STATISTICS TO ORDER
A certain church board recently claimed that prohi
bition has increased the national wealth by 72 billion
dollars. On the other hand the National Industrial Con
ference Board gives statistics which indicate that prohi
bition has caused a decrease of 175 billion dollars.
Though we, prejudiced as we are, prefer to accept
the latter figures, the figures recalls a story of the late
publisher, E" W. Scripps, who decided to employ an ex
pert to compile some statistics on matters on national
importance, making an offer of $12,000 lor the job. I he
expert wired Mr. Scripps: . .
“Offer accepted. What do you want the statistics
to show? Can deliver to suit.”
Drinking can no more be stopped than a man kiss
ing a pretty maid. Or, using that famous saying; You
can fool a few people part of the time but you can’t
fool all the people all the time.” Or words to that effect.
Here is something strange. A miner will come in
to a town once in a while and report an assaj en his
ore ran all the way from $800 to $25,000 a ton; that all
he needs is money to open up his prospect. Now this is
what we were getting at; if such is the case why not
concentrate upon mining a ton of the high grade and
with the money so derived obtain the necessary backing.
SHEARER A HUMORIST
Those who have not read the testimony of William
B. Shearer have missed some sprightly repartee in
contemporaneous history.
Shearer is the man who is ' alleged to have stood
for bigger and better wars, at the request of big inter
ests. His case is now being investigated by a senate
committee. Testimony brought out by the investigation
is so conflicting that it is diffcult to judge what really
happened, but the affair has been enlivened to the point
of uproarious comedy by Shearer’s brilliant sallies.
And in these he has not spared his dignified senatorial
inquisitors.
Those who have followed the case must be convinc
ed that whatever Shearer may be,^ he is no fool. His
reply to one question illustrates his quick wit. Asked
whether he had threatened to kill one of his ship-buil
der employers, he shot back:
“I wouldn’t threaten to kill a man who owed me
money.”

SPOKANE, Wn. Oct., 23, (/P)
—While scientists ponder one of
nature’s freaks, Edward L. Peter
son chips ice#from his well here
during the hottest summer day,
and uses it to chill fruits and
vegetables.
Peterson’s father homesteaded |
the site in 1890, and used the
well as a storage refrigerator for
meat.
It is known that this well had
a part in the early history of the
Pacific northwest, for still further
back there was a trading post
of the Hudson Bay company.
During the struggle between fur
companies, the Hudson agents |
stored pelts in the ice well to pre- |
serve them during the summer.
The history of the well goes j
even further—to the prehistoric
days, probably, when a tremen- i
dons glacier slowly crunched its ;
way across the site that is now j
Spokane. Glacier rock formations j
can be seen all about this region
now.
The theory has been advanced
that a portion of the ice glacier
stayed here, buried miles deep in |
! the ground, and that the well
just taps the top of it. Other ;
j theorists have said that the ice
freezes in the well each winter.
NEW FOREMAN
Harry Nettleton, recently having
successfully passed civil service ex
aminations, has received the ap
pointment from the Civil Service
Commissioner at Washington, D. C.,
as maintenance foreman. Nettleton j
will have complete charge of main
taining the Eyak Lake Highway at
| Cordova for the Bureau of Public
| Roads and will try to keep the
road open the year round.
The Fairbanks News Miner re
ports that the body which
was seen floating down the Ta
nana river, has not been picked up
by observers.
