ANNUAL REPORT OF GOVERNOR
RIGGS
In his annual report, Governor
Riggs, Jr., strikes right from the
shoulder and tells the Federal auth
orities back in Washington just what
is the matter with Alaska. There is
much food for thought in the govern
or’s virile report. He lays the respon
sibility for the delay in the develop
ment of the great latent resources of
the territory upon what he very vivid
ly described as a “lack of intelligent
government assistance,” and the par
simonious appropriations passed by
the congress, which forbid a compre
hensive development scheme. The
governor says the people of Alaska
do not appeal to the congress as sup
plicants for bounty, but only ask to
develop her resources, unhampered by
harsh governmental restrictions. The
governor recites that while congress,
at the last session, passed an appro
priation of $100,000,000 for the relief
of the suffering peoples of Europe, it
declined to pass an appropriation of
$100,000 for the relief of the influen
za-stricken natives of Alaska.
The governor deals at some length
with the radical menace in Alaska,
w'hich he says is real, and not fan
cied. He says, “It does not seem
right that the decent, honest, law
abiding majority should not receive
full protection at all times, thus im
plying that such protection is not*, at
all times, available.
The report makes the following
legislative recommendations:
Reimbursement of the territory for
money spent for the relief of the
natives.
Consolidation of all governmental
authority possible in the department
of the interior.
Removal of restrictions on export of
birch timber from public lands.
Establishment of a uniformed con
stablunrv.
Assignment of naval or coast guard
ships to continuous duty in Alaskan
waters.
Transfer of jurisdiction over fish
eries to the territory.
Assistance to farmers by loan of
money and cattle.
Appropriation for Mount McKinley
national park.
Increased telegraph service.
Increased appropriation for work
among the natives.
Increased appropriations for the pro
tection of game and the suppression
of the liquor traffic.
Increased appropriation for the es
tablishment of aids to navigation.
Increased appropriations for coast
surveys.
Renewal of mail contract system
for the delivery of mail.
BLITHERING IDIOCY
Arises from the North, the Benjam
in Franklin of Alaska, the mighty
wielder of pen, the leader of men, the
molder of public sentiment, the re
volutionist and patriot, the man who
will have monuments raised in his
honor, and the children read of him
in story books. That is, he pictures
himself in that light, it would appear
from the blithering idiocy in which he
writes and which he succeeds in in
ducing the Dearborn Weekly, Henry
Ford’s paper, to print, and which was
copied a few days ago in the Chron
icle, to show the sourdoughs of the
north what rot is being published
about them. And while he may pic
ture himself as the emancipator, his
fellow Alaskans will consider him eith
er a meddling idiot or a dangerous
trouble-maker.
He talks of the burdens being
heaped upon the backs of the Alas
kans until they are unbearable and
of the possibility of their rising :o
liberate themselves, intimating by
force of arms. Absurd and untrue.
There has been much talk of home
rule and even statehood, but no sane
person in the North has ever thought
of any course except the American
course, the ballot and legislation.
And if the unfortunate who ha3
possibly lived alone in the hills of the
north so long that he Imagines all he
wrote to be true, he is to he pitied,
but the editor of a so-called national
publication, or its financial guardian
angel, who is presumed to have at
least ordinary intelligence, should
have better sense than to publish
anything suggesting or intimating re
volution. It puts Mr. Ford’s weeklv
in the same class as the radical T.
W. W. and bolshevik sheets, and lika
them it should be kept from the
mails.—Ketchikan Chronicle.

The collosal ignorance of most city
newspaper men on all matters per
taining to mining is amazing. And
without the acquired ability to dif
derentiate between a piece of porphy
and a piece of frozen horse manure,
they have the impudence to be sur
prised when the mining men refuse to
talk to them for publication. Mining
men are disgusted, and right.’/ so,
with the v.ay they have beer, mb
quoted.—Hyder Miner.
Mayor Petty has announced that the
ordinance recently passed by the city
council regc'.'ijig the sale of radical
literature in the corporate limits of
the city would be rigidly enforced by
the municipal authorities. Complaints
have been received by the mayor in
the past few days about the sale of
these papers and inagizines in Ketch
ikan and yesterday one of the news
boys was ordered to discontinue ihe
sale of them on the street. The
mayor stated that he believed the
Seattle Union Record, Forge and the
British Columbia Federationist
come under the scope of the new or
dinance and that the sale of these
papers will not he allowed in Ihe city
hereafter.—Ketchikan Times.

WHERE ONCE WEALTHY HUNGARIANS TAKE REFUGE
Scene in the pretty and famous town of Carlsbad, Bohemia, where the nobility and once wealthy people of J
Hungary took refuge when the communists and other revolutionists gained the upper hand in their country.
IS THE SMALL HAT DOOMED?
Indication Favorable to Broadness
Through Hips Points to Wide or
Tall Headgear.
There are some smart women who
never feel smartly dressed for the
street unless they are wearing a small
hat. This does not mean that the
small hat is any smarter—simply that
some women feel smarter when wear
ing it, and there is no denying the fact
that it is vustly easier to keep one’s
locks trim and in place under a small
hat than a large one.
Undoubtedly it would be very hard
for a good many women ever to give
up the small hat. Yet there are times
when small huts are quite out of fash
ion. A couple of decades ago no one
but old women in their weeds wore
small hats, and those small huts were
bonnets. When the so-called toque
came in it was a real novelty.
And there are those who say that
with the dress silhouette tending
whither it now is the small hat will
simply have to go. If we are to wear
skirts that give the effect of broad
ness through the hips we will look
absurd in our small hats. The only
way to finish the picture as it should
be finished will he to wear wide
brimmed huts or very tall hats. The
very high headdress of the period of
Louis XV in France was worn to coun
teract the dwarfing effect of the wide
hipped pannier frock and when full
skirts were in vogue some twelve or
fifteen years ago hats that were ex
tremely wide—so wide that you could
not have worn one into a telephone
booth without holding your head side
wise—came into vogue.

FABRICS FOR KIDDIES’ COATS
Velvets and Woolens Are Favored;
Frocks of Velveteen and Serge
in Brown.
Fashions for the small girl always
retlect to a certain extent the modes
for grown-ups. With little folk it is
not so much a matter of line as of
color and material, and whether the
grown-ups are straight of line or have |
their skirts bouffant does not concern
the small girl for whom both straight
line and the full skirt are modish.
But many of the season’s colorings
are admirable for child wear and the
velvets and woolens make charming
coat materials for the small girl.
Brown is a favorite shade this season
In childland. All the browns that
mothers and big sisters affect are pos
<-.iliie for little sister.
She may have her coat of castor
velours de luine trimmed with nutria
or beaver, her duvetyn bordered in
darker brown fur, her African brown
velvet lined with creamy rose satin
and trimmed with braid embroidery.
There are even some delightful lit
tle brown frocks for her, simple,
medium tone brown serges, wun white
or eeju collars and smart little patent
leather belts; quaint brown velveteen
sleeveless frocks, worn over yellow
guimpes in crepe de chine.
But when she wears dark frocks at
all. blue is still her favorite color, and
dark blue fine twill serge the small
girl’s chosen material. The things the
child outfitters do to those blue serge
dresses are almost us interesting and
varied as the things the designers do _
to the inevitable dark blue serge
frocks for older girls.
If you change your addTess, do not
notify the carrier boy—report your
new address to the office.
