The warring nations may or may
not be ready to accept peace at the
present time, but, in the revival of the
peace talk there is not a little signifi
cance and it Is not without a great Im
portance in its suggestive power to
turn the thoughts of the world to the
peace that must come some day. sooner
or later. It has that welcome merit
that It switches the talk from war to
peace for a day or two at least. At
the present time the world has almost
come to accept the war as in the na
ture of a permanent institution, and
the end as something most remote and
far away. It would appear too that
the early Issues of the struggle have
been all but lost sight of and over
whelmed In the larger Issues created
by the extent and methods of the fight
ing and the complications of the in
evilible economic consequences. The
mighty vastness of the war has done
much to impress upon the mind of hu
manity the utter folloy of war as an
accepted or necessary institution and
ii has had the effect of changing to a
great extent the world’s conscience. So
when we approach the idea of peace in
the present day It is at quite a differ
ent angle of thought than would have
animated us if the possibility of peace
had developed earlier. The issue is
not now. as in the earlier periods,
simply between Germany on the one
side and Britain on the other, although
in the program of considerations the
strife for supremacy between those two
nations remains uppermost and will
inevltibly tinge nil talk of peace ar
rangement. The larger Issue has now
become, not the necessity of some side
to be whipped or crushed, but rather
the necessity for establishing peace on j
such a basis as will tend to lessen, If
not eliminate, the possibility, or llkell
hool, of wars, on such a scale of de
structiveness. in the future. The tre-1
mendous economic waste and the utter'
I
folly of it all have now become a mat
ter of prime consideration In deter
mining the manner in which the great
struggle will be concluded If peace is
to he restored by other influences aside'
from a decisive victory hy one side or'
the other. There is little likelihood
that the world of humanity will view

Vila favor a peace that will in reality
>»» no more than a truce to cloak the
ireparatlons for a yet greater struggle
n the future. A mere delay in whieli
lhp nations will rush to the task of re
glining their fighting strength again
Is not what the world wants and the |
re-establishment of a newer and great
>>i militarism will probably be looked
upon In the nature of an ahhorrance
through which the world would be
worse off than ever. When peace
comes it must be a real peace: one
that will rest upon u foundation at
least indicating some measure of fut
ure permanance and not on a founda
tion of excessive force such ns has been
the peace that hung like a burden over
Europe in the past decades. We be
lieve that when tlie day of peace shall
come, that the war-worn remnant of
the people will demand the assurance
that their homes, their lives and the
future of their children shall lie guar
anteed upon some more permanent
basis than a peace like unto that un
der which they themselves have la
bored—n peace that was not more than
an armed truce, a time of preparation
for the gigantic horror that was to
come.
It was announced through the pa
pers that Secretary of Labor Wilson
is in favor of using the $10,000,000 of
the head-tax money collected from in
coming immigrants for the purpose of
transporting immigrants to govern
ment lands in community groups under
an arrangement by which.they are to
refund the government the amounts
expended on their behalf. The head
tax was primarily designed to meet the
expenses of the immigration service,
and this balance has remained unex
pended.
It has long been urged, by those in
terested in the welfare of both the
country and the alien, that some part
o' this fund be set aside for the dis
tribution, protection and education of
resident Immigrants: but this is the
first offllml sanction from a high au
thority. In this connection, it is also
well to remind the government that
one of the most pressing tiuestkins lie
fore it is the granting of national aid
to local communities unable to mec 1
the demands of alien dependents. We
recommend a commission of unpaid
non-political experts to recommend to
Congress a plan for a domestic use of a
part of the head tax, and .if necessary,
an increase of the tax which shall lie
set aside for this purpose. It is highly
essential that such an important mat
ter should not lie embarked upon in n
haphazzard, piecemeal way. Ex.

It is many a du^ since mining looked
more promising than it does in the
Ketchikan mining district at this time
Copper, according to the last quota
tions received, is worth from $17 oO to
$17.62 per hundred pounds. This
means that many of tlie properties in
ttiis region are either now at work, or
preparing to resume operations. For in
stance, the Granby people are working
a full crew at the Mamie above ltadley,
and in addition are doing a great deal
of work at the it and Alarm properties
on Kassan bay, and to handle same
have ordered a gasoline locomotive.
The dock there has been rebuilt, and
recent development work lias hrougl^
more ore to light. Hush it- Rrown are
working oil the men they can handle,
and expect to have a shipment ready
to send down to the smelter within the
next couple of weeks that gives

somethin* in the shipping line this
season. The same condition is true of
the gold properties. Work is being
pushed on all the different holdings at
and near Hollis; the Princeton Mining
& Milling company, operating the Val
pariso at Dolorni, shipped close to one
hundred and fifty tons of mining and
milling supplies in on the last steamer,
which alone speaks well for conditions
at that place, and several small'camps
are working along steadily in the
Smuggler’s Cove-Helm bay region. It
looks good, very, very good for the
immediate future of mining in this
region.—Ketchikan Miner.

Oliver Baker, who met his death near
Test's roadhouse, on the Chitlna
Falrabnks trail, March 31, really was
"blown” to death. The Delta river at
that point from the summit down the
few miles intervening is nothing but a
great glacier, with sometimes snow on
it and sometimes not. On this occasion
a CO-milo wind took it off, leaving
glare ice in many places. Baker, It Is
believed by those who were with him
and who found the body, slipped and
fell, perhaps while catching his hat,
and the wind simply blew him around
until he was dead. Once down, it would
he almost impossible for him to rise.
These heavy winds will take a double
ender and turn it around and around,
which causes the stage company to
provide their double enders with knife
clamps for use in heavy winds on the
ice. Baker's body was bruised black
and blue all over. He was literally
pounded by the lee if he wasn’t frozen
death wotdd have resulted anyway.
The upper Delta country is a danger
ous country at any time and especially
so. in a winter or spring blizzard. No!
word has yet been received as to the
disposition of his body.—Cordova
Times.
Southbound from Gypsum. Alnska,
with a ful cargo of gypsum rock, the
barge .Tames Drummond, belonging to
the Alaska Barge Co., went ashore at
Dali Patch Shoal, Mlllbank Sound.
She was in tdw of the tug Tatoosh.
of the 1’uget Sound Tug Boat Co. It is
expected that the barge will be a total
loss. The James Drummond wns at
one time a famous American stilling
vessel and known to all ports of the
world.
