WHEN THE WAR.
SHALL BE OVER
The great war will close after a
while. We wonder if in the breasts
of the rulers of those countries there
is not an unspoken fear of what will
come then.
When those who remain make lists
of their dead, of those so maimed that
they will be a perpetual tax upon
the strong while their broken frames
last; of the debts which they arc
mortgaged to pay interest on all
their liveSj what will the summing
up of the unspeakable wrongs which
have come to these people be?
One would think that evangels
would spring up in every land to
paint the picture of those wrongs
and to demand a new deal.
A deal in which never more could
kings obsessed by a love of power,
of conquest, ol' unearned loot and
lands, of glory reeking with blood; of
fame red with blood and shadowed
by broken hearts; would be squelch
ed forever.
What a year ago did the peasant in his
shed by the Don hold in enmity a
gainst the peasant in his shed by the
Danube?
What enmity did the Frenchman
with his little three-acre vineyard on
the Loire or the Italian on the Fo
hold against the German peasant with
his eows and goats on the Elbe?
What was there in all contentions
that distracted the rulers of Europe
that a commission of business men
could not have settled justly a year
ago?
Is it not true that justice was
not what was sought?
And was not the impelling cause
behind all, the belief that was de
sired could be won through possess
ing more and more effective means
of killing the simple dupes who do
the fighting and dying than the other
side possessed?
That is the game as old as the
world. It started in the stone age
and the principal then involked was
that might made right.
Has that been changed with the
rolling centuries? Have increased
learning and enlightment done aught ex
cept to teach men the art of sccin
tific war and create now and more
formidable eivgins of destruction.
Has Christianity done aught except
to give zealots new excuses for
wholesale murder that the domains of
General Hauling
and work of all kinds
done by the
Independent Transfer
Company

tho Prince of Poaco might be entang
led f
We hope it has; we hope that when
this war is finally closed, it will in
spire evangels in every land to cry
out for a change of tho ancient pol
icy if barbarism and murder and
to demand that a reign of justice
ho ushered in. That under the new
adjustment if tin ones remain those
who sit upon them shall, like the
humblest peasant, lo forced to obey
the new dispensation; they and their
counsellors.
When that time comes wo hope that
our country will come to the fore in
demanding it, and in so potential a
way that when tho new code shall be
framed and accepted by the nations,
those who have long wafted, may feel
assured that the reign of peace on
sarth may be looked to with a hope
of fulfillment_Exchange.

ALASKA Fli.. j.BHY EXPERTS!?)
This is tlio season of the year whoa
nost men who make the comparative
ly short round-trip to Southeast Alas
ka or who arc coming out from Alas
ka for a short vacation, feel called
upon by some mysterious inner influ
ence to pose as experts on the fish
erics of that vast territory. They j
may bo just plain tourists, or bar
tenders, miners or clerks, or laborers,
who have at best but a hazy acquain
tance with tho industry, yet as ""m
as they fall into the hands of tlv
ubiquitous hotel reporters, they blos
som out, into fishery exports, and the
trend of their remarks generally are
to the effect that an enormous pack
is being put up by the canneries.
The canneries of Alaska arc scatter
ed along a coast lino of some 12,000
miles, with many parts of which com
munication is slow and uncertain, and
when men who arc heavily interested
in the industry, and this journal, which
represents tho industry and annually
spends thousands of dollars in gath
ering find disseminating accurate in
formation about it, find it exceeding
ly difficult to secure such during the
canning season, it can readily be ap
preciated bow much value should be
attached to the vaporings of tho al
legoil experts noted above. Unfortu
nately, the country at largo does not
know tho persons interviewed, and
thus is unable to soparatc the wheat
‘from the chaff, and as a result much
harm is done through salmon jobbers
and retailers throughout the country
taking the statements contained in
these interviews as true reports of
the eondition of the industry.—Pacif

ALBATROSS SEEKING NEW
FISHING BANKS
The IT. S. bureau of fisheries steam
er Atbatross reached Seattle on July
15, having come from San Francisco,
where she spent tho winter, to en
gage in further investigation of the
known banks lying off tho coasts of
Washington anil Oregon, anil to look
for alleged new banks in the same re
gion. This investigation Is to bo a
continuation of the one undertaken
last summer, report of which lias
been published recently by the
Bureau. The steamor is commanded
by Lt. Com. J. J. Ilannlgan. The
civilian corps aboard consists of the
following: E. C. Johnson, naturalist,
and E. P. Rank.tn, scientific assis
tant., who nre stationed aboard per
manently, and Edward Driscoll and
four practical fishermen, who ship
ped at Seattle ami will do the prac
tical fishing work. As soon as pos
sible after tho arrival of the vessel
stores wore taken aboard ,togetlior
with the necessary fishing gear, bait,
etc., and the vessel steamed for tho
new bank off the mouth of the Col
umbia river on July 1!). As the ves
sel was coming north a short stop was
'made over this bank and a partial
delimitation of it made. This indi
cated that the bank is IT shaped,
with the open end to tho westward,
and a doep gully in the middle. Later
investigations may change the shape
somewhat.
Since, her last visit here the Al
batross has been fitted with an elec
tric sounding machine, which per
mits of vastly more rapid work
Han with the old hand sounding
machine formerly in use.—Pacific.

MILD CURING IN CALIFORNIA
At ild curing operations In Califor
nia are now limited to Monterey bay
district, and it is understood that the
pack there is rather light. Conditions
there have given rise to some dis
satisfaction throughout the season.
First, before the run started, there
was a long controversy between the
packers and fishermen about the price
of fish. This was finally settled by
the signing of a contract under tho
terms of which all fisli caught by
both Japanese and white unions were
to be delivered to the F. E. Booth
company, which agreed on a stipu
lated price for a term of years. Early
in July there was complaint of this
contract vbeing broken and packing
was interrupted a few days, but soon
started again. The fish have been
small until recently but toward the
end of July tho catches Improved in
quantity and size of fish_Pacific

Ip Bearings ^
Give Greater Speed
and Stability to the
L.C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter
( Ball Bearing, Long Wearing )
Because of ball bearing typeba^s, the keys respond as readily
ns perfect piano keys. The capital shift works with equal case
—no lifting of a heavy carriage hut simply shifting llie light
typebar segment, thus insuring absolute accuracy.
No fingers can move too fast for this machine—there isn't one
delaying movement from “Salutation" to “Signature.” Instead of
expensive and awkward attachments, all change controls are
connected with keyboard—including shift key, shift lock, space
bar, back spacer, ribbon key.
Another advantage—this machine is complete in itself for all
kinds of work: tabulating, hilling, large envelopes, cards or ,
paper as narrow as a postage stamp. ■
