Ih» Petersburg (Alaska) Week
ly Report of Sept. 25th says: Pet
ersburg and Skagway are apparently
the only towns in Southeastern Al
aska maintaining active commercial
clubs. At least if such organiza
tioua in the other towns are doing
anything, or attempting to do
anMhing, the press keeps profound
ly quiet about it. There are eight
towns iu the southeastern portion
of this territory that should have
as.'i'e, wideawake booster clubs,
ready at all times to take advantage
of any opportunity to accomplish
something for the good of their re
strictive communities, and also to
co-oporate in the working out of
such propositions as give promise of
beuefit to Southeastern Alaska as
a whole. Two commercial clubs in
a 350-mile strip of territory can
not accomplish much; eight such
organizations could get bis results.
THE \VAll'S LU&SES
Nome Nugget: The story of the
war losses in men is beginning to
corae across the sea. Nothing like it
was ever read before. ''Only so many
million killed and wounded,'" is the
but den of the news. So many mil
lions killed to he!p enrich Some
mercenary banker, whose wealth al
ready far exceeds what it should; 30
many millions killed to add a new
country to the flag, so many mil
lions killed at the behest of a few
men at the head of the government;
so many millions maimed to be a
tax on friend and state so long as
they lire. And hoiv many million
hearts are broken because of those
dead. And what for? Nothing that
could not have been peaceably set
tled save for ambition, pride and
lust for more territory and more
power.
Will the result be a lifting up of
the people and insistence on their
part that they must be consulted
before the next war is sprung?
The men who cause the war are
very careful not to enlist. If they
do so it is as officers and to fill
places where the danger from the
dollars is the greatest.
Thousands of the fiuest, bravest
and best blood in the land goes in
to the soldiery, and is sacraficed at
the behest of some statesman.
If it could only stop war for all
times the sacrifice would not .be in
vaiu.
TAXING RESIDENT ALASKA
5 FISHERMEN
A recent decision of the terri
torial officials of Alaska, says the
Panama-Pacific International exposi
tion number of the Pacific Fisher
man for September, is to the ef
fect that codfish caught in the ter
ritorial waters must pay the lo
cal tax of "two and one-half cents
per 100 pounds on all fish salted or
mild cured, except herring."
There has been much talk of re
cent years in Alaska that fisher
men permanently resident in the ter
ritorv should befavored over their
brothers who merely fish in the
territory psrt of the year, but the
action, possibly unthinking, of the
legislature in this matter seems
to put a quietus on this.
The only codfish caught in the
territorial -waters cf Alaska are
those taken by fishermen living at
the shore stations 011 the Shumagin
and Satin a k groups and Unimafc Is
' laud. The first permanent fishing
'station to be located in Alaska
'since its purchase was a codfish
j station, and It was located at Pirate
' Cove, Popif Island, in 1876, and
this staion is still in operation.
' Moot of these stations are operated
the year around; at seasonal sta
tions the men are moved from
place to place as the fish are abund
ant or absent.
A fleet of Puget Sound and San
Francisco vessels also visits the
! Alaskan banks, but as theso fish
I more than three miles from shore
I they cannot be taxed by the terri
j tory, and as a result the companies
which have done more than any
ether agency to develop and settle
fishermen permanently in the Bec
tioiig noted abovq are taxed, while
their competitors, who have don#
nothing to develop the territory, es
cape scot free.
Lux is Just tho thing for doing
a little laundering while traveling.
Convenient to uso and sure and sate
