GRIGSBY INTRODUCES BILL
FOR BONE DRY REPEAL
Delegate George B. Grigsby has
introduced a bill in Congress pro
viding for the repeal of the Wick
ersham Alaska bone dry law. The
measure provides, however, that the :
Volstead prohibition enforcement i
act shall remain in full force and
effect in the territory.
The measure, if passed, would'
modify the situation in Alaska so |
that it would be possible to get al- j
cohol or alcoholic liquor for medid-1
nal, scientific or mechanical pur-.
poses. It would make the situation j
in Alaska exactly the same as in j
most of the states.
The bill, as introduced by the del- i
egate, reads as follows:
“Be it enacted by the senate and!
the house of representatives of the;
United States of America in con
gress assembled, That the act en
titled ‘An act to prohibit the man
ufacture or sale of alcoholic liquors
in the territory of Alaska, and for
other purposes’ approved February
14, 1917, be, and the same is hereby
repealed. Sec. i>. That nothing j
herein shall in any way affect the!
operation and enforcement of the ■
act entitled ‘An act to prohibit in- !
toxicating beverages and to regu-!
late the manufacture, production,'
use and sale of high proof spirits
for other than beverage purposes,'
and to insure an ample supply of
alcohol and promote its use in
sdentific research and in the devel- j
opment of fuel, and other lawful!
industries’, commonly known as the
Volstead act, in said territory.”

ANCHORAGE MAN RETURNS;
SAYS PRICES ON TOBOGGAN
Ray McDonald, of the Harmony
theater, in Anchorage, who return
ed to the railroad town very recent
ly from a business trip to Seattle,
claims, according: to the Anchorage
Times, that “a trip to the Outside
and a little view into business con
ditions as they there exist, is a
wonderful cure for Alaska discon
tents’. At the time he was in Seat
tle, there were no less than 8,000
idle men in the Spirit City.
Clothing stores all over Seattle,
the week before Christmas, adver
tised cuts of 50 per cent on over
coats and suits, a condition probably
never before experienced in that ’
city. And as for high-priced shoes, j
the showman asserts they are a
thing of the pest. Instead of the
$16 shoes of the early winter, good!
ones are now obtainable for $6. It
is generally a foregone conclusion,
he says, that dealers who have
conducted business along fair-weath-1
er lines, are going to have some j
pretty hard storms to meet.
In all this Mr. McDonald sees a
beneficent trend for Alaska. With
hundreds of men ready to keep the
wheels of development turning, the
North faces, he believes, a period of
new prosperity. In fact, he says,
nowhere else did he witness the solid
prosperity that now exists in the
coast towns of Alaska.
LOCAL REPUBLICANS WILL
HOLD MEETING THURSDAY
There will be an important meet
ing of the N'onana Republican club
on Thursday evening, at the quart
ers of the organization in the Union
building. The meeting will start
promptly at eight o’clock and all
members of the club are urged to
be on hand.
One Pair Did Not Wear Out!\
r[ was a scientific expedition composed of three
white men and five Indians.
They tramped clear across Labrador, five months of
that heart-breaking going through rough country
that simply means death to footwear.
One man wore Goodrich *‘Hi-Press” and the rest
wore—other makes.
And before the traverse was completed 'every sol
itary boot and shoe had worn out except Goodrich!
The chief of the party (who wore the Goodrich) sent
the shoes into us as proof. Y"ou should see them—
the corrugations on the sole are not all worn off.
There is no doubt of the superior wearing quality
of Goodrich Rubber Boots and Shoes. It has been
proven time and again.
Fishermen, laborers, hunters, miners all agree that
the footwear with the Red Line ’Round the Top
stands supreme for comfort and all around service.
