City Official Paper
NOME. ALASKA. AUGUST 7, 1915.
The calling of a conference of repre
sentatives of the South American
states to assist Secretary I-ansing in
the solution of the Mexican problem
seems to indicate that the administra
tion Is about to substitute active
measures for the so called policy of
"watchful waiting." with a view to
bringing the long existing reign of
discord to a close.. While it is agreed
Hint such action is eminently desira
ble, both from the standpoint of hu
manity nnd the benefit of the Mexican
people, it is difficult to conceive jlist
why the government has decided to
take active measures Just at a time
when the matter seems about to resolve
Itself. It would seem that hnvtng tried
the policy of watchful waiting for such
an extended period, the administration
might allow matters to continue as
they are for a short time longer, espec
ially as there are no more Americans
or other foreigners left in Mexico to be
killed off during the interval, in view
of the fact that the present outlook
seems to point plainly to an early end
ing of the disturbances through the
elimination of Villa as an active factor
in perpetuating the turmoil.
If we may place credence in the re
ports. the situation seems about to ad
just itself in an entirely logical way
through the defeat of the Villa army
by the all eonquoring forces of Car
ranza. Villa has of late been forced to
fall steadily back on Ills last remain
ing stronghold in central Mexico, his
armies everywhere defeated and brok
en and with every indication pointing
h their ultimate disintergation. It is
also reported that the following of the
ex-bandit has fallen away to about
one-fourth of what it was when, as the
leader of a constantly victorious army,
lie extended his sway over the greater
part of the Mexican territory. Villa Is
apparently on his last legs nnd it is ln-i
dieated that the next clash between his
decimated army and the overwhelm
ing forces of the Constitutionalist lead
er will send him reeling back into the
oblivion from whence he came. On the
contrary, the strength of Carranza has
lately increased by leaps and bounds
and his well equipped armies have tieen

so consistently victorious that the l
complete downfall of Villa at the next .
meeting seetns Inevitable unless by i
some prodigy of valor he ran snatch a i
victory from what seems certain and i
hopeless defeat. In view of these con- i
dltlons it would seem to be good policy
for the government to allow things to
take their natural course This would
probably be more satisfactory in every
way to the Mexicans themselves than
would the intervention of the United i
States or any other power and would ,
also he equally agreeable to the people ,
of America who have little desire to ,
see their troops slaughtered in a cause
from which they can expect no profit
whatever.
Tteturnlng travelers record the ap
pearance of women in great numbers
in new lines of industry for them in
the British Isles. In Edinburgh and
Glasgow, for example, women are now
found running elevators, driving wa
gons, operating street cars and clean
ing the streets ns efilciently ns the
men employees whose places they have
taken.
More significant than this, however,
is the recent announcement of the
British ministry that from this time
forward all departments of the public
service will be open to women. This,
however, is not a concession to the
feminist movement. It is one of the
war emergency steps. Eord Kitchnef
recently appealed to the government to
release all of its a tile - hod ied civil em
ployees for trench duty. It was in re
sponse to this demand from the war!
minister that the civil service was
opened to women.
It is a fact, often overlooked, that
our own civil war resulted in the ap
pearance of women in various occupa
tions In which they had never before
been seen. It was the civil war which
opened the federal public service to
women, for one example. Saleswomen
in stores were rarely seen at any time
previous to the civil war, although they
are in the large majority now.
There have been hosts of occupa
tions opened to women in England dur
ing the present generation from which
they were excluded in past generations
but outside of tlie postal department,
which includes in England the opera
tion of tlie telegraph and telephone
lines, it does not appear that civil ser
vice positions have been ojiened to
them before this time.
Women are in the majority in the
population of England. They were so
before the war. and the war has nat
urally Increased their relative prepon
derance in numbers. The new status
of women as the-result of the war is
one of the legacies which will lie left
When peace is finally declared —Ex.

Tito Ketchikan Miner complains that
boats plying between l’rlnce Rupert on !
the Canadian side to Forester Island
on the American side not only buy fish
but peddle Canadian groceries, upon
which no customs dues have been paid,

Two brown bears that are known to,
be roaming on Amok Island are now
1 being hunted to death before the
Murphy sheep are turned loose. Mr. 1
Murphy went west on one of the recent 1
boats to start a. sheep and cattle ranch 1
on the island. Just before he got there !
a brown hear and her cubs were killed. 1
but the two others still on the Island !
are considered a menace.—Seward

"Alaska is proving a drawing card
among Eastern tourists only second to
the exposition at San Francisco," said
E. O. McMicken, general passenger
agent of the North Pacific Steamship
Company, of San Francisco. “About
the first (iiiestlon the average Easterner 1
asks on his arrival In San Francisco is
the distance and the route and the
" ■' " . - ■ . .’jiaii-H*?
time it will take for the Northern trip.
Judging by the number of these in
quiries that have oome to me person
ally, Seattle will see a great many
tourists this summer hound North on
sight seeing trips to Alaska.”
Great difficulty has been experienced
In the past In landing supplies and
mail at the Scotch Cape and Cape Sar
ichef light stations, Alasku. Owing to
the situation of the stations, the con
dition of the sea is very- often unfavor
able to makinr landing through the
surf for days at a time. Measures have
therefore beer, taken recently for the
purchase of line-throwing guns for
these stations and also for the Cape
St. Ellas light station, now in course of
construction, which, it is believed, will
be very useful In landing mall and In
connection with landing supplies and
transferring the keepers to and from
stations during unfavorable weather.
An investigation of the rei>orted ep

at Tonsina reveals that one native had

John W. Frame, editor and owner of
the Valdes Commoner, was found
guilty by a Jury In Commissioner
Dove’s court of the offense of assault
and battery against Dr. Dalton. The
jury wrestled all night and after twelve
hours of agony brough forth a verdict
of guilty with a recommendation to
clemency. Judge Dove Imposed a fine
1 of $50 and costs, the tatter amounting
to $172.20. Tho defendant gave notice
of appeal.
Dawson. No trace has been found
of the body of David Snygg. who was
drowned in the Stewart river, near
Rosebud slough, this spring. Sig Olson
who was a partner with Snygg. is in
the city from Stewart and says: "A
number of us were bringing a raft of
logs down the Stewart for the sawmill
when the raft struck a snag at the
mouth of Rosebud slough. Dave was
on the raft, and, as it struck, ho ran
to snub the rope, but became entangled
and it seems he must have been struck
by a log We saw him go overlioard
and plunge into the water feet first.
That was the last we saw of him. Not
a trace has been found of his body.'
Anchorage—W. H. Taulman. a wide
ly known mining man of this part of
Alaska, is a recent arrival from ttie
Broad Pass country. He is enthusias
tic over the mining possibilities of that
region. Highly encouraging results
have been obtained in prospecting lode
claims on the mineralized zone which
penetrates that district for an un
known length, said Mr. Taulman, and
the indications now are that within a
few years the camp will be one of the
best in Alnska. The values are in the
arsenides. At some points on the zone
copper pyrite has been found, and this
ore will have to be treated by n smelter
but in most cases It now appears that
the ore will respond to cyanide treat
ment.
Only three deer may be killed by
hunters during the next open season
and the regulation preventing the sale
of deer carcasses has been extended
another year, according to advices re
ceived by Gov. J. P. A. Strong from
Secretary of Agriculture David P.
Houston, who says: “I have your letter
nf June. 10. recommending that Regu
lation No. 2 of the department regula
ilons of July 14, 1914, which limits the
lumber of deer killed by any one prr
lon during the open season In South
■astern Alaska to six, to he amended to
imit the. number to be killed to three:
ind the renewal of Regulation 3, prn
llbiting the sale of deer carcasses in
Southeastern Alaska until August 1,
