation in the
 conduct of it's business The interests of Alaska, the interests of posterity, the interests of all the various admin istrative claptrap so far tried out upon protesting but defenseless Alaska, might go to the everlasting pot where
 they would fry eternally, for all bu- reaucracy cares for that kind of bunk per SC. Aside from mere formal pre- lenses for the benefit of Congress and the American people the only thing which ever figures conclusively in
 bureaucratic action is the effect it is expected to have upon bureaucratic jobs and bureaucratic authority. Blu reaucracy would welcome any monopo- list if he would bring plum tree with him. Plainly and bluntly stated, bu- reaucracy feels it's grip upon Alaska to be slipping. I have had a lot to say about bureaucracy in the last few years, and I have said it so plainly that you seldom pick up paper these days that you do not read it's effects in the halls of Congress and in the great editorial columns of American publica- tions which most accurately sense and reflect public opinion. To allay this

and helpless government, and relent- lessly murdered all citizens who voic- ed protest. To such ends will bur reaucracy go to accomplish it's pur- poses; to crimes unsurpassed in in- fanny and unequalled in cowardice in any chapter of Alaric, or Genghis Khan, or Tamerlane.
 The notion of locking up virtually the entire resources of the Territory in the interest of unborn citizens, apt to be of Bolshevik tendencies under such an environment, aroused curiosity in the States thousands of miles from the scenes of bankruptcy and ruin and broken lives. Very soon indeed conser- vation's bureaucratic beneficiaries felt themselves to be upon an insecure footing. A re-statement of the objects and purpose of conservation became imperative. or at least expedient, and thus was inaugurated the series of def initions and explanatory outlines which have culminated in the current pre- tense that 1t is a scheme in the inter- est of the Alaskan people to guard against the gobbling up by imaginary of our incalculably rich natural resources.
 In point of fact, any big business whether monopoly Or other wise could easily enough gobble up

eating pretense. The only monopolist affected injuriously by Alaskan con- servation today is the settler who at tempts to monopolize a score of logs or so to build cabin for the shelter of his half-clad family, or fence with which to protect his lonesome pig from the attacks of wild beasts ConseTva- tion as practiced in Alaska is a false pretense and therefore fraud upon both the people of the United States and the people of Alaska. But the su- preme reason for my undying hatred of the pecksniffian fraud is that it has ruined our homeland a homeland un- matchable on this planet for its majes- ty and beauty, and perhaps unmatch- able in potential wealth and value to mankind; a homeland loved and ven erated by men and women as brave, as intelligent and as virtuous as have liv- ed in this universe since the scrolls of eternity were rolled back and the or der given that time begin I thank you, my friends for your presence and now bid you good night.
 GA voice from the audience:) Hold on a minute. How about the New bill Dan is claiming election on; what's it all about?"
 MT. Drayton: The New bill, my
The Seward gateway., 1922-04-11

friend, provides that the President
 may put on line of government
 steamships to drive the present pri- vate lines out of business; the Presi- dent may do so in his discretion. I do not know it's purpose. Legislation of that general type is known in Wash ington as shake down" measures, or "club" bills. This would be a club sus- pended over the heads of the present steamship companies. I doubt if it an- noys the. steamship companies, as mo- body expects the President would ever exercise his discretion to carry out it's provisions. MT. Sutherland may think the President will do so, but lit tie as I think of Dams judgment I cannot believe he takes it seriously. If he did, the logical thing for him to support would be the Cummings bill, which makes it mandatory that the President shall put on the government line of steamers. Both measures seek to consolidate, strengthen and perpet- uate the present bureaucratic system, and the passage of either bill will be the end temporarily of Alaskas aspi- rations for self-government and busi- ness revival unless the American peo- pie can be aroused and called tO our defense.
The Seward gateway., 1922-04-11

public restlessness and disquietude bu- reaucracy would gladly welcome a re- vival of industry; and to do so it would mould and shape conservation to any form, through the process of interpretation and construction, that would tempt business revival It is true that all bureaucrats look upon business activity as menace. of great CT or less magnitude. Many bureau crats argue that business activity would be their undoing; that business would soon acquire predominating influence. and that bureaucracy would infallibly become a mere tool, or at least a mere instrumentality, for the benefit of business concerns, and pos- sibly even for the benefit of the gen. eral public. But the bugaboo of con- servation, like Banquo's ghost, will not down. Capital is holding off and will continue to hold off while bureau cracy remains supreme. In plain words, business stays away from Alaska as matter of discretion, not because of bureaucratic Encouragement through the waving of its conservation scare crow.

this city. They recently purchased
21s1 head Of Hereford cattle which
cost them, including the freight, over
s76,0D0 dollars. These cattle arrived
in this city less than ten days ago
and by Wednesday, June 18th all Of
them but 200 head had been disposed
Of to Audrain, Galloway and Monroe
county farmers. This Is the first
time in the history of this section Of
the state such a big cattle deal has
been successfully put over.
The cattle required IS cars, or
practically a full train to transport
them. The freight was over 5000.
Nv. D. Mason did the buying and all
of the animals which are stockers Of
extra good quality, r almost all
one of three brands.
1t is interesting to note that the
cattle were sold here for less than
they could have been disposed of in
Kansas City. In fact the extra
freight, commissions and yardage in
Kansas City or st. Louis would have
increased the cost of them $7i a car
The cattle were purchased in Cir
ard, Txas. The men who bought
them from the shippers are feeding
mostly for Fall market though a few
are preparing their purchases for
shipment during the summer.
