The recent arrest of two Douglas
men charged with robbing a trap in
Lynn canal is another sample of
the methods which the big cannery
men and trap owners are using to
get themselves more unpopular, says
the Douglas Island News.
There was not a trace of evi
dence to lead the owner of the trap
that it was alleged was robbed, to
think that the two men arrested did
it. But someone who knew that
these men had a boat went to the
commissioner and swore to a com
plaint. If everyone owning a boat
in this vicinity is subject to arrest
at any time because a trap is robbed
in Lynn canal, there will be a lot
of boat owners who will not sleep
at night.
The big corporations owning can
neries and traps in Alaska should
remember that they and their traps
and canneries are strangers in a
strange land. Their traps in par
ticular exist only because the people
can’t help it. They themselves,
mostly, are not Alaskans, but tres
passers on the domain that should
be the property of those people who
are all-the-vear-around residents of
Jthe territory—the people who are
(willing to put in the winters and
j springs in Alaska to enjoy the few
weeks of summer weather that we
; have. ,
The big cannerymen should walk '
| softly the few days that they op
erate each summer here and realize j
that they, as strangers, are taking
j the wealth of the territory away;
j with them and giving nothing in re- j
j turn to those who, as real Alaskans, |
| are entitled to the resources of the
; territory. j
By this we do not mean that they (
j should not protect their property or
;ask for protection if they believe
ithey have been injured, but we do j
jmean that thev should be sure they
are right—or reasonably sure—be- ,
fore making complaints and asking
for warrants.
They should prosecute, if they
have a case, and prosecute vigor
ously, but not look for any favors
from the court or anyone else, and
always keep the thought in the back j
of their brains that the best way
to eliminate the fish pirate would !
! be to use the eliminator first on the
traps. There are plenty of people
! around here who would take pleasure
i in doing the eliminating.
WE PiN SAVES
LIFE Of CAPTIVE
JUAREZ, Mex.—A lodge pin and j
grip saved the life of a Chinese j
merchant of Parral when Francisco j
Villa’s troops captured Parral some
time ago, according to a sworn '
statement made by the merchant to j
the American consul here upon his
arrival from the interior recently.
The Chinese merchant refused to
permit his name to be attached to
the statement for fear he would be
killed if he fell into Villa’s hands.
He swore that he saw three of his
causins dragged through the streets
of Parral by rebels and burned at
the stake.
A demand for $5,000 was made
upon him upon threat of death, the
merchant said. He told the Villa
colonel he did not have this amount
and was about to be ordered shot,
when he noticed a lodge pin on the
lapel of the colonel’s coat. The
merchant said he belonged to the
Chinese organization which was sim
ilar to the one which the officer be
longed to and they exchanged hand
shakes. The ransom was reduced to
$2,000 and he was finally permitted
to go.
PARIS, Sept. 16.—The war office
is in receipt of information from
Archangel stating that the Russian
troops now defending that region
against the Red Guards are making
gains at several points.
The Bolsheviki are reported to
have been forced to evacuate Onega
as a result of the aggressive cam
paigning of the Slavs who took the
place of the Allied troops.

ARE SEIZED BY
FEDERAL AGENTS
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Four hun
idred and fifty seizures of so-called
i
; remedies for social diseases have
| been made recently under the food
j and drug act by federal officials,
'who have inaugurated a campaign
jto suppress this variety of “quajk”
: medicine. In making this announce
ment the bureau of chemistry ot
! the department of agriculture issued
I a general warning that use of such
'“remedies” was extremely danger
jous and likely to lead to a long
^period of suffering.
“The goods seized include a great
variety of compounds.” said the bu
reau’s announcement. “Some of the
labels bear the claim of the manu
facturer that the contents are sure
cures. Some even contain state
ments that cures will be effected
within definite periods.
“In all the seizure actions the
Government alleged the preparations
to be falsely and fraudulently la
beled. Such preparations are sold
largely because of plausible but
false claims regarding- their curative
effect. Many sufferers are led to
believe that cures will be effected by
these preparations, and adequate
treatment under competent medical
supervision is neglected until per
manent injury to health and even
danger to life has resulted.”
