CANNERY CONTRIBUTIONS TO
PROSPERITY.
The statement ct£ August Buschmann that the
Pot A1 thorp cannery had expended for Alaska labor.
Alaska taxes and for material and supplier purchased
Jrom Alaskans approximately $67,000 last year and
that it would have expended $11,000 more if it had
been able to jjrocure lxix ahooks from Alaska mills Is
direct refutation of the statement often heard that
Ala. ka gets nothing In the way of trade or otherwise
lrcni the canneries. This is the record cf just one of
about two score canneries that were operated in
Southeastern Alaska laft year. It would be con
servative to estimate that all the canneries of South
eastern Alaska paid out in tills Territory for ther items
mentioned in excess of $2,600,000. In other words
the cannery expenditure: in this section of Alaska
amounted to $200 or more for each adult person of
the population cf the hirst. Division,
Could we have better proof that the cannery
business is a very important factor in Southeastern
Alaska prosperity and that it is worth saving?
When one consider: this statement in connec
tion with one made by Mr. Robertson which showed
that cf fifteen canneries which he represents in
Alaska only two had made any proltt in the Iasi
four-year period it ought to suggest great care in
dealing with this Industry. Both the fisheries and
mining Industries in Alaska have he n operating on
prwaiions foundation during recent years.
METROPOLITAN TRAFFIC PROBLEMS.
The infrumunicipal traffic rnyblem ic> constant!'
present In the larger cities:. The multitude of people
that must go front one place to another within tht
city and the tremendous amount of freight anti
packages and messages requiring transfer have pre
sented perplexing difficulties to those who have been
called iilx>11 to manage metropolitan affairs.
in coping with thee matters New York hat
usually led. Naturally so, because 1 dug the great
est and most populous center of urh t . residents in
the history of the world, she lias hail tin m presente.I
to her fir.!. She was first to have th "truffle cop,'
and the 'Broadway Squad" became known through
out the' country. She whs first to have the 1/
trains and in the course of time these were follower
by the subway.
But again the day traffic on Now York street!
Is becoming so large that new methods are beinp
soight. It Is pointed out that at noon traffic paeee;
I-;fti Avenue and Forty-second Street at the rati
ot 3,(inn vehicle; an hour, and at other points it is
o-wely loss. Added to this are the throngs of people
u'lrt’ fl,p ‘■'dow.ilks and crossings. The motor vehicles
o\ r d in Manhattan Borough number about 120,000
ar i in Grsatei New York about 320,000.
i comparison of this condition with the lightness
ot the traffic after midnight has suggested that the
municipality require most of the freighting to be
one at night. It is beleived that such will be the
next Important change In Gotham traffic regulations,
t s conceded that r-uch a regulation would relieve
the situation for the present, at least, by removing
hat part of the traffic from the busier streets at
the time of day when they are used most.
KAM TO MAKE PRESIDENTS NOW AND
PEOPLE ARE DOING IT.
It is easy to nominate a candidate for President
and elect him a year before the primaries and a year
aiid-a-half before the balloting That is probably
' h> so many are engaged in doing that now. This
far in advance of the National conventions, the
imprrtanc' of little things is «, highly valued that
v. e are fed upon gossip about which the most im
prerrive thing is. the manner in which it is told
For instance, we hear that Wilson and McAdoo
are at outs and for that reason McAdoo is eliminated
tern anj chance for the Presidency. Proof? Whv
didn't Wihon and McAdoo endorse different men for
the Senator hip from Colorado? Didn’t someone say
once upon a time that one day, time unknown Wil
son and George Brennan were talking and the former
raM^ r,at T P°im the coursp the convor
eatinto, Damn McAdoo?"

CAPTAIN TUTTLE, SAILOR OF THE OLD

Captain Tuttle of the United States Revenue Cut
iter (now Coast Guard) Service, who died early this
week on Puget Sound, was a sailor of the old school
■Bluff and picturesque in appearance and manner, di

absolutely fearless in the discharge of duty and In

by thousands who knew- him in life and sincerely
mourn for him in death.

It is announced that the jlritish Government will
pay the $69,000,000 interest that will be duo the

amount of bonds delivered.

Announcement that Secretary of the Interior
Hubert Work and Secretary of Agriculture Henry
Wallace will make a joint tour of Alaska this
rummer holds promise of many needed reforms in the
Northland. These two ca'binet officer? control most of
the thirty-eight Federal bureaus that rule the Terri
tory.
In the past, between the Interior and the Agri
cultural Departments there has been rivalry over sup
ervision of resources and direction of activities, with
the result that in important matters there are num
erous instances of dual and conflicting authority.
For instance, the Interior Department with jurisdic
tion over public lands and the Agricultural Depart
ment in charge of national forests function largely in
the same areas. Interior Department bureaus, like
mines and Indian affairs, prosecute a great amount
of work In dstrirts under the Agricultural Depart
ment's Forestry Bureau, which has reserved 20,000,
000 acres along to. coasts, the most accessible parts
of Alaska. Departmental jurisdiction and supervisory
lights, often puzzling to bureau officials themselves,
are utterly confusing to citizens generally and have
operated against the development of every resource
and every part of the Territory.
Recognizing the evi's cf the northern situation.
Proident Harding early in his administration favored
putting all tiie affair,- of Alaska, except her fisheries,
j under tho Depar*"’""t of the' Interior, hut bureau
chic! that would have been affected adver. : ly aroused,
i both inside and outside Government circles, such op
1 Hion in th< executive’s proposal that nothing was
done concerning ii.
From the President's suggestion, however, has de
veloped an earnest desire on the part of his sub
i dfnates to co-operate in Aiasioan affairs. Federal
I officials have come to realize that the Government'p
paternal policy prevents indivdual initiative, and they
re disposed to be generous in their interpretation
cl restrictive legislation in order to encourage private
enterprise. But so long as bureaucratic discretion,
rather than liberal law, controls in the Northland its
resources must await development.
The Interior and Agricultural .Secretaries on their
vhit (o Alaska will see one of the world's great,
rensure vaults. They hold the key to it. If so jn
• HiK-d. they can open homo of its riches to till
-operation. ’

(New York Post.)
■Tohn Drew lias won fairly the honor conferre I
u|Kni him by the great lio.-t of his personal friends
rind public admirers. For fifty years he has con
tributed largely to the enjoyment of all intelligent
playgoers and incidentally to the credit of the pro
terslon of which for so long he has been the ornament.
Throughout his life lie has been a faithful, conscien
tious, able worker, and his career, though running
co 11 stnnly in the limelight, has never been tainted
by any breath of scandal. Not only his skill in his
own craft but Ills character as a man justified Ills
selection to the chief seat among the players that
was once occupied by Edwin Booth,
If he is not quite entitled to take rank with the
very hrig'htos.t stars in the theatriral firmament, ho
i as shone in his own sphere with a very steady lustre.
For almost half a century he has been reckoned
anong the most pleasing and expert interpreters of
the heroes of modern light comedy, from the early
lays of Pinero to those of Somerset Maugham. His
successes in that line were innumerable and were
due as much to his artistry as to his own vein of
original humor. They proved, in one Bense, an
obstacle to hU progress in the more imaginative
characters of the more literary, artifical, or romantic
comedy. In Benedick he fell a little short of tri
umph, but he won distinction in the brilliant part
' i Charles Surface, associated with such names as
Lester Wallack and Charles Coghlan. Ills fame
must always rest largely upon his notable achieve
ments with Augustin Daly, but it suffered no abate
men under the Fro h man management and was
perhaps even more firmly established by such pieces
a:i ' Rosemary" and "The Liars."
He is a well graced actor If over there was one,
and. happily, there Is no need now to allude to his
leaving the ^|«go. Soon he la to play Sir Peter
Teazle. Everybody will hope that this" may prove
the mas'.erpiece cf hp creation and that he may live
to embody it and other parts of eld Tor many hlippy
years.
