DISPATCH GONE.
With the current issue the Dis
patch plant and staff leave Juneau
to make their future home in Seat
tle. announces Editor Ed C. Russell
in the issue of his' paper of Sep
tember 27. The plant will be locat
ed on the fourth floor of the Klock
block, 72 Columbia street. These
premises have been leased for a
period of years, and every arrange
ment made to continue the publica
tion of the Alaska Dispatch, special
izing in the news of Alaska, Yukon
Territory, and North British Colum
bia. The mechanical staff of the
Dispatch will move to Seattle with
their families, and several Northern
newspaper men of experience will
be associated with the publication,
among whom will be Mr. L. F.
Shaw, former editor of the Anchor
age Times. The paper will be under
the management of the owner, Ed
C. Russell, and will continue its
independent policy.
The moving of the paper and
plant to Seattle is being done to
increase its influence. A canvass
among Alaskans now located by the
thousands at Seattle indicates ^that
a paper which specializes in Alaska
news, written by men who know
Alaska, and which is fair to Alaska,
will receive the support which it
should. To say that the Dispatch
is leaving Juneau for other than
great opportunity is unfair. The
Dispatch during its twenty years'
existence has paid its bills, fulfilled
its obligations and tried to be an
influence for not only Gastineau
channel, but the entire Territory.
Subscribers to the Dispatch will
receive the next issue about Oc
tober 20. Alaskans visiting Seattle
will always find a warm welcome
at the Alaska Dispatch office. 72
Columbia street. Come in.
JOBLESS ENGLAND.
From all parts of England, says
an Associated Press correspondent,
■writing from London, come reports
of the difficulty demobilized officers
are having to find jobs. Those for
mer officers with wives and families
to support are in many cases living
on meager pensions.
One of the most remarkable cases
of unemployment is that of a Cam
bridge university graduate who for
the greater part of the war held an
important command in the army,
and subsequently a temporary post
of great responsibility in a govern
ment department. He is armed with
a letter from the War Office thank
ing him for his services, and add
ing: “There are few people with
greater organizing ability, more
charming manners, greater tact aryl
drive than yourself.” Another let
ter to him from Sir Auckland Ged
des, president of the Board of Trade,
expresses “warm personal thanks for
your loyal and devoted co-operation
in very difficult work.” King George
bestowed on him the order of Com
mander of the British Empire.
But these credentials have been
of no avail in his quest for suita
ble employment in England, and, in
despair, he says that he is going to
America next month.
Ex-officers have discovered that
the business world regards long
imilitary service as a disadvantag
i rather than an asset. An infantr
captain 43 years old, with a wifi
and three children, said: “I hav
: farmed in South Africa, served wit!
the Natal Mounted Police, and pros
ipected for gold. I want an outdoo
job connected with agriculture, will
a minimum salary of $1,250. I can
not get one and I have applied fo
a small holding, but am told I ma;
have to wait 12 months.”
j Another former officer reporter
that his firm would take him bad
jat half his pre-war salary, savin,
; that was the best they could do, a
trade was bad.
j “ Some companies don’t knov
'there has been a war on,” com
mented a job-seeking ex-officer, wh<
before he went into the army wa
the head clerk in an insurance of
fice. “My people have offered mi
; $450 a vear, and I am 26.”

WASTE LANDS, STARVING
CATTLE.
Thousands of cattle and sheep wil
die of starvation during the cominj
winter unless some practical relie:
measure is carried out. Montana
North Dakota, and Idaho for thi
jlast two, and, in some cases, threi
'years have had such unusual period'
of drought that there is a seriou:
shortage of fodder and of gras;
upon the grazing ranges.
: This is not purely a cattleman'
J problem, as might seem at firs
Thought, points out the Tacom;
Ledger. It concerns the entire coun
Try, since it strikes at the heart o
.the food supply. In some district
•50 percent of the cattle and shee]
will have to be removed to bette
: grazing ground if they are not ti
' be lost.
i At a conference held in St. Paul

■farmers and stockmen reported tha
their states could offer extensiv.
Territory for the relief of the dis
tressed ranchers farther West. Th
Government will give its aid shouh

It is fortunate, indeed, that ther
jis territory thus available to tid

shall restore the ranges. Nothin,
■could make more evident the desira

acre of so-called “waste land,” an

of industries and an adjustment o
occupations which will go far t<

CAMP RAIDED By
DOUGLAS, Ariz.—Americans were
not molested, but Mexicans were
literally “stripped to the shoestrings’’
by the Yaqui Indians who recently
[raided the mining camp at San
Xicolas Sonora, 140 miles southwest
[of Douglas. Food was taken from
, the Mexican miners’ cabins, and
even their clothing was seized, ac
cording to Leo G. Cloud, managing
| director of the mining properties,
jwho has arrived here,
j The Indians were led by two men
jwith skins as white as any Ameri
can’s. Mexicans said they were
Moro Indians.
Members of the band were poorly I
'clad, some having no covering above
!the waist. All were armed, some'
iwith modern high-power rifles and
: others with older, cruder weapons.
i There were no Mexicans in the
! party.
i The efforts of Mrs. Car! Knud-'
ison, who had charge of the com
missary, alone kept the camp from
being left altogether without provi
sions. After the commissary had
[been looted of §1,400 in gold and,
; practically all its-goods, Mrs. Knud
son pleaded with the leader for
1
food, saying that it would be strange
for a great chief to leave the camp
starving. The chief turned back
two sacks of flour.
When Mrss. Vetch, wife of the
American mill superintendent, be
came hysterical with fright during
the raid, the Indians asked her
husband to remain with her until
they had left, and to assure her she
would not be harmed.
However, the Mexicans were
-roughly treated and nearly every
j thing they possessed which might be
carried away was taken.
I • The raid upon San Xicolas was
[notable for the reason that this was
the first time that Yaquis have raid
ed that section of the Moctezuma
district, although tribal tradition
claims it as a part of the Yaqui
! possessions.
