FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1915
THE MARIPOSA.
It is with a feeling of deep regret
that the people of Valdez heard of
the sinking of the Alaska Steamship
company’s fine steamship, the Mari
posa. The Mariposa has been on the
Alaska run so long that she has be
come a part of Valdez. She has been
identified with the interests of our
town for many years. Her officers
and crew are known to every man,
woman and child in the city, and are
liked and respected by all. Alaska
has been unfortunate with her ships
this year. The Edith, the Watson,
and the Mariposa, all fine, large, pala
tial boats, have gone to the bottom,
and the territory has been seriously
handicapped by their loss. Many of
our mines have closed down on ac
count of lack of transportation for
ore, and it has tied up business gen
erally. The loss to the steamship
company has been even greater, as it
has suffered the loss of both the Edith
and the Mariposa, at a time when
the freight carriage was at its great
est. ' Merchants are laying in winter
stocks, and every boat has been
crowded with merchandise and pas
sengers.
While the accident nappenea in
Canadian waters, it is a fact that the
Alaskan coast line is insufficiently
protected by lighthouses and beacons.
Up to the present time almost any
thing has been good enough for the
Pacific coast in the matter of protec
tion of life and property. The expen
diture of but a small sum by congress
would be of incalculable benefit to
our shipping. We need several first
class cutters stationed in these waters
at all times to help shipwrecked mar
iners; a large, new cableship should
be provided, to keep the cable in re
pair. We have one cableship, but the
men are overworked, and no sooner
get to port than they are forced to
leave again. The cutters and cable
ship do the best they can, but more
vessels are needed. With the im
mense travel to Alaska, it is a mir
acle that the loss of life and ships is
not greater than it is.
It is hoped that the Mariposa can
be floated and placed on the Valdez
ran again, as it is like losing an old
friend to have her gone.
Forty-eight warships at $18,000,
000 each to prepare for—what? The
same amount of money would place
every man, woman and child in the
United States on a pension roll, or
but a fraction of that sum would re
pair our cable, or would give us good
roads, and a thousand and one other
things could be done with it to de
velop our country. The jingoists yell
"militarism,” then advocate a greater
militarism for the United States. We
are like the little boy who yells
“ghost” until he scares himself. No
country in the world can have any de
sire to quarrel with Uncle Sam, and
no country in the world will be able
to by the time this war is over.
Three whole weeks have passed
and we have not seen a line about
those “peace at any price mollycod
dles,” from the doughty Colonel. His
hunting trip must have been a stren
uous one.
And if for no other reason, the
people of the United States should go
to church Thanksgiving Day and re
turn thanks that Teddy was not
elected.
The Prince of Wales has sworn
never, never to take a German bride.
But even this terrible blow may fail
to crush the German war spirit.- —

PUPILS ENJOY
MORNING TALKS
See Test of Machine’s Educational
Powers and Gain Useful Knowl
edge on “First Aid.”
Valdez High School enjoyed a rare
treat this morning in the opening ex
ercises. Mr. E. C. Niles, manager of
the Seattle branch of the Remington
Typewriter company, demonstrated
the remarkable new machine the com
pany is now making. Gifted with
almost human intelligence the ma
chine, besides doing the work re
nuired of any typewriter, adds, sub
tracts, computes interest and dis
count and is so nearly exact that it
mentions any mistakes that may hap
pen to be made.
Following Mr. Niles, Mr. sumner
S. Smith, U. S. mine inspector tor the
Territory of Alaska, gave a very in
teresting and exceedingly helpful
lecture on First Aid. Mr. Smith had
with him material for making trian
gular bandanges and with the aid of
a few pieces of rough boards per
formed experiments in emergency
work on one of the boys who offered
himself as a patient. At first the stu
dents were inclined to be amused
at one of their number feigning in
jury, but as the speaker proceeded,
a spirit of intense interest and eager
ness to learn took possession of them
and they were reluctant to have the
exhibition come to a close. The
speaker has had wide experience in
practical mining both in the States
and Alaska, was for some time a
member of the editorial staff of the
Mining and Engineering journal, and
has lectured to some of the large
schools of mines in the east.
SEATTLE HAS STEPPED
INTO THIRD PLACE.
SEATTLE, Oct. 8.—Seattle was
outranked by only two cities in the
value of imports for the week ending
October 2, New York leading, and
Boston in second place. The custom
ceipts in the Seattle office have in
creased wonderfully during the past
year and the record established dur
ing the past week was the highest
ever attained.
MORE GARMENT WORKERS
PLACED UNDER ARREST.
CHICAGO, Oct. 8.—A mob, num
bering several thousand striking gar
ment workers, began demonstrations
last night in the factory districts, and
scores of the strike leaders were ar
rested. Special police are guarding
the factories day and night, but the
mob succeeded in breaking every
window in one of the buildings be
fore reinforcements could reach the
guards from police headquarters.

IN TICKET LINE
Thousands Have Arrived in Philadel

of World’s Series.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 8—So great
Is the rush to secure tickets to the
opening game of the series for the
_ouall championship of the world,
to be played here this afternoon, that
thousands of fans spent the night in
the ticket line which started yester
day afternoon.
The Boston Americans arrived in
Philadelphia this morning and were
greeted by thousands of fans who
have come from every state in the
union and Canada to witness the
game. Special trains have been ar
riving all night and the hotels of the
city are overflowing with fans.
Betting is strong with Boston still
giving odds of five to four, but it is
believed that before the game starts
that even money on today’s game will
be hard to find, as the admirers of
the local team believe they have
more than an even chance of winning
the championship.
