iLASKA GAME LAWS.
everything else respecting
,, the game laws for the most

' secures statehood can there be
improvement. As it is now,
ne hunters paying a license can
ter game, whilst it is unlaw
• Alaskans to eat the meat and
j game for themselves. Meat

save in a limited sense. There

who remain in town busy with
work mut buy outside meat or
epend upon their friends to get
:asional piece of fresh meat. To
bona fide settlers to sell a lim
..mount of game would provide
with money to develop their
i, and at the same time give
residents cheap meat occasion
Under such a plan there would

THE DOCK CASE.
e news that the Court had de
1 for the defendants in the City
aldez vs. the Dock company, will
3ome as a surprise to the people
ais city. The City has not had
; to stand on from the first, and
ugh bad legal advice and a hasty
jerament was drawn into a suit
:h will now cost the taxpayers
ireds of dollars. Had the Court
ded other than the way it did it
Id have been retroactive legisla
, and harmful in the extreme to
best interests of the city. The
that the City was trying to do
if what it would deny the Dock
ipany from doing, was the un
isant part of the affair,
f we are ever to have a city here
iness must be protected—not only
Business, but Small Business as
.1. It is no more right for a city
:ake from a corporation that whrch
:heirs, than it is for a corporation
take from a city its inalienable
vi leges
And once again, we would advise
j city to change its attorney. Poor
vice is the mostly costly advice
the long run; and there is nothing
ved by paying an attorney a good
lary and then sending outside for
meone to handle the legal end of
e city’s suits. It would be better
hire an outside attorney from the
art and save the money expended
t our local “attorney.”
And now let us forget the Dock
lestion and pick out some live issue
tat will be a benefit rather than
armful to our business interests,
low about agitating a tax on bache
>rs? This would give us all the ex
itement we need, as the bachelors
re way in the majority, and would
erve to keep our mind off less wholc
ome matters.

TUNGSTEN ORE REACHES
A VERY HIGH PRICE
BOSTON: Small amounts of tung
sten concentrates have just been sold
on a basis of $3000 a ton, the high
est price ever reached. Under nor
mal conditions it sells at between
$300 and $400 a ton.
The European war and the indus
trial activities in this country have
brought about the sensational ad
vance in price. Machine tool manu
facturers, all of whom have been ex
ceedingly busy since the outbreak of
the war, have been the heaviest users
of tungsten. An actual shortage Is
threatened with the embargo placed
upon tungsten shipments from Eng

What, in all Alaska can you get to
send to your friends in the States bet
ter than a few nice views of Alaska?
There is not a soul living in any
country that is not interested in Alas
ka. Not a soul that does not appre
ciate pictures of Alaska. A view of
the last frontier on earth, that costs
you ten cents now, or as much more
as you like, cannot be bought of your
friends to whom you send it for ten
dollars, years from now. What other
one thing is surer to increase in val
ue with time than views? And you
can make your present just as much
or just as little as you like. Remem
ber, however, that it takes a little
time to make them. P. S. Hunt. tf
