CAPE GODS CANAL
 BEING OVERLOOKED

While the world has watched with intesnse interest the great work Of cutting the Panama Canal across the Isthmus, comparatively little has been said about the Cape Cod Canal. which will be officially opened tomorrow. Yet the canal across the Cape Cod penin- sula may even compare with the great canal at Panama in point of traffic.
 It is estimated, for instance, that the Panama Canal will have, at least in It's initial stages. only tonnage of 1O,6OO.0O that of Suez in 1912 was 2O.275, 900 net tons, while the freight annually passing around Cape Cod, and practically all of which may be ex- pected to use the canal, is more than twice the estimate for Panama, and is even greater than that at Suez.
 That there will be a strong induce ment to have all freight now shipped around Cape Cod sent through the ca nal is readily seen when it is stated that more than 2,O0o ships and between 600 and 700 lives have been lost in the stormy passages around the Cape. By means of the canal this long and dan gerous passage round Cape Cod will be transferred to a short and safe one of the few miles lying between Buz- zard's Bay and Cape Cod Bay, an im- mense saving in time and distance, with a complete elimination of the perils which for more than 200 years have been the dread of sailors.
 Why an enterprise of such obvious utility and humanity has waited so long for accomplishment can only be explained by the force of custom. Had the United States government been farsighted, the Cape Cod Canal would long ago have been dug as part of a coastal system whose importance in coast defense and protection has been recognized but lost as an urgent issue by our immunity of a hundred years from invasion.-New York World.

PRAISE FOR THE
 DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

As everyone expected the Democrat ic convention at Skagway came out again for the appointment of Alaskans to Alaskan positions.
 This policy is one that should be sup ported by people of all parties in the territory. Even honest pride ought to be enough to make us resent the idea of sending men here to admin. ister our affairs. We have people in Alaska who are perfectly capable of filling all the positions and in spite of the fact that the present administra- tion has performed great services for the Territory 1t is felt as a sort of personal slight to get turned down for outsiders.
 It hardly seems likely that a law yer appointed from outside to the Alas ka bench could know as much about the conditions as a lawyer who has lived several years here and knows all about the various workings of the min ing laws and others.
 Some of the appointees from the out Side have actually brought in their as- sistants and it must be mighty hard on men who have given their best years to the Territory to be compelled. to continue to take chances while strang- CTS grab the snaps.-Seward Gateway.

WASHINGTON STILL
 HAS FUN WITH 30

Stepping right into the front rank of an administration in Washington that is adorned with such given names as Woodrow and Josephus, and Frank lin, and Lindley, and-we had almost forgotten-Cato, it is no wonder that the new assistant Secretary of the In- terior gave newspaper men and others who have their abiding places in ho- tel Hobbies a shock when he inscribed on the register "Bo Sweeney, Wash ington," meaning the State. Timid in- quiries as to whether the new arrivals name unabbreviated was Beau, Boaz or Bonaparte, and diplomatic insinua- tlons that something ought to be add. ed to Bo to make the name fit a place so near the cabinet, brought the em- phatic explanation from it's owner that he had written it Bo and it was going to stay Bo, because 1t is the name giv- en him by his parents and his god fathers and his godmothers. A per fectly valid reason, and, therefore, Washington greets Hon. Bo Sweeney, assistant Secretary of the Interior. Welcome, thrice welcome, Bo. The name becomes an American classic, May 1t not, possibly, grace the cabinet itself before the government changes; and after that-well, who knows? - Washington Herald.

WAR HARMLESS
 TO ALASKA

General Manager B. l.. Thane, or the Alaska Gastineau Mining com pany, thinks that there is nothing in the conditions created by the European war that should cause concern among Alaskans. Material conditions here he thinks are sound. even though there may be Q stacking up in develop ment temporarily. "so fur as the Al aska Gastineau Mining company is concerned" he said. "the work will continue just as outlined and the mills will be finished on time. There will be no cessation of the work at Ken sington either. Everything will move along just as planned"
 While the European war has caused a biz drop in the prices of copper the markets of that continent being closed and resulting reduction in the copper production of the United States, Mir. Thane does not think that Alaska will materially suffer by 1t to any great extent. All told perhaps 10000 miners engaged in the production of copper have been temporarily laid off, but all of the Jackling mines will con. tlnue to operate on reduced schedules until normal conditions return.
 Alaska, northern British Columbia and Yukon Territory are becoming factors in copper production. The Sulzer properties, and other mines in the Ketchikan district have been ship ping and are preparing to ship. The Guggenheim mines in the Copper Riv- CT district and those at Whitehorse and Portland canal districts of Cana da have been steady producers. Many people have begun to think about the effect that the European war may have on these properties and the in- dustrial centers they have created.
 President O. L. Dickeson, of the White Pass, is quoted by Senator J. NJ. Tanner, of Slagway, as saying that he Is trying to make arrange ments that will permit the whitehorse mines to continue shipping until fall at least.

 T. J. PATTERSON

Almost recovered from injuries he received in the Grand Trunk dock fire when he escaped by dropping from a second story window, T. J. Patterson of the Alaska Barge company was able to be about yesterday for the first time since the conHagaration. He was confined to bed in his apartments in the hotel Frye for eight days.
 When he dropped from the window he landed with such force on the dock that he was unconscious for nearly an hour. He was discovered lying in the smoke and flame by T, E, Geary, the naval architect. He is still suffering to some extent from bruises.
 Mir. Patterson is one of the best-lik- ed men on the waterfront and friends crowded about him yesterday when he appeared on the docks. = Seattle Times, Aug, Il.
