CORDOVA COPPER ATTRACTING ATTENTION.
It is good news—that coining from Alaska—that for the
year 1915 copper will take first place in the products of that
territory, followed' by lead, gold coming third. For many years
gold has taken first place.
The aforemention reversal shows that Alaska is coming
into its own; that it is no longer to be looked upon solely as a
field for the hardy adventurer, but that an era of commercial
development lias begun, coincidental with the commencement
of work on the federal railroad, which will populate Alaska
with a permanent and desirable class of settlers.—Seattle Star.

A FAKE AND ITS RESULTS.
The rush of would-be detectives who want to serve Uncle
Sam in a Sherlock Holmes role has become somthing fierce.
Secretary of tin* Treasury McAdoo has to step lively to dodge
the amateur sleuths who have a burning ambition to wear
saucer-like badges while they run foreign spies and' other un
desirable citizens to their lairs.
McAdoo’s trouble dates to a few days ago when some hard
pressed scribes with luxuriant imaginative faculties sent out a
story to the effect that, owing to the European war and other
complications, Secretary McAdoo was arranging to largely
increase the force of human ferrets called secret service men
and intimating that recruits were wanted.
Well, the recruits have been coming ever since and George
Cooksey, the secretary to Secretary McAdoo, said wearily that
about 7,000 applications are now on fiie. According to Cook
sey, the worst part of it is that no additional secret service
men are wanted, and if they were the department has no money
to pay them.
Judging from some of the letters that have come in Uncle
Sam’s secret service force would be a peach if it were recruited
from such embryonic detectives as one, for instance, who writes
to Secretary McAdoo as follows:
“I am a good mixer and attract attention whereever I go.
I talk freely and well.”

SUGGESTION A GOOD ONE.
Mr.McPherson who toured Alaska in the interests of the
Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce for celebra
tions in Alaska, in making his report to Seattle members, said
transportation companies ought to arrange tourist boats sc
they would remain longer in Alaskan towns.
lie said he found there was a general complaint on the pari
of both the tourists and Alaska residents over present schedules
Now that the Seattle Chamber is likely to take this matter u]
with the transportation companies for next year’s business, tin
commercial organization in Alaska should also get busy
Naturally tourists come to Alaska to see as much of the coun
tryas they can. Of course, until the present summer there was
probably not enough tourist business to run regular excursioi
boats and break in on regular schedules. The interests of the
transportation companies must be considered as well as the
interests of the Alaskan business men.
But in another season there is a reason to believe the*re wil
be enough tourists coming to Alaska to enable the transporta
tion companies to make a “nc>w schedule.” For instance
tourists could profitably spend two or three days at any of tin
towns at which boats stop on the coast of Alaska. Aroum
Juneau are many interesting places to be visited about whicl
the average tourist knows nothing under the present arrange
ment. This is true of other Alaskan towns. Very often boats
arrive in the night time and the tourists never leave the boat
When they return to Seattle all thy have seen of the country k
from the decks of the boats. The Dispatch believes if the sev
eral Alaskan towns co-operate with the Seattle Chamber ol
Commerce in this matter and put it up to the transportatioi
companies, a different schedule will be worked out for nex'
season.—Juneau Dispatch.

Scaricity of textiles has caused the German government to

when ordering new, to omit the dudads. Perhaps the war will,
among other things, teach the world some of the values of
simplicity.
