ALASKA'S AURIC V LTl' HA I. COLLEUK
The first bulletin of the Alaska Agricultural College and School of
Mines came to our desk the other day. It Is a modest little volume( indi
cative ot the fact that the College is new and has no stock of traditions,
and has not such a glorious prospect for the next few years. Those who be
lieve In Alaska—and there are many who do—will be very ready to say that
the time will come when this little bulletin will be held up as the Illus
tration of tuo modisty with which Alaska began her career as the higher
educational force in luis territory.
And few will question that such things can and will happen in this
Northland. In visiou some see the stalwart young men and women of this
Territory taking their places along side of their fellows of the South, und.
outdistancing them in the race of life, because of (he great start which na
ture gave them in their early years.
The course of study as outiined in this bulletin, will consist of four
year courses in Agriculture. Home Economics, General Science, Civil En
gineering, Mining Engineering.
Hon. Clianes E. Bunnell, A. M. (Bucknell) is president with a faculty
of six mem er.- drawn from graduates of various colleges, three of wbon
have done master's work in the subjects they are to teach.
Congress aud the Territorial Legislature are back of the college an 1
there is every reason to believe that the future of the institution is assured,
though it will take time and skillful management to build up a student
tody and au esprit de turps such as a new institution. It is very certain
that every individual interested in Alaska will hope for steady und splen
uid progress for this newest of our best institutions of the North.
TUT REPORT OX BKITISH CODE—Chief Justice Taft has returned
from his visit to London and is at his summer home in Quebec. It is said
hi will soou begin the preparation of a report on the British law code to
be used as a guide inrevising legal precedure in this country. Mr. Taft will
have rendered a great public service if his trip abroad and the investiga
tions he has made actually result In a simplification of legal practice in the
I'nued States. The facility with which British courts dispense justice is a
revelation to those familiar only with our own methods. A most recent il
lustration is the trial, conviction, and sentence of the assassins of Field
Marshal Wilson within three weeks of the commission of the crime. In
tie United States it is a common practice for murder prosecutions to drag
along for months and even years before the murderer finally pays the pen
alty, even though he may be caught red-handed, with plenty of eye wit
nesses to testify to his guilt.—Selected.
Emma Goldman, deported from the Vnited States, driven out cf }{us
sia. scorned all over the world, has beeu refused admittance to Great Brit
fan. Mr. Debs talked some time ago of taking a trip to Russia, but we
notice he likes the United States well enough to stay here. He does not
want to follow in the footsteps of Emma.
I'OISK. NOT CLOTHES,
M.VKK WO.MAEN DRESSY
Woi.ien who "haven't anything to
wear' will Jeel better about it after
seeing Gladys Walton in "Rich Girl.
1'oor tlirl." The little Universal star
has a dual role; one as a rich girl
and tiie other characterization is that
of a little gutter-girl who wears
tattered rags.
Not every girl can look appearing
in but Miss Walton wears them
with u wistfulness that makes them
actually becoming.
"It isn't so much what you wear,"
said liss Walton recently, "as the
way y«u wear it, that makes all the
difference in the world. Some women
can lend queenly dignity to a shirt-;
waist .aid skirt, while others will ap
pear dowdy in spite of the draper j
and dressmaker. Many little shop1
girls in the big cities appear smarter!
in tlieir inexpensive clothes than j
many of their patrons who have un
limited charge accounts and can sat-1
isfv all their whims in the way of
material and design."
Considering her extreme youth.
Gladys Walton has already estab
lished quite a reputation for taste inn
her apparel. While she Is only called ;
upon to wear clothes of the flapper j
type. .ier costumes are all character j
iaed by a certain Individuality and
chic which win the admiraton of the
feminine portion of the audience.
Miss Walton designs all her own
costumes. and those who saw her in
"La La Lucille." "The Secret Gift."
"Pink Tights." and "Risky Business"
will look forward to another oscular
treat in "Rich Girl, Poor Girl."

ALASKA HERRING
IS PREFERRED TO
THAT OK EUROPE
Thai Alaska herring will have a
market in the United States in pref
erence to that from Europe, Is the
declaration of Elnar Beyer, one of
Alaska's largest packers and Jeal6rs
in that fish. Alaska's product, de
clares Mr. Beyer, is so far superior
to the Scotch and continental Euro
pean herring that they are Incom
parable. New York purchasers were
forced last year to buy Alaska her
ring on account of the fact that tiie
European pack last year was so far
below the standard and the superior
ity of Alsaka herring over chat of
Europe when at its best was dis
covered.
Mr. Beyer Is planning on handling
more than 40,000 barrels of herring
this year in addition to the packs
of his own plants. Most of this will
come irom Southeastern Alaska,
though lie will also get herring from
the Westward.
That Southeastern Alaska will
produce 100,000 barrels or herring
this year, is the estimate of Mr. Buy
er. It could, he says, pack 1,
000,000 barrels without at oil im
perilling the supply.
Herring Is now selling for from
$1G to $19 a barrel. At this flg>ire
1.000,000 barrels would bring imo
the Territory from $17,000,000 to
$1S,000,000 in addition to vast
sums for the oil, fertilizer and other
by-products.
That the herring fisheries of Al
aska will produce more than the
salmon fisheries one of jliesu days,
is the conviction of Mr. Bmer, and
when that time comes the fishing
season will be extended to nine or
ten months a year instead of for a
few months in the summer time.
The herring seasan is now f.t'rl"
:inder way in Southeastern Alaska,
and it should continue until welt In
to the winter.
CAXXERY TENDER
WITH BIG LOAD
OF FISH SIXES
The cannery tender Empress with
u cargo of 7,000 salmon, was sunk
this morning shortly after 1 o'clock
off Angle 1'oint, Bold island, when
rammed by the gas power boat Vega.
The loss, which is suffered by the
Annette Island Packing company,
owner of the Empress, is estimated
at $5,000 for the boat and $500 for
the fish. The Vega Is owned by C.
A. Rurkhardt.
The empress wac coming north
from Sneton bay with a cargo of
fish and was bound for Ketchikan, to
discharge as the Stuart Packing com
pany. The Vega was going sout'i
to Sneton bay.
When the Vega rammed the Em
press. It tore off the stern of the lat
ter boat. Lines were throwu out im
mediately, but it was so badly dam
aged that it sank in forty fathoms
of water in about two minutes.
F. H. Simonds was master of the
Empress and Mike Ukopina was
master of the Vega.
As to which of the boats was to
blame for the accident, is question
able, It is said, each contending that
the other was at fault.
Continued activity In the oil lands
of the Territory is indicated by the
permits for leasing and prospecting
which were recently granted by the
Department of Interior and have just
been received at the local U.S. land
office. Twenty-two such permits are
being mailed out from th local of
fice today which cover a total of
54.3G1 acres int four localities.
Two damage suits for alleged per-!
sonal injuries eggregating $12,500 {
have been filed In the U. S. '
District Court against the Alaska ]
Steams' ip Company. Both suits are I
based on alleged accidents to steve
dores on the company's freight ves
sel Latouche.
In one of the actions John Scan-]
Ion. plaintiff, asks for an award of
J2.500 for an Injured foot and leg
allegid to have been suffered while
working on the Latouche here on j
April 24. last. The complaint de
clares that Scanlon. while working
at a sling, was struck by a falling
wood and Iron light frame which
was carried away from a masthead
by the fall of an iron blocq or
tackle. He alleges negligence of the
company.
The second suit was brought by
Bernard McHugh who asks $10,000
for injuries aJleged to have been In
flicted to his foot while unloading
coal at Ketchikan on March 8, 1922.
McHuch claims to have been per
manently injured. XVickersham &
Kehoe represent the plaintiffs.

Decides Against
Ketchikan Suit
Court Refused To Issue Order foi
Sale of Real Estate to Pay Assess.
Menls, Except Against R. L. Petty.
In (he district court at Juneau,
Judge T. M. Reed has handed down
a decision whereiu he refuses to Is
sue an order of sale for the real
estate of a number of Ketchikan
property holders who objected to the
assessments on their holdings. The
court made only one exception as tu
the objectors and that was R. L.
Petty, former mayor of Ketchikan,
who was chief executive of the city
at the time of the Installation ol
the sewer for which the assessment
was made.
During the time that Mayor Pet
ty was in office a sewer was buil!
up Bawden street and afterward as
sessments were made on property
owners who the city alleged were
liable for part of the cost. They
refulsed to pay and when the city
took the watter into the district
court they appeared with counsel
and objector. The case look several
days of the court's time and de
cision was reserved by Judge Reed.
It is reported that the court in
making its decision issued an ordei
of sale as to R. L. Petty on the
ground that he was mayor of the
city at the time and responsible in
part at least for the work in thai
he had given It his approval.
Some seventeen or eighteen hun
dred dollars were involved in the
suit, it is said.
ENGLAND'S PREMIER
SERVES AS ADVISER
FOR PRINCE ALBERT
London, Aug. 4.—David Lloyd
George. England's prime minister,
hus many tough nuts to crack, but
few people realize that he acts as
adviser to the youthful Prince ol
Wales.
The prime minister and the prince
are chums. The prime minister looks
upon the prince as a wholesome
young friend and treats him as such,
and those who are close to Bucking
ham Palace say that the democratic
manner which the prime minister
adopts toward the prince has made
him the closcst friend the prince has,
Lloyd George doesn't treat the
prince like a prince, and this youth
ful heir to the throne appreciates
and delights in conversing with the
premier as man to man.
The prince has many problems ol
his own, and It is generally under
stood that when he wants advice on
his difficulties he goes to the prime
minister and gets his views5—views
which' are a little broader perhaps
than those which he could secure in
the close confines of the royal palace.
The prince, it is reported, has even
taken some of his affairs of the
heart to the prime minister for so
lution.
Engagement Expected
Prior to the return of t'ie prince
from his Asiatic tour there were
very well-founded reports that his
engagement would be announced
shortly after bis arrival. The names
of at least two popular English
womon of nobility were mentioned
frequently, and all England waa
waiting for the formal announce
ment.
The prince came home but no en
gagement was announced. It is
known that members of the royal
family feel that the time for tha
marriage of the prince is at *hand.
It has even been rumored that ef
forts have been made to hasten the
prince in his selection of a bride,
and there are unfounded reports that
some persons high In royal circles
have gone so far as to actually pro
pose certain alliances to the prince.
The prince is a youth who makes
up Ills own mind, who has a will
of his own. and there is little doubt
but what he will insist upon the right
of choosing his own wife, desp te
any pressure that may be brought
to bear upon hm.
The, prince has been a frequent
visitor of Downing street since his
return from Japan, and he has had
numerous conferences with his "pal"
the prime minister, and popular re
port has it that there has been a
good deal of sound fatherly advice
handed out at No. 10 Downing street
relative to royal affairs de coeur.

l'ISKDICTH EARTHQUAKE
WILL STARTLE WORLD
Philadelphia, Aug. 12.—This old
world will be turned topsy turvy in
30 duys, Dr. M. A. Nobles, famous
geologist, predated today. A series
(of earthquakes starting at Budapest
will destroy California, Northern Af
rica, Europe and Asia, he said. 1 he
Eastern part of the United tSates
will be spared, according to Nobles.
DR. CHASE SAYS
OIL AND COAL
OUTLOOK GOOD
Dr. W. H. Chase, the well known
Cordova physician, who is known
as a big game hunter and who is in
terested in coal and oil, is bound for
Seattle io meet some friends who
are going North to fount and take
pictures. He is alss going south in
connection with his oil holdings at
Yakataga and other fields.
"There is no question about the
Cold Bay Country." said Dr. Chase.
"Its future as an oil producing coun
try seems assured. Likewise at Iva
talla, conditions appear more favor
able all the time. Only a few days
ago they brought in another well
there at a depth of 800 feet.
"In our fields at Yakataga, parties
have some ground under lease and
option and are going ahead with the
results."
on the railroad which was financed
through efforts of Clark Davis and
associates, 125 men are at work near
Kataila, extending the line into the
coal fields, the physician says.
Washington. Aug: 11.—As a re
sult of experiments made by the Bu
reau of Mines, the geophone, a novel
instrument used amid the reek and
slaughter of the World War for the
detection of earth and rock sounds
made in the construction of military
mines and tunnels, promises to be
come an active fac'.or in the saving
of the lives of miners entombed as
(the result of tires and explosions. In
the course of tests conducted in the
bureaus' experimental coal mine near
Pittsburgh, Pa., blows with a sledge
on the coal face were heard, by
means of the geophone. at a distmo
of C50 feel, with various rooms and
entr.es intervening. On a suspend
ed pipe line, light hammering with
the knuckles was detected thAugh
150 feet of solid coal. By the use of
two geophones, one instrument to
each ear, it is possible to determine
the direction from which a sound is
coming through the earth, and thus
I to locale the approximate posit.ou
of the entombed miner. The bureau
gives recommendations for a signal
code of poundings by sledges or oth
er means which will establish com
munication between th erescuing par
ty and those entombed.
