CVNNERY CONTRIBUTIONS TO
PROSPERITY.
The statdnent of August Buschmann that the
1011 Althorp cannery hail expended for Alaska labor,
Alaska taxes and for material and suppling purchased
trout Alaskans approximately $67,000 last year and
tliat It would hat expended $11,000 more if It had
been able to procure box shooks from Alaska mills is 1,
direct refutation of .the statement often heard that (
Alaska gets nothing in the way of trade or otherwise i
from the canneries. This is the record of just one of i
about two score canneries that were operated in j 1
Southeastern Alaska last year. it would be con- I
servative to estimate that all lire canneries of South- j1
eastern Alaska paid out in this Territory lor the items j1
mentioned in excess of $2,600,000. In other words j
the cannery expenditures in this section of Alaska 1
amounted to $2u0 or more for each adult person of
the population of the First Division.
Could we have bitter proof that the cannery
business is a very important factor in Southeastern!
Alaska prosperity and that it is worth saving?
When one considers this statement in connec
tion with one made by Mr. Robertson which showed
that of fifteen cannerioe which lie represents In
Alaeka only two had made any profit in the last 1
four-year period it ought lo suggest great care in I
dealing with this industry. Both the tisherles and'
mining industries in Alaska have been operating on j
precarious foundations during recent years.
METROPOLITAN TRAFFIC PROBLEMS.
The intramuniclpul traffic problem is constantly!
present in the larger cities. The multitude of people
that must go from one place to another within thej
city and the tremendous amount of freight and;
packages and me ages requiring transfer have pre-j
sen ted perplexing difficulties to those who have been;
called upon to manage metropolitan affairs.
Jn coping with t hoc matters New York has,
usually led. Naturally so, because, being the great-j
eat and most populous center of urban residents ini
tiie history of the world, she has bad them nresenie.i;
In her lirs!. She was first to have the •‘traffic cop,-’
iuhI the Broadway Squad" became known through-,
out the country. Site was first to have the "L"
trains and in the course of time these were followed!
by the subways.
But again tin* day traffic on New York streets
1' beet mint? so large that new methods are being'
sought. It is pointed out tli.it at noon traffic pastes
Kifih Avenue and Forty-second Street at tile rate
of 3,000 vehicle, an hour, and at other points It is
scarcely less. Added to this are the throngs of people
using tilt1 sidewalks and cross!ngs. The motor vehicles
owned in .Manhattan Borough number about 1-0,0001
and in Greater New York aliout 320,000.
A comparison of this eoudftion with tin* lightness
of the traffic after midnight ha, suggested that the,
municipality require most of the freighting to lie ‘
done at night. It is heleived that such will he the
next Important change in Gotham traffic regulations.!
It is conceded that ruch a regulation would relieve!
flic situation for the pres nt, at least, by removing!
that part oi the traffic from tile busier streets at,
the time of day when they arc used most.

APTAIN TITTLE, SAILOR OF THE OLD
SCHOOL.
Captain Tuttle of the United States Revenue Cut
er (now Coast Guard) Service, who died early thit
iveek on Puget Sound, was a sailor of the old school
31uft' and picturesque in appearance und manner, di
■eet in action, thoroughly honest and trustworthy
rbsolutely fearless in the discharge of duty and in
jcrsonal conduct and as loyal in his friendships as
i child, he is remembered with pride and pleasure
ry thousands who knew him in life and sincerely
nourn for him in death.
The Greeks are said to be getting ready
to invade Turkey. They have apparently

It is announced that the British Government will
say the $09,000,000 interest that will be due the
Jnlted States June 15 in Liberty Bonds. While it
will not aid in meeting the expected deficit for the
Iscal year it will reduce the National debt by tlie
imount of bonds delivered.
Officials Can Help North.
(Seattle Times.)
Announcement that Secretary of the Interior
T u bert Work and Secretary of Agriculture Henry
A7 at lace will make a joint tour of Alaska this
lutnmer holds promise of many needed reforms in the
Northland. There two cabinet officers control most of
lie thirty-eight Federal bureaus that rule the Terri
,ory.
In the past, between the Interior and the Agri
cultural Departments there has been rivalry over sup
ivision ot resources and direction of activities, with
he result that in important matters there are num
11 our. instances of dual and conflicting authority,
'’or instance, the Interior Department with jutisdic
ion over public lands and the Agricultural Depart
nent in charge of national forests function largely in
he same areas. interior Department bureaus, like
nines and Indian affairs, prosecute a great amount
if work in dstricts under tlie Agricultural Depart
nent's Forestry Bureau, which has reserved 20,000,
100 acres along ilie coasts, tlie most accessible parts
il Alaska. Departmental jurisdiction and supervisory
•ights, often puzzling to bureau officials themselves,
ire utterly confusing to citizens generally and have
jperated against the development cl every resource
uni every part of the Territory.
Recognizing the evils of the northern situation,
President Harding early in tiis administration favored
putting all t lie affairs of Alaska, except her, fisheries,
under the Department of the' Interior, but bureau
’hiefs that would have been affected adversely aroused,
both inside and outside Government circles, such op
position to the executive's proposal that nothing was
lone concerning il.
From tile President's suggestion, however, lias de
veloped an earnest desire on the part of liis sub
ordinates to co-operate in AiasKan affairs. Federal
officials have come to realize that the Government'!
paternal policy prevents indivdual initiative, and thoy
nre disposed to he generous in their interpretation
-• restrictive legislation in order to encourage private
nterpriso. But so long as bureaucratic discretion
rather than liberal law, controls in the Northland its
resources must-await development.
Tlie Interior and Agricultural Secretaries on their
isit to Alaska will see one of the world's great
ieustire vaults. They hold the key to it. If so jn.
dined, they can open Dime of its riches to this
ioneratlou.
John Drew.
(New York Post.)
John Drew has won fairly the honor conferred
upon him by the great host of his personal friends
and public admirers. Fir fifty years he has con
tributed largely to the enjoyment of all intelligcm
playgoers and incidentally to the credit of the pro
fusion of which for so long he has been the ornament,
rhroughout Ills life he has been a faithful, conscien
tious, able worker, and bis career, though running
a> constanly in the limelight, has never been tainted
>y any breath of scandal. Not only his skill In his
nvn craft hut his character as a man justified his
election to the chief seat among the players that
vas once occupied by Edwin Booth.
If he is not i|iiite entitled to take rank with the
■cry brightest stars in the theatrical firmament, he
as shone in his own sphere with a very steady lustre,
’or almost half a century he has been reckoned

ho heroes or modern light comedy, from the early
lays of Pinero to those of Somerest Maugham. His
accesses in that line were innumerable and were
Ine as much to his artistry us to his own vein of
triglnal humor. They proved, in one sense, an
bstacle to his progress in the more imaginative
•h a ra t t era of I he more literary, artific.al, or romantic
somedy. In Benedick he fell a little short of tri
nnph, but he won distinction in the brilliant part
if Charles Surface, associated with such names as
-e-tir U'allack and Charles Coghlan. His fame
oust always rest largely upon his notable achieve
nonts with Augustin Daly, but it suffered no abate
uen under the Frohman management and wus
H-rhaps even more firmly established by such pieces

may suffer with a dull misery in the
kidney region, sharp pains in the
back or sick headache, dizziness,
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic, twinges. Tho urine
channels often get sore and Irritated.'

To help neutralize these irritatingj
acids, to help cleanse the kidneys!
and flush off the body's urinous!
waste, get four ounces of .lad Salts;

Your future is an unplowed field. Whether or
not it is to be productive depends on you. You can
plow, sow, and reap the harvest—or you can let it
remain unfruitful, a barren waste.
Start now to cultivate the opportunities that lie

manner you will reap a harvest of comfort and suc
cess in the future.
