BIG TOURIST YEAR
There is every indication that the
coming summer will see a large tour
ist travel to Alaska. Already a large
number of reservations have been
made for accommodations on steam
ers leaving Puget Sound during the
next three months.
After a few seasons the sightseers
will want to go to Europe to view the
scenes of the Great War. They are
barred froril that zone now by the
chaotic conditions existing there. The
natural outlet for the present is the
West and the North. Alaska will get
her share. Western states and prov
inces appreciate the value and annual
ly vote sums for encouraging the
traffic.
DEEP SEA INQUEST
The Briitsh have been holding a
naval inquest over the war. They
have been trying to find out what was
the matter with the British navy.
Until recently there has been a very
defiant outcry that nothing whatever
was wrong with the British navy. But
now, recently, have come Admiral Vis
count Jellicoe and others to testify
that the armada which the British had
always looked upon as a sufficient
and invulnerable bulwark, had not
functioned with quite the smoothness
and efficiency that had been expected.
We- now read that the grand fleet was
less adequately protected than the
German with destroyers and that
there was a time when the Germans
might have taken up aggresive sur
face operations—in addition to their
submarine campaign—with some
slight hope of success. We may sus
pect that these admissions have in
them a dash of propaganda; the prep
aration of the British public for furth
er naval outlays. But at the same
time they do reveal facts which we
are glad the Germans did not know at
the time the war was on.
inc auiiuooiuais uiuuc uj uic in uion
sea lords, however, do not, it is to be
feared, touch the real trouble. The
British always had machinery enough
to meet the Germans anywhere on
any terms. They nad trained, effi
cient and brave seamen in abundance.
They had bright young officers of the
line and the staff, competent for every
duty. But what the British navy
lacked, just as all British endeavor
has seemed in a way to lack for a
long time, was point of view and in
itiative. There seems no doubt that,
while British manliness had held true
to its traditions, British force has in
some way been showing a deteriorat
ing trend. British leaders have in so
many cases seemed to fall a little
short of being in touoh with the latest
developments. It has been so in com
merce and it has been so In war.
British naval leadership in this com
diet has, despite British courage and
British sportsmanship and British
seamanship and British gunnery, and
the fact that the existence of the Brit
ish-pa vy made it possible for the
United States to win the war for the
entente—British naval leadership has,
let us repeat, lacked something of the
insight, the initiative, the resourceful
ness that must be a part of greatness.
Under the management of B. M.
Stone and editorship of Edward G.
Morrlsey the Ketchikan Times is one
of the newsiest daily papers in Alaska.
It is also pleasing to note that the
merchants of our neighboring town
show their appreciation of these old
timers to give them an up-to-date
newspaper by a liberal patronage of
its advertising columns.
Memorial Day next Friday and a
more appropriate observance of the
day could not be held here than the
one planned, namely the dedication of
a memorial to our boys who lost their
lives in the service of their country.
If you change your address, do not
notify the carrier boy—report your
new address to the office.
VOICE OF THE ALA8KA PRE88
Money Is a delightful thing to have;
but the man who allows it to become
his master loses the joys of life and
is condemned to slavery worse than
humanity can devise. The man who
makes his money work for him has a
life brimful of happiness and useful
ness; the man who works for his
money }s doomed to a misery which is
added to dollar by dollar.—Valdez
Miner.
Interior Alaskans should not permit
themselves to become disheartened as
the result of the curtailment of rail
road activities. The period of inac
tivity will work more or less of a
hardship upon both workers and busi
nessmen, but it will not be of long
duration. The government is engaged
in an enterprise which must be com
pleted speedily, if at all, and there is
every reason to believe that funds suf
ficient to resume operations will be
provided by congress within the next
few weeks.—Nenana News.
Indications are that the revenues
of Ketchikan this year will be be
tween $55,000 and $60,000. With the
construction of a municipal dock
under a consideration and much need
ed, the council must sharpen its pen
cil and figure long and carefully. It
should prepare its budget immediately
for the benefit of the members of the
council, for the better administration
of the affairs of the city, and for the
information of the taxpayers—Ketchi
kan Times.
