there is no hope of getting rid of the bureau in the near future. Under the circumstances I pro- pose to cooperate with them.
 Those bureaus are not to blame, they are composed of as good men and women as ever set foot on Alaska soil They are doing their level best under the laws enacted for their guidance

 is chance to have some of the restrictions placed upon business relaxed so as to make the coun- try more inviting to capital. No thing whatever of good is accom- plished by constantly barking at the bureaus and at capital Such attitude was never designed to accomplish anything but to fool some of those people who are never at peace with themselves except when they are somebody's dupes.
 ' For several years there has been talk of getting the pulp and paper industry started Up to the present there has been only talk But that has been enough to make my opponents commence co snarl and show their teeth at possible investors.
 Tn the November issue of the Alaska Fisherman, William Paul has . front page editorial attack ing the Bureau of Forestry as once more showing that it is a creature of the pulp mills
 Similar attacks have been made upon the Water Power Commis- sion by members of Congress. Tie result of these attacks have always been the same to make the bureaus and Congress in crease the restrictions upon the development of the natural rel sources. If people are going to endorse those attacks by voting these people into public offices the bureaus and Congress must necessarily assume we want the investors barred by still more odi- ous restrictions.
 Now or Never
 Unless the Territory gets the pulp and paper industry started now we never will get it started. There never will be any tariff protection on pulp and paper bel cause all the newspapers want cheap paper Siberia has vast spruce forests, it has great water powers and an abundance of cheap labor. We cannot compete with that. Unless we get started first and get well under way, Si- eria will monopolize the field. Tn 1913 three representatives of the greatest pulp and paper man ufacturers in the world spent six weeks in Southeastern Alaska, looking over the possibilities for that industry They liked the country, but could get no conces- sions from the government. The next year those men were in Rus sia seeking concessions in Siberia when the war broke out. If it had not been for the collapse of the Russian Government these men would now have been in Si- beria making pulp and paper for the American market.
 Source of Prosperity
 Do you realize what it means ito get that industry started here? It means prosperous cities, and logging camps everywhere, with employment 12 months each year for all who want to work.
 But you cannot get that by encouraging and endorsing men who thrive on villifying and ob- structing business in order to get votes or a hand-out These peo- pie will not stop their agitation <

In olden days, when Made's
Hotel and the Metropolitan were
favorite gathering places for the
elite Of the city, Colonel Harper
established his pharmacy in the
old Metropolitan.
Statesmen. who had dined none
too wisely on the champagne sup
per Of the era, often dropped into
the store Of the youthful druggist
for first aid to terrific hangoverS.
The colonel entered the finan-
cial field here in 1908 when he or
ganized the American National
Bank. In 1909, he became presi-
dent Of the District National and
maintained that position until
his retirement.
Born in Virginia, Colonel
Harper always claims he is a
Washingtonian and, to a degree,
he is, for he has lived here for
more than so years.

MERCER PLANS
HELD Up

NEW YORK, Dec. "a. The
conference between executives of
the Eastern railroads held today
was adjourned without reaching
any definite decision regarding
the establishment of four major
trunk-line systems In the East,
it Is announced. It also was
stated that the meetings would
probably be resumed within the
next fortnight.
Among those attending the
conference were O. P. and M. j.
Van Sweringen, of the Nickel
Plate system: Patrick Crowley
and A. H. Harris, Of the New
York Central; w. w. Atterbury
and Elisha Lee, Of the Pennsyl.
vania, and Daniel Willard and
George M. Shriver, Of the Balti-
more and Ohio.
It was reported that some
progress had been made.
Several proposals were dis
cussed, but they all hinged on
the final disposition Of the
Wabash and the Lehigh Valley
by the Pennsylvania. The Penn
sylvania, it is understood, is will
ing to relinquish control Of both
Of those roads If it could make
satisfactory trackage arrange
ments with the Nickel Plate.
Thus far, efforts have been
blocked by the Pennsylvania, &C.
cording to the other systems.
1t is understood, however, that
the latter road is taking a more
friendly attitude towards the
discussions.

of Maryland. That twelve of the
twenty-four counties in the State
had adopted it. He was listened
to attentively. Rev. T. F. Plum
mer, recommended that DR.. Boole,
of Asbury Park, N. j., should be
brought into the State to lecture
on the subject, his lecture being
considered the grandest effort in
the cause of temperance. A COL
lection was raised for tnis purpose,
and in a few moments $85 was
raised, and delegates from several
towns asked for him to lecture in

asked for DR.. Boole was Smyrna,

Church Lyceum.- Among the
new features on which the late
General Conference took action
was the item Church Lyceums,
embracing in its scope the intellec-
tual, aesthetic and social culture
of the young of the congregation
of both s.sexes. The Educational
Committee of the M. E. Church of
this town in their report at the
Quarterly Conference last week
recommended the formation of
such society here. 1t is contem-
plated by the Sunday School to
purchase a new Library to take
the place of the one DESTROYED by
fire just before the enlargement of
the church, and the interest of the
School and Lyceum may thus be
united in effecting and selecting a
new library. Such a movement
cannot be otherwise than vastly
beneficial to the young of the con-
gregation if effected, which we
hope will be for the good of the
numerous young men ard women
who need some such mental stimu-
lus.
