THE DOG NUISANCE
Many complaints have been tiled
with the Daily Time.- during th3 past
few weeks against allowing dog* to
run at large in Cordova, and it is
gratifying to know that the civ au
thorities have taken the matter in
hand and propose to abate the nuis
ance. Numerous warnings were is
sued to the owners of canines that
they must be kept off the streets, but
no heed was paid to them, and as a
result scores of dogs have enjoyed the
freedom of the city, to the inconveni
ence of pedestrians and great annoy
ance of those who desired to enjoy a
little rest and sleep at night. In fact,
the dogs have had the run of the town
until finally a number of citizens in
sisted that they, too, had some rights
in the matter.
The local authorities have now
taken the matter in hand and the main
thoroughfare is no longer the camping
ground for these dogs; neither do they
make night hideous by their continual
fighting. As was to be expected, a
few individuals have objected to the
enforcement of the dog ordinance, but
the general public appreciates the ef
forts of the city officials to rid the
town of this nuisance, and will back
them up in the good work begun,
which should be carried to a success
ful conclusion.
HATCHERIES ARE NEEDED
The need of hatcheries in Alaska
was never more apparent than at the
present time. The waters of this terri
tory have been overfished during the
past few years, and unless a more sat
isfactory system of fish propagation is
adopted this industry will not continue |
to be one of the mainstays of the coast j
towns.
It is the opinion of many experts
that the fisheries are being depleted,
and some immediate action must be
taken. The most important step to
increase the salmon run is to clean
out the streams and protect the nat
ural spawning grounds.
Under the caption of “Protecting
the Salmon” the Juneau Dispatch has
the following to say:
“Down in Oregon legislation has
been passed protecting ‘small sal
mon.’ At a meeting recently the can
ners of the Columbia river met and
agreed to live up to the letter of the
law. The law provides that no salmon
can be canned less than twenty inches
in length. As a result the canners
refuse to buy small salmon and they
have to be released by the seiners and
others.
“What Alaska really needs is co
operation between federal and terri
torial government to formulate regu
lations and laws to protect the fisher
ies. Governor Riggs should see that
men are placed on the territorial fish
eries board who will strive to accom
plish these things. A determined
member of that board should be in
Washington this winter to advise the
bureau of fisheries just what is needed.
He should have the support of every
commercial body in Alaska.”

WILL DEPICT
IDEALS, NOT
CHARACTERS
ROME, June 10 (Correspondence of
Associated Press).—Pietro Mascagni,
known to everyone as the composer of
“Cavalleria Rusticana” and numerous
other musical works, has written a
new opera, “II Piccolo Marat,” which
is characterized here as distinctly a
revolutionary step in operatic works.
It contains no personalities as char
acters in the story, but it substitutes
for them symbolic representations of
virtues and ideals similar to the Amer
ican pageant.
“I expect to produce my new opera
next winter in Rome,” said Signor
Mascagni to the Associated Press cor
respondent. “The theme is founded
on the conflict of ideas between the
autocrat and the democrat, between
oppression and freedom. The time of
it, of course, is not limited to any one
period. The opera is symbolic of
many periods, and would just as read
ily apply to the stirring times of the
American revolution as it would to the
French revolution, or the Russian, or
the Bavarian.
“I have no characters in the pro
duction representing any particular
personalities. There is no Napoleon,
Metternich or Garibaldi. My charac
ters represent the ideas for which
men have striven and also the ideas
which have endeavored to keep man
in subjection. There is a character
for Justice, for Truth, for Freedom;
and, on the other hand, for Tyranny,
for Ignorance, for Wrong. The plan
in my work has been to depict in song
the evolution of man from a slave to
a freeman through the instrumental
ity of characters representing the ab
stract qualities for which man fought,
and on the contrary, the qualities he
fought against.”
PRESIDENT OF SHANTUNG
WANTS PROVINCE GIVEN
BACK TO HIS PEOPLE
PARIS, June 10 (by mail).—Kong
Siang-Koo, direct descendant in the
seventy-fifth generation from Confu
cius, and president of the provincial
council of Shantung province, is
among the well-known Chinese who
have recently arrived in Paris to urge
a reconsideration of the conference de
cision to turn Shantung province over
to the Japanese.
Mr. Kong speaks English and, like
all the other members and attaches of
the Chinese delegation, wears modern
clothes.
He is most eloquent in his plea for
a restoration to China immediately of
the historic province which Germany
wrested away from it by force. China’s
sacred mountain, Tai-shan, and the
home of Confucius make this province
more sacred to Chinese than any other
portion of the republic.
“We thought German imperialism
had been driven out of China,” Mr.
Kong said in a recent talk to news
paper men; “but it has only been sup
planted by the imperialism of Japan,
which is even a greater menace to
China.”
BATTLE OF ARGONNE
IS COMMEMORATED BY
AMERICAN MONUMENTS
VERDUN, June 15 (by mail).—
Monuments to commemorate the
achievements of the Americans in the
battle of the Argonne are being built,
details of the work being attended to
by different army units.
A series of concrete monuments,
adorned with German machine guns,
and in some instances with German
helmets and rifles, has been put up
to mark the front line of a division
advance or to tell of the capture of a
certain village by some regiment. Most
of the monuments are being placed in
prominent places near the main roads,
when possible, so that they will serve
as guide posts for tourists visiting the
scenes where the Americans fought
their greatest battle on French soil.
