Seattle's Prosperity.

During the year 1901, the city of Se- attIe enjoyed trade from Alaska and the British Yukon, amounting in round figures to s5OOOONOo. There is every reason to believe that the Alaska busi- ness will not only continue but will increase a hundred per cent within the next few years. This means continued prosperity for Seattle. Now how would it be if the business men of the metrop- olis of the Sound would, in apprecia- tion of the fact that as long as Alaska is prosperous Seattle will continue to thrive and grow, take some steps to eliminate the high freight rates that are in vogue, wherever Alaska shippers are dependent solely upon Seattle steamship companies for the delivery of their wares. Where the Canadian boats enter into competition, the mat ter will adjust itself, but at other places the old schedule that was established years ago, still prevails.

A Plain Talk.

We understand that the proposed plan to incorporate the city of Douglas is meeting with some opposition. We believe that this spirit arises only be- cause of misunderstanding of the objects and purposes of incorporation, and the benefits that it will entail. For that reason we will endeavor to make plain statement of the matter, as we see it, and hope that if we err in any particular our readers will not hesitate to call our attention to the mistake.
 In the first place the law provides that any community having 300 perma' nent inhabitants may incorporate. Douglas comes we'll under the require ments of this act. We have a popula- tion many times the number required.
 An act of Congress approved March 3rd. 1901, provides that 30 per cent of all license moneys provided for by an act of Congress, approved March 3rd, 1899.-the act under which all business concerns are subject to taX-shall be paid the treasurer of incorporated towns. Where town is not incorpor- ated the 50 per cent is covered into the U. s. Treasury, to be used under the direction of the Secretary of the Inter- for for the maintenance of schools out side of incorporated towns.
 Our public schools are now maintain ed by the government from the proceeds of this tax, and, because of the fact that the great number of schools estab- lished at small villages and settlements are absorbing a large portion of the fund, the Douglas schools are compelled to suffer for the want of the things that might easily be purchased with the tax money contributed by our merchants. Everybody will readily admit that our schools can be made better under incorporation.
 Juneau, Skagway, Valdez and Ketch- ikan are all incorporated cities and why should Douglas be behind any one of these? It is true they have made some mistakes, but they have better school houses, more teachers and better schools than Douglas. Again, few of our citizens are opposed to incorpora- tion because Of fear of taxation. The men who are most active in pushing incorporation are the largest property owners in the city, and it is unreason- able to suppose that they would favor an excessive local tax
 As an incorporated city we can pro- vide for necessary street improvements, fire protection, water supply, lights, wharfage, sewerage, maintenance of public schools, protection of public health, police protection, etc., while at present these things are left mainly to chance or individual effort, and it is only matter of good luck that the citizens of this town have escaped an usurpation of their rights by designing speculators, disastrous fire, or pes tilence, and in our humble opinion the move to unite the interests of the community for the protection of all, comes none too soon.
