after they have learned what is to be

Think They have no theaters, no ho-

TIE ALASKA GABLE SERVICE

iu his annual repor, Brig. Gen. James Allen again emphasizes the need of another cable between Seattle and Siska, Alaska, though the present cable, he says, Is work ing admirably, and fully meets the requirements of busi- ness However, iJ is the practice to duplicate deep-sea lines in order to guard against accidents, and 1t is for shis purpose, primarily, that an sd- dltioO0l line is urged.
 Rapid progress has been made in the matter of equipping Alaska with tel, sgraph service, and the amount of bus mess handled jusGiiies the extensions made. At present Alaska has 2,524 miles oi submarine cable, l,4O3 miles oi land cable, IO7 miles of wireless, torty-fve telegraph offices, eighteen,  money transfer offices and ten cable cfices.
 The additional cable line recon needed would cost about s66O,OOO, and Brig. Gen. Allen says the only question in be determined is as to whether it is vor,h so much st this time to insure uninterrupted communication over the routs.

ITS NOT PREFERENCE

In this controversy over the admis- sion of Japanese laborers it is worth while to note that those who employ Japs do not do so because they can be had for lower wages, but because whites cannot be had at all or are unre- liable when employed. The rate Of wages is not the determining element. Fruit growers who must have help upon which they can depend have found that whites Hay off, when the weather is threatening and work only when they
 feel like it That Kind Of labor is un- safe for a man who has a crop of per ishable fruit to be saved. No employer has said that the Japs are cheaper. They gre declared to be reliable work CTS, while the whites are not. At the same time, employers and employees must remember that in California the fruit growers have learned that the Japs are unmerciful when once they get the orchard owner in their power.
