The announcement by the Commis
sioner ot Internal Revenue that any
poison who attempts to brow boor at
home will bo tho same as an illicit dis
tiller- will not cause much worry o»*
strike any to- ror in the hearts of Alas
kans* or for that matter any where
else. Pomestic brewing is all but a
lost art and besides tho domestic brow
has t«»o much of a kick and it taken
like the old hiewery beer* would put
the drinker* in a short time, in the
»razy house. You can talk all you wa*'t
to about the home brew- it g.t> ovei
and that is about all.
Of course there will be many per
haps who will attempt to revive the
domestic brewing* but the groat pa t

One of the symptons premonitory
of extensive resort to fermented 'to

only the future can decide* but it
would be interesting to know how far
the ruling of the Revenue Commission
as to tin* brewing will apply to other
methods of producing alcoholic drinks.
The ground of the ruling was stat
ed to that in brewing* one makes
a mash similar to that made by dis*
tillers* but cider or any wine will an*
swer the same purpose. If a man per
mits apple juice to ferment* is that to
become a penitentiary offense?
The Cnited States department of
labor has started a “buy now'* cam
paign. This includes also a build
now” and “repair now” campaign. The
purpose is to create jobs for the un
employed • chiefly returning soldiers.
It may worry some Californian
Yew Yorker that it is only fourteen
more days until duly 1st* when the
nation goes dry. but in our young li' *s
in Alaska this means no worry* we
beat the nation to it.

Secretary of State while Sccrctarv

Mrs. John Jacob Astor was married
several days ago to Lord Kibbesda <*
in London. The new bride was the
first wife of tin* late John Jacob Ast

Vincent Astor. The second Mrs. Ast»» ■
was Miss Madeline Force* daughter*''

ROMANC'K OF NORTH
Romances of the north were sum*
posed to have passed with the gamb
ling joint* the dance hall and the sa
loon* but it is much alive. \*> story of
fiction could have a plot more pleasing;
than the true story of James A. Gibbs,
of Fairbanks* who came north two
weeks ago with his bride. I he plot
would be divided into four section •
Alaska* tin* army* winning a wife and
a fortune.
A year ago, Mr. Gibbs left for
the Outside to enter the army.
While at Camp Lewis he met a beau
tiful Seattle girl . In due time their
engagement was anounced and the
latter part of last month they wen*
married. For a honeymoon th*\v
went to Tacoma by aeroplane* then
turned back for a trip through In
terior Alaska after which they will
make a tour through the Panam i
Canal and up the east coast of the
United States to see the points of in
to i-est there.
While Mr. Gibbs was in the army,
he let a lay on a wildcat mining
claim in the Tolovana district* about
sixty miles from Fairbanks. Neither
he nor the laymen had much confi
dence in it* but when bedrock was
reached* they found good pay. Dur
ing the winter months* some f!5*000
feet of bedrock was taken out* run
ning a little better than $1.25 to the
foot, and of this* the owner of the pro
perty* Mr. Gibbs* will get twenty-five
percent.
So* no one can ever convince
“Jimmy,” as he is popularly known
among his friends* that the war was
a stroke of bad luck, at least so far as
be was concerned. Its a good war that •
will bring a man a splendid experience
a wife and a fortune.
