NEW SPEED RECORD
For the first time in the history
of the United States, all of the ap
propriation bill had been reported
by the middle of January. Seven of
the nine bills have been passed by
both Houses. This is also a new;
record in speed. This accomplish-'
ment has brought about a Republi-1
can consolidation of appropriation'
committees in both House and Sen- j
ate and business-like handling of.
the work of the committees under1
the leadership of Congressman Mar
tin B. Madden, and Senator Fran-i
cis E. Warren, Chairman.
THE OFFSCOURINGS
At the end of the first half of
the legal immigration year, fif
teen nations had exhausted their
yearly quota of emigrants entitled
to admission to the United States.
Practically all of these countries
are in Southern Europe, from which
come least desirable immigrants.
Quite likely many efforts will be
made by citizens of these countries
to gain admission to tibe United
States either upon false pretenses
of being residents of a nation that
has not filled its quota, or by secret
entrance across an unguarded por
tion of the border. President Hard
ing made a wise suggestion when
he proposed that alien residents be
required To register. America has
not only the right .to say who shall
come in, but it is our duty to Am
ericans to see that any who come
in violation of law shall be sent
back. The man who comes in vio
lation of law cannot be expected to
have any respect for the laws after
getting here.
OLDTIMER OF NOME CAMP
LOSES LIFE BY SHOOTING
The Marshal's Office at Nome is
in receipt of information from St.
Michael say? the Nome Nugget
that J. D. Shelton was shot and
killed. It is presumed that the shoot-•
ir.g was accidental, but certain cir
cunfstances give rise to the susp:-!
cion that there may have been foul
play.
The shooting occurred at the
South Mouth of the Yukon river, in
the Wade Hampton District. The
wire received by the Marshal did
not state when the shooting oc^
curred.
Shelton was a well known Notne
ite and Kougaroker, having follow
ed mining for several years in these
sections, the town of Shelton in the
Kougarok was named after him, so
it is reported.

FRVE S DELICIOUS HAM
rye's
/Delicious
1 Hams and Bacon
A DIFFERENCE IN QUALITY
There is a big difference in the quality of the
hams, bacon and lard that you buy, just as there
is in the other food articles. You are sure to find
FRYE'S DELICIOUS HAM and FRYE'S DELI
CIOUS BACON quite superior to many othef
brands because of the great care we exercise in
the selection of the young porkers from which
they are made, then in the curing and finally in
the smoking.
Only young, tender pork cured in the best
white sugar and smoked just right in sweet hard
wood smoke has the rich tang of FRYE’S DELI
CIOUS HAM and FRYE’S DELICIOUS BACON
We strongly recommend to the housewife,
FRYE'S WILD ROSE LARD, which contains the
rich leaf and back fats not found in ordinary lards.
Most good Alaska dealers handle FRYE'S DE
LICIOUS BRAND HAMS and BACON and
FRYE’S WILD ROSE LARD. If yours does not
we would appreciate being advised of the fact.
