FROM HOOVER
Juneau, Alaska, Deo. 17, 1917,
F. J. Vandewall i
Skagway. Alaska.
Dear Sir: The following tele
gram, received yesterday from Her
bert Hoover, U. S. Food Adminis
trate r, Is sent you that same may be
Kivco the widest publicity In youi
section. The statement was re
leased by Mr. Hoover to the press
, In Wellington, D. C., December 16:
"Anything I have to say to Mr.
Spreckles statements will be said
In duo time to the Committee. It
xou*v requires no proof from me to
establish that Mr. Spreckles, a
leading 6Ugar refiner, Is sore at the
food administration and would like
to see It destroyed. I realize that
Mr. Spreckles' balance sheet will no!
look ass good next year as last,
for refiners profltlngs have been
regulated. Furthermore, his bal
ance sheet would have looked bet
ter {bis year if the price of last
Augus-t had not been reduced and
held fast la the face of a partial
shortage that promised a fair op
portunity for thirty cent sugar and
much Increased profits. Mr. Spreck
les therefore has reason to feel
badly, j There are other citizens
who feel the same w>ay and no
doubt can entertain the public by
assaulting the food administration.
Wh'le many may feel badly etlll the
vast majority of meai and women of
our business community and of our
farmerss are sacrificing the fali^
profito daily to the nation's neces
sities without complaint, for tnany
ar# sacrificing more than their mon
ey, their sons. We have had two
mouthss of partial sugar shortage,
October and November and "Will
also have December before re
l:ef from the new crop. The Am
erican people have had 600,000 tons
of sugar in these two months. This
is 70 percent of their normal sup
plies in each month and if cars are
available they will have seventy per
cent in December. Owing to car
shortage the shortage has been
most acute in the northeast and
about 200 c»ra are today blocked
from that region. This 70 per
cent la twice the French Ration.
In tho meantime yve have given
France a good part of the thlrtj
percent and are proud of it. jThis
supply slveai to France was given
deliberately and the American peo
ple were told of it at the time.
We have also agreed to draw 10.
000 tons for our frienda In Canada.
1 bavo yet to meet an American
citizen who would have it otherwise.
Aa to tho food administration stop
ping the sources of Bupplies the
fact that all available supplies
$ave been brought there that ships
could bring and that it has already
been oateu is sufficient answer. Mr.
Spreckles knows the bitterness of
tho ten-year figbts between, produc
ers and refiners and between refin
ers anl if bo looks back over the
last thiee months he will observe
a desire of many of these elements
to use the food administration as
a club to settle tbelr long-standing
bitterness. If Mr. Spreckles will
tell us where there is any sugar
today that ships can be obtained
to carry or oars can be obtained to
deliver it will bo delivered at once
with tho Bame resolution that we
have requisitioned or distributed
ovtr C0.000.000 pounds of embar
fcargoed sugar since October 1st.
Ia the meantime the 900,000 tone
of sugar in Java is aa remote as
cheese out of the moon unless we
wish to take bread ships «rom our
own soldiers and the allies to pro
vide ourselves with candy."
Yours very truly,
: ROYAL A GUNNISON,
Federal Food Administrator Tor

PALACE OF THE CZARS.
Beauties of Taarskot Salo, Built by
Patar the Graat.
Tsarskoe Solo, tbe ctty some fif
teen miles south of Petrograd where
the former czar was accustomed to
spend tbe spring and where t'ue paas
ants seized the hunting preserve of
the deposed Nicholas, Is a beautiful
place. •
The ctty now has a population of
30,000. It was ant Insignificant village
when Peter the Great presented It to
his consort, Catherine I., and began
tho construction there of the great im
perial palace. The palace was com
pleted Jtist a year before Peter's death
and was greatly beautified by bis
da 11 Khter, Elizabeth Petrovna, in later
years.
Some of the most magnificent royal
apartments In Europe are found in this
palace, notably the bedroom of Marie
Alexandrovna, consort of Alexander
II., with its opalescent glass walls, its
columns of purple glass and Its moth
er-of-pearl inlaid floor. The walls of
another chamber are paneled with am
ber; a third apartment is decorated
with silver; another has wonderful ta
bles and chandeliers which glow with
soft light of lapis lazuli, and there is a
ballroom which glitters with gold and
mirrors.
With all these sumptuous apartments
at his disposal, Nicholas II. Eeldom oc
cupied uny of them, but preferred to
live in a modest building no larger
than the country home of tbe average
well to do American.
The extensive gardens and parka,
embracing au area twenty-eight times
as large as the Uulted States capital
I grounds, are among the chief beauties
of Tsarskoe Selo. Picturesque grot
toes, artistic bridges, charming arbora
and delightful swan ponds are to be
found ou all sides, with here and there
an artificial ruin which captivates the
I eye and Quickens the imagination.
J Beyond the imperial gardens and
I grounds the streets of tbe village are
broad and straight. There are several
barracks and hospitals and eight
churches.—National Geographic Society
Bulletin.
Persian Cookary.
Cookery among the well to do classes
in Persia is extravagant, partly be
cause they are lavishly hospitable,
partly because all house servants are
fed from the leavings of the master's
table. A favorite dish Is the following:
Small pieces of lamb of the size of a
walnut are skewered on a slender rod
of Iron; two pieces of lean and a piece
of the delicate fat of the huge tall of
the oriental sheep are put on alternate
ly, a soupcou of garlic or onion is add
ed, and the kabuli Is toasted over a
tierce fire and handed hot. It is eaten
with a little salt and a squeeze of lem
on. Tiny chickens, quails, pigeons,
doves and young partridges are handed
hot ou the spit itself to each guest.
