THE TRIALS OF
 A NEWSPAPER

There really ought to be a. bout six newspapers run in Cor dova, with the management changed monthly. There are so many factions of factions that all should have opportunity to demonstrating what they don't know about the newspaper bus mess. It's difficult to please all people all the time. And for the good reason that all people in this town, don't hold to the same vews all the time, or even a great part of the time. When one editor attemps to satisfy alll elements he is certain to lose the confidence of those same vacillating elements. They don't regard a newspaper as they do any other public

WHY NOT HELP ALASKA TOO

Secretary Fisher of the de- Iment of the interior, is doing good work for Alaska this week in appearing before the Senate Committee and asking that the men and machines which will be thrown out of employment and left idle by the completion of the Panama canal, be shipp- ed to Alaska and utilized in building a railroad from Seward to Fairbanks. This is in line with his earlier suggestion that the government open a colliery in the Alaska coal fields and and supply the necessary trans portation facilities. We have already indicated our approval of the general scheme. The secretary now points the way to practical work. The develop ment is a great national duty and a trunk line railroad is the
 first desideratum. Rightly or wrongly the old policy of gov ernment guarantee of bonds of a private company, with or with out a land grant, is now con- .demned. Private capital can- not afford to do the work eX- cept on the basis of monopclls- tic exploitation. The govern ment has the trained men, the machinery and the money. Why not give Alaska the same help as was given the western states though the means be in keeping with the times?

New { (men's) Hats at Fields.
The Ketchikan miner., 1912-05-24

Patent laws in the United States are in a notoriouSly un satisfactory condition, and the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court will not contribute to their popularity. The maker of a mimeograph decided to sell his machine at low profit, but imposed as a con dition that the buyer should use only a specified brand of ink which the maker of the mimeo- graph manufactured and upon which the profit was large. The court held that the manufactur- er was not only within his rights in imposing this condition, but might impose others as well. The possible results of this de- .cision are startling, and we shall wait anxiously to know whether users of vacuum or other patent filters are to be required to buy only certain brands of Overalls, and to wear silk hats while working.-Min- ing and Scientific Press.

Instead, many individuals consider that a paper is more or less a ben eficiary of public favor, rather than an absolute necessary fac tor in the development of any progressive community. And even when a publisher spends his own money for the privilege of running an independant new spaper there are many who really feel offended because he does not conduct his busi- ness according to their ideas. And yet these same men won't risk their money in starting a paper that they might consider would satisfy public demand. They just talk abaut it.-Cor- dova Alaskan.
