One would think that truth
woum nave no tendency to nuit
anyuouy except those whom, as
tne poet puts it, tne trutn would
inoict," but it is a peculiar fact
tnat tnere are some people who
uis.iKe to nave tne tiiuu mia even
thougn tiie telling casts no re
flection upon tnemseives.
Yv hy tins should be we have
not the capacity to fathom but,
that it is so is dearly proved by the
remarkable fuss they sometimes
raise when tiutli emerges into
the light, and stands revealed, so
that all may know it for what it
is. And this, remember, when
there is no perceptible reason for
their attitude; no apparent con
nection to suggest that they have
anything to conceal; no visible
index as to the why or wherefore
cf their desire to cover up and
prevent things from appearing
as they are.
it is, of course, an obvioas de
uuct.on mat mey, perhaps, have
souietning 10 co.iceai iiiut is not
appaient; tnat to sngntiy para
p.udae uie quaint oiu apiiiUism,
* tlieie is a nigger in tneir wood
pue, tnat does not appear except
on caienu inspection. Fernaps so.
It may be tnat somewhere, deep
down in their being, there is that
which shrinks and trembles when
ktruth teais the slirouuing veil
from falsehood and deception be
cause of a latent fear that the
same all revealing hand will one
day disclose that which they
themselves conceal'
This may be at the root of their
inexplicable desire to prevent the
trutn fioni being shown when its
revelation win not, apparently,
effect themselves.
It is patent, however, that,
truth cannot hurt anything that
is not evil. Nothing tiiat is right
but can stand the test of truth.
It is only unwholesome things
that need concealment. No
amount of argument can alter the
fact that truth can harm only
that which is in itself harmful.
it is, therefore, exceedingly dif
ficult to understand why any one
should raise a fuss when the truth
is being told if that which they
seek to defend is above suspicion,
and they themselves are immacu
late.
“THE GERMAN
MATCH INDUSTRY
Consular Report.
In 1833 Johann Fredrich Kum
merer, of Wurtemberg, invented
phosphorus matches. Ten years
later the first match factories
were established in the Harz
mountains, in the neighborhood
of Brunswick. At first matches
cost $3 to $3.75 a thousand. The
production reached its highest
point at the beginning of the
preseut ceutury. Iu 1931 the total
production of German matches
was 205400,000,000' After tne
iuuouucuon ot tne tax of Octo
ber 1, 1909, the production con
uueiaoly decreased. In 1910 it
only amounted to 59,302,000,000
matches. the mtrouuction of
substitute* and elactnc Ughtmg
contributed to the decrease. The
manufacture of matches has been
affected through the want of the
necessary wood, the asp and
trembling poplar being used, the
importation of which, principally
from Kussia, has been cut off.
these kinds of wood absorb par
affin easily. In their place pine
G used and it was formerly for
phosphorus matches.

NOTES
Ed N. Clark of Ketchucau is
repoited to be in New Orleans
and claims to have walked every
foot of the way from Alaska to
New Orleans. He is a special
writer for magazines and says
that he likes walking. The east
ern people were surprised when
he did not attempt to make easy
money by selling pictures of him
self or distribute advertising lit
erature. He says that lie will
walk around the world if he livc9
long enough.
In coming to Fairbanks from
Brooks, Ed Bartlett found a Slav
onian along the trail, who was
suffering with a badly frozen
foot. The left foot from the to#
tips half way to the ankle was
completely frozen. He was taken
to the Snowshoe roadhouse where
he was treated as best he could
be The next morning his feet
were in such condition that Mr,
I’artlett decided to take him to
t< wn and he did start with him,
say® the Fairbanks News Miner
of Maxell ij.
Yesterday as they approached
town tne Slavonian wanted to
know wnere oaitictt was taxing
min. i ne tieiguter replied tnai
lie was taxing mm to tne Hospital,
to winch tiie patient replied tnut
in liau attic money ana did not
want to go to tilt hospital- Ed
occauie a little peeved at-this,
believing that the man had plenty
ot money to pay for medical
'treatment, and toid lus passenger
that he would take him to one
oi two places—jail or the hospi
tal. The man elected to go to
me hospital.
Burnett Inlet, near Wrangell,
which is rarely covered with ice
is reported to have a coating this
year which is more than three
inches thick. Men who are get
ting out three hundred thousand
feet of timber were forced to cut
a passage through the ice for
their launch in order that they
could reach a supply point. Two
days of hard work were required
to get the boat into open water.
Editor Caskey of the Fairbanks
citizen anu l osunaster Oeal, ot
i aimaiiKs entei tameu an euuius
lastic uunch ot spectators one
night recently when they eugag
eu in a one round go-as->ou-piease
first light- Eeal scored a knock
down nut Caskey clinched and in
the breakaway landed an upper
cut which would have sent the
postmaster to the mat had not
oystanuers caug'ITt him. 'ihe citi
zen had scored Deal in regard to
letting the mail contract to serve
the Tolovana camp. Honors
were even.
Prospects 01 me new Yukon
placer camp which is located near
Fort Selkirk, appear to be look
ing up as pay which averages
tv enty cents to the pan has been .
uncovered on claims 8 and 9 on
Rude creek. The extent of the
pay is not known but the fact
that they are in the money is
good enough to satisfy the min
ers. Complaints are made that
most of the ground appears to
have been staked by parlor-min
ers who are waiting for the other
fellow to develop a paystteak
which will give value to their
ground. Dip and Isaac creek have
also shown good prospects and
are believed to have possibilities
as producers.—Valdez Miner
