OUR MAIL »KRTWK
The Daily Alaskaa spoke a few
days ago about the rotten mail ser
vice that is being handed out to
Skagway by Incompetent or careless
federal employee la Seattle. Con
lirmatiou ol the truthfulness of
our statement, if any is needed, is
furnished by th« Ketchikan. Miner
of a recent date, which say*;
"After being just about 96 hours
on tha Tray, the fast and furious
steamev Bertha, made port last
night about seven o'clock from the
south. The joke of the whole thing
■was the fact that th« Seattle post
office had put mail on har, not
withstanding her speed record and
the fact that two vessels, t^e Jef
ferson tnd Alameda, were leaving
so soon after her that they both
beat her up on the trip.''
MORE DEADLY THAN LIONS
Hunting in the woods of the
United States, where the timi-d
deer is the game chiefly
sought and there is no beast more
formidable than a lynx, a wolf o.
a black bear, (not to be feared by
any man with a stout stick and
knowledge of bruin's disposition),
is much more dangerous, it appears
than the chas« of the lion in
Africa. The casualty lists, to bor
row the familiar military phrase,
prove that American hunters are
more deadly to themselves and to
oue auother than any wild animal
is to man.
Jn the briei aeer saocung
which has just ended tweuty-four
hunters were killed in Wisconsin.
thirteeu in Michigan and eleven in
Minnesota. Many others were
wounded, some of whom will die
In Maine New Yor& and other
status where deer are found and
amateur sportsmen abound, similar
death lists are being made up. In
the whole country it will probably
be found that - fully one hundred
men were killed in the short open
season for deer, while more than
as many others have been fatally
shot in the pnrsult of smaller janif,
such as quail and rabbits.
There is no such mortality
among hunters who shoot lions in
Ariea. Even in proportion to the
number of men engaged In the
sport, the deai-h list, as far as the
^ork of the lions goas, is probably
shorter than the one which con
tains the names of the victims of
the annual hunting season in the
I'nited States. No beast is half
so deadly as a rifle, or even a shot
gun. in the hands of a person unfit
to be '.rusted with such a weapon.
WAR PRICES FOR FOOD
Iu one of the great countries
involved iu the European war, a
country which ordinarily exports
r:ither than imports grain, the
market price of wheat has risen to
?2.50 a bushel. Sales have been
made at that price in Vienna.
Such conditions, with the war
only four months old, do not mean
that Austria-Hungary will be
starved into helplessness op that
tnere will be any lack of food for
the armies of the dual monarchy
Tiie soldiers will be fed. Enough
food will be obtained to maintain
the industrial and commercial
effectiveness of the country, as far
as war permits the usual occupa
tions of the people to be carried
on. But it is plain that where
wheat sells for |2.5e a bushel and
there is great derangement of
trade and business °f almost all
kinds because of the war, the suf
ferings of the poor will be terrible.
No government can meet all of
the demands which a vast war and
the resulting abnormal poverty
and industrial stagaation malte
upon its resources, it Is too much
beset by problems calling for In
stant attentioa and prolonged and
strenuous effort. Austria-Hungary
is not different in that respect
from other nations at war. Every
where the needs of the army and
the navy come first, and every
where the poor inust find existence
harder as the cost of food increases.
Not all of tha suffering w^fch
war causes is eeen or known by
the men who do the fighting, or
even by their families at home.
Some of the worst of it drowns
many of the tenth in big cities
rightly called "submerged," even
in the best of times.
