Business among the mer
chants of Fairbanks is not as
brisk as it should be at this
season of the year. There is
less money Ilian usual in cir
culation and les* demand for
the goods which ordinarly find
sale in the local market. Some
thing is radically wrong. The
town is sick. It needs a tonic
lo quicken its pulse; it needs a
general treatment by a com
munity specialist.
The Times is not only a com
munity specialist; but it needs
only half an eye to see where
the merchants are losing a larg0
share of their bu iness—where
the town is losing many dollars
anually which by right should
remain at home.
We refer to the increasing
patronage which is going to
the mail order houses of the
Outside-to the money which is
sent out of Alaska to swell the
profits of corporations which
are rapidly becoming a menace
to the small towns of the na
tion. Figures are not obtain
able, but i't is safe to say that
many thousands of dollars are
invested in cheap catalogue
humbuggery by Fairbanksans
each year-dollars which should
remain in the town for the ben -
efit of the local merchants and
the community in general.
There is no reasonable argu
ment in favor of buying from
a mail order house. They sell
for cash only, and if the 'loney
does not accompany the order,
the goods are not shipped. They
are not concerned in your fin
ancial reverses; they have
neither sympathy nor credit to!
extend in ease of sickness; they:
do not believe in grubstaking i
old customers to help develop
the country, and they contribute
nothing toward the upkeep of.
the town or the payment of j
your wages. They are merly
leaches in the -ide of indus
trial humanity, grasping all the
dollars they can lay their hand*
on and giving little in return, j
That is what is the matter
with business in Fairbanks, j
The Outside catalogue houses |
have the town by the throat.
The money which should he
pent, over flic counters of the
local merchants, who pay jl out
again for clerk hire, for fuel
Tight and other expenses is
sent away from the country
lo the large corporations which
give ns nothing in return. They
deliver their cheap goods, and
that is all.
The evil which is hound to
follow in the wake of the mail
'or habit ought fo furnish
>d for 'thought, both for the
'.errhants of Fairbanks and
>r those who earn their money
here and spend it elsewhere.—

WARSHIPS CAN USE
CANAL IN TWO DAYS
“After August 15 the date
upon which the Panama canal
will he thrown open to the traf
fic of the world, any warship of
any nation will have the right
of peaceable and uninterrupted
passage through it. This is
guaranteeded by the provisions
of the second Hay-Pauncefote
treaty ratified November 18,
1901.”
This statement made recently
by Lindley M. Garrison, Secre
tary of War, serves to draw at
tention to the fact that the
first.important use of the canal
may be by warships of the for
eign powers now in conflict or
which may come in'bo conflict.
Nearly all the belligerent, pow
ers have possessions in the
West Indies or along the north
ern coast of South America,
and if German warships should
by any chance attack Canada,
Japan, according to her treaty
of defense with Great Britain,
might find it immediately nec
essary to use the canal for her
warships, as Japan has official
ly stated that she will come to
England’s defense if the latter
is attacked.
It was always intended that
warships should play a grea't
part in celebrating the opening
of the canal, although, of course
when these plans were made no
one foresaw the present Euro
pean situation. Under -the Hay
Pauncefote treaty the duty de
volves upon 'the United States
to maintain the neutrality of the
canal.
The provisions of one article
ol' the treaty apply to adjacent
to the canal and within three
marine miles a't both ends.
This provision states:
“Vessels of-war of a belliger
ent shaii not remain is such
waters longer than twenty-four
hours at any one time except
in case of distress, and In such
case shall depart as soon as
possible; but a vessel of war of
one belligerent shall not de
part within twenty-four hours
from the departure of a ves-el
of war of the other bellig
erent.”
What effect, if any, the war in
Europe, and especially jn Euro
pean waters, will have on the
proposed naval celebration to
be held in connection with the
opening of the canal in Feb
ruary is now the subject of n
formal discus- ion among naval
officers in Washington.
The result of the war is ex
pected to play an important
part in the success or failure
of the naval celebration, and it
is stated today that if the war
continues as long as from now
until February it is not im
probable that the naval part of
the celebration will lie post
poned.

An Expensive Dish.
Caruso, the great Italian singer,
dined at a private house In London,
and he was so pleased with a dish of
macaroni that the cook had sent up to
the table that he insisted on going
down to the kitchen to offer his thanks
In person. Not only did he thank the
lady, but he offered her the choice of
a ticket to hear him sing at Covent
Garden or a song on the spot.
The cook, not trusting very much to
the remembering capacity of famous
teuors, said she would have the song
oil the spot. So Caruso, leaning ngalnst
the kitchen dresser, immediately fa
vored her with "Lai Donna e Mobile"
lu his most brilliant manner.
As somebody pointed out after
ward:
"Caruso expects at least $2,500 for
a private concert, which makes the
cook’s macaroni the most expensive
dish ever eaten.”
He Was Right.
