It has often been said in this column that Alaska may
be made the scene of many experiments in government
ownership and government operation of public utilities
now that the ice is broken with the government railroad
and sure enough now comes the operation of a govern
ment passenger service on the ocean with the sailings ot
the transport Crooks to Alaska ports from Seattle. It
really looks more likely than ever that the government has
decided to try this government ownership on a general
scale in this district. All this part of Alaska has become
a huge government reserve or “preserve.” To carry out
the scheme it was necessary to have a port city which
would be completely and directly under the sway of the
Washington officials whether this city and port were the
more perfect or not. Does this throw any light on a prob
lem which has vexed the people of this city so long — a
problem which might be presented by a question as to
whether the government has not chosen one particular
city along the line of route as the city to be advanced at
the expense of others?
Whenever stores of war munitions blow up the public,
naturally, is inclined to attribute the occurrence to sym
pathizers of the enemy of the owners of such munitions,
but it should always be remembered that ammunition is
not the least combustible stuff known to science. It is the
business of ammunition to go off with an explosion and it.
is manufactured with an eye to making it explode with
the least possible difficulty. Great ammunition factories
have been established hurriedly all over this country since ,
the great war began and the wonder would be if no ex
plosions took place. Many of the employees of such Pact- i
ories must be amateurs and like new’ powder monkeys on
railroads they, no doubt, very often cause those explosives
to give premature birth to their death dealing properties,
if such a bull may be allowed. The arrest of the men in
charge of the plant at Black Tom Island suggests to the
mind a suspicion of the authorities that the company of
ficials were not very careful in guarding their munitions.
THE VALDEZ CONVENTION
“Pleasant it is for Little Tin Gods
when Great Jove nods;
But Little Tin Gods make their little
mistakes
In missing the hour when Great Jove
wakes.”
The little tin gods at Valdez took
advantage of Louie P.’s absence anti
turned a trick. Now Louie is head
ed this way from Seattle and the earth
will tremble when he begins reckon
ing with the little tin men. When the
cat is absent the mice have an inning.

CORDOVA, July 24. — Arrange
ments have heen completed whereby
the Pioneer Packing Company, which ,
had started the erection of a clam ,
cannery on Hawkins island, have been
enabled to obtain a building site near
the approach to the ocean dock, and
work has already begun on the erec
tion of the necessary buildings.
When the Pioneer Packing Com
pany first decided to come to Cordova
efforts were made to get a site on
deep water. The only site available
t
was near the ocean dock but at that
time it was impossible to make satis
factory terms, and the work was ,
started on Hawkins island. For the
