 Washington - (UP)-The new year finds the resuscitated liquor industry embroiled in confusion, while the bootlegger plies his trade almost as usuSl, congress prepares to wrangle over whiskey taxes, and the administration worries about important quotas.
 Prices are high, but are expected to drop as soon as the holidays are over Quality of the newly legal potables is none too good and generally is little better than the best of the bootleg liquor which slaked illegal thirsts for 13 years.
 nti-prohibitionists nonetheless are happy over the adoption of the, 21st amendment to the con- stitution. A record-breaking. vote by 36 states ended prohibition in the United States upon Dec. D.

of supplying additional funds to
 tide the charitable work of the territorial government over. until the present industrial depression is over.
 A matter not discussed at the
 Chamber meeting was touched upon by the delegate. Thus was in re- gards to the bill now before con- gress suspending the annual ass- essment work on mining claims for the year beginning July 1st. I19S2 and ending July 1st, 1888. He said that personally he was opposed to the measure as he be- lieved the work should be perform | ed. However he would wish to
 have an expression of opinion from the people of this division on the
 subject, and asked as he did on other matters, that they write him and give their views as it was a matter of importance.
 MT. Dimond stressed his views as to the welfare of the Indian and Eskimo peoples of Alaska. This angle of his address was probably
 suggested by his meeting with the
 native people at their club rooms here. He said he was deeply in
 terested in their economic and soc ial welfare and promised to do all in his power to obtain better all
 otments for medical, educational
 hospital and other humane purpos- es.
 MT. Dimond is a fluent and able speaker. He employs no useless yer biage but cuts right into the heart
 of his subject He leaves no mis- understanding as to where he stands on any subject with which he is acquainted. He received rapt attention from his audience and at the conclusion of his address. was greeted with spontaneous bursts l |of applause.
 Judging by the number of peo- pie who pushed forward to shake
 hands with him as he stepped down from the platform, it is safe to say his initial appearance made hit with the people of Nome.

 ranks. working for the welfare and prosperity of the Territory Because of his lovalble character he will make many friends there; his personality wins cooperation, and I prophecy that his record as dele gate will be an enviaIble one. We are proud of our delegate and we know he is proud of Alaska.
 Friends. it is with great pleas ure that 1 introduce to you MT. Anthony J. Dtmond our Delegate elect to Congress-
 Delegate-elect Dimond in his introductory /femarks said he was glad of the heopportunity of address ing the people of this section, and that owing to having been delayed week on his schedule by snow storms, his plans fo visit other outlying sections asN far north as Kotzebue, would necessarily have to be cancelled in order that he reach southeastern Alaska and be in time for inauguration at Wash ington, D. C., March 4th.e He said he wished 1t understood that what he had to say was meant to mean not only for the people of Nome but all of the Second Division.
 MT. Ddmond stated he had attend ed public meeting held at the ! U. s. Court House that afternoon, under the auspices of the local Chamber of Commerce and had bs- come much enlightened as to the needs of this section of Alaska, which had@been presented by it's members in a most intelligent and constructive manner He went ov- CT the various subjects presented 70 him for consideration. speaking on the fishing industry and it's pos abilities in Boring Sea, road. trails and shelter cabins and also airplane landing fields and the airplane service and mail delivery. He touched on the harbor, the schools, the consolidation of the second and fourth divisions which he said was unthinkable to anyone knowing Alaskan conditions, due to the large area covered and the miles which would necessarily have to be travelled in order to get justice. -
 .Nr1 simonh also touched bhal .ly on the reindeer industry, say ing that he knew so little about it, that 1t would be necessary for him to study the matter before talking intelligently about the sub ject.
 He spoke of the Federal high way act, the matter of granting con- sessions and other matters, but in summing up he told his hearers that he would honestly and con scientiously work and do everything in his power to obtain the much needed legislation we are seeking.
 Replying to the suggestion made by Judge Gore that five per cent more be deducted from the Alaska fund and added to the indigent fund, he heartily endorsed the idea saying he himself would be in favor of a ten percent deduc- tion for that purpose. While l realize" he said. that this money would come from the road fund. much as I value the need of roads. personally. starving men and women come ahead of road budlding." This remark elicited much applause. He also said that while it was outside of his pro- vince that the next legislature would be confronted with the task

 Station Shows Considerable Difference

New Haven, May 29.-Two hard. or sugar. naples of the same size and age growing side by side at the Connecticut Agricultural Experi- ment Station, have come into leaf with considerable difference be- cause one has been fertilized and the other has not.

 The fertilizer application was made at a cost of 6 cents annually for five years. This spring it was omitted. but the effect was carried over. The material was concen- trated inorganic preparation con-
