A CANNERY EVERY THOUSAND MILES
%
In the stretch of country between Port Graham and
Cordova, about 300 miles direct, with about 2,000 miles of
coast line, there will he two canneries in operation, both
being built this season. One at Seward and the other at
Port Nellie Juan, one hundred and fifty miles apart, which
is not very thick in a country where there is plenty of fish.
The possibilities of fish and fishing on the Alaskan
coast for the poor man cannot he exaggerated. On the
shores of Resurrection bay there is room for hundreds of
families, and other parts of the coast will furnish homes
for thousands.
With a few barrels of salt, some tools and a boat aj
man can go in hundreds of places and carve out a home;
for himself; the sea furnishes his crop, and all he has to
do is to gather and make ready for the market; the land
will furnish him with vegetables, etc., and his home can
l>e built of logs, water is furnished at his back door by na
ture, and all it requires is energy and backbone and a
small capital to start with. j
Why will a man slave out his life for a corporation,
working for a wage that is barely enough to keep body
and soul together, when nature offers him so much?
It is up to the chamber of commerce to keep grinding
until we have the same number of canneries that theyi
have in southeastern Alaska, in an equal distance.
THE NEW NAPOLEON
- ]
Recent uncensored news from Germany brings word 1
that it is not the kaiser, or yet again, the German people
who are openly inviting war against the United States,!
but the iron man behind the throne, General von Luden
dorff. i
“Ludendorff is for it,” is the most repeated phrase in j (
all Germany today. He, it seems, is the real Hindenberg,
while the man bearing the name only executes the plans;
of the master mind.
Back it: 11)14 it was Ludendorff, quartermaster-gener
al of the army, who hustled to the esatern front when the
Russians were crushing through toward Berlin. On the
way he gathered up Hindenberg, and the result is well
known. He put his systems of war control into effect in |
the occupied districts of Russia and now has applied them
to all Germany.
»
His voice in political affairs comes from the confi-,
dence shown in him and his influence in the entourage of
the kaiser. He has never failed thus far.
When Hindenberg succeeded von Falkenhayn as head
of the general staff it was really Ludendorff who became
chief, and he at once set about correcting the errors of his
predecessor. Falkenhayn attempted to fix the maximum
consumption of ammunition and munitions and work up;
to it, and his estimate was sadly insufficient. Ludendorff;
determined to produce the maximum amount capable.
To this end he brought about the auxiliary labor ser
vice, conversion of industry to an absolute war basis, the
transfer of Belgians to German fields and factories,
tightening of the food regulations and the enlisting of an
armv of a 1,000,000 women to relieve the men wherever
possible, right up to the firing lines in order that the men
might serve with the guns.
His final effort is unrestricted submarine warfare.
“Ludendorff is for it,” so Germany is for it. He dis
likes Americans and is open in his contempt for our mili
tary power though aware of its potentialities. He holds
that with the submarines Germany can bring England to
her knees during the next three months, and that we will
he unable to bring any organization to bear until this war
is finished.
His nerve must be admired even if his plans go wrong.

THE BIBLE
Oh! This book is the hive of all sweetness, the arm
ory of all well tempered weapons, the tower containing
the crown jewels of the universe, the lamp that kindles all
other lights, the home of all majesties and spendors, the
stepping stone on which heaven stoops to kiss the earth
with its glories, the marriage ring that unites the celestial
and the terrestrial, while all the clustering white-robed
multitudes of the sky stand 'round to rejoice at the nup
tials. This book is the wreath into which are twisted all
garlands, the song into which hath poured all the great
tides of allelujahs, the firmament in which all suns and
moons and stare and constellations and galaxies and im
mensities and universes and eternities wheel -and blaze
and triumph.—(T. Dewitt Talmadge.)
