Lost Money on Voyage
Capt, Beckland, who made a cruisi
in the Arctic this summer with hii
■ ship Transit, arrived in Seattle witl
his cargo of fur and whatsoever hi
secured of whalebone, etc. and re
j iiorts that the drop in prices is s<
great that he lost fifteen thousam
dollars on {the trip. Others whc
were on similar expeditions have los
correspondingly this year.

The Juneau land office is in receipt
rtf many inquiries In reference to tak
ins up homesteads in Alaska.
There seems to be considerable con
fusion over the number of acres one
may file on in thi- territory. Many
have the impression that the acreage
hns been cut from 320 acr-s to 160
acres. This is due ihe fact that a
hill was Introduced In congress limit
ing the number of acres, but It did not
not pass at the last session.
Therefore one may file on 320 acres
The inquiries for farm lands art
coming mostly from resident Alas
kans.who realize that once the rush
starts the best lands In Alaska will be
quickly taken. In fact, a number al
ready have taken up homesteads lii
the vicinity of Knik and not a few
acres have been filed on In Southeast
ern Alaska during the present year
Practically the same homestead
law as is operative outside applies ir
Alaska, three years residence being re
quired, with a continuous residence ol
7 months a year and the right to se
j cure a permit In case the locator Is
i compelled to leave his land for a long
or time.
Lands outside of the forest reserve
are surveyed at the expense o fthe set
tier; inside the reserve the govern
ment stands the expense.
> The department is strict regarding
lands which are filed upon for purely
speculative purposes, or rather under
false pretenses, as for instance where
land Is taken as a homestead to cor
ner good timber, or Included in a min
oral claim simply for the purpose of
holding the ground for townsite or
• other purposes.
, It is realized, however, that the
, homestead law as applied to Alaska is
somewhat of a mlsit. Even to the per
son who takes up farm land in good
faith are attached a number of arbi
trary rules which the land office has
no power to alter, even when a show
ing of good faith hns been made.
Secre'ary Lane has expressed himself
on the present laws as being inappli
cable for encouraging a movement
from the city to the land, and has
i proposed a number of changes. He
holds, for instance, that the man w.o
i works in the city on a salary, should
; be allowed to take up a home stead
and not be compelled to live upon it
' almost continuously. Oft times it is
necessary for the locator to go out
' and work for wages to secure mom,
' for provisions and stock and farming
! implements.

MONROE DOCTRINE IS
DANGEROUS TO GERMANY
"The Monroe Doctrine is the great
est danger to our world policy that
exists. That the Anglo-Saxon and
Protestant North America should
claim the natural right of guardian
ship over the Latin and Catholic peo
ules of South America may appear a
Utopian point of view, but it is none
the less a fact, and Germany must,
therefore, come to a decision either
to abandon all idea of a colonial pol
icy in South America or by means of
a firm policy which would not quake
before the chances of war, to compel
the Americans to restrict the appll
cation of the Monroe Doctrine to cer
tain parts of South America only,
and to guarantee not to make any op
position to Germany should she seek
to draw such parts of that continent
into her sphere of interest as may
appear useful and necessary."—From
The Pan German Doctrine.

SEWARD EXPECTS TO
PAY $2.00 FOR COAL
The Seward Gateway expects that
coal will he $2. n ton In that city. It
says. A local man who has made a
study of coal and the coRt of produc
tion of it Pennsylvania, says that is
mined there for 30 to 35 cents a ton.
It costs about ten to fifteen cents a
ton to load it on the cars. Iron ore
is hauled on the great lakes for thir
ty cents a ton for a thousand miles,
and it is estimated that coal is hauled
on the railroads outside for not more
than fifty cents a ton, so by these
figures we can make a fairly good
guess what coal will cost here and
along the coast when the Matanuska
fields are opened.
Prayers for peace were offered in
Japan on Sunday, October 4, in re
sponse to President Wilson’s peace
Sunday proclamation, though Japan
is one of the belligerant powers in
the great war. W’ord of this has
been received here In a Japanese pa
per published In San Francisco. It
was translated by a local Japanese.
Dead by His Own Hand
“Dead by his own hand," was the
verdict of the coroner's jury at White,
horse in the case of Alfred Spread
bury, an Englishman, whose body was
found in the woods about a tniie north
of town. A shot gun rested between
his legs, his left hand grasped the bar
rel, in his hand he held a stick about
two feet long, and in his heart was a
charge of duck shot. Ho was not a
dissipated man, says the Star.
