sion said: q am going to oppose with my vote any change in the fig ure adopted by us here." Imme- diately every members of the Com mittee, with the exception of Harry c. Watson, of Fairbanks, declared as follows: "I am with you. I will not stand for guy change" Both William H. SherH an, of Anchorage, and Ben Grier stated substantially as follows: "I do not care what the people of the Third Division think or say, I am against the Seward hatchery and the Cordova hatchery. As long as the hatcheries are an experiment, one hatchery is enough" MT. Grier and MT. Sher- man both found their resolution shaking within an hour after Boss Murray, of Mccarthy, had demandel what they meant by such stanl, and these two men voted for an in crease in this appropriation from fifteen thousand dollars to over eighty thousand dollars. One mem Der of the House, upon hearing that Mr. Grier had switched, declarei: Are there no honest men in the Legislature Under what circum- stances must man give his word before it will be kept?"
 Regarding the aristocrat, Mr. Will cox, we tell this incident: It was in connection with the fight for the passage of a bill taxing nonresident fishermen After hard fight on the floor he came off his seat as Speak CT and walked down to the desk of Mr. Paul and, in the hearing of sev- eral persons, said: '1 do not want you to think that I am opposed to your bill. 1 am glad the amend ments were made and corrected the defects. l want to say to you here that 1 will vote for the bill" When the time came for voting MT. W,l- COX voted against the bill, and so 1t was lost by the vote of eight to eight. When we talk about men elected by the "common" people, we mean exactly what we say, anal here assert that both the Hon. Ben A. Grier, of Anchorage, and the aristocrat, Charles H. Wilcox, votel against the Common" people upon every occasion.

ALASKAN NOTES"
From The Washington Newspaper,
 June issue.

Arnold F. George, Dawson news paper from 1898 until 1908, dropped dead recently at Medicine Hat, AL berta, after stepping out of car. During his ten years in Dawson he was editor of The Dawson Nugget and later of The Dawson News"

PEOPLE" !"

was elected by the common people, 'common,' refers to the people of his own stamp, for he acclaimed at length his love and utilization with the Common people. If MT. Paul is one of the Common people, and we believe he is, for he fits the defini- tion of the word: not excellent in tone or quality; commonplace; hack neyed; coarse; vulgar; low;' then Mr Grier was not elected by the com mon people, for we have none of that type in the Third Division.
 "Mr. Grier was a credit to his constituents, a hard worker for those measures which were for the best interests of the Territory, and he could have no better boost than a knock by MT. Paul and his friend, Priscilla"
 There are other meanings to that word Common" besides that which has been given to it by Charles H, Wilcox, the aristocratic editor of the Valdez Miner. For instance, we speak of Common sense." We also speak of Common justice," and yet MT. Wilcox will not say that the term Common justice" signifies something that is coarse, vulgar or low. We are using the English lan- guage as it is spoken or under stood by the common people as dis tinguished from the suited aristo- crats or snobs in whose company MT. Wilcox is so happy to find him self. We are not surprised that the said Wilcox comes to the defense of Hon. Ben Grier, of Anchorage, for in a sense the men are of the same type. We will illustrate by telling of two instances that occurred during the last session of the Legis- lature.
 The Committee on Ways and Means had considered thoroughly the ques- tion of fish hatcheries, and had lis tened to those who spoke for it and those who were opposed to it. After MT. Heckman had appeared and stated on the floor of the House that he could run the Ketchikan hatchery for fifteen thousand dollars, and after he had admitted, in an- swer to a direct question by the Hon. William D. Grant, of Wran- gell, that he had said "I would not give eleven dollars for all the red salmon hatcheries in Alaska" the committee then decided that fifteen thousand dollars for hatcheries was sufficient, and that the operations of Cordova and Seward were a pure waste of money. Then it was that Mr. Sundquist of the Second Divi-

preciate the McCready Memorial hos
pital at Crisfield in Somerst county
For situation it is hard to surpass
with it's beautiful lawn and shrub
berry and almost surrounded by water
:, nice quiet place where the sick folk
can look out on natures green instead
of the noise and humdrum of the city
where mostly you can only see build
ings.
This institution is well equipped
and all modern appliances are used
It's staff of doctors and nurses are
hard to equal.
Having been there and knowing
the courtesy of these people we think
cur people should know that right at
home and almost at our own door we
have such an institution. We be-
speak for this hospital the support of
our people. This hospital was erected
and donated to our people and now it
is up to them to make it a success.
