VESSEL LANDED ON
REEF AT EAST PASS
T. r. Hodges, State Shell
Fish Commissioner, Was
Aboard Vessel And Says
It SeemNd She Would Be
Wrecked In Breakers, But
Finally Succeeded In Get
ting Back Into Gulf.

After a narrowing experience In the
gulf during a storm, Shell Fish Com
missioner T. r. Hodges arrived in port
yesterday afternoon on board the My
erdale, the official boat Of the shell fish
commissioner, having left Panama City
Sunday He comes to Pensacola TO
inspect the oyster industry and to ar
range for the leasing OF large tracts
OF water bottoms for the culture OF
oysters in Escambia and Santa Rosa
counties, several applications being on
file from prominent citizens of Pen
sacola, Milton, Bagdad and other
points along the oyster territory. Com
missioner Hodges will be in Pensacola
during the week and will be pleased
TO confer with anyone that may wish
to file an appl8ca for lease of water
Bottoms.
The Myerdale had a very rough voy-
age over from Panama City and came
very near being lost Sunday night on
the shoals Of Norrfego Point, at the
entrance of East Pass. In speaking
OF his experience Commissioner Hodges
said
ENCOUNTERED ROUGH WEATHER
1--WE left Panama City yesterday
morning for Pensacola and in making
the run from Panama City to East
Pass encountered some very rough
weather as q heavy southeaster blew
up during the morning and continued
to increase in velocity until ii was
y blowing a gale and the seas We're rla-
ning very high, but our boat made very
good headway and made the trip of Is
miles to the pass by dark The chan
rel at AEast Pass has shifted somewhat
ankf~$fe lights are slightly out of range
with the channel and in attempting to
run the very narrow channel after
dark our ship landed on the reef and
the surf began to roll over us. our
two boats in tow, one launch and row
boat, we're thrown underneath the
stern of our boat and with difficulty we
managed to cut them loose in order
to keep tnsnn from sinking. The row
boat went adrift and also the launch
Catherine. but Capt. Raulerson plung-
ed into the surf and boarded the
launch, which was in q sinking condt-
ton.
TN the meantime the heavy roll of
surf had washed the Myerdale over
the reef into a depth of water that
fioated her and both anchors were put
over, but the heavy swell would let
her down so as 10 strike the bottom
every few minutes. I knew she could
not stand this fearful pounding, and
determined TO make one more effort to
save her by taking her back TO sea
through strip of water that the
heavy sea was not breaking over. Just
at this juncture or.e Of the heavy an
cnor chains parted and we had no
chance but to start the engine and go
to sea, which we did and brought the
ship into safety without practically
any loss"
Mr.. Hodges in describing the scene,
says that words are inadequate to pic
ture the tragic position in which they
were placed. The boat seemed doomed
20 destruction, with waves rolling over
her bow, the violent rolling of the lit
tie ship, causing the big brass fog bell

SCHOOLS ARE DEFECTIVE.

There is growing feeling that here is something wrong with our modern educational system and that it is not worth the vast amount that is annually spent on it.
 While it is true that in some ways our modern method of instruction is far superior to that of past times, it is also true, as anyone will ob- serve by careful study of condi- tions, that not enough attention is given to the primary studies, upon which the whole after structure mus, rest
 In their effort to introduce new ideas into school work, the average board of education enlarges the field of study, thus taking away from the small child his opportuni- ty to study fundamental things while he is pursuing so-called culture studies, for which his mind is not properly prepared.
 The child raised in the country where the schools have not so many will make better progress when he reaches college than does

GOLD OUTPUT DECREASES.

Alaskas gold output fell off last year to total of $12,252,942 as compared with the output of the year previous of $16,031, ,705, according to toms of Alaska, just received from Juneau
 This falling off in the gold produc ton of the territory is the result Of the working out of the richest pay streaks in the placer districts, and steady decline in the placer work is promised until railroad transporta- tion is provided to make possible the working of the less profitable ground.
 Under the present conditions in Interior Alaska, only the richest ground can be worked at profit, because of the expensive freight tolls on supplies. The most experienced miners declare that throughout Al aska there is almost an unlimited amount of gold to be obtained, if it can be mined at a lower cost than at present.
 The building of railroad will make it possible to ship in machinery and supplies here at a greatly re- duced price and it is expected that much of the land now unprofitable for mining purposes will then be worked.
 In deciding the railroad question for Alaska, the one great argument was that the United States had to act now if she wanted to utilize Alaska, and if no railroad was to be built, then the territory may as well be abandoned. When the railroad is once in operation it is safe to predict that the gold exports from the territory will show noticeable increase.

FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD.
THE CITIZEN BIRTHDAY.

With this issue The Citizen com menCes it's fifth year of existence The occasion is one of much grat ffcation to its owner. for The Citize, has been recognized for some time 3: he best newspaper ill Alaska, repu tation that was secured as the resul of much constant effort
 The success of The Citizen up tC the present time has prompted its management 70 arrange for a numbel of improvements, each of which vii take form in due time, and it is con fidently expected that within a year the paper will have attained even 8 higher standard of excellence thar it enjoys at present.
 One of the secrets of the success of The Citizen is the realization oI the part of it's owner that a news paper, like any other article, must have merit in order to promote 5 demand for it. The law of the 'sur vival of the tittest" applies to news papers as much as it does to the animal kingdom The best newspape, gets the most subscribers, and th5 newspapers with the mos. subscrib CTS get the best advertising, for the advertiser pays in accordance with the number of people that his ad- vertisements can reach.
 The Citizen is on a good paying basis, and the future policy of the paper, as in the past. will be to use it's profits in building up and i'm proving it.
 The Citizen is a new spaper of al the people and as such 1t soliclts their aid in making improvements Any criticism of the manner in which The Citizen is being conducted, or any suggestions for its improvement, will be received with much appreciation bv it's management.
 One of the chief duties of news paper is to work constantly for the building up of the community of which it is a part-of which It should be vital part-and that duty can only be accomplished success fully by the hearty cooperation Of its readers. The chief ambition O. this newspaper is to be worthy at all times of the respect and confidence of the people of Fairbanks and the surrounding Territory.

ALASKA'S SEVEN TRAITORS.

Alaska has many things of which she can justly be proud but she has some things-to be exact they are about seven in number-of whict she must feel sense of humiliation and deep shame These seven things, which are now so many bot, on the good name of the Territory are the seven senators who were traitors to the common good of the Territory when they used their of ficial position in an effort to defea the construction of the railroad by the government.
 The breach of trust of which these men are guilty is next to treason in is seriousness, for what the senators really tried to do was to turn the Territory of Alaska over 10 is enc mics. the moncyel interests tha' have so long been the enemies 0i progress
 The construction of a railroad by the government in Alaska will affect directly and indirectly the most i'm. portant money powers of the United States. In direct way it will break the transportation trust that has been controlling the Territory in the past, and will also interfere with the interests that had planned 10 monopolize the railways that win tap the coal beds and the other rich mineral sections.
 But the indirect effect of the rail road will have a far wider scope when it comes to mOneyed interests. The stockholders and officials of the big railroad systems of the country realize that if the government makes a success of railroad ownership in Alaska, it will ultimately mean the ownership of the leading roads Of the United States and the fall of the railroad gang. This is where the op- position to the government roads really has it's source, and every eff fort must have been made by these financial powers to thwart the gov crnmeHt ownership plan.
 When the Alaska senators sent letters to Secretary Lane informing him that the people of Alaska were not favorable to government rail- road, they knew that they were lying and that they were playing into the hands of the big transportation in terests. What was the real motive behind their contemptible trick can only be guessed.

CELEBRATION BENEFICIAL.

Experience gives people self-con- fidence, and the celebration of last Monday will have the effect of giving the people of Fairbanks self-confi- successful celebrations in the future. Incidentally, too, the carnival has taught the city a few important les sons,
 Many celebrations fail because they lack variety, which is the essence of a jollification, Novelty is always source of interest, and that ac- counts in a large measure for the success of the railroad celebration.
 It will not be long until plans for a midnight celebration for June 21 and for July will begin to mature. In making plans for these celebrations it will be well to bear in mind the advantages of giving them much broader scope than in the past.
 It has been suggested that the June and July celebrations be com bined into one big affair that will have the carnival spirit, such as did the railroad celebration.
 In the past the programs have been somewhat limited and in many ways tame They have lacked the life of the Mardi Gras or carnival which gives any celebration its chief at traction.
 If preparations are begun early for one general celebration for the sum- mer season, and the plans are made known to the people of the creeks, there is no reason why Fairbanks should not gain reputation for its genial hospitality that will at tract people here each year from long distances,

NOYES' TRICkERY.

In this world of selfishness and greed, where wealth and questionable trickery of smooth politicians domi- nate so many newspapers, there is but little chance for the poor man. Examples of this condition is pre- scented every day in every community and is being presented right now in Fairbanks, where two newspapers are taking up the fight for Receiver Moves of the Washington Alaska bank. one paper, the Times, being owned by him.
 The resourcefulness of a politician of the stripe of Moves would be in teresting if it were not so repugnant 70 good taste. To those who are ia miliar with the situation, his crafti- ness is seen between the lines in the editorial published in the News Miner, which is a boost for Moves, while it pretends to be impartial.
 Some understanding of the News AAASi OuilOi idi Soh pC when it is realized that the editor of that paper has been favored by Moves. It happened that the editor of the News-Miner was indebted to the Washington-Alaska bank at the time of its failure, and it became the duty of the receiver to collect the amount due. To have forced the editor, who is also heavily interested in the paper in a financial way, to pay his dues in cash would have been hardship on the latter
 So it came about that while the receiver was selling the last bit of property from the poor men, to satis- fly the obligations due the bank, the editor of the News Miner was per mitted to pay his indebtedness in ad- vertising for the defunct institution.
 In its editorial few days ago. the News-Miner says that it is not taking sides in the fight over Re ceiver Moves that is being carried on between the Times and The Citizen but much of the same editorial is spent in shedding halo over the head of Moves. It infers that Moves "a conservative businessman who

HUNTERS ADVICE GOOD.

One of the best pieces of advice ever given philanthropic organiza ton was the suggestion made by the Rev. George McPherson Hunter to the Women's Titanic Memorial as soCiation. Mir Hunter suggests that instead of spending a large amount of money in the construction of a marble monument to the memory of the victims of the Titanic disaster they should use the money for the construction of seamen's homes in American seaports.
 The ordinary memorial shaft is of but little good to the world un. less it has within itself some features of special interest apart from the purpose for which it is created. Ts- pecially is this true in regard to the heroes of the Titanic disaster. for their courage will be made a part 0f American history and as such will be studied long after a marble slab would have been removed to make room for some later fad for society
 In addition to the mere fact tha. it's purpose is to keep fresh the mem ory of worthy heroes, the fund would serve another and equally as good purpose if spent in the cause of hu manity.
 As people become more civilized they will probably get further from
 he custom of erecting useless orna- ments as a mark of appreciation for the acts of departed people, and will instead find more useful ways for gaining the same end. This has been done in many instances with marked success, one of the more notable being the establishment of the Leland Stanford, Jr university by MT. and Mrs Leland Stanford in memory of their departed son, Le land Stanford. Jr
 If the Stanford millions had been spent in the erection of a gi gantic memorial monument, nobody would have been personally benefit ed. and the little boys memory would not have been so deeply impressed upon the world as it has been by the endowment of one of the best educational institutions in the country.
 In ancient Rome, monumental arch es were erected in memory of the deeds of heroes, and soon that habit went so far that worthless politicians who gained power through trckery or crime practically forced the senate to declare their divinity and to cause the erection of some knd of monu- ment to impress the people with heir faked greatness.
 The ancient Egyptians also had the habit of erecting monuments. or monumental tombs, but aside from their historic value they are useless. The same money spent in the ad- vancement of humanity would have served far better purpose.

Many of the sensational newspapers of the United States have been blaming President Wilson for failure to interfere in the revolution that is being carried on in Mexico, their charge being that American citizens are in danger of losing their lives there.
