EW -HEAD OF ALASKA STEAM
SHIP COMPANY
At the annual meeting of the Alas
i Steamship Co., held recently in
sattle, E. T. Stannard was elected
ce-president and general manager,
wo weeks previously at the annual
eeting in New York City of the Cop
River & Northwestern Ry., Mr.
^annard had been elected vice-pres
ent of that company and he arrived
Seattle April 23rd to take up his
ew duties.
Mr. Stannard is no stranger to
laska or Seattle as for a number of
ears past he has been a resident of
le territory, being the official in
large of the extensive mining inter
sts of the Kennecott Co. He not
uly enjoys a wide acquaintance in
laska, but having lived in the ter
itory for so long a time, is fully con
ersant with local conditions and
eeds, so this knowledge of the North
ill undoubtedly prove of great value
3 him in carrying out his policy cov
ring the operation of the important
fewater and rail transportation lines
ver which he is now called upon to
reside.
Mr. Stannard has no announcements
3 make and for the present he will
evoce all of his attention in making
thorough survey of the stiuation,
ecoming acquainted with the gener
1 affairs of the two companies and
meeting the many friends and patrons
mong the business men.—Railway
nd Marine News.
PURE WOOL LEGISLATION
Now we are going to have a pure
aterics law—maybe. It will be like
he pure food law—was. A bill to
ring it into existence is now before
he House interstate commerce com
oittee. Under its provisions manu
acturers of woven goods or yams,
ir articles of wearing apparel made
rom either, must stamp and tag the
roods with information for the pur
:haser as to the correct percentage
jy weight, of virgin wool, reworked
fool, shoddy, cotton, or silk contained
'Jothing is said about glass, wood,
iber, tin shavings and other adulter
imts that are in general use. The
lame of the manfacturer is also
riven. A fine of $500 is provided, or
i year’s imprisonment.
This is a worthy bill and would
dense almost everyone by its enact
nent. The hundred thousand man
ufacturers and distributors of gar
ments would shriek and the probabil
ties are that their outcry will be suf
ficiently loud to kill the bill. Or if it
s enacted by some strange miscar
riage of politics, the measure will be
done to death in the next several
rears after its<s enactment, just as the
pure food law was. That very com
mendable and rigid statute has been
chipped away year by year until
about all that is left of it is the an
nouncement on the outside of the can
or bottle as to the amount of its net
contents.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
One way to help the food situation
of the country would be for everj
one who can to plant a garden. Nc
section of the world raises vegetables
that are more luscious than those
grown in Alaska. Another waj
would be to eat plenty of Alaskar
fish. It is contended by all diet!
cians that fish is among the mosl
wholesome of foods and that Ameri
cans dq not eat enough of it. There
are no better fish anywhere than ir
% _
Alaska.—Juneau Empire.

“Cordova owes much of her sue
cess to her good fortune in having
ene of the best daily papers in the
Territory. No matter how hard the
times, her people have kept up the
paper,” remarked Mr. Bartley How
ard, Masonic lecturer, who is in the
city this week on official Business.
And ain’t it the truth? A town is
1 judged by its paper. Its advertising
| columns show the prosperity of the
community or its decay”.—Valdez
Miner.
The government is to run “person
ally conducted” excursions to Alaska
to show prospective settlers the
beauties of the land lying adjacent to
the government railroad. The scheme
is a good one if the officials in charge
make sure that the excursionists have
callouses on their hands from holding
plows and not from clipping coupons.
What Alaska needs most is regular
settlers—not tourists.—Douglas News.
There is money in the fresh fish
business. It is only in its infancy
in Alaska. The communities which
realize its great possibilities and
which begin to reach out and develop
and take care of the trade will be
come the great industrial centers of
Alaska. Practically every Alaskan
town has natural advantages in cheap
electrical power, plenty of room for
harbor facilities and means for main
taining large ice-freezing plants and
cold storage warehouses, and it is sim
ply a matter of financing these and
developing the business.—Juneau
Capital.

SAYINGS OF.STATESMEN
/ »
The moral character of the United
States is of more importance than
any alliance.—John Adams.
The nation which indulges toward
another an habitual hatred, or an
habitual fondness, is in some degree
a slave—George Washington.
The power of treaties is vested
jointly in. the president and the
senate, which is a branch of the leg
islature.—James Madison.
The Democratic slogan of 1916,
“Kept us out of war,” is now known
to every intelligent person to have
been political camouflage.—Roose
velt.
The stability of this government
and the unity of this nation depend
solely on the oerdial support and
earnest loyalty of the people.—
Grant.
I have never had a feeling politi
cally that did mot spring from the
sentiments embodied in the Declara
tion of Independence.—Abraham
Lincoln.
America has a hemisphere to it
self. It must have its separate sys
tem of interests, which must not be
subordinated to those of Europe.—
Thomas Jefferson.
Interest in public affairs, national,
state, and city, should be ever present
and active and not abated from one
■year’s end to the other. Every public
duty is honorable.—McKinley.
The Republican party has walked
upon high paths. It has set before
it ever the maintenance of the Union,
the honor of the flag, and the pros
perity of our people.—Harrison.
| Our diplomatic relations connect us
on terms of equality and honest friend
t ship with the chief powers of the
| world, while we avoid entangling
i participation in their intrigues, their
| passions and their wars.—George
Bancroft.
S —
We want a man who, standing on a
mountain height, sees all the achieve
ments of our past history and carries
, in his heart the memory of all its
| glorious deeds and who, looking for
| ward, prepares to meet the labor and
i dangers to come.—Garfield.
But anyhow the white paper short,
age ought not to affect the sporting
extras.
Things are getting into such shape
that somebody is lable to start a
bolshevik movement within the ranks
of the bolsheviks.
Of course there are some people
who wonder why the diplomats who
“settled” the war didn’t >meet this
time at Monte Carlo instead of San
Remo.
Four' years more of reduction of
the high cost of living by a Demo
cratic national administration, and the
overall fnovement will be succeeded
by a “back-to-the-fig-leaf” demonstra
tion.
The Democrats of the Philippines
have endorsed Governor General Har
rison for the presidency. Maybe after
a term in the presidency of the United
States Mr. Harrison would be in favor
of our giving up the rest of our ter
i ritory.
