Better Protection
Captain Sehage speaking to a repre
sentative of the Post-Intelligencer con
cerning the wrecking of the steamer
Saratoga says:
“The authorities should make some
attempt to provide better lighthouse
protection in Alaska at once. This
time there was no loss of life, but
there i> no telling when there may be.
If you will look at the charts you will
see that there is not a single light in
the United States possessions from
near the Canadian boundary until you
get away around to the ‘west'ard* at
Unimak pass. This covers a distance
of 1,500 miles and contains hundreds
of ports, and there are ships traveling
up and down all the time. There are
numbers of buoys and cans, but these
are all small and few of them remain
in place. Those that do are hard to
see.
“Going into Prince William sound
by the Prince of Wales channel from
the ‘wesfc’ard’ there ought to be a light
at Cape Cleare andj another at Cape
Resurrection.”

While in the canal zone Secretary

whether he came in connection with
the relations with Panama, the Pnited
! States and Colombia, said:
“I have not come to make any treat
ies, but there are situations leading up
to possible treaties that have to be in
vestigated. Then there is considera-j
hie agitation, if I can judge by Hie cor
respondence, over quest ions that have
arisen between the Isthmian Canal
Commission and the Republic of Pan
. ama.
\1 have also come to see aboic the
boundary differences between Panama

matter of the seizure of the town of

McGovern To Be Tried in Valdez
J. D. McGovern, wanted here for
swindling A. L. Levy & Co. out of
$2,000 will be brought back on the
steamship Portland. McGovern was
arrested in Seattle and is in the cus
tody of Deputy Marshal Bowers, who
cabled Assistant District Attorney L.
V. Ray that the prisoner will be
brought here.
McGovern resisted requisition but
the habeas corpus proceeding he
brought failed of its purpose. He
first expressed a willingness to accom
pany the officer if he could be taken
into Fairbanks by the way of Skag
way, but this request was refused.
McGovern was indicted by the grand
jury a year ago last March.—Valdez

Hartford, Cdnn.—Salvation and
soothing syrup will go hand in hand, if
the plan of the Memorial Baptist
! church meets with the success which
its originality deserves. The deacons
of the church have noticed a falling off
in the number of married women who
attended service, care of babies in
almost every instance being given as
the cause. With the aproval of a ma
jority of the congregation, the church
has now decided to open a baby bureau,
where the infants may be checked
while the mother gets divine conso
lation.
For a square meal and a square deal
