NOME .ALASKA, DEC. 30, 1916.
Yesterday's dispatches said that af
ter Kmperor Charles of Austria had
been crowned king of Hungary, which
was scheuuiud for touay, lie would
then become active in the movement
for peace. Another view of it might
well be that he could not be crown ad
king unless he first promised that he
wiuiu strive tor peace. It is supposu
ble that some Kuropean rulers just
now are quite responsive to tile opin
ions of the masses. And it deutniess
behooves them to be it they expect
their heirs to reign.
The enlargement of the sector on
the Somme over winch the British
atauu guard can only mean that Bn- j
tain has inrown large reintoruements t
inio d ranee wtth.n recent weeks. VI
most three million Britons should be (
ready soon, ,11 they are not quite f
rebuy now, tor active operations in the
held. It seems incredible that they ,
should not do great things unless they j
are frittered away on senseless ven
tures here and there. Possibly the
present enlarged scope of British op
erations is the forerunner of a vital
campaign.
Tom Lawson seems to judge all
men by the artilicial and cynical stan
dards of himself und his associates.
However, his frank disclosures re
garding the operations of congress
men tu Wall street are likely to do
more towards scaring those solons
away front stock gambling than many
a eerinau by a righteous man. And
if some of them could be kept from
hanging over the ticker In their Waih
ington broker's office they would be
money ahead and the public business
would be better done.
The Snake river harbor does not
ueein such a remote possibility as it
did once. When the previous unfa
vorable report had been made Senator
Nelson Was quoted as saying that it
was Impossible to gel congress to act
favorably in a matter which the en
gineer corps did not recommend. He
also said it was difficult to get con
gress to make an appropriation for a
second investigation of a project that
had been turned down.
Now that the chamber of commerce
has succeeded, however, in getting a
second investigation and a favorable
report the hardest part of the tight
would seem to be over. It It Is true
that congress Is not dispased to take
action on a project not endorsed by
the engineers of the army It ought to
be equally true that congress Is not
disposed to refuse an application for
an improvement that has the favorable
recommendation from the engineers.
Congress of late has seemed to show
more appreciation of the needs ol
Alaska and a disposition tu do what
ought to be done for the development
of the territory. Possibly this atti
tude is due to Increased knowledge
of Alaska or it may be due to the
democratic administration. " At any
tate this congressional state of mind
towards Alaska augers well for the
Snake river harbor when taken in con
' ncotion with the opportune report of
the army engineers. It Is not likely
that the chief of the engineer corps
will negative the favorable report of
his subordinates. Nor Is It likely that
•engross will fail to act ia accordance

with the recommendation. I'oss'bly
one or seveial members of congress
have had experiences in lunding on
the Nome beach which they wflfr re
member wiien mention of our needs
is made, if they don't remember ot
their own accord probably our dele
gate will Jug the memory of members
of the house or suite the cuse con
vincingly to the committee on rivers
and harbors. Senators Nelson and
i’lttiiiuu may be relied on in the up
per chamber. So therefore the pros
pects for the local harbor improve
ments are very bright Indeed if times
remain normal.
There are imaginable conditions,
however, which would inuennilely
^us.puue both appropriation of the
liiuiivy una inti ^cuviu twucu %jl Uie
vork. One of these is that this coun
ry shou.d become involved m the :
duiopean snuggle. In such an event- j
lality all the nation's money and men i
vuulu be neeucd to prusecUie the war. I
merest in Aluska for the lime would
te very slight It is probable too that I
he dispatch of our entire armed !
orces to Mexico would make it dif
icull to gel the harbor under way.
•or one thing all the army engineers
vouid be needed at the front- Most
ikely the government would not care
o authorize the work except under
he direction of at least one army an
fineer. It behooves us therefore to
yray for peace on all fronts unless
(ve want our national honor vindi
cated, under whatever provocation
may arise, more than we want the
local harbor improvement.
However, the chances are greatly
against our making war either against
one or the other of the European
belligerents or against Mexico end
the chances favor the appropriation of
money for the Snake river harbor.
And that i3 about all any one can
ask in connection with any contin
gency, namely the best of it Noth

But when we have things coming our
way we should sit tight and keep on
