KENNETH C KERR
 BECOMES PUBLISHER

Kenneth c. Kerr, formerly indus trial agent of the Copper River and Northwestern Railway and Alaska Steamship Company yesterday closed deal for the purchase of an interest in the Seattle Railway and Marine News, of which J. P. Parkinson is publisher. Kerr will become editor of the publication.
 During his three years residence in Seattle, Kerr has been largely instru- mental in obtaining the publication in Eastern newspapers and magazines of a large amount of material pertaining to Alaska. For many years he has been identified with transportation af- fairs, having published vast amount of matter in technical journals.
 In promoting industrial propositions he has been eminently successful and it was due to his efforts that the agri- cultural and mineral possibilities of Alaska were exploited at various fairs and carnivals held throughout the United States.
 He entered newspaper work at Washington, D. C., later migrating to Salt Lake. He will make his perma- nent home in Seattle.-Seattle Times.

WILL HEAD THEIR
 OWN COMPANIES

Stardom is beckoning vigorously to two young members of the Juvenile Bostonian Opera Company that are coming to Juneau next week, and II the substantially-founded hopes of that happy pair are realized next season will see one-and possibly two-at the head of 'her own" company in musi- cal comedy.
 The two threatened young artists are Thom Helen and Stubby Myling How formidable is the threat may be judged from the fact that team of CO., authors of international fame for sev- eral months past have been engaged in the building of pieces fitted to each Manager Lang has approved of the plans and has given his promise that if a satisfactory vehicle is offered he will back either or both productions,

taking-almost race between the two misses-because of a peculiar turn a story the authors were weaving for the first piece happened to take. They had started this with the intention of fitting" it to Miss Helen. Just then they happened to see performance in which Miss Myling used a fetching and particularly funny piece of business and right there the unfinished story stared on a new angle. The idea sug- gested by Miss Myings antics was just what was needed to fill out a big second act, and no one but person of Miss Myling's meager dimensions would be suitable for the main role.
 That was not very satisfactory news for Miss Helen but she was recon. ciled when it was proposed to aban- don all the first draft of the play, and use the two different roles, each of which was so happily suited to the in dividual talents, for entirely different pieces. For the sake of company peace that was happy adjudication Although Miss Helen and Miss My ling are dandy chums right now, if it came down to a proposition where stellar glorles waited for only one of them-well it's too far ahead now to figure any other way than that both of these pieces are sure to be hits.

GOALS
 TO ALASKA


 Seattle men acquainted with condi- tions in the Northern territory must have smiled bitterly when they read that the people of Alaska have been forced to import coal from distant Australia.
 With billions of tons of fuel-the estimates of the best informed are mere guess-lying untouched beneath her own sod, the Northland is com pelled to charter ships to transport fuel from the other hemisphere!
 And large part of this coal is for the United States revenue cutter ser vice! While Congress holds hearings and the interior department placidly continues manufacturing red tape, pub lie money is being expended for the purchase of foreign coal for use-of all places-in Alaska!
 This Australian coal will cost the United States Government from SIS to s2O per ton. Before Pinchot made the name of conservation a butt of ridicule, the Government could pur- chase a better grade of Alaska coal at $4 a ton.
 The difference between these two sums represents the difference be- tween Pinchotian conservation and the common.sense principles which open ed continent to development and made of this new republic the rich est country in the world.
 Carrying coals to Alaska! It would be as sensible to carry sand to the desert of Sahara or snowfall to the top of Mount Rainier.-Seattle Times

for the murder Of Herman Rosenthal

Becker says in the appellants brief
he is "a victim of the greatest con.

given chance for life. The effect Of
the ruling of the court made the trial

Monroe Policy is Commended.

London, England, Nov. 2S.-The
Thanksgiving dinner of the American
society last night was noteworthy be.
cause of the announcement of the
British governments's endorsement OF
the Monroe doctrine by Viscount Hal.
dane, Lord High Chancellor. Three
hundred and fifty American men and
women, with a large number Of Brit.
ish guests, were present.
Robert Fairbanks, president of the
society proposed "the king" and Lord
Haldan "the president of the Uunited
States"
Haldane said he recently returned
from visit to the United States, and
said he came back with deep sense
of the high ideals of the citizenship OF
the two countries"
Speaking of the Monroe doctrine. he
said the United States considered her.
self responsible for the liberties Of the
small nations of that hemisphere. He
could see what was in the mind Of the
president of that time and that the
responsibility rested with the United
States to obtain good government and
fair treatment for these countries.
1T is true indeed, high spirit and
a high aim have been brought into
the policy of the United States in
dealing with the adjacent countries
and it is because the president has
taken the attitude he has that I pro-
pose a good health to wilson, the
president, and Wilson, the man."

$500 per bushel is worth $1,000. It's
value In next years crop will be many
times greater than this-350 bushels
of seed corn will plant about 2,450

possesses stronger termination and
much earlier maturing qualities than
imported seed. This will mean a
