THE SURE AND QUICK WAY.
And, by the the way, there are, besides game laws and
regulations, other legislative and departmental jokes inflicted
upon Alaska. Like unto the game laws, these, too, are tolerated,
where not ignored by the people, rather than to make an organ
ized effort to bring about amendment.—Petersburg Report.
Why not ask Congress to strike the limitations from our
ganic act, and then we could arrange the game laws, the school
laws, the tax laws and’ the other things complained of ourselves
through our own Legislature? That would be the quick and
sure way to remedy most of our ills.—Ex.

JUST A LITTLE PEACE TALK.
The house of commons is going to hear, maybe, some talk
about peace. Mr. Asquith is going to be asked if he still clings
to Ids declaration, made in the beginning, that England is not
going to quit fighting until Germany is crushed'. George Bern
ard Shaw, as frank as he is wise, sees the absuridity of the
Asquith pronuncement and says that while Germany should be
driven out of BelgTun, “there can be no thought of crushing
Germany.”
This very sane view has begun to pervade the British in
tellect, and it is an excellent indication of returning sanity.
There are whispers of peace in Germany, too. Germany, not
having registered a solemn pledge to crush England, will not
have to retreat quite so far, but enough has been said in the
kaiser’s realm to emphaize the braggadocia of war times.
Germany, at least, has some hate songs for the waste basket.
Shaw says peace should be concluded on terms that will
enable the warring nations to respect each other after it’s all
over. The Shavian purview is percolating. England cannot
crush Gormanv; Germany cannot crush England. Forget it.

WHY GO TO ALASKA?
Who go to Alaska? People of all sorts and conditions.
The investor, who knows that in a new country money is in de
mand at high rates of interest, ami is willing, therefore, to suf
fer the hardships a new country imposes; the prospector in
search of a fortune in mining, and the farmer or ranchman
seeking a homestead on which to spend the rest ot his life and
lake advantage of the opportunities a growing country always
offers. There are many of these agricultural pursuits, because
Alaska is offering perhaps the last of the greater opportunities
for the United States to give away good farms. Nearly half ot
the land in the Cluigach national forest in Alaska, to which the
government railroad is to run, has been restored to the public
domain by President \\ ilson. 1 his embraces jyi area of nearly
<>,()( )l),l)()() acres, but homesteaders are warm'd that the chances
of locating on the withdrawn land are not encouraging, as it
contains few agricultural areas.
The department of agriculture is about to publish a report
o ntlie agricultural possibilities of Alaska. It annonuces that
the impression that Alaska is a region of inhospital mountains,
glaciers and snow without farming possibilities, while in part
true, overlooks the fact that there are millions of acres of re
latively low, smooth land and gentle slopes in various parts of
the country which are topographically and climatically suited
to farming.-Leslie’s Weekly.

ANCHORAGE LOOKING AHEAD.
In discussing the outlook for Anchorage the Cook Inlet
Pioneer says:
Should the national congress soon to convene appropriate
the sum of nine million dollars—the amount that will be asked
for by Secretary of the Interior Lane—for continuation of con
struction work on the Alaska government railway project, there
will bo a boom in Anchorage.
Why? you may inquire.
Given such an amount, the Alaskan Engineering Commis
sion will have on its payrolls between four thousand and’ five
thousand men. Perhaps three-fourths of the railway employes
will receive their pay checks at Anchorage—that is to say, this
point will be the headquarters, or administration office, for the
big force that will be employed between Anchorage and the
Jvfatanuska coal fields, for it is well understood that the coal
line will be completed and placed in operation before any con
siderable construction will be undertaken on the main interior
line.
We believe this to be a fair statement of the case, in the light
of information now available. If between .‘5,000 and 4,000 men
are employed in active railway construction in this division of
railway work. It requires no vivid’ imagination or gift of
prophesy to predict that Anchorage will be the mecca for
thousands of people in the states or in other parts of Alaska.
-:o:-- --
The graveyards of Europe are onjoyingflnn intensive pros
perity. It is said the armies of the central powers have lost
5 000,000 men, not all dead, of course, and many of them back
on the firing lines. A writer in Leslie’s Weekly says the allies
have lost more men than that. If so the total is above 10,000,
000_a casualty list that benumbs the imagination.
