THE DOG PROBLEM.
Eikf* every other Alaska eoimmity, Anchorage. sooner or
later, will have to settle the dog problem. And this presents a
real problem, too, because there are two sides to this question.
The problem is. Shall dogs be allowed to roam at largo in the
community, or shall they hi* tied or penned up. as the owners
may elect.' As every Alaskan knows, the dog is a beast of
burden in the northland. What the pack horse or the donkey
is to tin* prospector in the western states, the dog is to the pros
pector iu Alaska. If not our most useful animal, the dog ranks
as at- least one of the most useful and serviceable. The dog is
used in most of our mail teams, and practically all of our win
ter mushing teams, going over roads and trails that t ho horse
could not accomplish. The dog is a valuable animal ami one
whose services arc* recognized bv Alaskans.
kJ
IJiit in the slimmer time, the Hog lias no employment, it
lies about the streets, on tlie* sidewalks, in front of the business
entrances, and generally manages to make itself a nuisance to
pedestrians. Not only that, hut a dog that is part native is
liable to be a menace to small children. If a child falls, a pack
of these dogs is just as liable as not to attack the little one.
These attacks are not numerous, but they occur, and they are
as liable to occur in this community as elsewhere. As to gar
dens, it is quite impossible to think of raising anything unless
one builds a fence as a protection against these playful ani
nials, who, just for the fun of the thing, will romp round and
ruin the growing plant life.
Of coin#, tin* owner of the dog will say, let the household
or fence his garden, and the householder will insist that the
dogs should not be allowed to invade private grounds. But
the fencing of the gardens does not solve the problem, because
there is the menace to the little ones remaining.
As we see it, either the children or the dogs must he denied
tlie liberty of the streets, and as much as we like the dogs, we
like the children better and shall vote in favor of the dogs being
kept within the confines of the owner’s property, lhat i- the
way other Alaska towns have settled this problem.
The destruction of three of the great gold mines on Doug
las island, by subsidence and flood waters from the sea. is a
distinct loss to Alaska. These great mines have long been a
standing advertisement for the territory, as evidencing its
mineral wealth. For over JO years they have provided profit
able employment for large forces ot miners and they have
yielded great profits to the owners. To those who have been
following the mining industry, the disaster comes as no par
ticular surprise, regrettable as it is. Several months ago a
mining journal published at San Francisco foretold just su<-h
a disaster as has occurred, due to faulty mining operations at
the inception of development.
Now comes the belated information that the two steam
ship lines operating boats from Seattle to Anchorage propose
to increase the freight and passenger rates.- The only remark
able thing about this news is that the increase did not go into
effect a week or two sooner, when about everything else on
earth that man requires began to soar skyward. Ot course,
these steamship lines are not in a combine, or anything of that
kind, and it will only he a coincidence when the new rates are
published and found to he the same. _

GUARDING THE COPPER
RIVER VALLEY AND R. R. |
(Cordova Times.)
Since a state of war was declared
strong guards have been placed on the
Copper River railroad bridges as the
owners of the road and the copper
mines realize that the Germans might
bend their endeavors to stop the sup
ply of copper which is now so useful
to the allied nations, including the
United States. On each of the big
bridges of the road guards are kept
working eight-hour shifts at six dol
lars each per day. Amongst the
guards on the Kuskalina bridge, by the
ivay is Tom Holland, who was form
trly a member ofthe legislature.

THE STORY OF THE FAITHFUL WIFE.
There was a certain Female Woman who thought that a Wife should be
a Real Helpmate, and do any little thing she could to help Husband the
Family Bank Roll. While competing for a Silver Bon Bon Dish at a Bridge
Party she heard her partner telling about the wonderful results from San
Tox Cold Cream she bought from Z. J. Loussac’s Drug Store.
With ears open she drank in experiences showing that this cold cream
would cleanse and beautify the skin, that it is soothing and healing and will
not grow hair, is cheaper than other creams, and that altogether it is very
desirable. •
This Resourceful Charmer escaped a chiding for having neglected her
Household Duties by informing Friend Husband how he could have money
and have a more Beautiful Wife through her buying San-Tox Cold Cream
at Loussac’s; and she did to their Mutual Delight and Profit.
MORAL: The experience of others is just as valuable as your own—
and it costs less.

NATIVES OF PRIBILOFF
TO GET CASH FOR FOX
SKINS INSTEAD OF CREDIT j
_ f
WASHINGTON, April 5.—Natives
of Ahe Prililoff islands in AJaska here
after are to be paid $5 in cash for
each fox pelt they bring in, ur}^er the
terms of a decision by Comptroller of
the Treasury Warwick.
Heretofore Pribiloff natives have
ben paid for their pelts with credits
for trading at the government stores.
The natives are wards of the govern
ment, and are fed out of these stores.
Compensation in goods has not prov
en sufficiently stimulating to the Prib
iloff natives, however, and, at the
suggestion of Secretary of Commerce
Hedfield, the $5 cash payments are
to be made to encourage the natives
in producing the pelts. The money
is to come from the proceeds of the
sales by the government of the fox
fur, which brings a high price in the
states.
