.lust when we were congratulating ourselves upon having
the pleasantest kind of weather along comes a cold wave, which
lias [nit us in the shudder class.
Kvery precaution is being taken to guard against a con
flagration in town during this dry, cold spell, especially at
night, when the water is turned off.
-;n:
Secretary of Interior Lane is credited with stating that
his department has already received hundreds ot applications
for leases on coal lands in Alaska, which would indicate that
this much needed fuel is soon to be mined.
-■— :o:
For the first time during its existence the Daily 'l imes
greets its readers today as a morning newspaper. The change
from an afternoon edition was made necessary on account of
the cold snap, which lias played havoc with our power, liotli
electric and wati r.

The Valdez school board has arranged for monthly exam
inations of the pupils of the public schools by a physician, in
order to prevent the spreading of contagious diseases, and ot

Shintoism—Japan’s own made—at—home religion, a fabric
of mythology, superstition and idolatry—is said to be making
such gains in popular favor in Japan that the government
wants to foist the Buddhist clergy off onto (’liinn. It is up to
mi!’ missionaries to get busy.

We cannot appeal too strongly to our people to close their
faucets, and prevent as far as possible any waste ot water, as
the local reservoir is being gradually drawn upon during this
continued dry spell and unless tin* greatest care is exercised
in the use of water our supply may become exhausted.
--:o:
Cordova claims to be the most economically conducted city
in the territory. Valdez is perhaps the most extravagantly ad
ministered. Three councilnien and the mayor, who have per
sisted in overriding the wishes of the taxpayers, have cost the
city over $2,000, with nothing yet to show fo rtlie money.—
Valdez Prospector.
The I'nit' d States Senate yesterday discussed for a time the
question whether it was British intereference with 1 nited
States trad** or the German submarine menace that bad’ caused
ships to withdraw from the overseas trade. Did the senators I
agree? They did not. They simply talked.
-:o:
Kven Joseph H. Choate, regarded as a sane and thoughtful I
man, lias been seized with Atlantieoastitis. He is sure we are
on the brink of war, and lie advises pellmell preparedness.I
Fifty years hence historians are likely to pen sardonic para-j
graphs regarding the phantasmagoria that are keeping us

TIk> iast three appointments to federal places in Alaska
are all of pioneer Alaskans of high standing in their respective
communities, and men who will make good. We refer to liar
lev Turner, of .Juneau, to he deputy collector of internal rove- ■

E. Boot to he postmaster at Seward.—Juneau Empire.

The railroads in the States must have increased freight
and passenger rates. This in order to hire more officials. 1 he
number of federal, state and'other commissions, etc., is increas
ing so rapidly that there are not enough men in high railroad
places to respond to all the demands for testimony. Besides
the officials now in service are so occupied with public en
quiries that they haven’t time to run their railroads.
-:o:-—
Very soon after the wires tell us that the Congress has
passed an emergency appropriation fof the railway work, the
merry sound of the hammer will be heard on the big store house
building planned to be erected by the commission. In fact,
Anchorage will be the busiest town in Alaska, soon after the
glad tidings reach us from the national capital. And we’ll sure
get that appropriation. .Just bank on it.—Anchorage Pioneer.
