MUCH DISCUSSION OVER
NEW ORDER CONCERNING
USE OF CANADIAN COIN
The discount on Canadian money
in circulation in this country, an in
novation so far as Pacific coast states
and territories is concerned, is being
generally mentioned in the press.
One Seattle paper discusses the mat
ter as follows:
“When’s a dime not a dime, a quar
ter not a quarter and a four-bit-piece
but forty-five cents?
“Answer—When made in Canada.
“All Seattle learned the little prob
lem in arithmetic this morning when
jitney drivers demanded another
penny with a Canadian dime, when
the pie and coffee man sliced three
cents off Canadian quarters and
cashiers at theaters ■ returned but
twenty cents change with a ticket for
the show when tendered a Canadian
half dollar.
“One restaurant man declared that
this was the most disagreeable and
» quarrelsome day in the history of Se
attle. But, there is no other course
left open for business men, he said,
than that of adhering to the orders
from the banks regarding 10 per cent
discount on Canadian silver coin.
“ ‘Big restaurants, for instance,
take in $500 to $1,000 every day,’ said
one of the prominent restaurant men.
‘Of this in the past at least 30 per
cent of the silver has been Canadian.
One thousand dollars in Canadian
money at the end of the week means
a dead loss of one hundred dollars.’
“The actual money loss to business
men of the class who bank once a
week will amount to thousands of
dollars. One small merchant counted
- his cash last night after the an
nouncement by the clearance house
in Seattle. He found $487 which he
intended to bank on Saturday. Of this
$185 is in Canadian money. His ac
tual loss for the week is $18.50.
“All arguments at cigar counters,
any time today, when traced to their
source disclosed Canadian coins.
“ ‘No less than twenty old-time cus
tomers have left my place in a huff
this morning,’ said a cigar dealer.
‘Because they have been trading here
for years none can understand why
it takes a nickel more with a Cana
dian half dollar for the usual allot
ment. of four cigars for a half.’
“ft’s certain that smallpox and
Canadian coins are both enjoying the
I same degree ot popularity in Seattle
- today.”
CANNERY ON YUKON
CAUSING PROTESTS
The protest forwarded to Gover
nor Riggs by the local Commercial
club, calling attention to the fact
that the operations of the Carlisle
cannery, near the mouth of the Yu
kon river, are working a hardship
on the people of Interior Alaska,
and seking the prohibition of fur
ther commercial fishing on the Yu
1 kon, is beginning to get results.
That is, the matter has been taken
up by the governor of the territory
and formally presented by him to
I representatives of the bureau of
I fisheries. That action was taken sev
eral days ago, according to a mes
sage received from Juneau early in
the week in reply to the protest sent
by the club.
Another encouraging message was
received from the territorial capital
today, from G. F. Cramer, the gov
ernor’s secretary, in which it is
stated the bureau of fisheries has a
| representative in the Interior inves
tigating conditions.
Officers of the club are highly
pleased with the results obtained
thus far, and firmly believe that co
operation on the part of the people
of Interior Alaska will result in the
speedy withdrawal of permits for
commercial fishing in Interior waters, j
The telegram received by Secre- j
tary Diven today reads as follows:
“Bureau of fisheries advises they,
have agent investigating fishing in |
Yukon. The law provides no com
mercial fishing, except for local re
quirements, after August 31.”—Ne

THEY WERE BOY SCOUTS
Vincent FIreno, a peddler of fruits
in Ulica, N. Y., had an unpleasant ex
perience. He was propelling a push
cart laden with oranges, bananas and
potted plants, when an automobile
canoe along, driven by a lady.
She intended to stop at the curl), and
had almost succeeded when the auto
started over again and kept on going.
It Anally stopped, but not until it had
struck the cart and demolished part of
it, and sent fruit and Aowers dying.
No one was hurt, and not much in
i jury was done, but while the crowd
! stopped and gazed, a couple of boy
scouts got busy and picked up the ven
dor’s fruit and plants and put them in
a box which he brought.
Times have certainly changed. In
the good old days the boys would have
regarded the accident as providential,
and gathered the fruit and departed
push-cart and all, before the vendor
could protest.
—
THE BOY SCOUT OF AMERICA.
’Tis good to ’tend meetings, have fun
with the boys;
’Tis all right to holler and make a big
noise;
'Tis great to run races and win medals,
too;
’Tis dandy and jolly to do what scouts do;
To hold down an office, be ranked as a
man,
And play the important in organized plan;
But scouts are tho fellows that give of
their best
In work time, in play time, not just when
they’re drest.
If you think and embody your thoughts in
deeds,
If you talk and by talking sow living
seeds,
If you spend and are spent for the thing
worth while,
If you live and by living make others
smile,
Then your life will be music, sunshine and
love;
Your words will be welcome as If from
above:
And folks will be glad when they see you
about,
•lust thinking and talking and acting the
scout.
—Rev. Philip IT. Clifford.
SCOUTS IMF”0 THE S0LDIEJ3S.
Military life and scouting have much
in common, except the manual of arms
and the carrying of guns, which play
no part in the scout program.
Their common ground is in 1 lie devel
opment of discipline, (he making of
healthy bodies through outdoor activi
ties and the creation of loyalty and
good citizenship.
Thousands of civilians, men of good
character, who entered the army and
i navy during the war, have acquired
through their experience in the serv
ice qualities of leadership that may
have been dormant during civilian
life.
Many of them are of just the sort
to inspire hoys, the kind that will
make good scoutmasters, of. whom
there Is a dearth, because they have
learned to obey and to command, and
because they have acquired knowledge
of hygiene and at least the rudiments
of woodcraft.
This fact was recognized by the
leaders of the hoy scout movemeni
from the beginning of the formation
of our great army.
