COMES UP"
Ketchikan Liquor Dealer?
Most Pay ^1000
Ketchikan is in the throes of an ip- !
ternal strife that seems likely to joggle ;
the lively little town out of the ever
tenor of its way if some Joshua doe- 110'
ap ear pretty soon anil ?lisplav diplo
matic ability enough to shove things
back into the beaten track of harmony.
The difficulties all ?rrow out of the rais- j
ins of the saloon license from $.">00 t?* '
<1000. The saloon men are staying up
nights and neglecting business trying:
to figure it out whither or not they i
have been lunky-dinked.
When the-pring electkn came on'
there \v;is considerable talk of making,
Ketchikan a competitor of Sitka for the '
reputation of being the most mora!
tow n in Alaska. The saloon keeper
got busy with a 'nig I!, scurried around
for candidates w ho would staud on :!
ticket friendly to their interest, cam
paigned like Iudian lighter- and liiially :
treated themselves to complacent -mile ;
wheu the election showed they had
come oil victorious.
Now cones the vale of tears. No
sooner had the council taken oilice than
somebody, whose idenity fortunately ;
fot^hitn i- lost, .suggested that it was
time to count ne-es in Ketchikan and j
s^e if the saloons could not !>e made to i
/ontribute a littlr more liberally 10 the: '
town's exchequer.
The nose- were counted in such a .
fashion that note e-caped and the final ,
round-up -howed that Ketchikan's pop
ulation was enough to oblige the saloon
men to pay -leoo per if tliev wanted to |
continue business there. Tosttte there J
Aas a "holler" exnr?--es it too mildly,
but the !iat Ivi.- gone fo.'th and it went. | "
When Fourth of July began to be an '
?
were begun for a -nit able celebration '
there the saloon men. as usual, were ;
assess >; f">0 t uch. Hilt th - was not in
the dope. The book ooutaincd no such ^
formula ajfer the?l.> ? ? license hold up.
The booiieolvgl-:- calmly told the linance !
committee that they >:jod ready to put
up equally with the other business men.
Co:. sequent '.y Ketchikan had no Fourth
of .lu'v celebration.

SCIENCE PREVENTS BALDNESS.

It is the rarest thin? in the world for
a mar to be necessarily bald. No man
whose hair is not dead at the roots, need
be b.i'. i ii h?* will use Newtoro's Herpl

cide destroys the irorm that cuts the hair
off at the rout: and clcans the scalp of
dandruff and leaves it in a perfectly
healthy condition. ?.Ir. Jklannett. In the
