MORK ABOl'T OI K FLAGS
We suggest that our friend Mr.
A. N'onymous write another contribu
tion regarding the car® of the Un
ited States flag. It jis a disgrace
th« way some of our officials who
receive targe salaries and can. j af
ford new flags allow theai to fly
iu every wind, regardless of rain
ur shine,^and never think of taking
the flag down at night. They seem
to care no more for the flag than
they do for the washing that is
hanging from the,line iu the back
yard, and we doubt if they care
a« much. Toe pole from whiub the
flag flies in many cases is as crook
ed as the stick |which supports the
clothes line and waves, back a.ad
forth with whatever wind that
blows, jjust as does the clothes
pole. We repeat it is a disgrace to
SJcagway and a dishonor to the na
lion. To be slack iu one's duty to
ward th^uational emblem is punish
able by fine and imprisonment, and
is more Oj a breach of honor thaji
the slacker is from military duty.
The care of the flag u left to one's
own sense of loyalty, wbile in the
case of the slacker it is one of
compulsion. Some action should
toe taken regarding the care of Ska^
way's Jlags, and particularly the
flag which represents the city.
PEACE IS COMING FAST
From all appearances peace to
the world is coming fast. Due en
tirely to the United States having
•ntered the war. [Peace, however ii
not coming through the destruction
ot the enemy by the force of arms
ia the hands of the American sol
diers. On the contrary it is coming
oy Jreventing the enemy from get
ting the necessary supply with
iwhichfto prolong the war. The Un
ited states contributed, unconscious
ly perhaps more towards prolong
ing the war than all th© other na
tions put together, including the
•ations withjwhich we are at war.
Recent [discoveries of German in
trigues, with, or without the con
nivance of the so-called neutral • na
tions; like Sweden, shows that
Germany received most of her sup
port to keep [up the fighting from
th<e United Statos, which, la good
faith supplied the neutral .nations
with war supplies. As we have of
ten declared, had the United States
shut out |eyery port of the country
to exports at the beginning of th«
war, there would, [be no war today
to take (our best men to be
slaughtered. Yesgeac© ig coming
fast through hunger. A slow weap
on but much more powerful than the
gun. Barbarians are not subdued
wKh guns- But hunger fixes them.

VISITOR REPORTS OX ALASKA
(Anaconda Standard)
Mining is at low ebb in some
parts of Alaska, gays Frauk Bolton,
who [arrived in Buite yesterday
from Skagway, Alaska. However,
general I industrial conditions in
Alaska are good, |but gold mining
j is not a paying proposition la
{many places because of the demands
made by labor and the increased'
tost of supplies.
The canneries are [having a big
year and the fishing industj-y in
general is prospering.
"Awayjup in that northern coun
try they are taking just as keen an
interest in the war as we people
of the west are and Alaska, too,
has sent her (men to the colors,"
said Mr. Bolton.
He was not impressed with the
character Of the natives In Alaska.
He says they ar« a lower type of
the North American Indian.

The management at Treadwell,
fln-diug it impossible to maintain a
suitable dining room staff in the
big mess house, is considering se
curing a force of girls. Lately
four of the Japanese who have been
employed there so long they had a
corner on a large portion of the
circulating medium on the Island,
took thenr wealth and sailed away
for Japan, since which time wrinklta
have wiggled transverseley across
the former placid features of Stew
ard L. S. Ferris until they are be
coming permanent and all on ac
count of the'matter of suitable and
sufficient help In the messhouse. It
is realized that white male help for
$uch service is an unstable and un-i
certain quantity; that it is liable
to be either cultivating or recover
ing from a red one when most need
ed and in either case it is prone
to spill soup down the back of the
eatee. At any rate, girls for the
positions are being considred, and
after their installation it is believ
ed an ironing out will restore the
feature of Steward Ferris to their
firistine loveliness.—Douglas Island

chant of Steele Creek, Alaska, 011
the Fortymile river, who is here on
a vi^it, reports the Fortymile pros
perous, with, the usaul number of
miners. Only six men in the whole
American Fortymile were of mili
tary age. Kemp was a registrar,
but none were legible in his imme
diate vicinity. Of the 250 men in
tlie Fortymile region nearly all
Of them are old timers, beyond the
military age. Fortymile, he Bays,
