l lightful people," We Alaskans who are not of the "intelligencia" like that provision. We believe it is good American doctrine. But you do not like it, MT. Free. You tried
 to keep it out of the law. But Dele gate Sutherland and Congress that believes in fair play put it in. We know you are still sore about that provision because in your manifesto printed in the Seward Gateway you lament that it was not entirely law ful'' to give the fisheries department the absolute power to say how many canneries should operate in Alaskan waters.
 Is it possible that you don't like the sound of Delegate Sutherland's voice" because he spoke up in Con- gress and put human rights into the White Law and kept monopoly out?
 We like Sutherland's voice." and, while it may net be the voice of Jacob, neither is his hand the hand of Esau.
 If Sutherland would stop speaking right out loud in behalf of the fish, ermen, the small canneries, the pros pectors, the working people, as we'll as for all bona fide Alaskan indus tries and enterprises, would you con- sider his an intelligent voice?" If he would keep still and let a few big packing companies (e. g., the Al aska Packers, those opponents and exemplars of conservation, and the Pacific American Fisheries, on whose boat you are riding around could get monopoly of the Alaskan fisheries, would you then consider that the intelligent and delightful people" of Alaska (also of Seattle and San Francisco) had a voice" speaking for them at Washington?
 How would you like for us Alas kans to shut our unintelligent mouths and let the fish trust speak for us at Washington? Would that voice" suit you better?
 We imagine that would suit you. And we suspect that the reason you are up here peddling bum propagan- da is because Delegate Sutherland would not turn the whole show over to the fish lobby, and keep still while they footed the Territory; because he helped to perpetuate the right of ordinary Alaskans to do a little fish, ing now and then. Of course we are not able to understand these mat ters like you intelligent people-but this is the way it looks to us.
 Before we close: we find some comfort in our dark, benighted, men,

you going to divide these 1869 whit' voters into the intelligent" and "un
 intelligent?"
 In the face of these figures, whicl are true ones, why are you around peddling the tommy-rot that 1S0( natives are dictating Alaska politics Just what do you mean by saying that the intelligent people have nc voice speaking for them at Wash ington.
 Do you consider any of the 4,96e white people who voted for Delegate Sutherland intelligent"
 Isn't it not fact that if these 4, 969 white people (also the 1900 na tives) had voted against Dan Suth. erland, you would consider them un- usually intelligent and delightful people?"
 Now why is it that you make vot- ing against Dan Sutherland the test of intelligence" among Alaska vot- CTS? Why are you interested in prej- udicing Alaskans against their Dele gate in Congress? Just why are you up here junketing around and peddl- ing bum propaganda trying to in- fluence out next election ?What griev ance have you against Dan Suther- land and his friends that enlarges your gall and infates your egotism to the point where you think we will dance to your music?
 We think we know; and while we probably can't enlighten you on this point, we likely can enlighten some of Alaska's "illiterate" folks like ourselves. We notice in your nu- merous interviews that you take great personal credit for the passage of the White Fisheries Law; you al most admit that this law is the child of your brain. Is it possible that you think we have a poor voice" at Washington because Delegate Sutherland spoke right out during the hearings and consideration of that bill until it was amended and passed so that it is now impossible for few big outside canning con- cerns to grab monopoly on Alaska's fisheries?
 In our ignorant, illiterate way we understand that Delegate Sutherland put that provision in the White Law which says that mo exclusive or several right of fishery shall be granted therein, nor shall any citi- zen of the United States be denied the right to take, cure, or preserve fish or shellfish, etc." That provision means that any of us can fish with the best of you intelligent and de-

tal condition from the fact that in your inspired" revelation you admit that we are not alone in our intel lectual depravity.. We thank you! Misery loves company; and, accord Ing to your idea we certainly have plenty of it. We see you have dis covered that the Alaska Railroad also is the bunk" and that the In- terior Department which built and operates it is almost as ignorant as we are. It is also comforting to know that the Territorial government" of Alaska IS about as rotten and de- graded as us illiterates. It is also evident that the Department of Az rlculture is not up to snuff, for we notice that you admit they ought to let you reorganize the system of granting timber permits And so on, world without end!
 The fact is, We don't lik3 free" advice. It comes too cheap. It is too transparent
 Don't you know that you are hurt ing the important work of consery- ing Alaska's fisheries by posing as a representative of the Fisheries de-

 Haven't you any political troubles at home, MT. Free? Do you have any trouble preventing "illiterates" from voting for you down around San Jose? Or are your supporters all intelligent and delightful people" And what about political ethicso What about one Member of Congress going into another mans district and knocking? Do you think this smells good-especially when the man you are knocking has just finished block ing you from doing something that you now admit was not "entirely lawful?

BOOTLECGERS OF BOTH
BEEF AND BOOZE TOO
COMMON In COCONINO

Eve were better off in many ways
before Volstead struck u.s." was the
doleful comment of Alfred Skeels Of
Williams, a business visitor here to-
day. Mr.. Skeels holds the distinction
of being the chairman of the board of
supervisors of Coconino, the largest
county in the United States.
"We used to have the second largest
but they sliced down San Bernardino
county, Calf, leaving US the largest
in actual square miles, and there's
some statistics up our way that will
prove it," he said.
Mr. Skeels is what might be called
a double-dyed pioneer. He was among
the earliest settlers of Colorado in the
days Of the gold rush, and was per-
sonally acquainted with such well
known men as John @. A. Rollins, orr
iginator of the Moffat road idea, and
w. A. Tabor Of Leadville fame.
But Colorado got too crowded for
him and he came to Arizona, where
in the largest county he has room to
breathe and turn around. And though
this makes his second round of pio-
neering Mr. Skeels is still a young
man as far as his appearance and
aspirations go.
Skeels loves everything in Arizona
except the bootlegger, and the 18th
amendment that created him, he says.
Bootlegging has come to be so com
mon, he declared, that is has resulted
in widespread contempt for all law,
and as result bootlegging in lines
other than liquor is springing up on
all sides.
Zone of the principal kinds of boot
leggers we have in our county," he
said, "is the cattle bootlegger, the fell
low who kills beef that doesn't belong
to him and sells it to the dealer who
is in with him. We are having a ter
rible time with the cattle bootleggers,
and | cannot help but consider him as
a product of conditions brought about
by the Volstead act. Phoenix Ga

FIND MUCH new WATER AT.
THE CITY SPRINGS; STORMS
DELAY LAYING NEW PIPE.

Lee Alsup, who is driving a 200
foot water development tunnel into
the side of the mountain just below
the city springs cabin, and who now
has about a hundred feet of it COM
pleted, struck vein Of water the last
of last week that measured about
eight inches in diameter and poured
IN so fast it made lively work for a
time getting it blocked before it had
washed the dickens out of his work.
1t is uncertain how long large a
reservoir the stream taps. The engi-
neers believe it may be large, but that
in few hours the flow from it would
decrease to much less. At any rate it
is felt that it will contribute a fairly
good steady stream when it is again
untapped following the completion of
the new@pipe line. In additionSto this
new stream, several small ones have
been struck that when finally re-
leased into the new line will add about
hundred thousand gallons a day to
our normal flow.
Alsup is having hard time of it
building this tunnel Much of the
soil is form of quicksand that makes
all the trouble that quicksand always
does; then hardens into something like
concrete only to make all the bother
that a large lot of superfluous con-
crete would. This calls for a great
amount of extra work and various de-
fense operations that were not con-
templated when the tunnel work be-
gan.
Cook & O'Brien, building the road
up to the springs and digging the
ditch along it in which Harry Tell
yer lays the new concrete pipe, esti-
mated a few days ago that they would
have the ditch finished October 10 and
the pipe laying four or five days later.
But the rains last week made the road
up there too slippery to work on and
so the work was delayed for several
days. Both the contractors and the
town will be fortunate if the fall
SHOWS hold off long enough to get the
work finished this fall. Right now it
is a race between the contractors and
the weather man, with the odds on the
weather man. The contract calls for
completion of the work by October l..

PIPE BROKE, NO WATER
IN FLAGSTAFF YESTERDAY Y

Flagstaff high and grade schools
had vacation yesterday due to break
ing of the old pipe line up the noun
tain and consequently no water here
in town. This old line is in the mid
idle of the new road over which truck
ing of newspipe is now being done and
the break resulted from this. Other
breaks from the same cause just
previously resulted in the smaller
reservoir, which had about half-mil-
lion gallons accumulated, going dry.
There now is no reserve supply in the
reservoirs and for time at least we
shall have to depend entirely upon
the pipeline.
In the meantime, City park lake is
full, so we have 100000 gallons
ready for fire or other emergency.
