THEY MAKE MANY
 cREWSOME FINDS

Every few days the papers of the Northland are in receipt of inquiries from anxious rela-' tives and friends of men who have come to Alaska and then disappeared. In too many in- stances nothing comes of the inquiry, although once in a while some lost wanderer is found for wife, mothre or sis ter as the result of the public ity given the search by the pa pers. An instance of why so many of the inquiries are in vain is seen in the statement of John Wells, for the past 3 years a member of the boun- diary survey working between Alaska and the Yukon territo- ry who reports that during the present season, the skeletons of no less than ten white men were found by the survey gang during their line running in the interior, mute evidences Oi the unrelenting Arctic wild. The remains of one poor fel- low were found without weap- Ons, tools or blankets in sight, the finger bones still grasping a half-cOnsumed can of meat, all the food apparently left. In another place well-stock-
 cd cache was dicovered, con- taning food in abundance, and arms and ammunition, which looked as though it had lain
 undiSturbed for at least five years, and one cannot but won der who and where arc the
 men who made it. Mir. Wells is well-knOwn to the Old-tim-
 CTS of this region beng en- gagged a few years ago in pros

STREET REPAIRS
 ALMOST DONE

The repaving of the lower end of Main street is now rap- idly nearing completion. The work has been we'll done, and much praise is due the mel who have been on the wolk, for their care and energy in the terrible wet and windy weather they have been col"
 pe'led to work in. It is to be hoped that before the street needs repaving again. Ketchi- kan will have reached the con- crete period. Sooner or later we shall have to commence paving our .> fset~ with ce. ment, and the council inaug- uaratin it will be written as the true fathers of Ketchikan. it is almost a waste ofamoney to spend it for wood pavement which, at best last but a few years and then have to be re- placed. It would be economy and good business to start us- ing cement anywhere it can be used, and thus save the ever lasting drain now on the towns treasury for repairs.

BREAKS FILLER
 IN WILD STORM

Capt. Fred Temple reports an exciting half hour in a trip he is just home from. He was returning from Lin- coin Rock on board his cruis- CT the Searchlight, where he had been to take Keeper Doug las back to his post and on the way back concluded that he had better anchor for the night at Ratz Harbor as it was then too dark and stormy to cross the straits. He headed for the entrance of the har- hOr and found that breakers were too high to make 1t. so swung the launch around to seek other refuge. As the launch was broadside on to the seas, swinging around, a big one struck her rudder. smashing the post and tiller, flooding the dynamo and leav- ing her helpless. After a hard struggle, a sail was gotten out and an oar dashed on astern to steer by, so that she was able to make an anchorage, and lat CT proceed to town.

J Lyons in the case of the U- nited States vs. M. Kono and 20 others.
 The question involved was whether the defendants were guilty of felony or misdemen- or. The case originated ill Ketchikan. Mir. kono and his Japanese associates were in- oicted last spring for fish:u. C. Srlday, which, a. cordily ,1 the .;,aska code, is 6 Ci.'scd season fol all kinds of fisnla3 except rod and line.
 The case came to trial ana the Japnese defendants ap- peared by counsel, (Ingersol and Cosgrove) at the October term of court in Ketchikan The defendants appearing by counsel only and not in person their bail was declared for feithed.
 Counsel for defendants therefore. moved to set aside the order of forfeiture on the ground that the crime is a mis |demeanor and not felon! and that under our law defend ants charged with misdemean- or may appear by counsel al all times.
 The government cOntendeo that the Olfense is a felony be- cause the law provides the per alty of imprisonment at harC labor not exceeding 90 days. 
 The court held that unles. | the law states expressly tha punishment for an Offense is imprisonment in a penilentiarl the confinement must be il the federal jail.
 This decision draws the dis
 tnction between felony and { misdemeanOr on the kind O.
 punishment provided for the offense--a sentence to the per itentiary makes felon. and { :c.itcGcc to the federal jail, { , minor criminal only.

NO WONDER THE
 CABLE QUIT

According to word received
 from Wrangell this morning,
 an immense slide was the
 cause of the break in the Wrangell-Sitka cable. It be- gar within half a mile of
 Wrangell, and for very close
 to three miles, tons of rock,
 etc., had slld down onto the
 f.Dle effectually putting 1t ou! |of business. The Burnside, tte latter part of last week, locat- ed the Sltka end of the break, and ever since had been try ing to pick up the other end. This was done at lasL. and the wire between there and Wran gell tested out, when it was found that it was grounded be tween the two points so thoi the current short circuited and failed to get through. The loose end was buoyed up, and tie crew proceeded to exam inc the cable between there and Wrangell to find out if possible what was wrong. Then discovery was made that for the greater part of three
 miles, the cable was com- pletely buried. This morning the ship picked up the inshore end of the cable, made a splice and laid new length of rope over the slide for three miles, where the connection with the balance is being made, so that the line will be in commission again tonight or tomorrow morning unless some other Gc fett developes. The cable has been out o' business 40 days today. and has eniailc,. great less and lGconveni :nce to the business people ol this rea.on. Without it It was pra 'liclA in,- possible to know wi.t was dO. ing the world in general, where the steamers were, and all the multitudinous other things our civilization demands we should know. In fact We never realized just how inI- pOrtant that cable is until 1t is down and out of business.
 Speaking of the break in tl cable the Wrangell Sentil
 said recently: The cable has been out of commission one month. During that time a Democratic rpcei1elt, the first in sixteen years, was elected, Alaska has had it's first legis- lature elected. eight worlds series games were played, Jack Johnson was arrested and the Canadian wireless boosted it's prices. Still we will be thankful by the 2Sth.

SUCH LAWS SHOULD
 BE CHANGED

Here is a question to ans wer: Suppose you were mas : ter of large, safe, ocean-go- ing steamship. The vessel is lying at sea off a bleak Alas
 kan coast. Il will be the last vessel of any sort to visit this
 coast for nine months, perhaps Hanger. The first hurricane of
 the Arctic is bowling, forerun-
 ner of the savage, wicked, fro-
 zen winter. Out from shore
 there comes a fleet of tiny
 boats, seen now but a mo-
 ment at the crest of the wave, disappearing for long mo-
 nlents in the deep troughs of the seas. As master of the
 steamship, you realize you
 must put to sea at once to save the vessel from blowing ashore. Steam is up and all is ready to hoist the anchor w hen the fleet Of small boats draws alongside the towering steel hull, tossing wildly on the big waves. In the small
 boats are twenty-siX men, two women and two babies. The mon and women beg and implore you to take them off that ileak coast tC civilatlOn l. is their last opportunity they must leave. The women hold ui, their babies appealing ly toward you. You are q gruff sea captain, perhaps, bat your sympathy is awak- cned, naturally. But your boat is a freight ship. The law says you must not carry pas sengers. You will be subject ed to a heavy fine if you do.. Would you weigh dollars a. eainst humanity? Capt. Geo. w. Brown, master of the freight steamship Leelanaw, was confronted with that prob lem in Kotzebue sound this fall as his vessel lay seven
 miles off Keewalik. Capt. Brown remOnstrated but his humanity forbade sending them ashore again. They came aboard and were carried without any charges to Nome. At Nome the collector of cus- toms fined Capt. Brown S1,- GOO for carrying passengers without a license. If you were that captain and you knew the consequences of your act, would you have done what he did. Any man would .---P.-I.

 of a blockade of the Suez can
 al is as undesirable to England
 as the opportunity for naval
 and maritime progress is es-
 sential for Russia. Austria would also be glad to secure
 the Balkan peninsula, while
 Germany, France, and Italy, for commercial and strategic reasons are as anxious to pre- went it. Neverless, the main- tcnance of the integrity and in- dependence of the Ottoman
 Empnre was probably the most
 ill advised and suicidal diplo-
 hlatlc ortion that has ever been
 taken ry a body of represent
 atives discussing international
 questions. Various attempts
 at reform have proved futile,
 and i'll secession the people of
 Rnmania, Servia, and Monte
 negro rose in revolt and, as a sequel to the Russo-Turkish war in 1877, achieved indepen- dence. Bosnia and Her1ega- vina were placed under the sovereignty of Ansria, and Eastern Rumelia was made autonomous under a Christion governor general, nominated by the Sultan. The quarrels between Nohammedans and Christians have continued un- abated, and the Balkan states have been in continued unrest through difficulties with each ether and from their concern in the oppression suffered by their compatriots who still re- main under the Turkish sOver- eighty. The war now in pro- gross is the outcome of the taken by Turkey dur ing the past year in suppress ing revolution on the bOrde IFS Of Montenegro. The King of that tiny country, which has an area of 3G00 square miles and population less that that of San Francisco, courayeously war. in which Greece. Servia and Bulgaria hastened to join. In 4 weeks vigorous, the allies have pushed the Turks back to the out skirts of Constantinople and the Turkish Government has, requested the intervention Of the great European nations to prevent it's complete over throw. Austria and Italy are to intervene, but Eng land, France, Germany, and Russia seem disposed to give. the allies a free hand, for the present at least. What will be the final outcome only the event will tell. If the varying of the great Euro pean powers can be so recon ciled as to permit the eXpul- sion of the Turks from Euro ope, lasting peace may come after three centuries of tur- moil. If not, there will follow a new Undressing of Turkish power in order to postpone a little longer it" inevitable fall.

THE BALKAN SITUATION

reasons for the war now being waged in Southeastern Europe
 He like many of his readers had but a vague idea until he dug up the following.
 The Balkan peninsula is a mountainous area lying south of the Danube and Save rivers and is washed on it's southern margin by the Ionlan, Mediter- ranean, Egean. Marmora, and Hlack Seas. With a total area including adjacent islands, of about 150,0O0 square miles, or approximately the same as the state of Montana, it contains within it's borders the sultan ate of European Turkey, the czardom of Bulgaria, Eastern Rumelia, the kingdoms of Greece, Servia and Monteneg- TO, and the Austrian provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The peninsula has been a seat of civilization since an early period and the Macedonian Empire under Alexander as we'll as the subsequent intell- actual empire of Greece dO- minated the world of their time. Later a part of the RO- man Empire, it's inhabitants became converted to Christi anity in the time of the Christ ian emperors. In the time of Diocletian, the Roman Elm pire was, for administrative purposes, divided into two parts of which the Balkan pen insula form<l the eastern di- vision. When the western empire of Rome was over thrown by the Gauls in 476 the eastern division continued it's troubled existence for thOus- and years, until in 1453 the Ottoman Turks under MOham- med II swept across the Bos- porus and conquered the whole peninsula. Suleiman 1 eXten- ded his dominion over Hun gary, and even, in 1520, be- sieged Vienna, but his suc- cessors were less vigorous and his death marks the beginning of the decline i'll power which as ever since been character istic of Turkey. That peaceful conditions in the peninsula could never be attained under Turkish rule was evident from the beginning. With Christian races of the lineage of ancient Greece and Macedonia, gOver- ned by corrupt and venial Mo- hamm adan officials and with fandtlcal religious antagonism superimposed on political in justice, contiual unrest is sure to be the result. As Turkish pew CT waned the unrest of if- Christian subjects increased until, at the beginning of the nineteenth century they were ready to successfully assert themselves. In 1920 the Greeks reyolted and after ten years war their indepen- dence was recognized by the Porte. Meanwhile Russia had declared war upon Turkey and il both these conflicts the most potent and significant factor was the concerted ac- ton of the great European powers. Following the treaty ol Chaumont in 1914 and the subsequent Congress of Nien- na and fostered by the influ- ence of Prince Metternieh, the European nations has come to act together to maintain the equilibrium of power through out the continent. The effects of this political trust as it may be called in the language of today, are perhaps most clearly seen in the maiutenan-

ton as president of the federation.
He has served about sixteen years,
