OFFERS A FEW REMARKS
The main rca.-on why 1 do not make our
British voters happy in M. Saintyve’s fash
i 'ii is that 1 bo not want to make them
happy. I want to make them howl, to
drive them to rend their hearts and not
Iheir garment.' to see them heap ashes
«.-n their silly h ads whilst they confess in
the dust, with humble and contrite hearts,
that, though t; ey may buy victory with
the dust, with nimble and contrite hearts,
their blood anc iron, they deserve defeat
and even exter filiation, and have no plea
to offer again t that doom except that
the Germans reserve no less. For just
consider how 1 must feel about it. I read
m the Times F. rd Curzon’s demand for the
suppression oi the Derby on the ground
that it is unhn uning to have “junketings”
in the face ( t bereavements and wounds
and death. I ask Lord Curzon whether
he supposes tk t there has been a single
Derby run bur ng his lifetime, or a single
junketing of m y description, that has not
been held in ti e teeth of the most abom
inable socially , reventible evils including
child mortality. eompuFory prostitution. ;r
tificiallv produced vice, disease, degradation,
•uffering, squalor, fraud, violence, plague,
] e-tiF nce and "amine, battle, murder and
sudden death. Sidney Webb offers to put
n end to Hr f -h unemployment and des
titute n. with t ieir infinite loss and demor
alization. for : couple of million pounds.
Sir Horace Flo- kett offers to quadruple the
production of he Irish soil, and thereby
avert the lam -mi labor war that is hang
ing over Irelai. . at a cost of $25,000 a year
for technical « ucation in agriculture. They
might as wel ask for the sun and stars.
No mother sen ; her son to live for England.
No father sin kes his son’s hand and says,
‘*I wish I were young enough to stand be
■de you in the fight for a decent country
to live in.” for this senseless, suicidal
slaughter of '’.vilizatirn in Flanders and
l’-'lind. this iT’sory hatred, this monstrous
fruit of selfish : zy apathy, soothed by huge
dose* of fa!so1 . d, we are putting down
thousands of millions of pounds eagerly;
and the mothers and fathers are sending
their sons to kill and die, to maim and he !
maimed, because none of them took as
much thought and care for the welfare of j
Europe as for the shininess of their boots.
And now that we are waked up at last, our i
first step is to cut of! all the little grants !
m aid that a few struggling reformers have j
managed to procure for our social needs, and !
to sweep them into the till of the armament :
contractor. This is what it costs to make j
a Briton serious. We are more callous than
Tartars or Hottentots. With them a few j
dozen heads chopped off and piled in the
middle of the street, and a few girls buried j
alive under the doorpost of the king, pro- j
duce seriousness enough for a whole reign. !
But we must have 30,000 men in the flower
of their youth bayonet ted and smashed an i ;
shattered and pierced and blinded and deaf- !
ened with inconceivable violence even j
morning for months before we can feel
really fine, and thrill with admiration of
ourselves. Even then our notion of rising i
to the occasion is to applaud the gentle
men who write ot the papers calling on me ;
to cease frivoling and flattering them.

the upbuilding of flip territory of Alaska,
Mr. Andrews writes, "ft- policy has bore
tofore been that of repression rather than
assistance. If, instead of building forts
and maintaining military establishments in
the country at an immense cost, only to
tie abandoned, there had been lighthouse
and coast protection provided, the advance
ment of the land would have been secure
slid property amounting to millions of dol
lars would have boon saved."
Mr. Andrews takes cognizance of the
efforts of the present and of past adminis
trations to aid navigation, and remarks
that "the long delayed drag survey is at
I -t locating the sunken rocks that hereto
fore uo-l a ship to find, ill almost every
i not ance.”
"Because of the lack of aids to mariners,
he says, "the marine insurance in Alaska
is greater than to almost any part of the
world. The rate from Seattle to Skag
way is as much as the rate from Beattie
to Liverpool via the Panama canal in li ne.
of peace. The government tax on canned
si burn is less than 1 per cent, v.'hil • the
marine inrun ttce on this same sa'mon from j
Bristc I bay to Seaftl” is 1 per cent.
“With adequate aid- to navigation cl mg ■
die coast the rate need not be greater than j
to other parts of the civilized world. The j
buoys mid light . the f-g signals and the
win less telegraph ere-fast putting aside the j
marine dangers of Ala-!.an waters. Some i
them are badly needed, have been 1 mg
delayed, and are warmly welcomed as they i
arrive. Thirty-live years elapsed before tin !
first lighthouse was built, and nearly half |
a century has passed and no! a light on
Bristol bay, a place from which there are j
shipped each year l.nOO.OOO cases of sal
moil.”
The writer says the government has I
waited for private enterprise to develop j
the territory while it reaped the benefit
before it made an investment.
In addition to pointing out the territory’s
claim to further attention. Mr. Andrew.
Vll- a dramatic story of many of tin
famous and terrible disasters of the chan
nel, supplementing his article with a detailed
list of all discoverable wrecks in Alaskan !
waters, partly supplied by the Pacific. Irish [
erman and partly the result of a summer j
spent in investigating the records at Juneau |
in 1915. The loss of life, which he sup
plies as fully as possible, was not pub.ished
in earlier lists of disasters.
Mr. Andrews is working in the Bancroft
11.1-ary at Berkeley. Cal., at the pn-ent
time on a hook which he intends publish- j
ing. Alaska is the subject.
It is understood that Mr. Andrew,-' article
in the Historical Quarterly will lie used to
press the campaign for further aids to the
devt lopmrnt of the North country.
HENRY RODEN RETURNS
AND GIVES OBSERVATIONS
ON ALASKA AND ALASKANS
Usury Redeu was an unexpected arrival;
r.\er the Seward trad ilia first of tile ws k.j
He left Seward shortly after ihe tint (A;
Murcii. and spent some time at Ancm rage
and around Kink .At the former ; laee i.
found many < id-time Iditaroders wno are
engaged in business, while near Knik s< \
eral of them are tilling tile soil, notably
Harry Harmon and “Dutch Craemer. Ihe> j
ti id him they were doing well.
Mr. Roden did not get Outside during
the past winter. After leaving Iditarnd last
fall |.e went to Ruby and l-airlcr,ks. and
from the latter place over til? trad to Cr
dova and Juneau. He spurt the winter j
prospecting along the coast, and claims to
have i.ail some rare experiences in small
is boats running up and down Icy strait .
and other waterways in Southeastern Aia-ka
While he and his associate- have so far
failed, Mr. Roden says that the southeastern 1
part of the territory is becoming quite ;■ .
mining center, end that there are quite a j
few producing mines about which the pen
I It* of the Interior never hear any!I mg. 11■
especially mention- one mine on C.iicagot!
island that produces ahno.-t as much
“velvet” for its owners as dors the great
Treadwell mine, on Douglas island. Copper
is al-n being developed in that section, and
the production of artificial fertilizer is an
is.-iued thing in the very near future. He
says that an immense water power is be
ing developed within fifty miles of Juneau,
that will lie used for that purpose, similar
to the large plants being operated in Nor
way. He says Juneau is continually grow
ing. and that the erection of a seven-story
building will soon commence, there being
already several five-story buildings, with ele
vators and al! modern conveniences, in the
city.
Cordova is taking on a new Dase of life,
owing to the extremely heavy shipments
and the construction of some half dozen new
canneries for salmon and clams. Mr. Roden
says that steamboat and transportation men
claim that Cordova has a larger tonnage
than the whole port of Seattle. He says
the docks are loaded with thousands of sacks
filled with copper ore awaiting transporta
tion south.
Seward is livening up. Real estate in that
city seems to be quite high, and the people j
expect that the town on Resurrection bay
will be the chief railroad center.
There is much local feeling, especially
around Anchorage, against the railroad com
mission, according to Mr. Roden. Old- i
timers claim they can get no employment I
and that outsiders and foreigners are given j
preference. There seems to be a desire on ,
the part of the commission, so some people
say, that nobody should make anything j
above a bare living out of the construction !
of the railroad, and that everything is be
ing carried on on a “Jim Crow” scale. It
seems that the government is about to make j
a great government ownership experiment
in that section of the territory, for it is said ^
that besides the railroad and mining the
coal, the government will also go actively :
into the farming business, and that the
railroad commission will shortly be engaged
in competition with the farmers who have
settled around Knik and the Matanuska
valley.
When asked what he thought about farm
ing and cattle raising in that section of
i Alaska. Mr. Roden said that if they can do
: it at Knik or Matanuska we can do just
: as well at Iditarod and Flat perhaps bet
i ter. There is no more snow here than there,
| he says, and he heard of nothing being
| raised there that has not been raised here.
--
Teacher—Now, let us take the phrase,
“I was a stranger, and ye took me in.”
Can anyone make that sentence any bet
ter?
Boy—I was neutral and ye took me in.
—Life.

Seek Missing Mail Carrier
A rescue party has been sent out from
Anchorage to find Alexon, a mail carrier,
with the out bound Iditarod mail, who has
been missing five days on Rainy pass, ac
cording lo the Seward Rost. Alexon is the
carrier between the Rhone and Happy river
stations, and as there was a heavy snow
storm on the day he was scheduled to cross
the pass, it is feared that he m.ty have met
with serious injury.
Haines to Get Townsite Pa lent
The | hit for the townsite of Haines has
b 'en fi cd in the Juneau hind ofliee. The
I bit shows that the townsite contains sev
cuty-one acres. The citizens of Haines wi 1
now apply for a patent and the appointment
of a townsite tni.-tet . They have been en
deavoring for years to get title for their
bmd from the government, but on account
f conflicting claims the residents hereto
fore have been unable to make the appl.
cat ion.

Agreement to Maintain Prices
According to advices received in Fair
banks, the roadhouses ul mg ti e Oines T« 1»
vana i; ad have entered into an agreement
in t to serve meals for less than S-1.5U. The>
have each posted a forfei* of 2T as a guar
antee that the agreement will be kept.
Travelers who have used the trail exten
sively state that the meals at many of the
roadhouses are not all that em ld be de
signed. but considering the freight charges,
the price is reasonable enough.

INTERESTING DISCOVERY
EDMONTON. Feb. 14. News of a dis
covery by the Canadian explorer. Stcfans.snn.
of records made by one of the Franklin
Arctic exploration parties sixty-two years
! ago, is contained in the detailed report of
his explorations received here recently.
The records were those left by Mc.Clin
tock, an explorer who headed one of the
parties which went in search of Franklin in
1853. Curiously, they were found by Stef
ansson in the same month and on the same
day of the month as that on which they
were deposited, June 15, 1853. By another
coincidence, McCiintock’s records, left in a
cavern near Cape McClintcc-k. tell of this
explorer’s intention to travel three days
westward in search of new land. Stef ansson
instead traveled three days north and made
his discovery of a new continent.
In a cavern were various records, some
of which were illegible. Those that couJ l
be read recorded the fact that the ancient
party were all well and were about to pro
ceed west.
