CHENA TOWNSHIP
 MAY BE REVOKED

Through the local land office the town of Cinema has been notified that it must show cause why it's survey shall not be revoked by the govern ment This is taken to mean that only those people who are actually occupying land in Cinema will be given title to their lots.
 In the days when the town of Cinema was prosperous it was sur veyed as a townsite. and a trustee for it was appointed by the govern ment. Then the town lost popula- ton and at last. so it is asserted. the trustee wrote to the government that it was useless for him to con tinue in office, for the town was
 Whether it was due to such a report from the trustee of Cinema or to the desire of the government to establish new townsite there when the railroad work is started is not fully understood here.
 Several sections of land in the vicinity of Cinema were withdrawn by the government from entry soon after the construction of the new railroad was authorized The pur. pose of the withdrawal, so it was stated, was to prevent investors from getting the land for speculative purposes.
 It is believed here ttat those peo- pie of Cinema who have continued to make use Of their lots will re ceive title to them even if the sur vey is revoked.

SENATOR TOM MCGOWAN.

Of the various men who are seek ing the Democratic nomination for Territorial senator from this divi- sion, Tom McGowan is almost cer- tain to be the one selected at the coming convention.
 There are many reasons why MT. McGowan should be named for the place First of all. there is no man in the division more familiar with the needs of this district than he and, second, there is no other man seeking the office who is as capable of securing for his district needed legislation as is MT. Me Gowan.
 In sending men to the Territorial legislature. care should be taken to select those who are most familiar with Alaska's laws and their weak points. As practicing lawyer ot many years experience in the North. MT McGowan is eminently fitted to JuuSe Ol lne leSlSldtlNe ueeuS OI the Territory, as well as to look out for the special interests of h. terior Alaska.
 IL is desirable that both houses of the Alaska legislature should be made up of Democrats. for a Demo cratic legislature will be sure to work in harmony with the authori- ties at Washington. Thus the man selected as candidate for Terri torial senator on the Democratic ticket should be strong enough to win out against those who will run as independents, or on other tickets.
 Undoubtedly Tom McGowan is the best vote -getter among those who will aspire for the nomination, and his selection for the position by the convention is certain to increase the certainty of a Demo cratic victory.
 Tom McGowan is not only an ex- perienced lawyer familiar with the legislative needs of the Territory but he is a good diplomat, good talker, a good mixer among men, and would be one of the most in- fluential members of the legislature If he is selected as member.

WHOSE WAR IS THIS?

There is a growing feeling every, where in the United States that the war in Europe may result in such a reaction in public sentiment against wars, that an indefinite in ternational peace may be assured for the future. Certainly it would seem that with the broader and more complete education that is be- ing enjoyed by all classes of people in the civilized world today, the people themselves would find some way to counterbalance the ambi- tions of rulers to make war for selfish purposes.
 It is not usually a hard task to get two excited men into a fight with each other by automatically appeal ing to their emotional natures, and in just the same way, 1t is possible to stir nation of people to a war heat by arousing their racial or patriotic emotions.
 If the United States could keep at its head at all times such a level-headed man as President Will son, it Is quite certain that it would be long time between wars in this country Wilson's ability to keep out of the Mexican trouble in spite of all the criticism heaped upon him by those excitable people who wanted war, has saved to the United States thousands of lives and much money.
 One of President Wilson's most active critics on the Pacific coast has been the Portland Oregonian. which Is devoting its energies to the upbuilding of the Republican party. And. yet. it is interesting to note how the Oregonian compliments President Wilson's policy since the European war started. The follow ing Is taken from an editorial in that newspaper of August 6:
 "The Presidents temper is for peace: his spirit is conciliatory; his attitude is wholly neutral: and he is supported by a nation that earn estly desires that justice be done to each of the warning countries, but that the far greater service to hu- manity be done of restoring the peaceful equilibrium of civilization through effective measures to avert the dreadful calamity of general war.
 President Wilson can have no nobler design than to realize the dream of the prophet: They shall beat their swords into ploughshares. and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against any nation. neither shall they learn war any more.'"
 That the sentiment against war Is

THE SHIPPING BILL.

When the European war started there were but few trans-oceanic ships flying the American flag, but now that the law has been changed 10 permit foreign vessels to get American registry without any form al waiting, it is certain that war conditions will increase our mer- chant marine wonderfully.
 The great trouble in the past has been the low wages paid foreign sailors, which permitted foreign ship owners to carry cargoes in their vessels much cheaper than American ship owners who have been com pelled to pay the advanced wages demanded by American seamen. As soon as the war started. all merchant vessels flying the flags of the nations at war were subject to capture by the other warning nations. and thus the owners could not send them abroad without seri ous danger of loss. The American flag, however, insured safety to any vessel, and naturally the ship own CTS turned toward our country for protection.
 The American laws provided that ships of foreign bottoms could not
 be transferred to the American flag within a period of about five years after they came under the owner ship of Americans. This was to prevent foreign ship builders from competing with American ship build CTS in the construction of American vessels.
 Now, however, new condition has arisen, as far as the United
 States is concerned. There are shploads of American products that are not needed here. but for which there is great demand beyond the ocean. These products should be sold and the money brought to our country, but there is no way to ship llcLl Sdlcly dOi IL Wdo AoI tHIH reason that congress passed the new shipping bill as an emergency mea- sure. permitting foreign ships to be- come American. provided their chief owners are American citizens. Representative James R. Mann. of illinois. speaking in favor of the shipping bill. on the floor of the house, on August 3. said in part:
 Here is an emergency which We all recognize. It is idle to say we would not do this under normal conditions, because we do not have normal conditions We want to send abroad our produce and our manufactures. We can only do 1t, if this war occurs. in vessels flying the American flag. We can not build them in time to meet the emergency. We can not send our stuff abroad unless we own them. Other people have them who want to sell. Will we buy? It is to our financial interest to make the mon- ey which is made out of the carrying trade. It is to the interest of our country to sell our produce abroad. Both interests join in favor of giving the American citizen and American capital the opportunity which the world has offered to enrich our own country and protect our own people

 MINING EXPERTS

Accompanied by some mining eX perts who will look over prospects throughout Interior Alaska this fall and coming winter, Leroy Tozier the well-known attorney, arrived in Fairbanks early last week.
 The mining experts accompany ing Mr. Tozier are: w. B. liar graves, M w. Nolan. K. Haman and J. J. Sherry. Colonel R. w. Stevenson started also to come in here with the party. but was recall ed to New York when at Dawson.
 Just what prospects will be in- 6pected by the experts is not known at present. but it is expected that they will remain here indefinitely looking into the most promising properties. They are here in the interest of some New York capital ists, and each of the experts is a specialist in his own line of work.
 MT. Tozier will probably remain here until sometime after the win ter holidays He was due to be in Germany on matter of businesss in February, but the war there has made this quite impossible.
 Before coming to Fairbanks MT. Tozier and the mining experts wis ted various other parts of the North They looked over the Sheep creek mine near Juneau, then went to some Canadian properties and stopped at Dawson little while Ito inspect the mines there.

TO ENFORCE ORDINANCE.

Ordinances requiring all street signs to have electric lights and providing for bicycle riders to keep off the sidewalks are to be enforc- ed. This was the decision reached at the meeting of the council last Monday night Councilmen Nerland and Callahan objected to the neces- sity of electric lights in signs, but the other members of the council opposed them.

 SOMEBODY said a few days ago that the Fairbanks ferry is be- ing overworked this summer. But even the ferry is not as much overtaved as are the pocketbooks of the people who must use it every day.
 SWISS goats are being sent to Sitka for dairy purposes. It is just as well. probably, that they are not being imported to Fairbanks, for our pure milk ccusades have been too complicated with only ordinary cows involved We haven't lost any goats. IN few days the children of Fairbanks must turn from the pleasures of berry-picking. picnics and other enjoyments of outdoor life to the school room. But even SO, the change will probably not be disagreeable to the average boy or girl
 IT is probable that within a few months the people of Fairbanks who are as far removed from the Flu ropean war as almost anyone in the world, will be seeing some of the most interesting battles fought there. It is said that moving pictures are being taken of the most exciting engagements.
 PEOPLE on the north side of the slough have been taxed on three different occasions this year for bridge repairs, the taxes being col lected in ferry fees. It is about time the businessmen of Fairbanks, who really receive the financial benefit from the bridge. pay their share of the expenses.
 TT Is to be regretted that the weather has been such this summer as to interfere with the bringing of mail over the trail in the govern ment automobile. However. the ability of other automobiles to make the trip successfully at various times is proof that regular service can be maintained next summer.
 ACCORDING to Outside papers, 1t seems that many senators and congressman are breaking their hearts because they are not per mitted to take a vacation this sum- mer. The working people of the land who get very little time to rest while they draw salaries will not be inclined to give the poor" lawmakers much sympathy. EMPEROR WILLIAM of Germany is reported to have conferred spe- cial honors on two princes for their services in the fighting in Belgium. The men who suffered the real hard ships and were in the most danger seem to have been overlooked. And all such nonsense does not inspire the ordinary citizen with the idea that monarchies are just forms of government.

SIGN LAW IS UNJUST.

There is much just complaint among the businessmen of Fair banks concerning the enforcement of an old ordinance requiring all signs across the sidewalks to be provided with electric lights. There is a sentiment that the ordinance will be of benefit only to the N. C. Company, which provides the city with electricity.
 Probably the city would look more business-like with many electric signs, but 1t should be left to the individual business man to deter mine If he wants such sign. Some of the councilmen have as serted that the ordinance does not mean that the lights must be light ed out of business hours, but, even SO, during the winter months much of the business is done after night fall, and the expense is too much for the good that can result from it. It is not to be wondered at that some of the businessmen are removing their signs. rather than be forced to pay such an expense.
