FIRE BOYS ARE
 THE IDEAL HOSTS

What was probably the most enjoyable dance of the season was that given by the local Bremen at Red Mems hali last night. The hall was comfort : ably filled, and the music .by both band and Prof. Sumpf's 5 orchestra was excellent. The boys saw to it that every one of yheir guests had a good time and all went merry as the wed. ding bell. An account of the dance were incomplete without mention of the singing of Os- borne Williams, the Misses Hunt, and "Jack" Close. All rendered good selections, each of which was we'll received.

THE CLOCK

l like to watch the good oiii clock that hung upon the wall; l ready think a man might walk from Cleveland to St. Paul, and not behold a smother piece ol skillful craftmanship: tte wheels went round as slick as grease and never missed a slip. dearly loved for hours to stand and watch the pendulum and note the active minute hand and hear the nyvheei hum. I liked to hear the blamed thing strike-but one fat9ful day the boss remarked "You'd better hike-you are not worth your hay. You're paid to help to sell my stock and do some other chores, but all the day you watch the clock, so chase yourself outdoors. : And then he pushed me with his feet, and famed me with a chair, and when l landed in the street my shoes were in the o;r Ob oIoolc ono roco;oof ing things, and they havelovely works, and pendulums and hands and springs, but they are bad for clerks, who yield to their seductive charm, and watch the hands go round, and listen to the loud alarm and hear the striker pound.

HARD TRIP WITH TOW

The old steamer Dirigo of tho
 Alaska Steamship company, with the barge Dashing Wave in tow arrived from the sonth yesterday. The trip up was a hard one. Several bad blows being experienced, one of them just this side of Seymour Mar rows so bad that the towing checks of the Dashing Wave were pulled out. The barge then anchored, and lost one of her anchors, so that she arrived up in bad shape. The Dashing Wave is being lowed to Taku, where she will be store ship for the cannery. The Dirigo will not make her headquarters here, as reported some time ago, but will return to Seattle, and alternate from that place with the Santa Ana, giving a freight service about every ssv en days.

WILL HELP THE
 SMALL LlTlGANT

Attorney General Wicker sham, in his annual report for 1911. takes up a suggestion Of fered by District Attorney Rod ey, of Nome, and recommends an ammendment to the present law governing jury trial in the commissioners courts. The present law requires commits sioner's jury to be composed of twelve men in every case, even when the sum involved in the case is less than $50. The at torney general therefore recon mends that in the trial of such petty claims the number of ju- ry1ren be reduced below twelve or to none at all; providing, Of course, that this change would not affect the appeal to the dis trict court where new trial be fore a common-law jury of twelve could be had. The pro posed change would greatly fa- cilitate the dispatch of business and reduce the cost of petty lii- igafiOn.

En route to Washington, tO hear the fate of Metlakaht'a. Wm. Duncan, the head of Met- lakahtla is in the city today. waiting for a steamer to take him south on the first stage cf his long trip. It is generally understood that the trip will decide the status of "Father" Duncan and Metlakahtla. Influ ences, both outside and inside his flock, have been at work seeking to effect @ change in the conditions on Annette Is. land. At the present time Mr. Duncon is practically the head of church and state on the is. land and the younger genera tiOnS of the natives feel that they should be accorded more of voice in the management of the community and enter prises connected with it. .be- sides this, it is generally be- lieved and acknowledged that some of the richest minerd; prospects in this region have been located on Annette, but while men are prohibited from prospecting for or developing the properties there, and as the natives being aliens, are not allowed to take up mining properties, the development of what is apparently one of the most promising parts of the Ketchikan mining district is being held back to the deteri. ment of the town and her peo- pie. In addition to this, it is gencraly understood that tho schooling methods at Metla- kahtla have not been kept O.. breast of the times, and for the last couple of years, there has been a strong effort to get the government to take hold of the schools there and conduct them as the native schools In other parts of Alaska are Eeing run.
 These three influences have been at work steadily but sure- ly, and there can be no doubt that the time is coming, and will be here shortly when, Met lakahtla and the Metlakaht- lans will be treated just as the balance of Alaska is handled.

u. s. TO COVER PACIFIC
 WITH WIRELESS

The bureau of steam engin- eering has had experts for tlle last year and half working on the problem of properly cover ing tire Pacific Ocean with wireless communication. They have just submitted their rerort which is 10 the effect that tte Pacific can be covered with wire less so as to have communlc0- tlor at any time of night or day the whole project 10 cost about one million dollars. Guarantees have already been obtained from the wireless companies that they will install apparatus that will do this. This system could be operated without the danger of private corporations obtaining possession of depart mental secrets. Secrecy could be obtained by the use of codes Experiments have shown that by changing the wave lengths of the different stations com munication can be had through interference of any kind. This coGc of the navy is secret, and is kept so by changing. None but commissioned officers have access to this code, and conse- quently there is little chance of it's being communicated to the general outside world. There should be n high powered sta tion. in this system of commu1i ication at Colon, SanFrancisco, Hawaii, Samoa, Guam and the Philippines. The station at Guam would be especially worth construction because there is no cable there, the end of the cable being over in the Fiji Islands. A station on the northern end of Luzon would control all ships anywhere in the North Pacific. The ac- counts of the station at Key West now talking by wireless with Mare Island or Alaska do not mean that this is done re gularly; they are only freak messages that get through by night. The station on Luzon would be in communication with all the ships in Chinese or Japanese waters. The station at Guam could relay to Hawaii. The latter is the only link the bureau is not ready to guaran . tee for communication at any time. It may be necessary to put station on Midway Island. but this contingency is not eX- pectcd to arise, as the develop ment of wireless is looked to make the present routes alWay available. With the high pow CT stations projected there would be little doubt of constant com munication. A very large a. mount of business is now done by wireless between Key West and Colon now just as salis- factorily as by cable.-Army ~

ROOSEVELT AND ALASKA

In all of his recent utterances Col. Rooseelt has laid an i'm mense amount of stress upon the fright of the people to self government" He has repeated this over and over again in his latest utterances. Yet slngu" larly enough, no man ever oc- cupied the presidential chair who went further in denying the rights of the people, or at least of considerable commu- mites of them, to regulate af fairs of their immediate do- mestic concern, than did MT. Roosevelt.
 It were safe to say that he has been brought out as can- didate for the Presidency large ly through the insistence of eff ford Pinchot, the leading finan cial packer of his campaign. Yet Clifford Pinchot, of all the men who have been in public life in this country, is the one most thoroughly obsessed with the idea that the people are not capable of managing their own dOmectic affairs, but that they should be managed on the gen. eral plan of Prussia, by central bureaus, out of reach of the people. And in certain matters of the intimate concern or great communities. Col. Roose- vell supported with all the pow of his administration the Pin chot view.
 If Mr. Roosevelt is so thor oughly convinced of the right of the people to self-govern- ment, why was it that through his entire administration of seven years, he stood in such strong opposition to the grant ing of even a vestige of self government to the people Of Alaska? If he really believes that the people are capable of self government, why was he so lnslstent in support of the Pinchot plan for depriving the people of the western states of the right to regulate and con- trol the development of water that he, without the shadow of authority conferred on him by law, withdrew from the possi- bilily of entry every tract of pubic land which could be used as a site for the construc- ton of plant through which the water powers which be- lOnged to the western states could be developed for the ben eft of the people of those states.
 Col. Roosevelt never exhibit ed the slightest sympathy with the idea of popular governm ent in bis acts as president. His own idea of government thus exhibited has always been a Washington, dominated by Il centralized beaureaucracy at strong executive empowered to make regulations having the ef fects of law, with congress and the courts in complete subjec- ton to the executive. That may be popular government, in his idea. In practical effect it IS government by a tempor- ary autocracy.-Ex.
