Tbe company was establish ed iu 1802, employed about 850 men and had an output of 10,000 sheep, 20,000 cattle and 800,000 hogs. W.W. Masou, manager of the concern, re ceived orders to close down two days ago aud gave as a reason for tbe or der: "Newspaper critioism and ad verse legislation." Mr. Masou and his concern may go out of business, iu fact will go out of business unless tbe law is obeyed. But theie will be men found who can conduct tne pack ing business on the square and at a profit. The demand for packing house products remains just the same but these produots must be pure and wholosome, and if Mr. Mason and bis ilk cannot give them to us.clean busi noBS men with capital to invest will eugage in a legitimate packing in dustry. If you pass along thojbusiness streets of a town, asserts a thrifty "booster," and the business men are disposed to sing the praises of their associates, yon have struck a good town. It is a good town for business, for homes a good town for schools, churohes, pub lio improvement and general muncipal wellboing. If the merchants com plain that the bankers buy goods in Chicago, if the doctors charge the law yers with dishonesty, if tbe druggist claims the lumbor dealer is a robber iu short, if there exists a cold-blooded, every-fellow-for-himself attitude, you have struck a town that noods shak ing up. If you live in a good town, got iu touch with the spirit of recipro city and the uuited-we-staud policy. Hairy Thaw has been held to the gruud jury.

So generous are those provi sions and so common that hardly one farmer in teu makes any account of them, although the ordinary business man thinks be has done well when he reaches the end of & year and finds that be has a little more (ban made ends meet. Alaska coal will play an important feature in tbe development of that im mense territory in years to come. Al ready it may be safely said that from St. Michaels at the mouth of the Yu kon river to Bennett City, nearly 2000 miles distant, the entire stretch of in tervening country could be supplied with Alaska coal. Another big strike of importance is heralded from the Atliu district The Atlin Toogo Coal Syndicate have uncovered immense seams of coal on the Togoao river and further development work will be continued throughout the summer months. Thetime has long gone by wheu tbe office sought the man, and wo find ourselves in the strenuous political pres eut where the man too modest to an nounce his candidacy or does so only "after the earnest solicitation of my numerous friends" etc., bad better re main in seclusion for political frosts freeze. Tbe present demands men of action, men who have the courage of their couviotions and who can and will wield the "big stick" if neces sary, men who are enemies of all forms of graft and men who are clean politically, and last and most impor tant of all, meu who are sober all the time and have at least the ordinary amount of intelligence.
