DETAILS OF SHAFSTAD
 DISAPPEARANCE

WRANGELL, May 22,-The Senti. nel contains the following account of the disappearance of Christ Shafstad: Christ Shafstad a well known fisher man of Wrangell is reported missing from his camp at Elephants Nose. Hofstad and Bronson, who are operat- ing a camp on Woronkofski island, heard that there were several trap piles on the beach near Shafstad's camp and while looking for them found the skin of Safstad's on the beach, and on investigation found his camp. They were surprised to find that his camp had been deserted and looked as though it had not been occupied for two or three weeks The dishes had mildewed are evidence that no one had used them for some time. Several 3O.3O cartridges were found, but no gun could be seen. Shafstad left Wrangell about two months ago for his camp and it was supposed that he would be here for gill-net fishing on the Stikine which usually begins about this season of the year.
 A party will leave today to take up the search for Shafstad.

ALASKA MAPS FOR
 PRESIDENT WILSON

SEATTLE, May 21.- Twenty-eight maps and 1O2 photographs are used in q pictorial album to tell the story of Alaska's possibilities and resources, which will be forwarded to President Woodrow Wilson tonight, by the Alas ka Bureau of the New Seattle Cham Der of Commerce. The album is one of the most striking object lessons on the immeusity of latent resources in the Northern territory ever devised Particularly interesting are the maps which show the size of Alaska as compared with the United States and other countries.
 These maps show that in a line east and west the center of the United States is not in Illinois, but at a point slightly to the westward of Cape Flat tery. The maps also show that much of the agricultural land is in the same latitude as Norway and Sweden, which supports a population of 1O,- 900, 900 people as against Alaska's 76,- 900. The location of the schools, the mines, the reindeer stations and every other feature of Alaska life are care fully illustrated with photographs.
 It is the hope of the Chamber that the maps illustrating the meager transportation facilities of the terri tory is one that will attract the Pres ident's eye. A similar album will be presented to the Secretary of the h. terior.

 The bridge across Cinema slough was saved when the ice went out of that stream in front of Fairbanks this year. Cinema slough runs between Ket- chikan and Garden island. In fact many business houses are located on the island. The bridge which con meets the island with the city proper accommodates much traffic. Usual ly it is carried out each spring at the breaking up of the ice and has to be replaced. The saving of the bridge means saving of several thousand dollars to the municipality

PREMATURE AGITATION.

Any agitation for two cent passen-
ger rate in Louisiana is premature, as
there are other things more desirable
in railway service than this. What
the people of this State most need are
greater transportation facilities, more
railroads, opening new territory. 1t
would certainly be ill-timed to propose
any cut in passenger earnings while
the field needs to be made more invit-
ing to new prospects, rather than dis
couraging at the outset.
Again the people need more trains
running, and can well afford to offer
inducements to this end, rather than
cut down the earnings of the railroads
which claim that the agricultural de-
preston in the boil )weevil districts
has interfered greatly with theil
profits.

PROBABLY EFFECTIVE.

In an address before the L. S. U.
Summer School Superintendent Harris
also spoke of the changing of teachers
about from place to place for really no
definite reason. He said that the way
this problem should be solved was for
the school boards to employ a teacher
at minimum salary and state that
this teacher would be retained so long
as the work done was satisfactory, and
the salary would be increased accord
ingly until it reached a maximum,
which might be named at the begin
ming. He mentioned that this mobili-
ty of the teachers was due not only to
the teachers themselves, but also to
the school boards and superintend-
ents. Teachers are not made to feel
that they are expected to remain at
one place more than two years.

THE LOUISIANA PRESS
ASSOCIATION.

Under the caption "Two Views" the
Donaldsonville Chief produces the fol-
lowing:
THE st. Francisville True Democrat
looks with scant favor upon the Louisiana
Press Association because the body
doesn't confine itself to talking shop ex
clusively at its yearly reunions.
THE st. Helena Echo surveys the mat
ter through wholly different pair of
spectacles thuswise:
we rely upon the indulgence of our
patrons this week in being late going to
press. This does not often occur, and no
one would hardly blame us for going to
the press convention and being with the
smart Alexis for a day or so. These an
nual gatherings constitute about the only
wide place in the road we find, and we
return encouraged to struggle on. We
had great time in Shreveport, the Queen
City of North Louisiana, and we shall tell
something about it next week
Most of us whose livers are normal
and whose milk of human kindness is un-
clabbered will prefer the genial Echo's
view"
The first paragraph of the above is
incorrect as to cause. 1t is not the de.
sire of The True Democrat that the AS
ISOLATION confne itself exclusively to
talking shop at the annual meetings,
but rather that fair proportion Of the
time devoted to the meetings be con-
sumed in the discussion of subjects
germane to the printing and publish
ing industry Reference to program of
recent meetings of the Association
will prove that our contention is cor
rect.
That there is a desire on the part of
some members of the Association to
suppress shop talk" at the annual
meetings is illustrated by the follow
ing incident: A few weeks prior to
the Lake Charles meeting, the perpet-
ual secretary of the Association wrote
to a printer-editor asking him to de-
liver an address at the coming meet
ing on some topic of his own choosing,
and requesting an immediate answer.
The PIE. answered by return mail, nam
ing his subject, and requesting that he
>be allowed to speak at one of the exec
utive sessions of the meeting. After
preparing his paper, he was comewhat
chagrlned when the program of the
coming meeting appeared in print, and
there was no reference to him or his
paper. Furthermore, up to four o'clock
yesterday afternoon no explanation
had been received from the secretary
of the Association.
True it is that a majority of the
members of the Association must fav-
or the way in which the meetings are
conducted, or change would be made.
1t appears to us, however, that there

FAR AHEAD OF FORMER
GOVERNORS.

Recently the Governor failed TO re-
appoint Mr.. George Hill as a member
of the board of supervisors of the Lou
isiana State University. Personally
we regret this very much, as Mr.. Hill
is not only an able man but he and his
family are identified with the State
University by many interests, notably
through their great benefactions to
that institution, the Hill Memorial Ii
brary being an especially shining in
stance. We do not know why GOV.
Hall made the change but we are
mite ready to concede that he has
some rights of discretion in the prem
ises, and the people of Louisiana should
view the matter accordingly, For there
has been no governor Of Louisiana who
has made so few political" appoint
ments as he. There has been no for
mer governor OF this state who has
shown as great magnanimity to his
political opponents, forbearing from
disturbing in Office those who had
shown conspicuous ability in their
special lines of work, although some
of these men had been particularly &C
tive in the campaign against him. The
names of Col. Boyd, DR.. Pierson, DR.
Thomas, DR.. Bowling, Judge Lawra'
son, will most readily come to
mind in this connection, though
there are other less conspicuous ex
amples of Gov. Halls appreciation OF
merit, regardless of any personal atti
tude towards him in the past.
Therefore Gov. Hall should be allow
ed some liberty of choice, with every
presumption in his favor that he is
acting for what he considers the gen
eral good.
Certainly, in this connection, there
comes with a bad grace from certain
quarters the hue and cry of politics in
the schools" when there is less poll
tics in the schools, or at least, more
consistent effort is making to Danish
factional politics therefrom, than al
any time in the past eight years.

is too much of spirit of get-somethlng-
for.nothing among the members OF
the Association for it to fill the sphere
for which it should aspire. There
should be happy medium struck
somewhere which would provide for a
we'll balanced program of business and
pleasure. In recent years business,
professional and technical affairs have
been sacrificed to having good time
at the expense of the citizens of the
hostess city We recall one annual
meeting when some of the sessions
were held as far as sixty miles apart.
The meeting was held ostensibly at Bat
on Rouge, and one or two sessions
were actually held there. One session
was held on an oyercrowded steamboat,
another in Plaquemine, another on a
railroad train, and still another in an
Insane Asylum.
Besides the foregoing reasons, might
be cited the absence of fair libel law
At each meeting the committee ap'
pointed at the previous meeting to
draft suitable law for the protection
of the newspapers either reports nc
progress or does not report at all
Again, there is a continual howl among
members of the Association against
whatever printing bill that happens to
be on the statute books. They have nc
one to blame but themselves. Should
they agree on measure and push il
before the legislature it would become
law in short order.
Another evidence that the inside
is neglected at the annual meetings is
that a member of the Association re
Gently advertised certain articles Of
job printing far below the cost of &C
tual production.
A program, rightly balanced, should
appeal to all the craft, but one lopsid
ed, either way, will not be productive
of good results.
One of our objections against being
a member of the Association is the fac
that it makes itself the target of ever!
Ipress agent it can induce to come, an(
they all come. Take any body of pro
fessional men or manufacturers vol
may choose and you will not find an.
of them that will permit their time tt
be taken up and wasted in the way thu
Louisiana Press Association does. Tn,
lpress agents always get what they arr
after, which is usually free advertising
We have not had our liver or ou
milk of human kindness analysed
hence do not know whether they ar
normal or clabbered, respectively, O
not. Suffice it to say that, in the las
five years, we have built up the bes
country printing plant in Louisiana
the DonaldsonVille Chief and the ST
Helena Echo not excepted, and sal,
liver and said human kindness hav
not yet been turned down by the BAN
or supply houses.

Aiming to stop the onward march of
the cotton boil weevil, Senator Smith,
of South Carolina, suggests that the
Federal Government outline to the
farmers of the South certain territory
which must not be planted next year,

farmers for any financial losses by rea-
