GOOD ADVICE TO
TOE LIQUOR
INTERESTS
In discussing the effort to stop th<
’ sale of Intoxicating liquors to Indians
District Attorney Roth stated th<
other day that the saloonmen coult
do much to stamp out the practice hj
aiding in bringing the men to Justice
nnd he pointed out how In that waj
they can assist themselves, says th<
Fairbanks Citizen.
There is a lesson In what Mr. Rot!
said that should be observed by al
licensed snloonmen. These are us
ually two clnsses of liquor dealers
Just as there nre two classes of othei
kinds of business people, the good and
the bad. The saloonkeepers who re
sort to trickery and questionable
methods have brought the business
into disrepute from which it Is now
sufiffering.
It is quite certain that the tricky
liquor dealer does more to promote
prohibition than does the active re
former. He does this by creating
public sentiment against saloons, for
his trickery in almost all Instances
is sure to be found out.
The saloonkeeper who sells in
toxicating liquors to Indians or minors,
or nllows boys to loiter in his place
of business, or who keeps open on
days forbidden by law, defies the
law and hurts not only himself but the
other men who are engaged in the
same line of business.
In the last few years the drygoods
merchants have awakened to the harm
that is being done their business by
dishonest, tricky dealers. To over
come this they have organized the Ad
clubs, in almost all the large cities,
and these clubs make it their business
to' get laws passed to prevent mis
leading advertisments and to bring
dishonest merchants to justice.
Why could not the law-abiding sa
loonrnen of Interior Alaska organize
for the purpose of raising the stand
ard of their business. In that way
they could see that liquors are not sold
to habitual drunkards or to children
or Indians and could put out of busi
ness the dlsreputnble class of dealers.
There has already been an effort
made to get congress to pass a law
to put a stop to the saloon business
In Alaska. The fact that many o(
the States went dry at the recent
election, shows the tendency of the
times. If the Alaska saloonmen are
going to permit their business to be
degraded, it must be but a matter ol
a short time until prohibitive laws wil
be passed in this Territory, that wil
end their operations here.

TRAIL TRAVEL IS
LIGHT THIS WINTEF
Travel either by stage or auto be
tween the Interior and the coast ii
light this winter, being scarcely sufli
eient to pay for gasoline or horsefeed
The new snow also will make a dli
ference to travel, and whether tin
autos will be able to negotiate tb
snow iB a question.
In the early fall the auto busines
to the coast was good. If the sched
ule can be maintained in the wlnte
there will probably be room for it, bu
| the maintenance of an nuto servic
over the winter trail is still a matte
of doubt.
MANY PREPARING TO GO
TO BROAD PASS COUNTR'
H. C. Emory, superintendent of th
Martin mine, Is authority for th
statement that not less than one hut
dred and fifty people are waitin
around Knik to go into the Broa
Pass country when enough snow falls
Mr. Emory has ten men working i
the mine and severnl four-horse teams
Everything is looking splendid in
mining way. He seems to be sui
prised that more people are not wal
ing here to go into Broad Pass whic
is apparently thought a great deal o
in other quarters.
