AN HONORED GUEST
Seward has today as a guest Hon.
Dan A. Sutherland, delegate to con
gress from Alaska, and a man who
has done more for Alaska in the short
lime he has been in office than other
delegates have in a lifetime.
Mr. Sutherland, at the time of tak-1
ing his oalh of office, announced that
he was delegate to all Alaska, and
would favor no district or section of
the Territory as against another. That
he has done much for Seward came in
the course of his duty, not as a spe
cial favor.
Seward is under many obligations to i
Mr. Sutherland for work done in the !
past, and will be under greater obli
gations <o him for work to be done in
the future. Irrespective ot party poli
tics it is the duty of every citizen to !
take his hat off to him and showf him
that we appreciate his work.
ERITAIN AND THE SOVIETS
Soviet hypocrisy and apostasy, rec
ognized by the United States from the
beginning, have given Great Britain
somewhat of a jolt. For business rea
sons the British flirted with the com
munists hoping to gain trade advan
tages. Probably they are not to be
criticised on that account, but seem
ingly they have learned that self re
spect is greater than commercialism.
In threatening to break off relations
with the Moscow government because
of Britain's refusal ta recognize the;
Soviet executions of church dignita
ries, and the execution of others, the
British note calls attention to a series
of studied affronts and says it seems
difficult to arrive ait any other conclu
sion than that the soviet government
is “either convinced that the British
government will accept any insult
sooner than break with soviet Russia
or that they desire themselves to
bring the relations treated by the
trade agreement to an end.”
The world was somewhat astonished
during the premiership of Lloyo
George when the British entered into
a trade agreement with Lenine and
Trotzky, which was generally regard
ed as being tantamount to a recogni
tion of the soviet regime. It is un
derstood, of course, that the compact
was negotiated with an enemy and a
murderous nation.
On several occasions the United
States refused to have any dealings
with the soviets, and the American
position was set out strikingly and
unsparingly by Secretary of State
Hughes. In this policy the govern
ment has had the unanimous support
of the American people, who have
placed morality above other things.
The refusal of the British to sub
mit to further insults and its frank
statement that it will break off diplo
matic and commercial relations with
the soviet government is proof of the
correctness of the American position,
and may contribute to the downfall oi
the red government.

Don’t worry—the skirts won’t be
much longer as long as the girls have
two good “reasons” for wearing ’em
short.
Several persons have recently made
local queries as to how to collect a
bounty on eagles. For their benefit,
and that of others, this bounty is
paid by the Territorial Treasurer, Ju
neau, and not by Game Wardens or
Governor’s office.
DRILLS DOWN SIX HUNDRED
TWENTY FEET AT KANATAK
Parties returning from Kanatak on
the Starr report the Associated Oil
company drills down to a depth of
620 feet, still in hard rock. The Stan
dard drills crew' have refilled their
crooked hole and are again drilling.
Both companies are taking their time
in drilling and are encountering con
siderable hard rock, which makes for
slow work.
