resident fishermen, the bill merely put small tax on those who did not think enough of Alaska to come and live here at least six months out of the year.
 Aiding MT. Hardy in this fight against the local fishermen were Thomas Jensen of Nome; Speaker Wilcox, Jos. Murray, Ben Grier, Wm. Sherman, of the Third; Harry Wat son, George Moody and Robert Shel- don of the Fourth.
 Those supporting the local fisher men were c. B. Ferguson, Wm. D. Grant, William l.. Paul, of the First; J. J. Elliott, Andy Nylen, R. N. Sund. quist, of the Second; and H. H. Ross of the Fourth.
 When it came to the bill by Will liam L. Paul to tax fish traps on the basis of what they actually caught, at the rate of $500 per thousand, MT. Hardy voted against the bill and therefore against the small trap owner. Always MT. Hardy voted with the big fellows and cared nothing for the little. In this case the trap that catches over 5O0,OO0 salmon a season will continue to pay tax of $2O0, and the little trap of 15,OOO capacity will also pay $2OO.
 He voted for the $80,O0O hatchery appropriation, of which the hatchery men themselves admit that $5O,OOO is waste. He also voted for the $163,0O0 for the Fairbanks College with it's 35 bona fide students of which 27 are residents of Fairbanks. And yet some business men think that MT. Hardy had something to do with the keeping down of taxes.
 Even so, we think that the Congress of the United States will thank MT. Hardy for this reason: In his bill on behalf of the bootleggers, MT. Hardy expressly extended the Volstead Act and the Eighteenth Amendment to Alaska and declared that hereafter the two laws would be in full force and effect in Alaska.

N. 0. HARDY

COHlUlldClOn Ol DomOCrdCS ana ulS- gruntled Republicans and aided by a small number of worthy citizens who voted for him because they knew that his private life was good.
 Nothing can be said against those Democrats who supported MT. Hardy for he was their candidate and he was entitled to their support.
 As to those Republicans who sup ported him because they were not able to control the Republican pri- mary, it can be said that they should never have gone into the primary election. It is this class of persons who are really the "rule or ruin' class. It is this class too who have voted the Democratic ticket for many years and yet call themselves Repub- icans for purpose. They are neither and should be despised by all good citizens.
 As to the small number of worthy citizens who voted for MT. Hardy be- cause of their good opinion of him, they should learn that in every cleo tion, principles are at stake and the election of good, but weak man, often spells serious damage to our country.
 MT. Hardy went into the combina- tion of Demo-Republican led by Speaker Wilcox and Jos. Murray, and never once did he vote contrary to orders.
 Although he is personally "dry," he introduced the bootleggres' bill to re- peal the Alaskan Bone Dry Act. Those who voted with him were Jos. Mur- ray, Ben Grier, Speaker Wilcox, of the Third; Harry Watson, George Moody, Robert Sheldon, of the Fourth
 He also voted for the repeal of the Direct Primary laws, and thus aligns himself on the side of the corrupt convention system. In this he was aided by Speaker Wilcox, Jos. Mur- ray, Ben Grier, Wm. Sherman, of the Third Division; Harry Watson, George Moody, and Robert Sheldon. cf the Fourth.
 He voted for the bill to protect the local merchants against the travelling peddlers or solicitors, and showed that he could see where the resident mer- chants should be protected; but when it came to protecting the resident laboring man or fisherman, he voted against them. We refer to the bill in- troduced by William L. Paul provid- ing for a small discriminatory tax against nonresident fishermen. The proposed tax on non-residents was 1925 for gill-netters, $50 for trollers, and $50 for seiners, the applicants of six months previous residence being taxed only $1.OO

STROKE KILLS JAMES
McNALLY OF fort Lee
Found Unconscious on Floor of
Bedroom Early Thursday
Morning.

James McNally, 60, of 2024 Lemoine
avenue, Fort Lee, died of an apoplec-
tic stroke in bedroom above his un-
dertaking establishment on Main
street in Fort Lee on last Wednesday
night. His body was found by Tony
Bruno, an employee, early Thursday
morning.
1t was Mr.. McNally's custom to
sleep above the Office in order to re-
spond promptly to night calls and on
Wednesday night despite heavy cold
he was faithful to his profession.
DR.. Scott was called in and believ-
ing there might be chance to re-
store life had the body sent to the
hospital but he never regained con-
sciousness.
The grand old man"-he was 60
according to his brother, Thomas, is
survived by his widow, nee Sarah
Mcdonald, whom he married sixteen
years ago; his daughter, Grace, IA
years old; his brother, Thomas, with
whom he was associated in the un-
dertaking business until last May;
four sisters, Mrs. Charles A. Hunt, of
Fort Lee; Mary, Nelly, and Sister
Anne Maria, of st. Michael's Villa,
and a nephew, Jim Hunt, a son of his
sister.
The. two McNally brothers estab-
lished their undertaking business in
Fort Lee, in 1891, when both were
young men. They remained partners
in the thriving business until last
May, when Thomas ended lifetime
of championship by resigning to en-
ter politics. Thereafter Jim carried
on the business alone but none of his
family or friends ever believed that
he was overworked He took his first
vacation in years only last summer
when he spent several weeks in Flor
ida.
Before the founding of the success
full business by the two brothers,
James McNally was owner and driver
of hack line that hauled passengers
inland from the Fort Lee ferry be-
fore the advent of the Public Service
Company with it's trolley cars. The
line had been started by the father
of the two boys and it was no doubt
by reason of his association with it
that Jim was ever ready with his

Headed by Macfadden

One of the largest recent real es-
tate transactions in Bergen county,
was consummated in Bergenfield Sat
urday afternoon, when approximately
213 acres of Bergenfield land were
sold to a New York syndicate, said
to be headed by Bernarr Macfadden,

The lump sum given was 100000.
The transaction was made through

Alfred Christie, of Bergenfield, and
Charles Lansing, of 522 Fifth avenue,
New York City, attorney for the syn
dicate.
Fifty-six acres of the land, formerly

Record Run for "The School for Scandal

For brilliancy of wit, perfection of
acting and splendor of adornment, it
is doubtful if there is current on
Broadway another attraction so COM
pletely satisfying as the Druce and
Street, representation of Sheridans
famous comedy, "The School for Scan
dal," with Mrs. insult in the immortal
role of Lady Teazle. This production
ords, and has entered upon it's third
month with no abatement in public
enthusiasm and demand. Previously,
Augustin DAILY, whose version of COM
edy is used by Druce and Street,, held
the record run in New York for "The
School for Scandal" his notable pre-
sentation with Ada Rehan and John
Drew in 1891, having played six
weeks to total of an even fifty per-
formances. But "The School for Scan
dap' of 1925 has already left this
splendid achievement we'll in the rear,
which speaks volumes for high
standard and histrionic delights.
''The School for Scandal is in
every sense modern play, and might
just as we'll have been written yester-
day so applicable is its flashing wit
and subtle satire to the foibles and
manners of the present generation.
Mrs. insult is a most captivating and
delightful Lady Teazle; while all the
other parts are equally we'll inter-
preted by favorite Broadway players.
Special mention should be made of
the characterization of Hubert Druce
as Sir Peter; Frederick G. Lewis as
Joseph Surface: William Seagram as
his brother Charles, and the Lady
Sneerwen of Beatrice Terry.
An atmosphere of luxury pervades
the entire representation. The CO.'S

is certainly as gorgeously colorful and

How to Burn Soft Coal

Open all drafts wide before light
ing fire. Use kindling in same man.
ner as for hard coal Put on a
small quantity of coal. Then light.
Keep putting on more coal in small
quantities until fire is well started.
Then close the bottom draft.
Open the air intake slides in fire
door. This allows the air to enter
and mix properly with the gasses
from the coal, causing the fire to
burn freely, with more heat, and
without smoke. Partially close the
chimney, or smoke-pipe, damper.
Never completely close the Chin
ney damper. Regulate it as expert
ence teaches you to what extent it
should be kept open to carry off
gases.
Keep fire-box half full. Uncover
a hot spot of bright fire when put
ting on additional fuel, to make
proper allowance for ignition of
gases as they are released from the
burning coal.
Slow fires during the day result
from leaving the crust or coke over
the top of the fire unbroken, ex-
cept in the hot spot.
Hotter fires as needed result from
breaking the crust, prying under
the fire to loosen the mass and
opening the bottom draft.
Banking the fire at night is ac-
complished by covering all of it,
except the bright spot, with more
fuel, closing the bottom draft, leav-
ing the chimney damper and the
fire door slide open.
Shaking fire violently, as with
hard coal, is seldom required. Keep
a bed of ashes on the CRATE to pro-
tect it from the concentrated heat
of the fire, which may otherwise
damage the bars.
Ash pit should be kept clear as
an aid in protecting the crate bars,
while allowing enough underdraft,
even with ash pit door tight.
Coal should not be piled against
the sides of the bin or other wood
work, nor allowed to come too close
to the cellar ceiling. 1t should not
be stored too near the heater.
Never wet soft coal. These precau-
tions are given to prevent spon-
taneous combustion.
