CONTROLOF ITS
One of the contributing causes for
the passage of the bone dry prohibi
tion law for Alaska by the national
congress was the aggressive fight
made by Dr. Aline Bradley, a promi
nent woman temperance advocate of
the Fairbanks district. The argument
made by Dr. Bradley, in a letter to
Senator Gronna, presented to the con
gress previous to the passage of the
law, is informing, hence its reproduc
tion in a report from Washington:
Washington, D. C.—Alaska has
asked congress to enact at the present
session two laws, one prohibiting the
sale, manufacture and importation of
intoxicating liquors in the territory
after May 31 next, and another giving
to Alaska the right to control her
schools. Public school education and
the liquor problem must be consid
ered in Alaska concurrently accord
ing to Aline Bradley, legislative su
perintendent of the Fourth division
“drys” of Fairbanks, who points out,
in a letter to Senator Gronna, that
since the territory voted “dry” last
November it now has to look to its
territorial revenues as a substitute for
the liquor license revenues.
Senator Gronna has filed in the sen
ate this letter from Dr. Bradley, who
points out significantly, “that Alaska
voted dry on Nov. 7 by a majority of
more than 2 to 1 in her four judicial
divisions.” This vote is characterized
as “not simply a protest against alco
hol, but even more a vote against
Alaska’s rule by alcohol in all chan
nels—local, territorial and judicial.”
“When the Alaska of dance-hall,
gambling and saloon fame thus reg
isters her protest against the liquor
traffic,” the letter states, “when more
than 8;000 voters out of approximate
ly 12,000 sign their names to such a
gigantic petition against alcohol—the
petitioners are entitled to their de
mands.”
The situation now confronting i
Alaska—the problem of schools and j
liquor licenses—is explained as fol
lows by Superintendent Bradley:
“The plebiscite asked that Alaska be
made dry after Jan. 1, 1918. There
is no good reason, however, why
| Alaska should wait for the memorial
j from her territorial legislature be
I fore securing the passage of a bill
! by congress prohibiting the sale,
manufacture and importation of alco
holic beverages into Alaska. We
therefore beg to ask your earnest con
sideration of the reasons why Alaska’s
prohibition bill should be passed udr
ing the present session of congress.
“Section 419, Compiled Laws of
Alaska, creating a legislative assem
bly for Alaska provides that ‘the au
thority herein granted shall not ex
tend to the establishment and main
| tenance of schools. Before the 1914
spring session, the authority of the
Alaska territorial legislature as re
gards the “establishment and mainte
nance of” her schools must be given
with absolute certainty. Otherwise the
school revenue, which will begin to
fail as licenses expire in 1917, would
not be replaced in time; district
schools (Nelson) would be closed for
lack of funds, while those in incor
porated towns would be crippled for
the same reason. Our helpless ter
ritorial legislature could not remedy
the condition until its next session in
the spring of 1919. Alaska’s children
simply cannot face two years without
proper school revenue,
ufacture, all liquors consumed in
Alaska come into the southeastern
portion through its ports of entry and
into the interior by one of three routes
—St. Michael, White Pass R. R. via
Skagway, and via Valdez or Cordova
over the trail into Fairbanks and
other points. Hence, Alaska can be
’ made absolutely dry if congress so
elects.
“Having no fear that Alaska would
go dry on her first vote, the liquor
interests shipped into interior Alaska
last summer only the usual tonnage
of liquors, which supply must last the
. vast interior territory until the sum
mer of 1917, unless brought in over
the trail at a prohibitive cost.
“Should the importation of liquors
go unchecked next summer, the quan
tities shipped in will be beyond com
putation. The liquor interests, through
their three wholesale dealers in
Alaska, can afford to place as large
a stock as they may wish—no limits.
The liquor remaining on hand after
licenses expire and after January,
1918, will supply material for a profit
able business for several years to
come.
“After reading the foregoing we be
lieve you will admit that Alaska needs
three things:
“1. A prohibition measure which
will prohibit the sale and manufac
ture of liquor in Alaska after Jan. 1,
1918.
“2. A clause in the above prohibi
tion measure prohibiting the importa
tion of liquors into Alaska after May
31, 1917. This last and most impor
tant clause in order to cut off the boot
leggers’ supply and settle the bootleg
ging problem.
“3. A sister measure giving Alaska
the right to control her schools, bear
ing in mind that from the territorial
levenue must come the substitute for
the liquor license revenues. These
two measures must be enacted con
currently by this session of congress.”
JUNEAU.—A substitute air gas,
that will take the place and can be
used for the same purposes as gaso
line, distillate, cooking gas, illuminat
ing gas or heating gas, has been in
vented by Charles Warner of Juneau,
and a member of the local Elks lodge,
says the Empire of January 5. Mr.
Warner is a mechanic and inventor
and has been working on his inven
tion for the past two years. He has
now brought it to a point where he is
making practical tests and is demon
strating the production to his friends.
The gas is produced by blowing air
through tanks containing a dry pow
dered chemical and is absolutely dry
when produced. Water thrown into the
tank, or even heavy oils do not inter
fere with the production of the gas.
It has already been used to run a gas
oline engine under tests made by Mr.
Warner.
A small cylinder, ten inches long
by five inches in diameter, will hold
enough chemical to produce 1500 cubic
feet of the gas. The storage space
needed to hold 200 gallons of gasoline
which will run the ordinary gasoline
boat for two days, will hold enough
chemical to run the boat for six
months. The cost of the compound is
said to be about half the present cost
of gasoline.
Most gases of this kind will not ex
plode from an electric spark when
confined, but no such trouble is found
with Mr. Warner’s discovery, which
has been used to operate a gasoline
engine and worked perfectly. A small
tank of the chemical could be set up n:
a house with an attached air tank,
with a 2-pound weight, and would gen
erate sufficient gas to furnish light,
heat and cooking facilities for the ord
inary family for months.
Air can be delivered through the
chemical at any pressure from two t«
110 pounds and the gas generated will
correspond in pressure to that of the
air. Mr. Warner is not giving his find
much publicity as yet, but claims that
it will revolutionize the entire gaso
line engine industry, from marine en
gines to auto and aeroplanes. One of
the big drawbacks of the aeroplane in
dustry at the present time is the in
ability to carry enough fuel for long
voyages. Mr. Warner claims that
with his find they will be enabled to
carry enough to circle the world with
out trouble.

Latest Incorporated Gold Mining Com
pany to Begin Operating in the
Willow Creek District—Have
Opened Office at 547 4th.
The properties of the Arrah Wanna
Gold Mining Company consist of six
claims in the Willow Creek Mining
District, practically adjoining some of
the best paying mines in that section.
These claims contain the same charac
ter of ore and carry the same values
that the richest mines in the camp
have produced.
The location of the Arrah Wanna
properties, right in the heart of a
number of properties that are now
yielding hundreds of thousands to the
output of the Willow Creek region,
together with other natural conditions,
justifies the prediction that the prop
erties of the Arrah Wanna Gold Min
ing Company will in the near future
become one of the largest producers
of that district now conceded to be the
biggest producer of high-grade free
milling ore in Alaska at the present
time.
It is the purpose of the Arrah Wan
na Gold Mining Company to sell only
enough stock to cover the costs and to
meet the costs of contemplated devel
opment. When funds for this purpose
shall have been subscribed the stock
will absolutely be taken off the mar
ket, as it is the intention of the com
pany to take the means necessary for
further development out of the
ground.
ine Arran Wanna Gold Mining
Company is capitalized at $200,000.00
non-assessable, of which amount $40,
000.00 only will be sold for develop
ment purposes. As noted above, as
soon as sufficient money has been ac
quired for initial development work
the stock will be taken off the market,
the only exception being that the
I original purchasers will be entitled to
acquire, before the expiration of 30
days after the vein has been cut, as
much more stock as they originally
! may have purchased. This insures
them deriving the benefits to which
they are entitled, as they are the
! ones who will have helped to make
the mine. The stock will be delivered
to them at the same price as original
j ly sold at, regardless of what the
j market value may be.
The stock to be disposed of will be
sold at 25 cents per share. For every
share of stock sold at this time an
equal amount will automatically be
placed in the treasury subject to ac
quirement by the original purchasers.
The officers of the Arrah Wanna
Gold Mining Company are as follows:
Mr. T. M. Sheehan, president; S. R.
Maclinton, Vice-President; J. P. Han
sen, Superintendent; T. S. Oliver, Sec
retary and Treasurer. Directors:
Messrs. T. S. Oliver, S. R. Maclinton,
J. P. Hansen, A. B. Cummings.
Considerable expense has been in
curred in compiling an up-to-date map
of the Willow Creek district, which
may be seen by anyone interested, on
request, at office of Arrah Wanna
