The Power Of The
 Power Trust

Senator Walsh of Montana is be- hind a resolution to investigate the power trust (that organization ill control, or near control of the water power of the country) and the trust has gathered the biggest and strong est lobby to fight it that Washing ton has ever seen. The power of the power trust, in money, is about $17, 0,O00,000 and it is in a healthy position to buy legislation pack commissions, destroy opposi- tion and take over the water falls of the United States and the terri tories.
 To give the ordinary person of the street the impression that it is a fair and honest layout, it declares itself in favor of being investigated so long as it is investigated by the Federal Trade Commission. This Trade Commission, by the way, IS packed 80 tightly with prO-power people that sardines ill a can have dancing room in comparison. And should the Trade Commission do the investigating some two years would elapse before it would get around to do any Investigating, so there you are. Recent indications are that the power trust has things pretty we'll in hand and will do just about as it pleases, but the whole group of progressive Republicans is , opposed and fighting hard for the Walsh resolution. The steam roll | CT progress of the trust lobby was halted by the one vote of Sen. CouZ- ems of Michigan, who lined up with the progressives. Senator Lenroot presented to the Senate a protest of the power trust against any sort of investigation and now Lenroot and his followers are under a kind of private investigation. This private investigation shows that those who signed a Lenroot petition agains; government investigation, number ing 274 attorneys CD, nearly 15U have been promised political jobs Ivarying from a Democratic city boss to treasurer of the Republican Ma tional Committee. Thirty others attorneys (?)-are big executives vice presidents, directors and man. Iagers of electric light and power companies. Nearly all kicked il heavily for Coolidge and Dawes, ter or more for Davis and Bryan, bu
 none at all for La Toilette. Tht power of the power trust is already
 felt here in Alaska, and not muct
 for Alaska's good. It is to be hoped
 that the water power of the natioi
 may be kept from being deeded ov re to the combine. Truly, we heav, Islave drivers a plenty as it is.

Cliff Buker's wife and children and his mother were incoming passengers on the Yukon (A.s.s.Co.) last Tues day. It looks as of Cliff was going to make his home in this region. The coming of his family adds material ly to the city's population. We hope that the newcomers find Alaska agreeable even though this section of it looked decidedly wintery when they arrived.

Mayor Swanson, Clerk Clausop and councilmen Dinner, Allen Sten- slid, Enge and Hanseth present. Gaufln absent.
 Past minutes read and approved.
 Allen, of Public Works and Public Property Committee reported OF matter of improvements adjoining city hall The idea seemed to be to let affairs stand as at present as the city wasn't financially able at this time to put up permanent buildings.
 Dinner, of the School Committee, reported that he and Enge had in vestigated as to amount of labor necessary on assembly hall at the School house to put same in con- dition for occupancy. Found that there were no radiators assembled. If using those radiators once includ ed in the hospital fixtures thought that the cost of installation woull be small As the intake and drains were in for the radiator system didn't think it would take long to assemble and be through with the job The only wiring called for was that for the drop lights of the room. Made a report that the teachers had complained against the unprotected light globes of the school It was the idea of the staff that if frosted globes were used the light effect would be superior to that now dis tributed by the clear globes. The committee reported, farther, that the janitor still complained of the heating plant and remarked that it didn't function properly.
 MacKecknie, City Electrician, re- ported at this time, that work was going on favorably with the tele- phone of the Blind Slough system. Most of the poles and insulators were in position.
 Hans Wick, Police Department, re- ported this time that there was lack of material for street repair work.
 Letter read by Clerk Clauson from CIV. Hawkesworth, Superintendent of s. E. Alaska Division of the U. S. Bureau of Education. This letter 8 reply to one that the Council had mailed the Bureau at Juneau. Dwelt largely on "lack of funds" Letter rather evasive. Not to the point. (Original letter had reference to Native school house).
 Auditing Committee at this time took up bills payable and approved and ordered paid an aggregate of $3771.36. This sum included the city payroll for January and Feb ruary and a balance due of the Westinghouse Electric and Mfg Go.
 At this time came up ordinance number S1-Light and power sche- dule (new)-for consideration. Con- siderable discussion.

The next time you visit the
sawdust arena Of a butchers
shop, or stand in front of the
marble counter OF your market
about to select your daily order
of meat, pass directly by the
chops and steaks for once and
go way down to the end Of the
counter and investigate what
you can buy in the way of
heart. When the meal is pre-
pared from your purchase, you
will be surprised at the pur-
chasing power still left in thirty
cents or so.
When you buy hearts, you
must know, of course, that
calves hearts are more tender
than mutton. Hearts must be
carefully washed and the veins,
arteries and clotted blood re-
moved. They are usually stuffed
and baked, with either a fish or
poultry stuffing. They may be
stuffed with vegetables and
cooked as pot roast il prepared.
Cold heart Is almost as delicious
as cold duck and is an excellent
cold cut, or it may be used in a
number of ways.
