YUKON* POLITICS ARK WARMING VP
I TlklfS A- k
The Canadian election will take place within the uext sixty days, the
exact date not being yet decided upon. In former elections Yukon has not
voted on the same date as the remainder of the Dominion, but would hold
a bye election later—and in most instances, would elect a member who
was in sympathy with the dominant party. This time, however, the elec
tion will be held In Yukon on the same date as elsewhere in the Dominion
and no candidate can claim support on the grounds that he is in sympathy
v.ith the dominant party for the reason that the result of the election will
decide which is the dominant party.
Contrary to the rule of several years ago iu Canada when lawyers und
other professional men constituted the great majority of the House of Com
mons, business men and farmers have for the past few years been in the
majority and so well and faithfully have they discharged their duties that
there Is but little doubt that the next parliament will be composed of tha
same strrdy and reliable classes. , % i £^fj
Robert Lowe, who for the pa-'. 22 years has been a resident of White
horse. but who is just as well known and popular all over the territory, he
having represented Southern Yukon in five different Yukon Councils, will
be a candidate for the Yukon seat in the Dominion Parliament which, if
merit and loyalty to the territory is recognized, will be his without ques
tion. While Mr. Lowe has always been affiliated with the Liberal party,
he Is first a Yukoner and has never permitted party fealty to interfere with
his loyalty to his Yukon friends regardless of their politics.
It is reported that rrederick Tennyson Congdon. once governor of Yu
kon and later elected to Parliament from there, will come from Eastern
Canada, where he has made his home for the past several years, for the
purpose of contesting the seat with "Bob" Lowe, but such action on the
part of Congdon will be resented on the grounds that he is both a lawyor
and a carpet-bagger.—Stroller's Weekly.
STAY IN ALASKA
That conditions are better in Alaska than in the States and that the
outlook is brighter here than there are declarations made by Dr. Brooks
that should cause people who live in the North to be glad that they are
here. Dr. Brooks is a closer observer, and he looks with train<>d eye be
fore ho speaks.
One of the things that would help Alaska more than anything else in
the world this winter would be tor all the people of the Norih to remain
here. Let those of them who are out of work busy themselves at the best
thing they can find, but get to work. Bv doing that they will save them
selves the cost of traveling and. perhaps, very bitter disappointment. They
will, also, do a great deal toward improving the situation here and hasten
ing the day when things will be going at full speed.—Juneau Empire.
STAY" WITH 1HK PAY
The true meaning of a mine is often misconstrued, for the slmpie rea
son that most people will say they have a ininp when they really have a
prospect. The difference between a mine and a prospect is determined by
the amount of work done on the ledge or vein proper. One could spend a
million dollars on the ground and still not know the true value of t;te vein
or ledge. Running long tunnels does not necessarily go to make paying
mines. It is the knack of staying with the pay that counts. When you
find a ledge bearing in places gold it is not always a sure sign that it will
make a mine. Some folks go out and lind a stringer carrying gold high in
value but it may not be the making of a paying mine. The kind of veins
that make a paying and lasting proposition are ledges of ribbon, which are
in the class where you may be sure in depth they will make a paying prop
osition. At the head of Silvet Bay you can see some of the ribbon ore
veins and true leads.
The Government Geological Party never did give a full and detailed
description of our mining property around Sitka. A summary was publish
ed. but an endless report, on other parts of Alaska can readily be seen.—

HOME BREWING ON INCREASE,
SURVEY OF APPLICATIONS SHOW
Washington, D. C., Oct 1.—Thut
home-browing and wine-making, os
tensibly (or home consumption, are
on the Increase, especially in rural
districts, was revealed In an exam
ination of stacks of letters in the
prohibition unit of the Treasury de
partment.
In the face of this fact Davis H.
Blair. Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, remarked recently: "The
people are giving better support to
the enforcement law."
"Public sentiment, and public sen
timent alone, will control the pro
hibition situation in the United
States." he declared, adding, "I
think sentiment for more strict law
observance with respect to the Vol
stead act is growing. Concerning
the activity of enforcement branch
es it must be remembered that phy
sical force alone never can bring
absolute obediance to the dry laws."
Under a treasury opinion rendered
almost a year ago prohibition direc
tors were authorized to issue per
mits to persons to make wines of
fruit juices for personal use, not
exceeding 200 gallons a year. This
ruling has not been changed and
will not be amended, officials said.
There was much surprise, how
ever, in the ruling that the direc
tors were authorized to issue per
mits, the official opinion being that
the tidings just have begun to be
realized.
This opinion is altered by the fact
that this Is the reason for the gar
nering of fruit crops. Pile to the
economic situation many farmers
have no market for their fruit, and
as in many sections the yield has
been exceedingly great, there is a
disposition to utilize the surplus.
Officials explained that the ruling
permitting persons to make 200 gal
lons of non-alcoholic beverages, if
they have permits, was intended pri
marily for large fruit growers hav
ing orchards or vineyards, and to
enable them to convert fruit into
wine for home consumption- without
danger of interference from dry
agents.
An even larger quantity than 200
gallons of non-alcoholic beverages
may be made of fruit juices for per
sonal consumption of the owner's
family or guests, if he will file no
tire of his fntention and give a nom
inal bond.
Reports that the prohibition chiefs
might issue an order ending the
ruling now in effect, if not entirely
nullifying it. were denied officially
It was explained that home wine
making situation had been survey
ed. but that it had been decided not
to Interfere at this time.
"We will apply the rule of com
mon sense." said an official high in
the Revenue Bureau.
"There will be no intrusion into
private homes, looking for trouble,
unless that man's home is being us
ed as a place for ths manufacture of
alcoholic beverages for sale. When
il is found that a home is being us
ed for commercial uses in liquor
manufacture we have grounds to
act. But the policy will he to go
slowly in the matter of entering pri
vate homes: in any event, we shall
proceed only when the evidence that
the law is being violated Is clear."
It is also said that the new ap
peals for home distilling permits are
the result of reports that the Pro
hibition Commissioner hud issued a
new order, supple'.ier.tlnr: the rre
vious ruling.
