KKTOHIKAX ROAT SEIZED KY
CANADIAN' CUSTOMS OFFICERS
Word has boon received at the Ju
neau Customs House of the seizure
at Prince Rupert of the American
gasbont Portage of Ketchikan fop
failing to manifest its outward
hound cargo.
The l'ortage had taken on ten
cases of whiskey and had cleared for
Ketchikan when the collector of
customs for the port of Prince Ru
pert caught the vessel.
The master and crew of the Por
tligo came from Prince Rupert to
Ketchikan on the Princess Mary.
E. Herman, a London correspond
ent of the American Review writes
the following concerning:
Village liifc in Denmark.
ISjornson was wont to declare that
the Danish peasants are the most
enlightened peasants in Europe, and
Miss Kdith Sellers, who has recently
visited Denmark, adds to this enlo
giuiii that they arc also easily the
most happy and prosperous. Hhe
contrasts the dullness and sordiduess
of English village life with tho alert
ness and cheerfulness which makes
the atmosphere of a Danish village
so delightful.
"1 was never in a Danish cottage
where 1 did not find both newspa
pers and books, and I -never came
across a Danish peasant who did not
know more about England and her
colonies than any English agricul
tural labourer I have ever met."
Xor is it only in science and poli
tics that these peasants are interest
ed, but also in history and literature.
Two main factors contribute to this
result—the village meeting-house
and the peasants' high schools and
agricultural colleges. The villago
meeting house provides the social
center so sorely lacking in English
village life. It includes a library
and lecture hall, and it is noteworthy
that university professors and poli
ticians are always available as fife
lecturers. The high schrtols are quite
unique tn Denmark. Every year
some ten thousand students, one
third of whom are agricultural lab
orers. spend the "dead" months at
these high schools, coming back to
their village at the end of tile ses
sion to spread the light and try by
lecturing and leading in debates to
teach their comrades what they have
learnt. A charge of £S for board,
lodging, and tuition is made at these
schools, and the average peasant
student can afford this; for, thanks
to the excellent training at one of
the agricultural colleges, he finds
himself comfortably off, notwith
standing the untoward climate and
sour soil that he has to contend with.
Certain it is that Denmark can give
valuable "tips" to nations confront
ed with the work of reconstruction.
As far as England is concerned, at
any rate, the first step must be the
regeneration of her village life.

OLDTIMER GONE WRONG
Rill Irwin lias caught tlio spring
fever and become poetical. Sen what
he handed in for publication:
Tell me not in ragtime numbers
Life is but a vaudeville joke:
For the guy gets left who slumbers.
And the slothful gink goes broke.
Ijfe is speedy; life is hurried;
We must make the pace or bust.
And at that we're always worried
Lest <ve take some fellow's du?t.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
1 Makes us pause beside the way.
For we know we'll starve tomorrow
If we don't make good today.
Life is short, and time is beating
All past records in its flight;
Sone of mornings we'll bo meeting
Ourselves going home at night!
In the world's big game of grabbing
Everything that's worth two beans
Each of us is madly stabbing
At success—by any means.
Trust no man. but get the money!
Capture it, alive or dead.
Get it by fair mean—or phony—
Anything to get ahead!
Lives of grabbers all remind us
We must grab and graft and lieecc
Keeping one eye trained behind us.
Lest we're grabbed—by the police.
Grabbed, perhaps, and sent to lan
guish,
Where we'll wear a hall and chain
While the world mocks at our an
guish;
Mocks us and takes heart agaiu.
<L.et us, then, be up and doing,
•While the doing still is good.
For the guy whose wad we're woo
ing.
Sure would do us—if ho could.
The courts in Alaska and else
where are clogged with "booze"
cassea. The offenders are properly
fined in most cases, but there is one
little additional word in the statutes
that seems to be lost sight of. If
we recall, it is "imprisonment." Hut
it is not often applied to the big
booze venders.
Another Democrat has good eye
and can read the handwriting on t'le
wall. As a result the Democratic as
sistant District Attorney at Ketch
ikan, is soon to desert his post. He
states that John will soon be drink
ing his after-dinner Coffey over in
the railroad town of Anchorage
Fenley Hunter, a big game hunt
er of New York City, who brought
a prize bag of game out of the Cas
eiar two years ago, arrived in Wran
gell Tuesday. He will be joined this
week by L. M. Ball who has been in
Alaska some time, and the two will
make a trip into tho Iskut where
grizzlies are always plentiful.
