a.emNrs of the Ai&^kin mob w ho
emulated the Boston "t? ;i partj " in

"There is no immediate prospect
of settling v of the Alaskan coal
1-nd cases," said Dennett today,
una the members of the mob prob
acy will be forced to buy more fore
'm coal to replace what they throw
a?ay."
The above artick ap.vuruig iu the
pi%per> as an Associa Press dis
p*tch would uc-t seem to a person
of ordinary intelligence to carry
uiucb wi .j, lit, it snows too much
th?- private opinion rather Uiau the
c?ii..on of ai otficial of the United
S .ite? ia an official -apa^.ty
Although the iiiizens of Alaska
u.ay not euuorse the actiou of tu<
t'oruova citizens throughout, yet they
must a>iiu.t that the circumstances
ire exeuuatiag and aiiowaticea should
be made. The statement that "there
is no immed.a e pnosj< ct of settling
?iiy of the Alaskan coal cases" is
e* ? tradictcd lv the pr-ss dispatcher
of yesterday, which stateu that the
^?-cretary of the Interior had taken
the matter ia his own hand and that
a speedy settlement is anticipated.
The stand taken by Mr. Dennett is
t?ke what we are offered or u e will
get less.
It ia this class of of eials that
ar( doing more to retard the de
velopment of Alaska ban all other
' buses put together.

perhaps, thd smail-boy contingent

have some sentimental sympathy;

is simply a vase of business adapta

Having disposed of tins matter, it
is CJiiy right that we should seek to

and the result, as we proyhesy, will

THE PRICE OF MEAT.
The Alaskan yesterday published a
communication from a resident of
i?-tf city concerning the price of
meat. For some time complaints
b. ve been coming to the office touch
in* the same question and an inves
tigation has led to "he belief that
such complain * are by no means un
justified.
The Alaskan fully understands that
large profits are not only justi
fy hie In this country bu; that they
sometimes aid in keeping up the
standard of wages. But there is a
limit to all things, and when a com
modity, especially a necessity like

uk at, is sold at a price that deprives
he poorer people of it our corres
p rdent is within his rights in say
ing "it is time to call a halt,"
A conservative newspaper is al
ways slow, naturally, to take up
questions of this kind, but, then,
evtiy newspajer should strive to
rform the greatest good for the
S ?atest number, especially when tha
?Htion is clearly and unquestionably
right, and \,ten the paper has
been brought to see its justice and
usefulness.
In this instance the Alaskan, af
er investigation, willingly published
the letter of "An Oldtimer" as it
may serve to draw attention to a
matter which is really of prime im
portanee to many families who re
side in this c'ty and who may be
compelled *o suffer pri\-ations bc
. arse of the facts to which the cor
nspondent alludes.
