Men coming over the trail from An
chorage report that bootleggers and
gamblers in the inlet metropolis have
the situation by the horns and are
reaping a harvest. Officials charged
with the enforcement of the law over
there seem unable to cope with the
conditions, and Anchorage, the largest
“dry" town in Alaska, has become so
wet that it is headquarters for liquor
sellers in all the surrounding camps.
Before the freezeup it was reported
from reliable sources that a consign
ment of fifteen barrels of whiskey
landed at Anchorage from outside of
Alaska was hustled aboard a small
boat and sent to Ratalla, south of Cor
dova.
One of the most common methods
used by the bootleggers to evade the
law’ Is to order liquor by express, di
recting that the shipments be sent to
as many different names as necessary
to keep the packages below the size
allowed by law.
Prom an official from the inlet, well
acquainted with the situation, it was
learned recently that liquor purchased
in Seward and taken to Anchorage
amount to a small part of the total
landed there during the past summer
as to be hardly worth consideration.
While a few large shipments hand
led by known bootleggers were seized
during the summer, the most exten
sive shipments which came consigned
to reputable merchants or were ship
ped subject to order and bills of lad
ing, with a draft attached sent through
the banks, went through without seiz
ure. One immense shipment, divided
L--- - . ■»
up Into small parcels with a different
name on every package, went through
easy.
Over two months ago, engineering
officials then here, were making at
tempts to secure a better enforcement
of the law', but so far have not been
able to get results. It Is possible that
the situation existing in regard to li
quor and gambling had something to
do with bringing in the soldiers, but
as to this the Anchorage officials have
maintained a discreet silence.—Sew

SEVERAL ASPIRANTS FOR
FOR POLITICAL HONORS.
Who will be the next speaker of the
house of representatives of the Alaska
assembly, and the president of the
senate? That is now an interesting
question with members and prospec
tive members. Last assembly Suther
land was president of the senate and
E. B. Collins speaker in the house.
Collins was defeated for re-election
from the Fourth division.
Frank Aldrich is the Democratic as
pirant for president of the senate,
and W. T. Burns, of the Fourth divi
sion, is the Democratic candidate for
speaker of the house. The Republi
cans have a majority of one in both
the house and senate, and it would
seem that by a unanimous vote they
could name most of the legislative of
ficers. No doubt there will be some
lively caucuses held in Juneau before
the legislature convenes to determine
the presiding officers and the clerk
of the house and senate and other
leading officers and employees. Ex.

correspondent of the Associated Press
has interviewed the Right Hon. James
Gallagher, lord mayor of Dublin, in
reference to the statements which
have been made regarding a supposed
exceptional state of distress in the
city due to the April rebellion, and its
suppression.
The lord mayor said: “We are ab
solutely better off this year than last
year, notwithstanding the rebellion.
There is, as far as I can see, no excep
tional distress at all. There is, on the
contrary, a good deal of money com
ing into the city for separation allow
ances for the dependents of the men,
most of them of the working classes,
who joined the army, information ob
tained from various traders in the city
enable me to say that trade is as good
if not better than it was twelve months
ago. Moreover, employment has been
added to owing to the amount of mu
nition work done in the city. We have
five or six factories each employing
from one hundred to six hundred
hands. Women are earning very good
wages, nnd Dublin women have proved
very adaptable in shell making. The
result is that the government is able
to turn out shells in Dublin and in
Ireland generally cheaper than it can
do it in England.”

IN BRAZIL ON
HOOKWORM
SAO PAULO, Brazil, Nov. 27. —
Health authorities of the state of Rio
de Janeiro announced today that they
would accept the offer of the Inter
national Health Board of the Rocke
feller Foundation, which proposes to
co-operate with the Brazilian govern
ment in a campaign to be waged
against the hookworm. It is estimated
that hundreds of thousands of labor
ers and others are suffering from the
effects of this parasite, which is sap
ping their vigor and decreasing the
crop output by at least 100 per cent.
Dr. Lewis Wendell Hackett, of Har
vard University, who is one of the
staff of physicians sent out by the
Foundation, arrived here from New
York a short time ago, and as a result
of his conferences with the authori
ties here, the announcement of the
campaign W'as made. This is of par
ticular interest to the planters of the
state of Sao Paul, where three-quarters
of the coffee crop of Brazil and nearly
one-half of that of the world is grown.
A coffee plantation is one of the
greatest known breeders of the hook
worm. The trees grow on a very wet
soil in a rolling or hilly country, and
as they require shade, the ground un
derneath is in a continuous soggy con
dition. Here the dangerous worm pro
pagates with great rapidity, anti is in
troduced into the system of the hu
mans through the bare feet of the
crop pickers and cultivators.
