Condemnation the privately owned

tie issue Is clear in favor Of public
ownership.
Many cities are lowering their
taxes through the earnings Of their
utilities and some ars now getting to
the point Of no general tax levy e
al, paying their expenses entirely out
Of the earnings Of their utilities.
That is the goal Of every advocate
Of public ownership. Why have abb
seftae landlordisn, rs It were absens
tee ownership and an excess Of costs

ever Increasing ratio
The power to make rates Is only
. fafmed-out power to tax.
Rates viii, in the hands Of any priv
ately owned utility Be as high as they
can get awayswith, not sometimes. but
always.
The rates are always such as to
strike hardest st the pocket book OF
the small home owner and small bus
mess man and the poor.
There Is on use to blink the fact
of the strenuous efforts to get the
sWynooche water power rights away
from the city, especially power; and
none need 10 be 50 foolish as to ex-
pect the company in the field not to
make every effort to preserve their
advantage and earning power.
That Is natural and to be expected.
I No great advance ever win or can be
made in tax reductions, It we do not
do all we can at all times to take over
or enter as rapidly as possible the
field Of public ownership IS the most
sensible and direct means to lower
taxes. and leave more cash IN tie
hands Of tie average man oE woman
for use in elevating their standard OF
living.
In case Of election I shall use ev-
cry honorable means at my command
to advance the idea Of economy and
put the best possible men or women
in charge Of the work to be done.
Issues and principles. and not just
any old promise to every one to get

Alone in the wilderness and reduced by scurvy ot a condit- ion which rendered him help less, Charles Coach, awaited patiently the coming of help which never appeared, and when hope of rescue was final ly abandoned, used a pistol to relieve himself of further suf- fering. In a note left by the timer, written probably a short time before he com mitted suicide, Coach said he was dying of scurvy and that if assistance did not arrive within a short time he would take his own life. The note also contained instructions for the disposal of his belongings, including a valuable cache of furs.

Frank Dufresne, game ward .en for. the Nome district re- ports that the natives of the White mountain section have found new way to "fox" a fox. The hunter, instead of the slow method of setting a trap and waiting for the sly animal to step into it, now steps out and chases the beast and gets better results. The new method requires the hunt CT to be good on his skis and once this is. accomplished he can start out any time. With skis on his feet, the hunter , sights a fox and the quarry starts for the nearest hilltop at once, keeping a half mile or more ahead of his pursuer, who takes it easy on the climb. Once the hunter gets to the top of the hill it is no trick at all to coast down the hill after his game and over take the astonished animal as if on the wings of the wind. One thing that makes this method of. hunting the fox easy, according to MT. Du- fresne, is that the fox is scared at seeing a man travel at such a rate of speed that he some times covers and stops in his tracks. One native of White Mountain by the name of Reuben took 63 white foxes in this way during the past season.

 Forced to seek safety on a pile of driftwood on an island in the Yukon river when the ice started to go out last spring, a blind native woman, Belle Elwell, and her little daughter 13 years old, were unable to escape from the is- land after the breakup. They stayed there for 46 days, liv- ing on sprouts and roots which they were able to find on the. 1 island. Boats passed occasion ally but so far from the island that they could not see the plight of the blind woman and her daughter. Finally the mother died, leaving the child to struggle on. Aid finally came on June 22, when a party of Indians landed on the island and carried the girl to the mission hospital at Fort Yukon.
 Joe Walsh and Howard Col ley, two we'll known men of Keno Hill, recently had mar row escape from an angry bear with three .cubss The two men came unexpectedly upon the bear and her little ones; and the cubs, instead of running away from the men ran towards them. The mother evidently fearing for her young, charged. The men were without weapons and there was nothing for them to. do but climb a tree. Colley reach safety up a spruce and Walsh climbed another tree, which [ had been burned and was rot ten and fell under his weight, throwing him to the ground. He scrambled up with the bear close at his heels and made a desperate rush for the tree where Colley was. He sninned up with the agility of a squirrel, with the bear af- ter him. Walsh's first leap gave him @ few feet start but the bear was right at his heels, having four feet to work with she made better headway up the tree. Forum ately she could not do much but scratch his legs with her claws, while Walsh in return, kicked the "beast" in the face with his spiked shoes, giving her about all she wanted. Aft CT a bit she slid back to the ground and sat there for all hour and half, with hel cubs playing around hel, while Colley from the top ot the tree and Walsh from as near the top as he could get, I talked to her the incest poss- ible way. They told her how nice her babies were and how young and graceful she looked herself. She did not pay any attention to these sugary com. pliments at first, but finally was won over and departed with her family.
