MAYOR BEEGLE INTERVIEWED
""(From the Seattle Times)
More important to the people of
Ketchikan than the European %var
and its influence is the question of
adequate transportation facilities
on the Seattle-Ketehikan route, ac
cording to Mayor John R. Beegle.
; of Ketchikan, who is in this city
■ on his way to San Francisco, that
; the intercity trade between the two
places could be increased in value
1 by many thousands of dollars
j through better commercial con
! neetions is the mayor’s belief.
“You can’t buy what you want
! if you can’t get it to your home,”
j said Mayor Beegle at the Hotel
| Stevens, “and in that statement you
; sum up the difficulties experienced
■ in Ketchikan. The people of the
1 Northern city, more prosperous thar
j ever before this season on account
1 of good markets for copper and
[ pink salmon, have been willing to
j buy liberally in Seattle, but have
| been unable to do so.
“The opening of Anchorage as
! the southern terminus of the Alaska
i -ai’road is causing the ships to
• come to Ketchikan with capacitj
| cargoes for the western Alaska
| cities and no room for the orders
| of Ketchikan citizens. Even fresh
vegetables .tave been scarce In the
north this year because of the ship
ment of machinery and heavy im
plements to Anchorage.
“The Alaska trade from the view
point of the steamship companies
is a serious one. Business in
Ketchikan and, in fact, most of all
Alaska points, is distinctly a sum
mer business. The companies must
make enough profit in four months
to offset an increasing loss on
shipments during the remaining
eight months. The people of Ket
chikan however,believe that if more
haots were pla ced on the run du
ring the rush season the companies
would come nearer to realizing an
annual profit in the1 four month
business than at present.”

DIDN'T WANT TO GIVE TEETH
Here is a recruiting story from
the London Observer. A newcomer
at the Highlanders’ training camp
was advised to see the dentist. Be
fore committing himself, he made
various inquiries, the purpose of
which, it turned out was to satisfy
himself, before allowing any of
his teeth to be extracted, that the
substiute ones would not be claim
ed as government property at the
end of the war.

WAR PREDICTION MADE IN1770
Inl770 a meeting was held by
Frederick the Great, ruler of Prus
sia, and Joseph II, ruler of. Aus
tria, in which the terms upon which
the Polish dominions were to b»
divided were agreed upon. When
the articles of agreement were
brought before Maria Theresa,
mother of Joseph II, for her sig
nature, her sense of violated justice
cried out against the proposed in
iquity. “Long after I am dead,”
said she, “the effects of this viol
ation of all which has hiterto been
considered right and holy will be
made manifest.”
Will 1916 see Prussia and Aus
tria divided as was Poland and
thus prove that Maria Theresa
was a prophet as well as a great
ruler?
