Some way should be found to tax itinerant peddlers or business men
who come into cities, sell a lot of junk and then hike out with the money.
They are absolutely no good to the community or to the people who buy from
them. If they had good merchandise to sell they would surely stay in one
place and get a reputation.. The peop !e who run around like that, sell
ing for a short time in every old place, do so only because they want quick
sales and clean getaway before the simple victims catch on to them and their
rotten junk. A business man who lives permanently in a place has to keep
good value or lose business. These fly-by-nights do not. They pawn over
stufl that is specially manufactured and that is specially prepared to catch j
the unwary.

The railroad commission is naturally desirous of stopping too great !
a rush to this section of the country and, it might be respectfully suggested,
the very best way to start preventing such a stampede would be to let every
one know that Alaskans themselves will be appointed to all the jobs they |
can fill. It is hard to understand why so many working men rush here or |
to Ship creek before the actual construction work has begun. It is comp re- [
hensib»e why people who want to take up homesteads or enter business or
mining are coming but men who are merely looking for a daily wage could
surely do just as well anywhere else. If they were told that the men now
here would get the tirst chance they would probably stay outside.
The road fund has secured one hundred and sixty-five thousand dollars
this year and this amount ought to be sufficient for the accomplishment of
a lot of work. The chairman of the road commission has said that a “small
amount" of work will be done on kenai peninsula. This just now is the
most important part of the territory of Alaska and ought to receive the great
est amount of attention for its development and in preparation for the coming
population.

WANT CONSTRI CTION
OF CAPITOL TO BEGIN.
Business men of Juneau are discus
sing the idea of taking organized ac
tion to hasten the beginning of con
struction work on the Juneau capital
building. The sundry civil bill pass
ed by the recent congress provided
for a continuation of the work and ap
propriated $75,000 additional money
lor that purpose.
Of the original appropriation for a
Juneau public building, $17,500 re
mained after the site and the work
of investigating the foundation were
paid for. This sum is still available,
and the addition of the $75,000 car
ried in the sundry bill will increase
the total available sum to $252,500.
This is $‘>75,000 less than Secretary of
the Treasury William G. McAdoo has
estimated will be required for the
building, but it is enough to pay for
all the work that can be performed
before another congress convenes,!
which can make additional funds
available.—(Juneau Empire).

The chief of police states this after-j

SEATTLE, April 30.—The court
today awarded fifteen thousand dol

MEN who do their own
JLiwork well want a car
that does its work well.
They buy the Buick—
because it is sold on facts,
from the Valve-in-Head
motor on through.
They buy the Buick be
cause it does more than
was claimed--more than
expected. And these men
expect much.
Eleven years of build
ing valve-in-head motors
(in fact, the pioneer build
ers of valve-in-head mot
or cars) eleven >ears’ re
cord of long mileage per
car--eleven years of sat
isfying the most particu
lar users of motor cars
eleven years of pulling
through the heaviest sand
and mud, of the steepest
hill climbing. No wonder
men buy the Buick.
The best place to learn Buick qualities is on
the road. Demonstration given on request.
