TO WHOM DO WE UELONG?
Would the money trust, with
its offices in New York City, un
dertake to block the attempt to
raise money, il' an independent
company were to try to build a
railway from Valdez to Fair
banks, or from Seward to Fair
banks? If you believe what Ma
jor Ballaine, formerly of the
Alaska Central railway out of
Se.ward, told the Senate Territor
ial committee in Washington last
month, this soealled trust would
at least make it very difficult.
“I was given to understand,”
said Major Ballaine, in substance,
Fthat /jhe Guggenheim half of
the Alaska Syndicate regards
Fairbanks and the Tanana as
their own particular Held. The
Morgan half of the syndicate re
spected the feelings of the. Gug
genheim* in the matter, and re
fused to assist me in my project
to complete Ihe railway from
Seward to Fairbanks.” Where
upon the major dropped the pro
ject.
11 that is tile situation, com
mented Senator W'alsli, “that is
another reason why the govern
ment should go into the railway
business in Alaska.” 11' the mon
ey powers and the big companies
are dividing Alaska in lilt! same
fashion as nations of Europe go
about dividing up the continent
of Africa, il is about time for the
government to take, a hand, at
least to the extent of seeing to
il that the individual may si ill
have a fair Held.
The Tanana valley is ion big
to lit into the vest pocket of any
money trust or big corporal ion.
.We do mil intend to be the
properly of any private concern
to which lo pay tribute. Already
Fairbanks enjoys the advatage
and the distinction of being the
principal Alaska port on two
transcontinental navigation
lines, and transcontinental rail
way lines are competing in their
maneuvers to make Fairbanks
their inland terminus. From this
competition arises a great light
of publicity, in Hie rays of which
monopoly cannot nourish.
It is only natural for an indi
vidual or a company to desire to
obtain a monopoly in a particu
lar line of business. So long as
the methods employed are fair
and respect human rights, it is
unfair lo denounce as criminals
those who seek monopoly, and
only demagogues will do so. But
in Ihe business of serving the
public for profit there must he
a fair Held for all, ami the public
will certainly resist forcibly be
ing fenced off into private pre
serves.— Fairbanks Times.

MOON1 IGHT.
(By George Fitch).
Moonlight is a second grade il
lumination furnished by the so
lar system free of cost to man
kind and is used by a great many
economical cities as a 'substitute
for electricity.
iMoonligh is caused by the re
lleclion of the rays of the sun
which strike the moon with great
force and bounce on the earth.
It has a soft, silvery quality,
which is highly esteemed but is
ni: re unreliable than a candle
with a heavy wind. As a business
institution the mcton is worse
than the municipal government
than a municipal government and
lives up to its schedule like a
southern railway train in the
flood season. The celebrated
Philadelphia schedules, as pre
pared by eminent astrologers and
used by hundreds of cities, calls
for moonlight < f the best qual
ity- for two weeks out of t*aeh
month but usually during half of
this time the moon is behind a
bank of light proof clouds play
ing lag with the asteroids while
the pedestrian is feeling his way
•ho;me in pitchy darkness and try
ing to displace shade trees with
his features.
Moonlight for commercial pur
poses is an imposing failure but
when mixed with sentiment it
produces the highest grade of ro
mances and has acquired a rep
utation in this line second to
nothing in the market. A mod
erale dose of moonlight, taken
preferably with plenty of water
and sweetened with a few soil
words will produce an engage
ment in from Id to 15 minutes
under favorable conditions. Many
a young man who has no inten
tion at all of marrying has gone
out into the moonlight with a
young lady dressed in lleecy
white stuIf and has come back
half an hour later an engaged
man and wondering how in thun
der he is going to explain things
to half a dozen other young la
dies for whom he has a lender
regard.
Scientists disagree as to
whether moonlight produces this
elfect by softening the heart or
the head.
Moonlight also has a pronoun
ced elfect upon dogs. If a
healthy, happy dog is exposed to
the moonlight for a few hours lit'
will attempt to render an entire
German opera. This can be cur
ed by letting daylight through
llie dog with an ordinary 22-cal
iber rifle.
