It seems a trifle queer for q town l

It seems a trife queer for town council to be compelled, in order to abate a nuisance or a menace to public health, to pay reward for such abatement Take, for exam pie, the bounty on rats. One eiti- zen is as likely as another to be seized by bubonic plague, the dan. ger is everywhere, yet the average citizen will not take a part in the crusade against the pest which ear- ries the germs without remunera- tion. It should be a matter of public pride for the residents of any town to join hands in the ex- termination of rats. If there is danger of your property being de- stroyed by the elements, will you wait for someone to pay you for taking measures to prevent such destruction? Why. then. when one human life is worth more than millions of property, should you stand back until paid in money for the protection of the public against the deadly plague? Every man, woman and child in Wrangell is in danger of it. Let's tell the council to apply the funds of the town to some necessary public improve ment, while we destroy every rat freely and willingly.

EDITORS NOTE

It will be noticed that this issue of the SENTINEL has a good deal to say in regard to bubonic plague, and the public duty of preventing, if possible, its introduction among us. The reason of the deep interest taken in this matter is, that we deem it the duty of & newspaper to warn the people of the possible encroachment of an enemy. Ii a large quantity of dynamite were placed in the center of town, the danger to the Wrangell public would be no greater than it is at the present time, when any one of the ships coming from Seattle may bring the germ which will give the dread disease its start here; and if that dynamite should explode, the result would be less appalling than if bubonic plague took root it town. In large cities persons afflicted can be isolated, reducing the danger to a minimum; but in small towns, not prepared for such emergencies, it is different. 4 strict quarantine would be instituted, and made ef- fective until the disappearance oi the last symptom. A quarantine would mean no intercourse with the outside, and this is condition which should not be welcomed.
 Now, knowing that the extermi. nation of the genus Mus is the one effectual way of warding of plague which would you rather do: spend a few minutes in setting traps and spreading poison or, be shut ur in your homes for, perhaps, many weeks or months?
 There is cause for alarm, so lin time of peace, prepare for war;

LETTING DOWN THE BARS
ICoNTRIBUTEDI

During the last season the can neries had difficulty in getting a sufficient number of Chinamen to do their work. Other kinds of labor were tried, but it proved very unsatisfactory, and we are informed that a combined effort is being made to let down the bars in some way, so that Chinese laborers can be secured.
 Has not our country enough ra- eial problems in hand now, without making things worse?
 When weak races come in con- tact with strong races, the first thing they do is to learn their vices. So it is that the more of alien races that are introduced, the greater the moral problems become.
 Have we not, as nation, gone far enough in OUT money-mad ca- reer? Should there not be some other things thought of more than dollars and cents?
 Would it be great calamity if the canneries did not go on increas- ing the size of their packs? The fish would have 8 better chance. Then, possibly some of this labor could be done by white people or Indiana that the Chinese are now expected to do.
 The present scarcity of labor is cot going to continue. Last sum- mer was an unusually prosperous summer, and it is probable that there will not be the like again in a number of years. There are men enough here to do the work Keep the Chinese out, we do not need them.

Some of the salmon fishermen
 are putting up a howl about the wholesale use of herring for the manufacture of guano. And they
 have just cause for complaint. At Killisnoo the herring fishermen
 take as high as six hundred barrels of these little fish at one haul of a seine. Just stop and think what this will amount to, if allowed to continue. It means that with each succeeding year the favorite food of the salmon become scarcer, and that within a comparatively short space of time the salmon will have to choose another habitat than the waters of Alaska. and one of the greatest industries of the territory will become an item of history. Thousands of employees will thus be thrown out of employment at the canneries-an enormous sacri- flee to the greed of one or two small concerns. Excellent fertil- izer can be made from seaweed, of which there is an exhaustless SUD- ply; and if the management of the various fsh-guano manufactories would apply the rule of Hive and let live" and turn their attention

KEEP A LOOKOUT

A recent dispatch says that the movement of the battleship fleet to the Pacific was recommended by the naval board, the members of which had information that agents of Japan were preparing to seize a base on the Pacific coast, presuma- ply somewhere along Western Al aska.
 It will be remembered that prior to the Russo-Japanese war, numer- ous Japanese, ostensibly friendly to Russia, went into Russian territory, married Russian women and en- gagged in various mercantile pur- suits-always on 6 small scale. When war actually occurred, it transpired that these merchants(?) were 10 more nor less than spies in the employ of the Japanese gov ernment, having gone into Russia simply for the purpose of learning the topography and. geography oi the country with regard to the pos sibility of the movement of troops and munitions of war.
 A local case of the same nature is reported. It is said that vessel recently loaded near Cape Fanshaw with mild-cured fish for Japan. A portion of the crew were Japanese and they spent the greater portion of the time in drawing maps, talk. ing soundings, and gathering other data, absolutely useless to friend ly merchant ship. They probably also ascertained the ease with which the cable could be cut at that point, so as to shut of com- munication with the world from this section.
 Does this mean anything? It means simply this:
 Japan can not go to war without money. But she can cut the cable, and by deploying a few fast ships in the road of the gold-laden boats from the north, seize them and be well upon her way across the Pa cifc before our men o'-war could be notified.
 Now, does the eyer-increasing Japanese population of Alaska signify anything?
 Almost every ship which comes from Sound ports brings a few sub iects of the Mikado, who are left of at various points along the route. Wrangell has it's quota, and at the present time there are not less than half dozen of the little yellow men living here in apparent idle. ness and leisure.
 It is not our purpose to stir up feeling against these Japanese, yet it will do no harm to keep our weather eyes open. Eternal vigil lance is the price of safety.

If you were in danger of being run over by train, would you ask anybody to pay you for moving? Alaska draws her supplies from Seattle, where bubonic plague has already done deadly work, and the danger to the people Of Alaska is as great as ii they were in front of runaway train.
