10 FIGHT AGAINST
CHEAP PRODUCTS
President Wilson Believes America
Will Be Flooded With Euro
pean Goods at Close of'War.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 27
President Wilson has instructed the
department of commerce and labor
and the Federal trade commission
to devise ways and means of prevent
ing the United States being flooded
with the products of cheap labor in
Europe after the war has been ter
minated.
It is believed that following the
long struggle in which the European
nations are involved that money will
be scarce in Europe and that the man
ufacturers of the suffering nations
will attempt to find a market in the
United States for their wares. Presi
dent Wilson has also urged the de
partments to secure the opinion of
trade experts in formulating their
plans to meet the threatened influx
of cheap labor from Europe which it
is believed will follow the close of
the war.

WILL SPEND $2000 ON
THE KOYUKUK TRAIL
FAIRBANKS.—Word was receiv
ed from Valdez that the road com
mission had decided to make an ap
propriation of $2000 for work on the
trail between Tanana and the Koyu
kuk. For ten years the people of
the Koyukuk have been trying to
get an allotment for work on the
trail to Wiseman, but the government
has never been able to grant the re
quest.
One reason why the road commis
sion has spent so little money on the
Koyukuk trail is because it is so long
that it would take many thousands
of dollars to make even a small im
pression.
The people of Tanana feel that the
allotment is but the commencemen
of work on the trail and that the;
will be able to get a small allotmen
each year to make improvements.—

HEAVY ORDERS
FOR MUNITIONS
t
European Governments Place Orders
for Hundred Thousand Tons of
Projectiles.
TOLEDO, Ohio, Sept. 27.—It Is es
timated that orders placed with man
ufacturers of munitions in this coun
try, hy the warring European nations
during the past week will reach the
enormous aggregate of one hundred
thousand tons of projectiles. Every
factory throughout the eastern states
which will accept orders for shells
is being operated to capacity. In
cases where the manufacturers have
refused to permit their factories
accepting orders for munitions they
are receiving orders from other fac
tories for articles usually handled by
the mills now engaged in making
projectile?.
Owing to the many explosions oc
curring in plants where munitions
are being manufactured guards have
been doubled at all mills and only
officials and employes are permitted
to enter the works.

ENGINEERING COMMISSION
PREFERS ALASKA COAL
When the Admiral Evans returns
from the westward she will bring one
, hundreds tons of coal from the Her
bert mine at Seldovla, for the Sew
ard market. The coal will be mar
keted in Seward for $11 per ton. Coal
from the same mine has been on sale
> at Anchorage for some time, and the
Engineering commission has used it
j in preference to outside coal. The
, coal now being marketed is taken
from a depth of 300 feet and is re
ported to be free from the drawbacks
of the coal taken from nearer the sur
face. Herbert plans to have his coal
on the market in all Alaskan coast
towns.

ZEPPELINS MAKE
FOURTEEN RAIDS
Hundred and Eighty Persons Have
Been Killed in England in Raids
Since Beginning of June.
LONDON, Sept. 27.—The British
war office has issued an official state
ment covering the damages to porp
erty and the loss of life due to the
raids of the German Zeppelins in En
gland since June, when the first
Zeppelin raid of England took place.
The report states that fourteen raids
have taken place and that 180 per
sons have been killed and several
hundred injured.
It is asserted that the damage done
by the huge German aircraft is insig
nificant in comparison with the losses
occasioned German cities in the nu
merous raids by the British and
French aviators. During the raids
of the Zeppelins one of the machines
was brought to earth by a British avi
ator, who also lost his life in the en
counter. It is stated that fewer raids
by Zeppelins are anticipated during
the coming months owing to the fog
gy season having set in earlier than
usual, and proving a handicap to the
navigators of the aircraft.

. The After-Hours
Salesman
MANY concerns lose money every night by not attract
ing the attention of the crowds on the streets in the
evening. On the other hand, many other concerns pros
per because they employ the after-hours salesman—Elec
tric Light. You can readily pick out these stores on the
busiest thoroughfares—their show windows pouring a
brilliant flood of light upward, outward and downward,
thereby adding an attraction to the goods displayed not
obtainable in any other way. Few people can resist a
glance at the beautiful effect—most people stop and ad
mire it. The proprietors of these shops are well versed
in all modern methods which make for success in devel
oping trade. They know that the lavish use of electric
light pays, and use Edison Mazda Lamps to obtain it at
a minimum cost.
