If we are owned by corporation, it would be great service to us for our advisers to point out the corpo- ration. It has been the desire of our
 young and promising career to be-
 long to some company that we could draw on for a thousand or so when
 the chill winds of diversity blow through the thin spots in our sum- mer underwear. We have never suc- ceeded in our desires, and if our cor
 respondent will only favor us by tying our painter to a corporation ship, we will split fifty-fifty with him. We don't deny that we are out after the money. That word has always
 looked better to us than anything in
 the English language; but so far all we have accumulated from corpora tions or monopolies would not pay for a chicken dinner at Jap restau- rant.

WINTER TRANSPORTATION
 MAY BE SOLVED

Talk about~the legless horse, the futterless butterfly, the stingless Ibumblebee, the man that doesn't look like monkey and all the other nat ural wonders. They are simply fade less nothings alingside of the contrap- tion seen on the streets yesterday, which is the invention of a Juneau boy.
 It is a new-fangled motor sled, de- vised by Eugene Nelson. The way it humps along the sled before it with the weight of two persons suggests great possibilities.
 Even R. P. Nelson, the bookstore man and the daddy of the boy who contrived the contraption, admitted, after seeing it work, that the boy might be a wee bit smarter than him. self.
 Many residents yesterday paused to observe the strange craft go whizzing by through the slush snow.
 Briefly described, a one-half motor power wheel of the A. 0. Smith man. ufacture is fastened to bob sled and controlled by small thumb lev CT which is applied to the steering bar of the sled. The sled travels at the rate of 10 to IS miles an hour All sorts of devices have been in- vented for travelling the frozen trails of the interior. Apparently nothing yet devised can approach the practi- cal and simple effectiveness of the gas motorsled put into shape by the Juneau boy. The one wheel which furnishes the power will take sled along the most narrow track and for hills, a chain attachment would catch hold.
 To run over any comparatively frozen trail would prove easy com pared with travelling through the slush snow on the streets of Juneau. Juneau Dispatch.

Mrs. Lena Morrow Lewis's speech in the Empress Theatre Sunday after noon upon "Capitalism's Contribu- tion to Civilization" was said to be one of the ablest addresses ever given in Valdez. Mrs. Lewis handled her subject in a manner which showed careful study of the question, and contrary to public opinion of the So- cialist idea, commended the good things capital has done for the world and touched lightly upon the evils. She paid capital the tribute of rais- ing the world from savagery, and showed at length how necessary it was that both capital and labor be in accord one with the other. It was a jewel of logical oratory, and sent the thinking portion of her audience home with a new conception of the greatest question of the age.

You Never Can Tell.

No. sir, you never can tell whether Delegate Wickersham thinks like you or thinks different, although it is generally differently. And the only way you can tell that he is opposed to your ideas is by the manner he evades you. If for any reasons or no reasons at all he evades you, you can rest assured that he is opposed to your ideas, whatever they may be.
 Since early last spring, Alaskans have been at loggerhead, more or less, over the division of the Forest Reserve money, from which sprung up the idea of separating the First Division from the others. Since early last spring, the southeastern Alas kans have been clamoring for reme- dial laws to regulate our fishing com merce that has been sliding down across the line at rapid glide. All of which the Delegate has been made cognlzant of. He was implored, he was written to for assistance, and all that; yet on coming out to attend the coming session of congress, he passed us by as though we were his servants instead of him being ours In the event that congress could not open it's session unless the Delegate was there, congress could have wait ed, since 1t was the Delegates duty to see what we wanted, advise with us-or advise us, whichever way would have been proper, according to his idea. Instead of that he evaded us, which Is conclusive evidence that he does not agree with us, and thinks

CANOE PASS C0.
 EMPLOY ALASkANS
Portland Packing Company Would Prefer to Employ Alaska Fish
 ermen to Foreigners.

The Canoe Pass Packing company, with headquarters in Portland, Ore- gon, and operating canneries at Ca noe Pass, Southeastern Alaska, and at Cordova will employ Alaska fish ermen in future if the help can be obtained.
 Superintendent P. w. Lee, of the Cordova cannery, has written John Emil of Valdez, to ascertain the num- Der of fishermen in Valdez district who could be depended upon to fur nish fish to the cannery during the coming season. In his letter to MT. Emil the superintendent states that the company has decided to employ Alaskans in preference to bringing fishermen from the states, but says that it will probably be necessary to bring inside cannery employees to Alaska.
 Emil was with the Canoe Pass Packing company during the past sea- son and reports that fishermen own ing their boats were enabled to make from 5000 to $500 during the sea- son. The profits realized by the fish ermen depends largely upon the run of salmon, which varies each year. Last year the run of salmon on the Copper river flats was not up to usu- al numbers but the company secured a satisfactory pack
 The Canoe Pass Packing company's Cordova cannery is located in the Jack Dalton sawmill building, at the outer wharf.

Let's leave the ladies of Valdez out of our little arguments. It is not con- sidered either manly or smart any more, even in forty-ninth class soci- ety, to hold lady up to ridicule. Let us not forget that the ladies are not responsible for their husbands few shortcomings, and drop them from the argument. We believe the ladies of Valdez,-all of them-are as educated and cultured as in any other part of the world, and they should be respected.
