o.SHAUGHNESSY PLACED,

The Presidents appointment of Nel' son O'Shaughnessy, former secretary of legation at Mexico City, to act as extra secretary at Vienna during the war, will be generally approved, all though there will be a feeling that the man who so carefully handled the del icate situation with Huerta is entitled to greater recognition. So far, how ever as service to the government is concerned, the post to which he is now assigned will give ample oppor- tunity for the use of Mir. O'Shaugh' nessy's recognized ability. With the ordinary duties of our representatives abroad increased by the responsibility of looking after the affairs of the war ring nations that have entrusted their interests to the United States there is need for just such endorsements of our embassadies and legations by trained and tested diplomats. Nearly all of our representatives abroad are but novices, excepting Mir. Herrick, at Paris, and the assistance of attaches of experience will be welcomed and ad- visable.-Cordova Alaskan.

PRAISE FOR ROTH
 AND CR0SSLEY

In nominating R. F. Roth district attorney for the Fourth Division, Pres. ident Wilson acted wisely and it is quite certain that nobody can have a just reason for complaint. Mir. Roth is a resident of Fairbanks, lawyer who commands the respect of the community, and is a Democrat of un- doubted sinCereity.
 The office of district attorney is one that is not easily filled, for a good district attorney is one who will do his duty, regardless of friendships and social interests. He must be a man who will be guided solely by his in' stinct of justice, and it is to be cX' pected that Mir. Roth will meet those requirements, for he has good repu' tation in this city.
 As an Alaskan who is familiar with the needs of the people here and with local laws, much good can be expect ed from Mir. Roth's appointment But the success of a district attorney, or any other officer of the government for that matter, must depend largely upon the cooperation given him by the public and of the officials with whom he must work. It is quite safe to predict that Mir. Roth will receive the hearty support of the public in every effort he makes to improve the public welfare, and there is no req son to believe that he will not enjoy
The Alaska daily empire., 1914-10-08

the full cooperation of all other fed eral officials here.
 As for Mir. Crossley, the retiring dis trct attorney, The Citizen shares the undOubted regrets of the community that he is to leave Fairbanks. MT. Crossley's retirement is simply mat ter CT politics, and cannot reflect up. on his ability as an official. By vir. tue of custom, the Democrats were en. titled to fill tho appointive federal of- fices, and the fact that Mir. Crossley was not retired long ago, show that he stands high with the officials at Washington.
 During the six years that Mir. and Mrs. Crossley have lived in Fairbanks, they have taken an active interest in the welfare of the community, and there are few people who will so from here leaving behind them so many sincere friends as will tho retiring district attorney and his amiable wife.

ALASKA cANNERYMEN
 HOME FOR WINTER

Prominent officials and employees of the Alaska Pacific Fisheries, Operat' ing caneries at Yes Bay, Chumley and Chilkott,, returned south for the win ter on the steamer Humboldt, of the Humboldt Steamship company, arriv' ing in port last night-frO Southeast ern Alaska. The list included C. A, Burkhardt, president of the Fisheries company and Mrs. Burkhardt; D. A, Williams, of Portland, a heavy stock holder in the company, and Mrs. Will Hams: and Mrs. F. O. Burkhardt, wife of President Burkhardts brother who is in charge of the canncry at Chil' kott. Conrad Doyle. a Tacoma capi talist, who has summer home at Petersburg, has also returned for the winter.
 The vessel brought 14.O00 cases of canned salmon, 200 barrels of herring and fifty boxes of fresh halibut. She sails again for the North tonight with a full cargo and q good passenger list, Seattle Times.

CREDIT DUE TO
 WOODROW WILSON

Perhaps before this appears in print the Alaska Coal Leasing bill will have been signed by the president and be entered upon on statute books. But if not it will be law of the United States within day or two and the land in which there were no white men score of years ago will be the source of the coal supply for the navy of the nation in the west, for the building and operation of a govern. mcnt railroad and the people of AL aska will no longer be compelled to send to foreign countries for their fuel and pay three times what 1t is worth. The mining men will be able to operate without handing over the profits to the owners of British Col umbia coal holes and the passing of the law will have . similar effect as that which the pressing of an elec- tric button has when it is the signal for starting some great project.
 There are probably thousand men in the United States and Alaska who are anxious to have the people be- lieve that they themselves are due the credit for the opening of Alaska. There was one man here some time ago who actually declared that he was the man who did it. There are others, pub. lie and private individuals, who make the same modest boast, but the man whose name will be always associated in history with the opening of Alaska is no other than Woodrow Wilson. the great and wise president who has come to the leading place for the coun- try's good.
 It would be the least that Alaska could do now to join as one man in showing the president how his great work is appreciated by the people Of the Territory. Why not have this city begin the task of letting him know that we are not the men who were cleansed of disease and devils and yet forgot to come back and show their gratitude. All over the Terri tory the people should unite in one, loud. voice to tell that we know and that we joyously acknowledge that to him and to him alone the people of this Territory owe their redemption.
 How well all of us can remember the prophecies that Alaska would go back to the wilderness from which 1t came when the placer mining was ex- hausted. How sure were such indi- viduals that nothing remained for the people of Alaska but to grab few dollars and flee before the natives came to occupy the dwellings of the whites.
 But Providence does not open new lands just to let them fall back into gaping emptiness. Placer gold is oft en the bait cast to draw people in- to the wilderness that they might dis cover new resources. In Alaska the people have discovered those new re- sources. President Wilson has sup piled the open sesame and Alaska has begun the march to proud state hood.-Cordova Alaskan.

.BUNNELL GETS
 BIG RECEPTION

Here, in the home city of his chief opponent, Charles D. Bunnell, Demo. cratic nominee, for delegate to con gross from Alaska, has been accorded a welcome that Mir Wickersham might we'll envy. The way in which Mir. Bun nell was received here Is probably the most encouraging feature of the cam paign to- date for he came to Fair banks with the knowledge that he was entering the enemy's territory, and in- stead of antagonism he found here friendliness and good will.
 Mir. Bunnell has indicated that he is not one of the cheap class of poli- ticians who attempt to promote their own interests by blackening the char acters of their opponents. His criti- cisms of Mir. WiCkersham are digni- fled, and arc limited to official acts, and are not bclittling personalities.
 Before Mir. Bunnell came here. 1t was known that wherever he went he was drawing tho divergent Demo. cratic factions together. As far as can be learned, there is no truly Dem. Ucratic element that is not heartily supporting Mir. ,Bunnell in his cam paign.
 Mir Bunncll is the only candidate for the position of Delegate to Con gross pledged to support a platform prepared by representative people of Alaska. If he Is sent to Congress, which now seems very probable, he will be backed by the Democratic ad- ministration in Washington, and will work out the plans prepared by the only important convention held in Al aska this year.
 People may differ in regard to some of the minor features of the local Democratic platform, but on the whole it must be confessed that it is pro. gressive throughout. In addition to that platform, Mir. Bunnell has outlin- ed policies of his own, which will ap- peal to all classes of people in this Territory.
 Long before he was urged to become a candidate for Delegate to Congress Mir. Bunnell worked out a plan, that if it is ever adopted will be sure to prove a blessing to Alaska miners.
 This plan consists of a new law winch will place the granting of min ing titles in the hands of courts of competent jurisdiction. According to lt. a man who records mining claim will be permitted to gain title to it at any time after he has done $500 worth of assessment work and has demonstrated to the satisfaction of a court that he has been operating in good faith.
 Such a law will mean that min CTS will not have to go, at great eX- pense, to distant land offices. and wait for indefinite periods for the slow pro- cess of departmental rcd tape at Wash jngton. It will mean convenience and economy for the miners. and thus the encouragement of tho mining industry in Alaska. or wherever the law is made to apply.-Fairbank Citizen.

METLAKAHTLA SCHOOL
 PLANS ARE APPROVED

Plans for a modern school building to cost Approximately $1O,O00, which Is to be built by the government at Metlakahtla, have been approved by Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane, and construction work is ex' pected to begin within a short time, according to information received yes. terday at the local office of the Alas. ka bureau of education. The building, when completed will be the finest in the Alaska school system, says the Sc. attle Times.
 Every convenience of modern and up.to.datc school building will be in. stalled in the Matlakahtla structure. Facilities for instruction along the most advanced lines of education will be provided, including equipment for physical recreation and industrial training. Special attention will be given to the problems of light and san itation.
 The building will be two stories in height On the second floor a capac- ious gymnasium will be set off and fully equipped with suitable apparat. us. Adjoining the gympasium will be dressing rooms, shower baths, and a medical clinic where injuries will be treated. Several class rooms will also be found on the second floor.
 On the first floor, the quarters of the manuel training departments will be fitted up. This will include ma chine shops, wood working machin- cry and other accessories to the cours' es of study in the department The domestic science rooms, class rooms for the more sedentary branches Of education, offices of the principal of the school and other facilities will also be found on the first floor.
 Natives to Build School.
 A lot has been reserved for the school grounds and building. Although the method of construction has not been officially announced, it is beliey- ed that most of the work will be done by native labor, thus furnishing em- ployment to the men of Metlakahtla during the season when the canneries are idle and there is little work for them to do. It is expected that the construction work will begin as soon as the men return from the canner- ies for the winter season. The build ing will probably be ready for occu' pancy by the time school opens in the fall of 1915
 At the present time, according to reports received in Seattle from C. D. Jones, the principal of the Metlakah- tia school, there are eighty-five pu- pills enrolled. These are mostly small children, youngsters not yet big enough to work in the canneries. When the cannery season has ended and the older children on the island are at liberty to pursue the paths of knowl- edge. it is expected that 250 pupils will be enrolled
 There are now four teachers em- ployed in the Metlakahtla school and Principal Jones has asked the govern ment to assign a fifth to the work, claiming that there are more pupils enrolled than can properly be handl- ed by a teaching staff of four mem- bers.

INDIAN DIES AT
 1oS YEARS OF AGE

George Clafwha, or Old George, as he was known to hundreds of pioneers of' the Puget Sound country, is dead ct SuQuamish. His friends say that he was 10S years old.
 Clafwha was a famous character among the Indians at Squamish, be- ing nephew of Chief Seattle. He was the last of the original tribe which dwelt at Port Madison before it was made a reservation.
 Chafwah was roaming over the Pu get sound country hunting and fishing many years before the first white set tier built his cabin on the present site of Charlottesville Post Intelli' gencer.
