TONNAGE GOING TO WASTE
The nations of all the world are clamoring for addi
tional merchant ships. The United States government is
planning a tremendous shipbuilding program. Tonnage
is at the greatest premium in the world’s history. Ships
are paying for themselves in one or two voyages across
the Atlantic.
Despite these conditions ships come and go to Alaska
without their cargo space being completely fdled.
Established lines have continued to operate on regu
lar schedule despite alluring inducements to enter more
lucrative fields with at least some of the vessels they now
operate to Alaska. There would be no danger of any
change in schedule now were it not for a singular handi
cap.
At the very moment that the United States govern
ment is straining every resource to obtain transports to
carry troops and supplies to Europe, it is permitting the
transport Crook to operate between Anchorage and Seat
tle to transport government railway supplies, although
there is more than enough space on the ships of the regu
lar lines to transport all the supplies the government can
use. Because the Crook is carrying all the government
supplies, ships of established lines are coming to Alaska
with only partly filled holds.
As a result there is a grave possibility that the com
panies may reduce their sailings to Alaska. The Crook
is operating to Anchorage only temporarily and will be
removed as soon as the railroad is built, if not before. On
the other hand, the steamship companies have permanent
ly established connections with Alaskan ports.
Once the companies remove any vessels from the
Alaska service they will not be returned until after the
war, because of the big earnings offered elsewhere.
Ketchikan, Juneau, Cordova and Valdez are inter
ested in seeing present schedules maintained, for all would
be equally affected.

' - LANGLEY TALKS GOSPEL
It is refreshing occasionally to see a Congressman
display 24-karat horsesense. The other day during a
dreary series of speeches, John W. Langley of Kentucky,
a staunch Republican, uttered this gem:
“Democrat though he is, I would rather have Pres
ident Wilson tell me when and what to eat than to have
the Kaiser do it. As between Wilson and Wilhelm I am
for Wilson.”
That comes pretty near being straight United States.
Without any mincing of words it shows that in this
crisis in the nation’s alTairs he who opposes reasonable
food regulation as advocated by President Wilson is ren
dering great aid and comfort to the German enemy.—Ex.

HIGH SPEED SERVICE
The telegraph job of getting to western papers the
numbers drawn at Washington for the army draft was
the most stupendous one in twenty years.
As telegraphers count the figures, the Associated
Press handled day and night a total of nearly 30,000
words in figures alone, a marvelous accomplishment when
the fact is taken into consideration that the utmost care
was exercised in getting the figures as they actually were
registered in Washington.
