DO THE PEOPLE OF KETCHIKAN REALIZE That if Ketchikan goes dry the
Liquor interests have 24 days to get out of business. (Do you think it is fair?) These 10
places are among the highest contributors to our City tax.
Think it over. Do you think it is right to put these men out of business in 24 days with
One Hundred and Twenty=Five Thousand Dollars invested.
Right is right and wrong is wrong, is this justice?
LE BARGE TO PLAY
FOR BIG DANCE
_ %
The services of Prof. John A. Le
Barge, the “king of instruments” who i
is now appearing at the Grand Thea
tre, have been secured for tomorrow
night's dance at Red Men’s Hall.
That the assistance of this artist will
be a treat for the dancing public, is
putting it mildly, for he is sure a
splendid instrumentalist.
Mr. Le Barge is an artist on the
mandolin, violin, banjo and xylophone
and many other instruments. Can
you imagine anything quite as good
for the ever popular Germania? Some
music in store.
For the time of your life, attend to
morrow night’s hop at Red Red Men's
Hall. (adv.)

the charming outing and greatly ap
preciative of the many courtesies

guests they tvere on the Teddy, and
Mr. Mike Wadding, superintendent of
the cannery at Loring, who was so
amiably hospitable and spared no
trouble in making their 8-hour visit
there one of interest and pleasure.

SLIDE KELLEY, SLIDE!
The other day some sort of a club
the members of which are young men,
full of life and ready to go anywhere
with a leader wanted to take a trip.
At last they found a leader whose
name is said to be “Kelley.” They
took the notion to go up "Goat Moun
tain.” Everything was lovely until
they started on their way down. Go
ing up, while the snow is deep, the
crust kept them on top. It was not
so, however, on their way down. They
stayed on the top of the snow at the
same time they slid down and times
and again found themselves piled up
at the foot of an incline, mixed up
every which way. “It was awful,”
the reporter said. “We were often on
the top of our leader. It was a shame.
He is a good leader too, they say, and
he can slide to beat the band.” The
slogan on the way down was "Slide
Kelley, slide; and slide was right.

ANNNETTE ISLAND
TRAPS TO DISAPPEAR
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TO BE
ORDERED TO ENFORCE THE
PROCLAMATION.
A report was received last even
ing that the last fish trap in the re
served waters for the natives of Met
lakatla around Annette island, was to
be removed presently. It is said that
the government officials have either
been notified or will soon be notified
to carry out the intent of the procla
mation.
On inquiry, it is found that the
only remaining trap in the “forbid
den'' waters is that belonging to Mr.
Burkhardt, who is now in the States.
The authority giving the officials
power to remove the traps within
these waters is contained in the fol
lowing:
By the President of the United States
of America.
A PROCLAMATION.

as Annette Islands, situated in the
Alexander Archipelago in southeast
ern Alaska, on the north side of Dix
on's entrance, be, and the same is
hereby, set apart as a reservation
for the use of the Metlakatla Indians,
and those people known as Metlakat

from British Columbia to Alaska, and
such other Alaskan natives as may
join them, to be held and used by
them in common, under such rules
and regulations and subject to such
restrictions, as may be prescribed
front time to time by the Secretary
of the Interior,” and
WHEREAS the Secretary of the In
terior, with a view to assisting the
Metlakatlans to self-support, has de
cided to place in operation a cannery
on Annette Island; and
WHEREAS it is therefore neces

contiguous of the hereinafter describ
k-d group comprising the Annette Is

Now, therefore, 1, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States of
America, by virtue of the power in
me vested by the laws of the United
States, do hereby make known and
proclaim that the waters within three
thousand feet from the shore lines at
mean low tide of Annette Island, Ham
Island, Walker Island, Lewis Island,
Spire Island, Hemlock Island, and ad
jacent rocks and islets, located with

BUYING FOOD ON CALORY BASIS.
(New York World.)
Seven dollars and thirty-one cents
a week will buy food enough for a
family of five in New York City.
Experiments carried on during the
last two years by the social service
deparmtent of the Beth Israel hos
pital have furnished the health de
partment data for the foregoing con
clusion. Sample menus and lists of
supplies are offered—all based on the
carefully worked out theory that fath
er needs about three thousand calor
ies of beat energy every day, mother
can manage with 2,500, while the
children will thrive on front 1,200 to
1,600 each.
“We have been trying to spread
such knowledge for some time.”
Health Commissioner Emerson de
clares. “Certainly this list should
prove invaluable to the housewife
who is trying to provide a wholesome
diet at a limited cost."
We hope it may. At the same time
we can't help sympathizing with
housewives who take a pride in cater
ing, not on the calory basis, but on
the old fashioned principle of market
ing for what the family likes and
what seems to agree with it, “No
body,” as Bret Harte used to say,
"likes to have somebody else taste
his lemonade for him.”
Folks make some pretty bad mis
takes about food. But who wants to
be watered and fed like a plant?

When the parasol is opened and its

objects is easy.
JAPANESE TISSUE USED
FOR PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTS'
_
A notable contribution to photo
graphy has recently been made by
the invention of a process of sensitiz
ing the delicate hand-made Japanese
tissues with a rapid emulsion for con
tact printing ahd enlarging by arti
ficial light. The usual proceedings in j
sensitizing photographic papers is to
coat the paper first with emulsions
of baryta and gelatin, and subsequent
ly with the light sensitive emulsions
consisting mainly of nitrate of silver
and gelatin carefully prepared.
The difficulties encountered in
treating papers of such delicate struc
ture as the Japanese tissues with the
necessary emulsions mentioned above,
are that the tissue curls and crumples
to such an extent that it is useless
for any commercial purpose.
Recently an inventor has succeeded
in treating the tissue with the baryta
and sensitive emulsion in such a man
ner that the paper is strong during
the manipulations of developing, fix
ing and washing of the print. It will
dry, between blotters, in about 20
minutes, and remain flat and flexible,
retaining the rich, velvety surface
characteristic of the Japanese tissues,
and the pictures produced on that pa
per are rich in quality and extremely
beautiful; any tone suitable to the
picture is obtainable by placing one
or more delicate-colored papers be
neath the photograph or roughly col
oring the mount, lending the print an
effect similar to colored etchings.
It is highly adaptable for decora
tive purposes, lending itself most
readily for transparencies, lamp
shades, etc., producing pleasing sub
dued effects. It is said to be so tough
that it may be wet and crumpled like
a wash rag and yet be restored to
perfect condition.

Many years ago soap boilers used
to have great difficulty in getting rid
of a thick, evil-smelling liquid which
was the chief by-product of their in

collecting it and refining it. The re
sult was glycerine as it is known to
day.

IDLENESS CAUSE OF CRIME.
The assertion that liquor causes 75
to 90 per cent of crime is proved up
on investigation to be false.
"Idleness, not intoxicating liquor, is
the greatest cause of crime,” declares
District Judge John A. Perry, as a re
sult of his observations during one
year's service as presiding judge in
the West Side Criminal Court.
Dring Seldom The Cause.
“What causes criminals? Not whis
ky? Crime is generally charged to
whisky. I thought so until I went to
the West Side Court and presided
for more than a year and had every
kind of a criminal before me. There
were few cases before me for which
drink was responsible. I would say
that 10 per cent would be a large
ratio to give to liquor as the cause of
crime. 1 would like to say that liquor
is responsible for crime and would
like to say that prohibition will lessen
crime in this state, but I am sorry
that 1 cannot say it conscientiously.
"Then what is the cause of crime?
Idleness. Ninety per cent of crime
is caused by idleness—city idleness.
1 have talked with Judge Butler and
oilier judges who have presided in the
West S de Court and they agree that
whisky and strong drink is not the
great cruise of crime. The two often
go together, but we cannot say truth
fully that drink causes over 10 per
cent of the crime.
Bootlegger Causes Crime.
“Yes, I am sorry, but we cannot lay
crime to drink, and I am also sorry
that I do not anticipate a reduction
of crime through prohibition in Col
orado. If drink has anything to do
with it, I should fear an increase in
crime. Good whisky is bad enough
and has its evil effects, but bad whis
ky, which usually is sold in prohi
bition districts, they say is the limit.
And, the ‘bootlegger' will sell whisky
to anybody.
“A drunkard or child—any one who
has the price—can buy the stuff from
a ‘bootlegger,’ while a regular saloon
keeper, if he is decent, is inclined to
draw the line. The ‘bootlegger’
knows he is an outlaw and does not
stop at anything.”
