TO ARMS
The call for aid in defending Al
aska's hold on her fisheries against
the machinations of the cannery
owners, wlio are endeavoring to se
cure the passage of the Alexander
bill, should not fall on deaf ears.
Let a call he issued for a joint
S' i.-iicn of the commercial bodies o
Seward to take up the matter. Take
the lead in this attack.
Let the council of Seward as
sume the offensive and attack the
enemy in its own camp by pointing
out the crime whiih. is threatened
and 'he fallacy of the defense that
"tanned fish ccst more because of
the taxes paid by the canneries to
Alaska." | v'
It lias been said by men high in
authority that congress would un
doubtedly pass tins Alxae*der bill
or some bill similar to it at this
session. T he determination of the
fish packers to take away from Al
aska control of its' fish is based up
on greed and noth'ng else. Greed
miming wild.
Protits in the fish canning busi
ness are swollen out of all propqr
t:ou to tue profit in other lines.
But this is not enough for the
packers.
Alaska's fish have produced far
more, considering t':e money invest
ed, than has her mineral.
Now the packers want to take
frc-m the territory t'.ia share which!
they should pay toward its up
keep. , JI} ! Jj>
Next the big mining producers
will be trying: to evado the payment
of taxes. ' ; . J-J
When any private aggregation of
capital becomes t-o powerful that it
is a law unto itself and can thrust
upon those outside tl at the burdens
it mils' bear for the general welfare
<f the commonwealth, then it is
♦itae tr take sa'd private aggrega
tion by the neck—gently, but firm
ly.— Seward Tost.
A CHANCE FOK WOMEN
Is there an opportunity for Jvo
lupa in Alaska? Listen, and heed.
Hundreds of women annually mi
gra'e to the Northi to engag© in
some vocational work, and they
are married before they can be
come acquainted with either their
surroundings or 'heir husbands. As
an incubator for hymenal ventures,
Alaska has it over Reno, Nevada,
two wayg. There is no necessity
for a maiden to live a life of
single blessedness in the States
v.hen $50 will secure her a ticket
to Alaska and wedded bliss. And
tho pining young applicant for the
domestic washtub can take her
p'ck of the best in th.e land. She is
no* confined to a manicured male
of the city bargain counters, but
oau ge* a he-maa with hair enough
on hia face for her sofa pillow® and
a torso like a fii^tree, wl*h a heart
Mp- enough to assimilate all his
v.ife'a relations. Very few women
return unmarried from the North
land; and the few that get away
take a mean advantage by mushing
out while the boys are all out pros
uectiug. A chance for women? We
snculd shiver!

SHARK SKINS FOR LEATHER
Washington — The use of shark
skins as a substitute for leather is
being investigated by the bureau of
fisheries as a possible solution, of
the hi^h cost of leather.
Acceptable leather is already be
jni? made from these skins in some
foreign countries.
& FAIRLY FU££L£,L> m
THE fat plumber was acting qtieerly. The expression on
bis face, lu fact, was a mixture of mirth aud sobriety
that caused the thin carpenter to wonder what It was
all about.
"The fact Is," chuckled the plumber, "1 have been having
a hard time all morning trying to keep from laughing about
something that happened at our house last evening."
"Wife flud a dollar bill in an old drawer?"
"Nope. It was the chickens."
"What's fuuny about the chickens?"
"We bought a big watermelon for Sunday, aud when we
had a lot of it left over from dinner we took it out and gave
It to the young chickens."
"What was funny about that?"
"The way they acted. It was the first time they had ever
lasted watermelon, and they didn't know whether to eat It or
driuk It."- Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph.

Fairbanks, Dec. 13—Notice that|
the local decision by. which. W. H..
Wooldrldge was sent to. prison fori
seven years on a statutory crime, |
baa been reversed in the court of j
apoeals was received here today. j
Wooldridge was completely eson- I

Wooldridge cla'med that federal
officials fixed the case against
him on account of his activity;

Pay checks for hundreds of labor
ers on the government railroad are
held by the pay master at Anchor
age as "uncalled for."
In the last issue of the Alaska
.Railroad Record appears two full
columns of names in six pont type,
including over 500 men for whom '
checks have been :'ssued and are
3*111 to be deliverd.
Tnese checks range from a few
dollars for men who worked a day
or so on force account and then
quit un to checks for over $100.
Under the system used men put
on are given a time check and their
lime kept by number. When the pay
rolls are made out checks are is
sued for the amount due. In some
instances men quit and leave; in
o'bers they go to other sections of
tha work. K is probable that some
of the checks will never be called
for. Seme men who worked three
or four days and then left owing
to dissatisfaction, failed to call for
their time.
Some men leave their checks
with the pay master rather than
get them, realizing that the mon
ey is in safe hands.
Checks not called for during a
neriod of three years will be for
warded to the treasury, department.

THE QUEST
Not In
The sky afar,
Beyond the last
Pale star:—
Nor on
The earth below,
Among the things
That grow: —
Nor yet
Beneath the waves,
In the sea'3 dark.
Deep caves:—
But look
For God apart
From these, in youT
Own heart.
