WHAT THAT FINE MEANS

The magnitude of the fine of $29, ,240,000 imposed upon the Stan- dard Oil Company, may be con- ceived by the following comparison;
 It is the income for one year at 4 per cent on $731 100000.
 It is a trife more than half the money coined each year by the United States government.
 If they contributed all their sal ary 1t would take the presidents of the United States 5S5 years to pay the amount.
 It would take 4S,73O city street laborers one year to work out the amount.
 It would maintain the United States army and navy for two months. It is six times the annual budget of Venzuela. It is the annual revenue of Mex ico. It is the cost of five frst-class battleships. It is nearly one-half the capital of the Bank of England.
 It is nearly one-half the number of silver dollars in circulation,
 It is $3,0OO.OOO more than the "profit" of operating the National Government last year. It is twenty-nine times the capi- tai stock of the Standard Oil Com pany of Indiana, the corporation fined,
 It is ,7S3 times the annual sal ary of Judge Landis, who imposed the fine. It is sufficient to fill with silver dollars IF flat cars of capacity of 33,000 pounds.

ALASKA FOR ALASKANS

Alaska for Alaskans," the mot to which the Katalla Herald car ries at the head of its columns, means in broad sense that Alaske should have complete political au- tonamy; in other words that her people should be given the fullest measure of self-goyernment, com- patible with the Constitution of the United States. It means that the same self-government which in the past has been extended to other states, territories and possessions of this republic should as speedily be possible be given to Alaska; 1t means that the people of this great commonwealth are as capable of governing themselves as are the dark Kanakas, the Porto Ricans, who yesterday were Spanish sub jects, or the little brown Filipino, many of them still clad mostly in sunshine, and whose favorite in- tlustrial implement is machete; it means that Alaska, with a class of citizenship unequaled in any por- tion of this union, demands only that which the fathers of this na- ton fought for and won, and be- queathed to their children-the right to govern themselves.
 Alaska, the greatest of all the possessions of the United States, has withstood the jeers and banters of outrageous fortune, government ally speaking, for the most part with unexampled patience and for titude, thus exemplifying the fact that her people are strong and courageous and are bouyed up by the hope that justice will yet be done them by those placed in au- thority over them.
 Alaska is the land of opportun- ity for all, the rich, the poor, the bond, the free-all who have in them the courage to do right and assist in the upbuilding of what is destined to be one of the greatest Of the stars in the galaxy of states.

What Wrangell needs and has needed for long time, is cold storage plant, or some method by which the tons of fish that could be taken from the waters tributary to town, might be cared for and shipped from here. For years the product of these waters have been taken to other towns and prepared Tor shipment, creating a snug little payroll for the towns and healthy competence for the promoters. If, for instance, fish can be shipped to Ketchikan and there prepared for fe-shipment to outside markets and turned into paying business, why does it not stand to reason that a Wrangell man could reap this re- ward for himself and the tow n where the raw product lie at our very door? The Sentinel man is hot a fisherman nor the son of a fisherman; but observation sug- gests to him that a golden oppor- tunity has been gliding by for a humber of years, and some man or 1nen should grasp it for the benefit ef tie town and community.
