IT MAY BE that before this paper goes to press the result of the grea>
battle raging east of Paris will be known to the world and that one side o,’
the other will have earned its right to be the domi
BATTLE FOR A nant combination in the affairs ot the continent o.
CONTINENT Europe for centuries to come. Of course, it max
also be that victory in this one battle will mean onlx
the temporary falling back of one ot the armies and that the losers maj oi
more pull themselves together as the allied armies have done after their de
feats on the Belgian) frontier, but it looks to a layman as it deteat in this en
counter would mean disaster.
Perhaps no more momentous battle has ever been waged in t u is or*
of the world. Its effects will undoubtedly be felt for a long, long time in al.
parts of this mundane sphere for with the disappearance of its smoke ma>
disappear the power of some of the great nations and from that smoki nni\
arise a power in the affairs of the world which has never been paralleled
Should Germany win in the present war she w ill probably demand as the pnci
of peace some of the colonies which she has so long and so badly needed am
to protect her interests abroad there will arise a navy that will gi\e hei tin
command of the seas. Should she lose she will probably tall back to i
position which will stand about on a footing for influence comparable to thi
footing which Prussia alone had before the war of 1870. Austria will losi
her Slav provinces and without a question Russia will bring about the sep
aration of the dual kingdoms so that the present Austria empire will b<
divided into nations of about the same standing as Bulgaria and Roumania
for this has long been the ambition of the Slavs of Russia, Servia and the
other nations in the same part of Europe.
THERE ARE verj few people even in Alaska who have been aware that
in this part of the territory there are three mines working which in a few
months have produced nearly a quarter of a million dollars in gold.
In addition to the mines which are being operated there are ledges being
discovered constantly which will some day undoubtedly draw the attention
of the mining world to this section. The nio>t expert miners tell us that we
have a showing in quartz which is equal to if not better than any showing
made in any other part of the territory, not excluding Juneau or any place
else. To make proper use of our resources it will be necessary, of course, t*'
secure the means of transportation but to secure the means of transportation
it might be necessary first to let the world know what we have.
No doubt the members of the government railroad commission will take
into account the undeveloped resources of each district when they send in
their report to the president. With such a conviction before us how can we
doubt what the president’s final decision will be?

every minute of the day. You
can depend on him not merely
to wake you on time, but to keep
fine time and run along time.
He’s heavy, massive, hand
some. He weighs three times
as much as an ordinary alarm.
He lasts three times as long.
He’s got a big, frank, open
face you can easily read in the
dim morning light, a cheerful,
deep-toned voice that will wake
you on your sleepiest morning.
He’s a great clock for those
who’ve got to get up in time
and live on time. He’s the one
alarm clock you can always
count on.

Capt. Moore was born at Bangor,

his life was spent at sea. The longest
time he was away from a vessel’s
dink was when he served as deputy

this year he assumed command of the
steamship Admiral Sampson.
Capt. Moore’s father, Capt W. C.
Moore, and a brother, C. A. Moore,
reside in Port Townsend. Three
nieces survive, all living in this city.
They are Misses Georgia, Iris and Al
vera Moore. A sister-in-law, Mrs.
Augusta Moore, also lives here. An
other brother, Arthur, resides at Pas
adena, Cal.—Seattle Times.

If Seattle desires to Injure her
standing in Alaska and Portland de
sires to help hers, Seattle will return
Humphrey to congress and Portland
will return Chamberlain to the sen
ate.—Juneau Empire.

terday caused the arrest of Otto
