Department of Commerce naviga MOTOR BOAT OWNERS FINED

ton inspectors continue their activ- ities on the navigable waters Of the states, and hardly a day passes but that violators of the naviration laws s,o reported to the various col lectors of customs for the imposition of fines as required by law. With in two days fines aggregating $750 were imposed upon power boat own CTS in the vicinity of Baltimore, Md.
 One owner had his boat out with out any equipment aboard at all and fines amo ,I:tilg to S550 were i'm posed upon hin. In addition to this he was reported to the United States district attorney for indictment for not having aboard his boat a means of extinguishing gasoline fire. An other owner was fined. s220 for oper- ating with out sufficient life pre- servers aboard, and a third was as sessed 500 for not having a whistle on his motor boat. The above in stances of violation of the naviga- ton laws should be fair warning to those using motor boats in the neighborhood of Ketchikan, and thus save themselves few hundred dol lars. There is no telling when a fed eral official will swoop down up- on you without the slightest warn ing.

Washington, July 24-President Wilson s note to Germany states in language So plain as to be almost bald that the latter country s answer tn the American note is absolutely unsatisfactory, and that such in- human acts as sinking of a steam CT without warning is absolutely in dcfensible. President Wilson insists tl.at the freedom of the sea mmust be recognized and maintained. America is not unmindful of the ex- traordinary conditions created in the present war, ad is ready to make every reasonable allowance, but she cannot consent to the abatement of any one of the fundamental or es- sential rights of her people by Ger many. Germany has expressed the hope that the practice of sinking merchantmen will terminate with the end of the war, but President Will son insists that it stop now.

 Miss Vaughn left Mrs. McEvoy at Juneau, and has returned to the states.
 We were perfectly justified in dis charging Mrs. McEvoy, and have since received corroboration of iusti- fication in complaints reaching the office of non-receipt of the paper Miss Vaughn has given us the list of names, and we have placed your name On our list for the daily only for three months.

Petrograd, July 26-The arrival of fresh troops in Poland, who immed- iately began an attack on the Aus tro-Germans, proved that the limit of Russia's possibilities is long way from being reached. This attack has relieved the pressure at Riga and Warsaw, as the Germans have been compelled to take troops from both those places to bolster up weak spots, and the situation in Poland in gen cral is better that it was Saturday.

 suscan almost fifty years ago, and traced its work up to the present day He told of the different aims and departments of the Bu,ea,,. showing that the education and care of the natives in Alaska was but a small part of its duties, for as ne put it, the Bureau is in fact a clearing house as it were for educa- tion, wherever the American Flag flies. :, Thus if officers of town, or state want information of any kind along educational lines, the Bureau aims to supply same. To this end, a record is kept of edu- cational work in all countries, and the Bureau makes public the result of it's investigations in pamphlet and circular letter 10000 queries are received by the Bureau every year on topics ranging from the equipment of kindergarten to the best methods of securing results in state universities and colleges.
 Dr. Claxton touched on many other phases of the work of the Bureau, talking very interestingly for about an hour.
