BEHIND THE TIMES
Bill Shannon, the intrepid dog
musher who left several weeks ago
for the States to enter the movies,
and incidentally to reside the remain
der of his days with the clieechacos
has broken into print. “Bill” de
clares that there is no opportunity
for a man in Alaska on account of
the Guggenheims having everything
throttled.
“Bill” is about six years behind
the times as the Guggies unloaded
most of their holdings during the war
and are now engaged in building up
Peru, Chili and other South Ameri
can republics. They have very few
interests in Alaska at the present
time and those they now have are
for sale.
Rather than throttling Alaska the
Guggenheim brothers were the means
of its opening up. Without their
capital Cordova would never have
been built, Latouche would yet be a
desolate mountainside, and the Cop
per River Railroad would not have
been constructed. The company paid
well for its holdings. In fact, they
paid many times what the properties
they acquired were worth, when one
considers the lawsuits brought by
alleged stakers, and which they
fought for years at an expenditure
of many thousand dollars.
Ye§, “Bill,” is wrong. He has
been inside so long that the facts
have escaped his notices. If every
town in Alaska had a Guggenheim
the Territory today would be a hive
of industry instead of on its last '
legs from fighting off capital which
has attempted to break in.
If Seward ceases shuddering long
enough to realize the benefits accru
ing from the Jesse Lee Home, every
citizen will welcome with open arms
the expenditure if the vast amount '
of money necessary to construct a
model place out of a wilderness. The
expenditure of $100,000 for buildings ,
alone will give employment to every
mechanic in the city, and will scat
ter the money to every person in the
vicinity. We predict that the Home
will be pointed to with pride within
a year after its construction and J
that it will be an object of great in- j
terest for tourists as well as for
the townspeople. Whether the town
secures the coveted plum or not, the
Rev. R. V. B. Dunlap and wife de
serve great credit for their efforts .
to locate the orphanage here. It j
will be the beginning of great pros
perity for the district surrounding
the Home site, and the money an
nually expended for supplies a great
help to local merchants.

Australia Pays High
To Secure Immigrants
SYDNEY, May 12.—(TP)—In connec
tion with a recent, agreement in Lon
don between England and Australia
to assist 450,000 emigrants from the
United Kingdom to get settled on
land here, it has been estimated that
the cost of this undertaking will be
from $5,600 to $10,000 for each indi
vidual making the 16,000 mile voy
age.
Prime Minister Bruce, in announc
ing the estimate of cost, said that
many reproductive and development
works were awaiting the emigrants.
The two governments will bear the
cost of the -travelers.
It is planned that the 450,000 men,
women and children who are to be
sent to Australia within the next ten
years under this scheme, designed
to relieve the unemployment prob
lem of England, will comprise a great
many persons whose aim is to settle
on crown land and become cattle
raisers and farmers.
Germans Compliment Women
by Classing Them as Married
BERLIN, May 12.—(£>)—Should a
maiden lady call herself “Frau” or
“Fraulein”? This question is being
much debated in German women’s
clubs, suffrage societies, and women’s
professional organizations.
The custom is becoming more and
more established of referring to wo
men beyond their first bloom as
“Frau,” whether they are married or
not. The reason for this is partly
the fact that in Europe there is still
some prejudice against young women
venturing out unescorted. By calling
a young woman of marriageable age
“Frau,” the German gentleman feels
that he is paying her the compli
ment of assuming that she is mar
ried and hence free from molesta
tion.
Partly, too, the women themselves
have favored the designation “Frau”
as they feel that the spinster is
somewhat of an object of ridicule.
They argue that as soon as a boy
grows up he gets the designation
“Herr,” whether he is married or
not, then why should a difference be
made between married and unmar
ried women?
Seven young women of Ghimsby,
England, left for Canada after con
version to Mormonism.
Six men were killed by a ferocious
gorilla they had surrounded near
Port Darnford, East Africa.
Smoking Cigarettes Leads
Two Berlin Girls To Jail
BERLIN, May 12.—Longing for a
smoke while walking recently thru
;he pine woods of Tegeler, near this
;ity, two young girls started a fire
hat consumed 20 acres of fine tim
jer in two hours.
A lighted cigarette end, caielessly
;ast aside, ignited the dry pine nee*
lies. The girls tried to put out the
ire, but could not, and then gave the
ilarm, but it was too late. They are
low in jail, and will be sued for the
oss of the forest.
DEATH RAY POWERFUL
(WASHINGTON, D. C., May 12.—
IP)—A German is reported to have
nvented a death ray that is capa
>le of paralyzing life for six hours
iver a distance of forty miles and
it an altitude of 45,000 feet.
A lady in Maine, who is now 106,
ittributes her long life to the fact
hat she has always minded her own
business. Most folks will say she
las paid a terrible price.

husian League, which seeks to pre

ble for honorary membership.

Special Council Meet.
Held Last Evening
•' A, i' • —
The adjourned council meeting
from Monday, May 4th, was held
last evening. The meeting was held
to hear the report of the School
committee and on the proposed
portion to be built on the Arcade
Building. The Street committee, H.
B. Selby and Joe Hofman not being
present therefore no action was tak
en.
The matter concerning the Arcade
building died for lack of a second to
the motion made by Councilman Helm
that the permit be granted.
The special committee, known as
the Committee on Sanitation, re
ported that all was being done to
remedy the present condition. Also
that an additional fund would be
required to take care of what is
known as the garbage dump, in a sat
isfactory manner.
The Court Order, concerning the
time of lighting the street lights
was modified for lights to be discon
tinued after May 20. The light will
be discontinued on May 15.
Upon motion the meeting was ad
journed until the next regular ses
sion of the council.
