THE FORTIFICATIONS.
The news with respect to the proposed government fortifi
cations for the protection of the coal terminus of the Matanus
ka fields was received with elation by this community. But we
mint not be content with mere elation at the prospect for the
early start on these great defense projects for Anchorage. We
must get in and boost the thing along. Seward iris already
taken action in the matter of fortifications for Resurrection
bay, and before this day is done Anchorage should place itself
on record as favoring the defense plans of (fenera! Weaver,
head of the coast defenses of this country.
The Times believes that the Seattle (’handier of Commerce
can, and will be glad to aid in the matter. And we must act
in a broad spirit. We must urge not only the fortifications
that will primarily benefit this community, but we must favor
General Weaver’s plan for the fortification of both lvnik Arm
and Resurrection bay. We must avoid discord with our neigh
boring town in this important matter. Seward’s Chamber of
Commerce and commercial bodies have taken this stand, as is
evidenced by the telegraphic report published in another col
umn.
Our Chamber of Commerce and our Boosters’ club should
take a vigorous stand in supporting General Weaver, whose
desire is to make an early start on the proposed fortifications
on Knik arm and on Resurrection bay. He is urging congress
to make the necessary appropriations. To assist him in gain
ing the appropriations is the work that lies before us at this j
time.
Here is splendid constructive work for us to do. >

COVERING INSANITY CASES.
In order to cure a glaring defect in the law relating to in
sanity cases, the attorney-general of Alaska has proposed the
following amendment to section S.'Jl, of the compiled laws of
ihe territory, which congress will be asked to pass at this ses
sion. The amendment proposed is so self-evident and so essen
tial, in view of the conditions in Alaska, that its passage will
remedy a defect that has long been observed by especially the
legal fraternity. Several cases that would come under the
head of the remedy sought in this amendment have come under
our observation. The proposed amendment follows:
“Whenever any person who has been adjudged insane un
der the foregoing provision of this section shall, subject to the
said adjudication, and while confined in any jail or detention
hospital in the territory of Alaska, evince substantial indica
tions of having become sane or of being restored to his normal
mental condition, the United States marshal in charge of such
jail or detention hospital shall, upon observing such indica
tions, or upon being reliably informed of them, notify in writ
ing a United States commissioner of such fact or of the infor
mation brought to bis attention, and the commissioner shall
thereupon forthwith institute a further or subsequent inquiry
with respect to such person’s then present mental condition,
which further or subsequent inquiry shall be conducted in all
respects in strict compliance with the foregoing provisions
of this section. And if the jury upon further or subsequent
bearing shall find the person to be sane or to have been restored
to bis normal condition, thereupon the commissioner presiding
at the bearing shall enter an order discharging.such person, so
found to be sane or to have been restored to bis or her formal
mental condition, and shall revoke and annul the warrant
theretofore issued requiring such person to bo delivered to
and confined in the asylum or sanitarium for the care and
keeping of the insane of the territory of Alaska.”

HIGH COST OF PRINT PAPER.
(Milling and Scientific Press)
Several daily newspaper* J(iu.ve doubled tlieir price and a
number of magazines have been compelled to increase their!
rates of subscription on account of the higher cost of paper.
Most of this is the result, not of a scarcity of wood-pulp, bleach,
and other materials used in the manufacture of paper, but of
a cinch—-in plain words, of a combination between the manu
facturers to raise prices, on the excuse that they expect to be
compelled to pay more for their crude material. The allega
tion that such a conspiracy does exist has been made by the
American Newspaper Publishers’ association, and it is to be
probed by the federal trade commission. The declaration of
huge dividends by the paper manufacturers is fairly good evi
dence that they are not suffering from any shortage. The
press ought to be able to protect itself against imposition. We
feel confident that it will be disclosed that the paper market,
like so many others, is being manipulated under cover of the
socplled effects of war; like the man who raised the price of
eggs and imputed the blame to “the War.” On being pressed
for an explanation, he stated that he had to send the shells t<
fturope! “War is shell.” Many of the greedy gentlemen that
are taking advantage of our necessities at this time have no
better reason for their extortionate demands.
