KETCHIKAN, ALASKA, FEBRUARY ,8 1916
WHERE EFFICIENCY' COUNTS
Telegraphic news says that a remarkable showing
has been made by Chief of Police Ramesy, of the
town of Corona. California, during the twenty-one
months the has held the office. During that time
he has made SSI arrests and secured 880 convictions.
He made his office self-sustaining with four to six
men on the force.
That is a record that shows both efficiency and
badness. In the first place it shows efficiency of the
police, and in the second place it shows that wrong
doers are numerous in that town. If w*e watch the
record for the next few months we shall see a fal
ling off in the record due to the scarcity of wrong
doers made so by the efficiency of the police; an at
tribute glaringly jacking in many communities, which
is an incentive to petty thievery and other crimes
for which peaceful citizens are made to suffer. Ef
ficiencv is what counts.

THE GATEWAY LOSES BET
The Seward Gateway of recent date says that Sew
ard can boast of having the “best woman rustler in
all this wide Northern Territory," and backs up its
claim with a fifty thousand dollar bet- This boast
and wager is due to the fact that a woman of that
town does some freighting between Seward and
Matanuska.
Nixey, Mr. Gateway. You are away behind the
time. Freighting on the trail from Seward to Mat
anuska is 3 picnic compared with the occupation of
draywoman during these cold days, when one has to
pack coal up a high hill, then on up long steps to
the house and then again up two or three long stairs
to the top story of a skyscraper. To pack up sacks
after sacks of coal as high and as near heaven as
any one can ever hope to get in this world, is going
some. Yet that’s just what we can boast of, and
that is a woman advertises herself as a draywoman
- ■ -1-- ■>'
■1 ■— .... ■ *■
if a ’regularly ordained draywoman. Now will you
be good ? As to her capacity to fill the bill, that Is
mother question.

COL. HUGHES. OR BUST
(From the New York Post)
We note that William Allen White, who has never :
been quite sure of the vitality of the Progressive
party, is already anticipating its end. He tells a
brother editor that, if he doesn’t like the prepared
ness craze, he can pack up next summer “and hie ]
him to the bosky dell in Estes, Colorado.”
“There during the heat and tumult of the cam- j
paign, out on the plain, he will find the last of the j
bull moosers waiting to go to tne museum, quietly j
grazing on red raspberry shortcake and huckleberry
pie, or chewing a pilacid cud of merry recollections
of the days when he, too, was on earth and enjoyed
the felicity of the eocklebur of altruism in his flank
to keep him distraught, contentious and frisky.”
Mr. White’s conclusion of the whole matter is ep- |
igrammatically stated: We violate no confidence in !
saying that if it isn’t the colonel—and it won’t be—
it just naturally must be Hughes, or bust.”

BIG PLAN FOR NEW YORK
(From Sc'ence Monthly)
One of the most startling projects ever conceived j
tor the relief of the harbor conjestW in New Yolk
has been proposed by oi’.e >f New York’s most premi
nen* consulting engineers, I-'.* T. Leonard Thompson.
In brief, he plans to reclaim fifty square miles of
1 land frem New York Bay, to add 100 miles of new
waterfront for docks, to fill in the East river, and
{ to prepare New York for a population of 20,000,000.
This work is to be done by building coffer dams, and
after pumping out the water, laying the subway
tubes, gas, electric and telephone conduits, he will
fill in the enclosed space. This he claims will be
i a very' inexpensive method of construction since it
j would not entail the costly tunneling to build the sub
way after the construction had been completed. Dr.
Thomsen believes that through taxes and additional
; business which would come to New York that this
proje t, while its original cost would be greater than
that of the Panama canal, would quickly pay for
itself.

TRUE ENJOYMENTS
—
All real and wholesome enjoyments possible to
man have been just as possible to him, since first he
was made of the earth, as they are now and they
are possible to him chiefly in peace. To watch the
com grow, and the blossoms set; to draw hard breath
> over ploughshare or spade; to read, to think, to love.
to hope to pray—these are the things that make men
| happy; they have always had the power of doing
these, they never will have the power to do more,
i The world’s prosperity or adversity depends upon our
knowing and teaching these few things. . . . And I
i am Utopian and enthusiastic enough to believe that
j the time will come when the world will discover this,
