STATIONERY CANDY
TELEGRAPH MAN
RUNS AMUCK AT
TRAIL STATION
•Joe Zaglynzny, member of the
signal corps, is enroute to Fairbanks
from his station at Donnellys with
a bullet wound in his abdomen, the
result of a shooting affray which
took place at a late hour last night
or early this morning. Elbert S.
Kennedy, operator in charge of the
station, also is wounded, a bullet
having hit him in the shoulder, but
!his injury is not serious.
According to the story which
came over the wires this morning,
! Zaglynzny seemed to lose his mental
balance, and without nis condition
| being known to th two other boys
a. the station, he appeared sudden
ly in the house with a gun and be
igan shooting. Kennedy and the
.other man at the station managed
to escape without being hit and
made their way to Donnelly’s road
jhouse, about a mile up the trail.
Returning to the station later, Ken
i nedy found that the condition of
j Zaglynzny's min i had not improved.
He was about to enter the building
! when Zaglynzny opened lire from
j within, hitting the operator in the
j shoulder. Kennedy was inside by
•that time, and before his companion
j could take another shot at him, lie
I had grabbed up a Springfield rifle
jand tired a shot into the abdomen
lof the unbalanced lineman, sending
him to the floor.
As soon as it was possible to do
so7 Kennedy started to town with
|Zaglynzny, and Dr. .J. A. Suther
'land started out the trail from town
‘to meet them.

MIDDLEMEN ARE
RESPONSIBLE FOR
PRICE ADVANCES
Commission men, wholesalers anJ
others through whoso hamis provi
sions pass before they reach the
consumer are responsible for exist
ing high prices, according to Ed
Wolcott, secretary to Judge Charles
E. Bunnell, who returned to Fair
banks yesterday from a several
weeks' stay in Central California,
where he owns a fruit ranch.
Wolcott says he made a study of
price conditions in Fresno county,
where his ranch is located, and
made some very startling discov
eries. He found that prunes com
mand a price of 1 1 cents a pound
in the orchards, and retail in the
stores in California at '.52' cents, a
gain of 21 cents a pound between
the time they leave the hands of
the grower and their sale to the
consumer. Other products of the
Poppy state experience similar
changes in price on the way to mar
ket, the price to the consumer usu
ally being several times that paid
originally to the grower.
The explanation is that commis
sion men and wholesalers, and oth
ers who handle (he fruit, make the
consumer pay excess profit and in
come taxes, in addition to the over
head and other costs of carrying on
their business. Wolcott believes,
and he says, there are many others
in California who believe as he
does, that the middlmen are chiefly
responsible for the high cost of liv
ing, through manipulation of prices
in such a way as to shift the bur
den of taxes to the consumer, in
stead of paying the taxes themselves
as the Government intended they
should.
cut, while the evasion of the
excess profit and income tax laws
i is quite apparent to those who have
' looked into the matter, there does
i
not appear to be any immediate re
i lief in siftht. If there is a remedy,
.the Government apparently has not
j yet discovered it.
Wolcott says there appears to be
Ja healthy demand for labor of all
• kinds in California—plenty of work
