ICE-BOUND KETCHIKAN.
Rule Forty-seven .Hundred and
Eleven of the rules of the American
Express company says that “Pigs Is
Pips,” and the next one emphatical
ly states that Ketchikan is an ice
bound port and that nothing- can be
shipped to that port from Seattle
until June 1. when the ice clears
out.
Witness the truth of this, points
out the Ketchikan Chronicle, by.the
following letter received by Frank
P. McCurdy front William H. Hand,
Jr., naval architect, of New Bed
ford. Mass. It reads:
“Your strut and stuffing-box have
been ready for shipment for some
time, but, unfortunately, the local
express company refuses to handle
it. They claim there is no boat run
ning from Seattle until June 1, and j
they are forbidden to handle any
material which, because of this, will
have to be held in Seattle.”
This is much too much, the editor
of the Chronicle believes, and that
the same thing may not happen j
’again in New Bedford. Mr. McCurdy
!is starting a correspondence course
I for their especial benefit, in which
i he will attempt to tell them that
\ boats run regularly from Seattle to
| Alaska, and that there' are days
S when two or three or five boats
I leave the same day.

A QUIET ELECTION.
That Valdez is degenerating into
| a peaceful, housecat existence, is j
' evidenced by the city eleltion this!
j * 1
week, says a recent issue of the !
.
Valdez Miner. A committee had to ■
make a house-to-house canvass to j
find men willing to run on the mu-1
r.icipa! ticket, and but 56 voters out!
| of a possible two hundred and sev-1
; i
fenty-five exercised their right of j
1 franchise. Every other town in the
Territory took advantage of the
election to have a regular Kilkenny
fair, with personalities and charges
flying thick and fast between the
candidates. Our people have lost
the old wim and wigor; the pep of
bygone days is lacking; our coca
jeo’a diet is producing results.
NEW SECRETARY' WILL
URGE ROAD BUILDING
WASHINGTON' ,I>. C.—Edwin T.
Meredith, newly appointed secretary
of agriculture, believes there should
be active continuation of present
federal and state co-operation in
connecting state road systems with
the systems of adjoining states, in
order that the working out of an
adequate highway program for the
whole United States may proceed
in an orderly manner. He also ad
vocates the continuance of work
now going forward under the fed
eral aid road law.
"As 1921 is the last year cov
ered by the law,” Mr. Meredith
says, "it would be highly desirable,
in my opinion, for Congress to make
provision as promptly as possible
for the continuation of the work
under the present system by an ap
propriation of at least one hundred
million dollars for each of the four
fiscal years beginning with 1922.”
NEW YORK ORCHESTRA
PAYING EUROPE VISIT
LONDON.—The New Y'ork Sym
phony orchestra will make a tour of
the principal cities of England.
Prance, Italy, Belgium, and Holland,
it is announced. Concerts also will
be given in Monte Carto. George
Engles of New York, manager of
the orchestra, says this will be the
first time that an American sym
phony orchestra has played in Eu
rope, and that the New York or
chestra is coming over by official
invitation of the governments.
Bob Toussaint arrived in town on
Saturday from the end of steel,
having severed his connection with
the Alaskan Engineering commission
as timekeeper at Healy.
Chief of Police Elmer Sanderlin,
of Fairbanks, who was injured last
week while fighting fire on Garden
island, was on the streets today for
the first time since the fire. He left
the institution to make room for a
flu patient.
'ENGLISH TOWN BANS
CENTRAL EUROPE KIDS
_ |
BRADFORD. Entr.—A proposal to 1
"tier a years hospitality to a thou-;
sand poor children from Central j
[ Europe was rejected by the Brad-,
ford city council after heated dis-1
j eussion.
One councillor said the proposal
was abominable. "Here in Brad
ford.” he exclaimed, "are mothers1
and fatherless children whose hus
bands and fathers have been mur-'
i
1 dered by the fathers of the chil- '
dren it is proposed to brinsr here.’ j
; Another member said there were 1
many wealthy Germans and Austri- j
ans living in Bradford today, who
ousht to provide for these children.
A third member declared with j
emphasis that they could not forjret
the Lusitania and the bombardment
of English open towns.
Alderman Conway, who spoke sn
support of the proposal, said: “It
l appears to me that the spirit of
'■Christianity has departed from this
meeting:. A Britisher is always re
garded as ready to atrree and shake
hands after a figrht.”
A councillor interjected: “In sport,
lyes; not in murder.”
