DRUM ExPLODES
 BOY IS HURT

The little son of Mir. and Mrs.
 Walter Waters was brought in from Holbrook last Monday night for medical treatment having been seriously injured
 in an explosion of a water tank in which water was being heat
 ed to melt some tar to be used to tar the fish nets. Early Monday morning the men start ed to get their tank ready to melt some tar and having made a boiler out of an old oil drum they built a fire under it and
 then went away and left it.. Little James Waters and Lloyd Candens started to play some
 fifty feet away from the boiler and had been there possibly a half hour when there was an explosion and the whole top of the drum was blown off and a piece of it fell striking James Waters on the head, cutting it open for about seven inches. The boy was placed on the Glenora and brought to Wran- gell as soon as possible where he was placed in the Wrangell Hospital under the care of Dr. Daws. Lloyd Candens escaped with only a few scratches but James Waters will be laid up in the hospital for some time. Mrs. Waters is staying at tl.e hospital with her son. and ac- cordlng to Dr. Daws, he is pro- gressing as we'll as could be expected. .-Wrangell Sentinel.

SHORTAGE OF CANDIDATES

With the election for dele gate but a little less than four months away, there are but two candidates in the field, and there is considerable rum or in political circles that there will be no other names on the official ballot next fall. Rumor has it that a number of the more prominent politicians of the Republican and Democrat ic ranks are anxious to endorse the candidacy of Jack Brooks, who was nominated last fall by the Socialist party.
 Whether or not such com binatien could or would be af- fected cannot be learned or determined at this time, but if is certain that there has been considerable talk of it during the last few days, and it is known that some of the mem bers of both parties are an- xious to see only these two men in the race.
 According to a statement made by prominent Democrat 1t is hoped that by endorsing Brooks lie could receive the solid Socialist vote, which wae a big item in the last election the greater part of the Repub- lican strength, and the major 1 ity of the Democrats. It is fig ured that with this combination the present delegate could no be reelected.
 At least two other names have been mentioned for the Democratic nomination, and i Is also stated that there is an ether dark horse who may ap- pear at the time of the prim- aries, or afterward. .-Fairbank: Times.

If man is dishonest. no laws will force him to be other wise. Persistency in teaching him alone can ever hope to have any effect. There are some in Alaska who criticise our jury system; blaming in numerous instances the Offic- ials for some verdicts that ap pear to be contrary to justice. Those critics want some law enacted that will prevent dis honest or professional jurymen from acting as such, and all that. Dishonesty in a juror is unavoidable as far as that is concerned, because it is i'm possible to pry into the inner man and find out whether he is really honest or only pre- tending. As to the "profes- sional" part of the argument find no valid objections. A man we find no valid objections A man may as well be profession al juryman, provided he is hon est as being a professional i'll any other business. A man is called upon to serve as a juror; he is sworn to do justice between the contending par ties. It is mp to him to do justice. So, what does it mat ter whether he serves as juror every day of his life so long as he renders justice. Manifestly an honest verdict by a jury rests with the jurymen themselves, but no law shall ever change contrary tendencies, although teaching and examples might. -Petersburg Progressive.

ADVOCATES TRAPS
 INSTEAD OF SHINES

Dr. Jones, head of the govern ment fish Investigations in AL aska takes a somewhat differ ent view of the trap question than is general in Alaska, and advances in support of his theory arguments that are diff iicult to combat. He favors the use of traps for catching salmon rather than seineS. stating that far more loss is oceasioned by that method than by the former. In the case Of trap fishing, he says. the fish are taken alive from the traps when wanted and rushed at once to the canner- les,whlle with the seine fishiI4g many Of the salmon are dead when taken from the water and spoil before they reach the cannery. Thus, of the two methods of fishing he advocates the trap, unless the seining grounds are in close proximity to the cannery, and the fish can be used before they have a,l opportunity to spoil.

That the attention called to Alaska in recent years by the clamor for legislation to open up the country and the pub- licity attending the passage of the Alaska railroad bill will be the means of making the coast mountains from Ketchikan to Unga one long chain of valu- able low grade quartz mines, is the opinion of Herman L. Men gal, mining man of Valdez. "There are illimitable quartz deposits all along the South eastern and Southwestern Al aska coast,n said Mengal re gently. And the only reason that they hace never been de- veloped is that they demand a large outlay of capital and un- til recently big capital has not been interested in the propo- sition. It is beginning to take notice now. and this interest will grow rapidly. Juneau is an example of what can be done by development work. l believe there are many quartz properties along the coast as yet unstaked even, that by the proper development could be brought to rival those around Juneau in profit. The quartz mines that will be developed will no doabt insure the per menence Of prosperity and growth i'll Alaska. ''-Ex.
