After the transmission of the first eastward message and England's dispatch to Canada was received. the station was declared open fer commercial busi- ness.

The failure of the Hamburg firm. and the Butte bank followed closely on the news of the suspension of the Heinze firm on the stock exchange. The Butte bank was largely controlled by the Heinze interests, F. Augustus being the principal stockholder. The news of the Otto Heinze companys suspension from the stock exchange and the failure of the Hamburg firm precipitated a run which immediately caused the suspension of the bank. IL is said that the claims against the firm, growing principally out of the attempted corner of United Copper may reach s2,5O0.O0O.

The Morals of Alaska.

While there may be the usual lapses in Alaska, so far as the moral code is concerned, yet scant evidence of the fact is to be found in current reports. The newness of the northern country considered, it is fine tribute to the people of Alaska that so few otfenses are committed against the legal and ethical standards of the age. Of course the ban put on gambling in Alaska communities, as the Rev. Thomas Jenkins, of Ketchikan, suggests, may have been an important factor in re- ducing offenses against law and morals in the northern country.
 Whatever the influence, the results are notable, and creditabie to Alaskans, and there are very many reasons why they should take special pride in the exceptional record.
 Usually the settlement of new area is marked by many violent happenings and these unquiet events continue for some time after the organization of civil and social forces. In some partic' ulars Alaska has not been an exception to the rule; but, by processes of eimi' nation, the bad influences in Alaska communities have been checked. Cen ters of immortality have been sup pressed. Gambling dens and notori' ously bad dance halls have been tabooed by the authorities, and these conditions may have much to do with the general improvement of Alaska's morals.
 In any event, the moral record of Alaska is exceptional, and it is good indication of the strength and general worth of the American men and women who make up the population of the northern country. Of course there is crime, and there are criminals, in Alaska; but the vicious forces seem to be in subjugation to the forces of norality and law and order,-P,-I.

Western Federation Rejected

The Western Federation of Miners is not wanted in Minnesota and Mich igan. That has been made strikingly clear since the beginning of a strike among the miners in the iron ore re- gions of northern Minnesota a few weeks ago. The efforts of federation agitators to organize the miners have been emphatically and to a large eX- tent successfully discouraged by citi' zens, business men and many of the miners themselves. Two recent incl dents are samples of many that have occurred.
 An agitator sent by the Western Federation of miners to Crystal Falls, Mich, was informed by the miners that they were contented with their lot and had no desire to become iden- tifed with an organization which has made for itself the record of the Western Federation in Idaho and Colo rado. The stranger left.
 At Virginia, Minn., another agitator dropped into town and planned to hold a meeting. As soon as the news spread a committee of business men called up' on him and suggested that he leave. He complied with thGir wishes and the lights in the hall were turned out. Af- | forwards about 100 business men met and passed number of resolutions, of which this was one: "That the people of this district will not tolerate anarchy or allow agitators to stir up strife among our people"
 On the principle that prevention is better than cure" the people of north ern Michigan and Minnesota are doing we'll to prevent, by lawful means, the Western Federation of Miners from at taining strength in their territory. They are familiar enough with the story of crime, outrage and murder connected with that organization in Idaho to become firmly determined that opportunity shall not be given among them for similar lawlessness- Spokesman-Review.

Ex-Gov. Swinetord and the
 S.A.H.I.B.

The following excerpts from an artl- cIe in the Ketchikan Daily Miner (Ex- Gov. Swineford's paper) indicate that the "Governor" is with us for the up building of Alaska:
 The Miner is in receipt of literature from the secretary of the Southeastern Alaska Homeseekers' Information Bur eau, at Douglas, setting forth at some length the object and purpose of that organization. A perusal of this liter ture indicates an intention on the part of this newly organized bureau to pur- sue a good work along lines best calcu- lated to result in great good, not only to its home town, but incidentally to the whole southeastern section, and having that main object in view, 1t should be accorded the earnest, cordial support and cooperation of every per son who feels an interest in the more rapid advancement of the material in- terests and welfare of the section i'll which they have made their homes.
 
 While in full sympathy with objects of this organization we beg leave to suggest it can do nothing better, so far as its home town and surroundings are concerned, in the way of publicity, than to make free use of it's home paper in the publication of such information as it seeks to spread abroad, and in that way more effectively reach the public than is otherwise possible. A good To- cal newspaper, in the columns of which the industry and business of a town Is we'll represented, is in itself the best advertisement that town can send abroad. Douglas has such paper; if the Homeseekers' Information Bureau is wise it will not only make liberal use of its columns, but do all it can to give it a wider circulation abroad. In the meantime, its officials may confidently rely on the cordial cooperation of the Miner in all efforts it may make look ing to the accomplishment of it's much to be desired ends.

A paper published at Juneau an- nouuces that it is the friend of "organ- ized" labor. The statement is in line with many other things which that same particular paper lets go in it's haste. In this country there are SO many who labor that it really looks a little bit stingy to pick out one little class as being worthy of friendly over lures, to the exclusion of all others. Every man who works is entitled to the friendship and goodwill of all. It's the work that counts. The fact that a man belongs to some particular lodge, church or labor organization does not signify that he is any better than his fellows.

The curfew ordinance now in force in Ketchikan, says the Miner, should be supplemented in every family by cur few which will positively ring tonight" and every other night, if found neces- sary. Every we'll regulated family can have one. They are inexpensive, and can be made right at home. Take a piece of siding two feet long and whit tie one end down to a handle; then take the child that needs the curfew and bend him over a barrel. Now take the piece of siding in the hand and use it for a clapper. Put it on hot. Divide the strokes evenly and see that none miss. Good for boy or girl up to the age of sixteen and applications are war ranted to cure the most pronounced case of street loaflug that exists. The music the curfew makes is finer than singing "Where is My Wandering Boy Tonight"
