TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1919
f A SERVICE WITH A PUNCH
Through its membership in the As
sociated Press, the Daily Times each
day receives by wire a concise, accu
rate account of the world’s happen
ings, no matter where they occur, in
towns near by or half a world dis
tant.
The unequaled facilities of the As
sociated Press, with the combined
forces of the more than eleven hun
dred newspaper members in the Unit
ed States, each in honor bound to
furnish to its fellow members the im
portant occurrences of its immediate
locality, and with foreign correspond
ents, staff men and allied news-gath
ering agencies keeping close watch on
what happens abroad, bring daily
such a mass of dispatches as, con
densed and told in the most terse
manner, more than taxes the capacity
of all the available wires.
Rut the wire service, with its nec
essaray limitations, is supplemented
by the Associated Press by a service
by which items, useful and interest
ing, but relatively too unimportant for
telegraphic dispatch, are mailed to the
members of the organization.
In addition to an interesting and
comprehensive foreign service there
are items of interest nearer home,
the doings of a state convention, the
discoveries of medical or industrial
science, a stirring address, too long
for transmission by wire, too impor
tant to be unnoticed.
The mail service, bearing the same
label of truth-telling—“By the Asso
ciated Press”—as the wire items, re
cords a widely varying range of in
formation. One sheet may bring the
text of regulations promulgated by a
cabinet official; the next may record
the pitching or the batting averages
of baseball players; another may de
scribe the finger-like shadow of an
eclipse, or may tell the life story of
a centenarian.
And so it is that the Times, through
the Associated Press, can daily depict
in marvelous detail the doings of the
world.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
Commencing November 1, the sub
scription price of the Anchorage
DailV Times will advance to $1.25 per
month. Yearly subscription advances
to $12, paid in advance. Increased
cost of paper, material and production
necessitates the increased subscrip
tion price.—Anchorage Times.
With the coming of springtime we
expect the territory to be overrun
■with husband hunters. When the
g0Q50 and the swans and the duck
lings come north again to mate, and
Nature’s limner decks the hills with
green, when the billing and cooing of
the turtle dove and the voice of the
marmot are heard in the land, we |
warn our bachelors to beware. And
it might also be well to be wary. Val
dez Miner.
With a sugar shortage on hand and
a threatened coal shortage, and the
prohibition law being enforced, about
the only part of a hot whisky we can
see ahead of us this winter is the
water to do the mixing in. No coal
to heat the water over, no sugar to
sweeten it,, and with no whisky to
flavor—Taku, please don’t blow.—
Douglas News.
A Fairbanks paper says it looks
hard for the dogs, but the Indians and
whites are still eating. Recently an
Indian walked all the way in from
Chena with a bunch of grouse he had
killed. He also reported that he had
killed a moose near Chena, but stated
that he would have to kill his dogs,
ns he had nothing to feed them this
winter. The paper says that the resi
dents will be able to pinch off enough
game this winter while the wardens
are not looking to prevent anyone go
ing hungry,

STOCKS TAKE A JUMP
WITH STRIKE SETTLED
NEW YORK, Nov. 11 (by Associ
ated Press).—Stocks were buoyant
today on the news that the coal strike
had been called off. Thte leaders,
notably Steels, gained from two to
six points.
Many Nome people are going into
the fur business. Those who have
been following it the past year have
made considerable money, and many
vessels have returned from trading
with the natives laden with white fox
and other skins.
