"i he newspapers of Alaska ar
the ideal means of reaching Lh<
public in Alaska," stated Mrs
Klla Alexander Boole, New Yorl
cluL woman, at Juneau the othe:
Jay.
The statemt ut was made during i
J scussioa relative to securing thi
seriic-es of a Rian lee.ure- to rrave
iloi.ii the tiWsi of Alaska in th<
in erests of prohibition. s«»era
of tiie delegates were in favo<r o
string the lecturer and durluj
the discussion .Mrs. Boole a>kei
le ve to address the convention
"I have aiaJe a trip along tin
eons* of Alaska, and 1 find that th<
n'.-.vspapera of this section are thi
only means of reaching the people,
she said. "Recently 1 visited Cor
dova and although I was there <
weefc 1 did not reach 50 people bj
personal contact. People in A1
•iska do not tu:n ou* to hear a lec
tirrtr unites personally interestei
ia tne subject under distusj-ion. J
lxturer might tome here and al
th< sg inte.rev'td in our causi
would turn out but those agains'
us, or indifferent, would not, an<
effoits would l-e wasted.
If you navj someia-ug to sa;
to tbe public, use th} newspapers
Iu >.ew York v. <• don't buy a !
oViefc edition at noon, nor do w<
buy the noon editions at 5 o'clock
They are old. Uut in Alaska tin
papers are re-ul by everyone, &n<
sometimes are saved, for ays an<
d:iys just for some certain article
In uany c.ises where one famil;
t.ikeg a paper, after tue edition:
have been read they are passed 01
'o other families and sometimes a
many as five famliies, read thi
s iffie paper.
'lliis is esipe'-ially tiue in thi
miii rig camps, and while a papei
may be only printing a certain nun
ber c£ copies, about ren times ai
many people see and rad the paper
as iiiere are subscribers.
"Among another thing in con
necti'-n with the papers, the Al
a>kan people tlcn't jus» glance a
the rjadllnes <-nd throw th^ paper
a-.vay. They read every word ii
them. from editorials to advertisinj
and !f you a.a thinkifg of spend
lrig motley for a lecturer, don't d<
it. Spend the same amount fo;
spa?e in your Alaskan papers am
you will accomplish many times th.
soi^e amount of good with; thi
*ame amount cf money."

The system employed by Audito:

LABOR
The unrestfuj spirit whiuh, is
moving ja,bar all over the United

make an impressioa on 'he people.
Investigations ant being made by
federal authorities. Kvery one
is unanimous in tha belief that
labor should have am equal rig..t
to make a fair #age and be guaraii,
Ue-J a deeea' living. The time
when man works from suariea to

out of himself has long passed. La

element in the progress of inau

pedestal of the nations' accomplish

which labor bow finda Itself must
give way to & safer and saner con

Blankets sold as "half wool" have fre
quentjy been found to contain wnly 10
per cent of pure wool. There are uia
chines today whiuh cleverly wrap
wool around eotton threads, and the
finished prodiwt has every appearance
of being ~all wool." Another method
of adulterating la by taking cotton

At lie present time a little coal
is beio< purchased by the Alaskan
Engineering comniUsicn from Lii-k
Doheity. He is vtorking on< wliut i
might be called the edge of the
ccai fields, Mr. Edes reports. The
firs* coal hauled over the railroad
was taken from the.'e tc Anchorage
recently.
In the near future, or before ti:e
end of the season, th<j railroad
will be into the heart of the coal
fields.
Askec how the work would pio
grc; s this year from Mat an us .> a
Junction, toward Fairbanks, Mr.
Edes replied that it was probable
that steel would be laid for a dis
tance of fifteen miles from t..e
point wflere the road cuts off to
the coal fields .
Continuing, owanl uroua rus^,

Regarding liis trip over the trail,
Mr. Kdes sjpoike only in words of
praise for the driver, Grover C.
Frame, s'ating that he was one of
ti>c bt-si drivers lie h-ad ever steii
anywlip.e. He Also spoke well of
the trail, saying 'hat the road ocm
nJiS"5ion had done well to have as
good a trail as it was, consider
'nc tliut it has never gotten any
largo amount of money in any one
year to do the work . He al.o
.slid that he agvec-d with' Col Rich
ardson in the belief that the on!y
way he could ever J>uild a fi^t
class boulevard would be to get a
large appropriation iu one year. —
