MYSTERIOUS n ED
A returning visitor to Sea'. states that ther
are at least one thousand oe ■ is in that city
awaiting transportation ac • dation to come
north. At the same time, t: in says there
are a large number of vessels idle in the harbor,
most of which a ’ r the : .ii i of the Federal
Shipping Board. This is \ :u ‘lie mysterious
part of it all comes in. PI. :: boats, but they
must not be used; apparent
Our fishing season is c! hand and labor
is scarce. Why wouldn't o\ eminent use
these boats to bring th ^ g for the ac
commodation? Does n act of con
gress before the people c\ * he government
property with which (: the country.?
If it does, then of course th ■ els cannot be
used for congress adi. ui- ‘ hort time ago,
and to have prepared Ft an emergency
required forethought, an : " ility with the
administration.
In connection with this e of transport
ation accommodation, there ' omething more
to wonder at; and that The agents of
the transportation companies here, say that the
steerage accommodatin' h; ever occupied
Are our old Alaskans who e d irons to return
north getting too ‘tony" t ira otherwise than
first class. Of course it : t'n ir privilege; but
if they are as anxious :tn as they want us
to believe, a little incon - ike that should
not be allowed to stand in the! way. Come up
boys, come up! You-51 be ju as big here in
your working clothes nk you are in
the Spirit City with your • d igs on.
THEY ARE T ■ " NATURE
We enjoy calling the i Huns because
they have conducted the • a barbarians.
In 1900 William II. in ar to the German
expedition then leavin ~ told his sol
diers to give no quarts- .1 ; ’ e no prisoners,
but “gain a reputation 1 ko uns under At
tila.’ In the world war, the : r.’ans have fully
maintained that reputation '’very respect.
We know from the ej : er to Francis
Joseph that they rep: : •*" ‘ i;cv of terro
rism, deliberately can d • we also ki h
that there was no prote German peo
ples. Mr. Balfour spw- ‘ ' when he said
“Brutes they were anti bratea they lrwn4lh* ~ -i
Yet our own government as well as oar allies are
rushing food to the brutes.
Being civilized nations makes all the differ
ence in the world. The United States and Great
Britain have agreed that Germany must be fed,
though the feeding entails high prices at home.
But it is no comfort to contemplate how we
would be fed by the Huns were the situation re
versed, for we know how little the Hun would
care for starving John Bulls or Yanks. If the
Huns must be fed they should be made to pay
dearly for the food. Charity begins at home
and in this case our pocketbooks suffer.
Many persons have felt that justice had not
been done when they saw the cities of France 1
and Belgium in ruins, while those of Germany
were unharmed. The spectacle of the Germans
wrecking their own cities will be a source of sa
tisfaction to these people, and they do it with
guns and ammunition which would have been
used against Americans if the war had continued
—Portland Oregonian.
FIRST IVDISION LEADS
The number of school teachers employed in
the municipalities of the First Division, compar
ed with those of the other Divisions, would indi
cate that this Division is far in advance of the
others as a permanently settled section of homes
The records in the office of the Commissioner of
Education shows the following as the number of
teachers employed:
First Livision—Juneau 14; Ketchikan 10; Dou j
glas 9; Skagway 5; Wrangell 4; Petersburg 4;
Sitka 3; Haines 2. In the immediate vicinity of
Juneau and Ketchikan there are: Thane 2,
Treadwell 2 and at Ketchikan, Charcoal Point 1;
making a total of 56.
Second Division—Nome 5.
Third Division—Anchorage 8; Cordova 5; Yal
dez 3; Seward 4; Talkeetna 1,making a total 23
Fourth Division—Fairbanks 8; Nenana 2;j
Iditarod 1; Tanana 1; Eagle 1; Total 13.
Of the 143 white teachers employed in Alaska
65 are in the First Division and 78 in the other
three Divisions.
Of the fourteen schools giving high school
work, seven are in the First Division and seven
in the other three Divisions. Juneau Empire.
HALIBUT CATCH INCREASED
The increase in the amount of halibut landed
at this port is interesting, and especially so to
those who are in business here and who benefit
by the arrival of the fishermen and the boats ;
and who sell supplies to the vessels. It is a clear
indication that this is the market that is bound
to win out. The sale of 824,800 lbs. of halibut f
at this port is a record for February.
For the month of January it will be remember
ed the catch landed here was 374,500 lbs. During
that same month the halibut landed at Seattle
mounted to 352,910 lbs. There was no halibut
’anded during that month either at Ketchikan!
