RAILROAD JOB SHOULD
BE EXPANDED FOR
SOLDIERS
Anchorage. (Py Mall).—if the gov
ernment decides that in order to les
sen the industrial shock incident to
the sudden transition of the country
from a war to a peace basis public
,-.ork should be under taken to pro
vide employment for returned soldiers,
then, in such circumstances, the fed
eral railroad in Alaska, acording to
high officials, should be given special
consideration. It ie an enterprise,
they argue, not in contemplation but
in progress of construction, and to
conduct the work on a mors extens
ive scale now than was originally
pinned would not add to the ultimate
cost but would merely hasten the
-cad's contemplation.
With a view of placing ^onorabty
discharged army men in necessary
governmental work, William C. Edee,
chairman of the Alaskan Engineering
Commission, is supporting the pro
posal that congress make an extra ap
propriation for construction activities
on the railroad during the 1919 sea
son. The amount of $4,000,000 remains
of the original appropriation allowed
by congress for the building of the
line. Besides this sum, an additional
amount of several million dollars
could be used to great advantage
next summer.
Former employees of the commis
sion who enlisted in the army and
who recently were discharged are
constantly returning to Anchorage, and
these are only the advancs guard of
the host that will come later.
At present the railroad job it re
duced to smail proportions. To ex
pand it to its former working strength
and thus provide employment for a
material number of the men that left
it to join the colors, congress, de
Clare oficials In charge of the work,
should make, besides the regular al
lowance, and additional appropriation.

REV. J. H. CONDIT
RETURNS TODAY
FROM WEST COAST
Rev. Junt* H. Ceadit, O. SX, httdef
ihe Rresbyterlan missions In Alaska,
arrived on the mall boat from tha
west coast where ho hat boon making
a tour of Inspection to bis missions
that*.
REV. HOWE RETURNING
Mr. Condit reported that ha had boon '
informed that Rev. J. L. Howe and hla
family, who left Hydaburg sometime |
ago to make a visit In Pittsburg, Pa.. I]
are planning to return to Hydaburg In j
the spring, to take up their duties <
with the mission again. 1
Mr. Condit returned to Craig on J
the same boat which brought the body|<
of tha late Deputy Marshal Calhoun <
to Ketchikan. Tha natives of Klawock J
he says, are all deeply shocked over the *
Jackson murder affair and feel the dis- <
grace it has brought both on their <
town and tribe. J
LAST MURDER 43 YEARS AGO <
The last time any native of Kla-:<
yock murdered another man was over <
forty-five years ago and then It was <
another native who was the victim.-J
The people of the native village took <
the ancient custom of taking the law 1
In their own hands told the murderer J
he must die for hie crime and he
greed to be shot if permitted to die in <
hia full tribal regalia. Accordingly he 1
decked himself out, aa if for a wed- ;
ding or great event, putting on all hia
tribal robes, headdress and charms
and stood up as a target. The natives
then all lined up on the beach and at
a sign, fired.
DIED BY OWN HAND
Mr. Condit emphatically denied the
report of the Juneau Dispatch which
stated that Peter Jaekton had been
shot by Prof. C. E. Hibbs. This he
said was utterly false, as there was
not a shot fired at the murderer un
til he ended his own life in the
woodshed back of the house where he
had been refused assistance.
SHELTER HOUSE NEEDED
The trail over the Portage between
Suizer and the Portage is fairly good,
Mr. Condit reports, but the ice in the
head of the bay is frozen and the mail
boats have some difficulty in making
a landing. Last week, after “mush- ,
ing" across the Portage and arriving
at the small tumbledown shelter with
a party of other oassengers for Ketchi
kan. among them a woman, the mail
beat, unable to break her way thru
the ice, turned around and came over
to town without taking the party whe ;
were obliged to return over the Port- j
age until this week. “If there is to
be S25.0CO spent on the trair between
Portage and Suizer this year. I recom
ment that part of it be spent to build
a comfortable shelter house, so that
oassengers arriving at the Portage,
having to wait for the mail boat may
have a comfortable place to seek shel
ter during the severe weather of the
winter season.
GETTING READY FOR FAIR
The natives of Hydaburg, Klawock,
Suizer, Metlakatla are alt preparing
for their anual fair which is to be held
at Klawock this year, according to Mr.
Condit. Judge Robert W. Jennigs of
the district court, and Superintendent
Henderson, of the Alaskan schools,
have been invited to open the fair. Kla
wock boasts an unique band of sixteen
pieces, made up entirely of boys under
fourteen years of age. The natural
musical ability of the natives, has
been broght out in these young boys
to a surprising extent, and only the
best of music is studied, Mr. Condit
declares..
MOVIE SHOw F0R CRAIG
The small town of Craig will be the
first on the west coast to boast of a
moving picture house, which will be
opened sometime this summer by Prof.
Hibbs of Klawock, who contemplates
starting in business in Craig. Prof.
Hibbs does not intend to teach any
longer after the close of the present
semester, in May.

GERMANY CAN PAY
I
$3,000,000,000 YEARLY
j
London. — Herbert Gibbs, a well
known banker in an address here to
day declared that, having made a
special study of the subject, he was
able to say that the savings of Ger
many were very great. Germans
could easily pay £600,000,000 yearly,
the burden of which, he asserted,
would fall, not on the wage-earners
of Germany, but on the people who
had made the war. He believed that
an allied commission should sit at
F.erlin to receive the money in marks
at the gold rate of exchange.
It was quite possible, Mr. Gibbs said,
that for the first three or four years,
Germany would find great difficulty
;n paying, owing to her economic and
political conditions and he suggestod
that these yearly amounts should at
'rst be received in merchant ships to
‘he value of £500,000i000 and from
:hc earnings of railways.—London
