added to the developments under pro- gress by the federal government, is difficult to measure, not only for the district itself, but for all the terri tory that comes within its trade in. fluence.
 There are unlimited quantities of the, low-grade ore, yielding from $2 to $4 and $5 per ton, in the neigh borhood of Juneau and Douglas and other portions of Alaska. The prob lem in the reduction of these has been the procuring of large sums of money for the installation of exten- sive machinery. The Treadwell mine has blazed the way and in thirty years has produced $55,OOO,OOO in gold from this ore. Col. D. c. Jackling and other men of wealth have, for sever al years, been expending millions of dollars in installing machinery and preparing for similar work near Jul neau. Now the great plants are be- ginning their work of crushing noun tains of ore into the gold residum. It means to Juneau the employment of thousands of men and the growth of large industrial cities on both shores of Gastineau channel.
 Since the profit on one ton of ore is very small, adequate returns de. pend entirely on the amount of ore that may be handled. Within two years, it is stated, this daily hand ling will amount to 35,OOO to 10000 tons at Juneau and Douglas alone.
 It is very bright prospect that Mir. McPherson outlines, both for Alaska and fors Seattle, it's natural market place, and one that has in- spired the Seattle Chamber of Con- merce to exert itself in assisting ill development and in preparing to meet the requirements of the tre- mendous growth in traffic and in- dustry so soon to come.-Post-Intel ligencer.

Passenger Steamer Sunk By Ice Near Chicago-Another Boat Report
 ed Damaged.

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.--Intense excite. ment prevailed along the water front here last night when it became known that a large passenger steamer had been crushed by the ice and had gone to the bottom The ice prevent ed any attempt at rescuing the pas sengers. The arrival of daylight re- vealed fifty persons, the crew and passengers of the ill-fated vessel on the floating ice, where they had been marooned after the sinking of the ship.
 Another steamer is reported to have been damaged by the ice and to be making an attempt to reach shore in the hope of landing the crew. The terrible storm which swept the Great Lakes yesterday wrought havoc along the water fronts of nearly all the ports. It is estimated that the damage to ship ping will run into the millions of dol lars

figure, rise is. of course, justified; and if the tendency continues to be to draw further on stocks some re- sumption of the former scale of pro- duction will be justified. The ideal condition would be price of about 14hc. per lb., net cash, New York, for copper and a production substan- tially adjusted to the demand for cop per at that price. There is need, however, to proceed very cautiously in departing from the previous basis of copper production, reduction to which was the only thing that saved the copper industry last fall. The present danger is that some produc- CTS will forget that we are still de- prived of our largest customer, Ger many, that domestic consumption in this country is still not what it ought to be, and that the present large de- mand for copper is to considerable extent for military purposes; and for getting these things will be tempt. ed to increase output and produce conditions from which we may suf- fer later.-Engineering and Mining Journal

State Department !neptitude.

Probably the most inept proposal that has been fathered by our State Department in two years is the re- quest that Great Britain will permit the Dacia to sail from Port Arthur, Texas, to Rotterdam, with lead of cotton, without question as to the right of the boat to fly the American flag.
 The sale of the ship, formerly own ed by a German company, to an Amer ican named Breitung is claimed in London to be a subterfuge to escape molestation; that the boat is sub ject to seizure under the irternation- al rules relating to warfare. If that is the case we are trifling with trou- ble, are going out of the way to look for complications when we grant American registry promiscuously, as has been done since the war was pre- cipitated. It is contended even that some German interests back of the Dacia are planning to have her sail in the hope that she will be captured, so they can raise clamor about an American ship being seized, and thus get the United States into a contro sversy with the Allies.
 That suspicion may be an injustice to the Germans, but such a compli cation is easily possible under the present feverish anxiety to add tc our merchant marine, regardless ot consequences. American registry should not be granted where it is not merited Once granted, it should be as inviolate as American citizen ship.-1ndianapoli Star.

WEALTH IN LoW-GRADE ORE.

In the general plans for the con- struction of railways, opening of coal and agricultural lands and extension of the areas of placer gold mining in Alaska the great asset of existing low-grade gold ore bodies has been largely overlooked by the general public. Secretary J. L. McPherson. of the Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, foreshadows a production of at least $5O,O00, ,0O0 annually from the low-grade ore de- posits, commencing within the next two or three years. The effect of such a tremendous gold production.

CONCERNING NEUTRALITY.

We are a genuinely neutral nation We are neutral in our diplomacy and our commerce. We are neutral in our national attitude toward the war in the sense that we started with no prejudice for or against any nation, and we are still open-minded enough to permit our opinions to be shaped by events.
 Our wise and proper public neutral ity naturally imposes silence regard ing war topics on all official repre- sentatives of the government. But it is peculiar interpretation of neu trality that would seek to interfere with either the formation or the ex- pression of opinion on the part of any private citizen.
 Thought and speech are free in this country. Any citizen has the right to form his own judgments abou: public affairs and public officials, and to express them without hindrance as long as he does so decently. We are not afraid of ideas. We have nofear of logic or criticism applied to our own domestic affairs. Why should we hesitate to look facts in the face when those facts have to do with foreign nations whose conduct and ideals in timately concern our own interests?
 Charles w. Eliot, president emerit- us of Harvard University. pronounces the war the greatest catastrophe that has ever befallen the human race. Other scholars call it the greatest crime of history. It is now, and may long continue, the most important event in the world. Nothing within the experience of living men has been so fraught with vital import for the destiny of the race. The problem of warfare, the most insistent of all the problems of civilization, is now be- ing worked out before our eyes-and worked out just as effectually with in our own minds. No man or wo man of intelligence can help ponder ing on the war, seeking for it's causes, watching it's progress, speculating on it's results and assigning praise or blame to the statesmen and nations involved. And no person who thinks deeply and feels deeply can help giv- ing expression now and then to his opinions.
 It would be cowardice, rather than praiseworthy neutrality, for individ- ual Americans to shut their eyes and close their minds to the moral con- alterations involved. Every citizen owes it to himself to think about the war with all the clearness and concen- tration at his command. He owes 1t also to his country and to the world {; for nothing but great volume of clear thought can put stop to war The more definite opinions we hold and the more clearly and powerfully we are able to express them as in. dividuals and as a nation whenever opportunity serves, the more we shall justify our citizenship and the more we shall be able to do for humanity. -Ex.

B-W's WIN FROM FERGUS
BY THE SCORE OF 8 TO O

The Breckenridge Wahpeton
ball team went to Fergus Falls
last Friday and again took their
measure by the score of 5 to o.
Lefty Faust who pitched for the
locals, throwed alright ball, es-
pecially in pinches. Twice he got
himself in a bad hole and each
time came through with his COL
ors floating bravely on the bree-
yes. Getting fifteen strikeouts and
only allowing two hits would very
near put the crimps into any old
ball team that ever graced dia-
mond. Sam White, the old relia-
BILE, was sure there with the wood
by saving off chunk every time
that fire was needed. He scorch-
ed two pretty ones just over the
infield Root" GILES at third had
two bad errors and G. Boil in
right field let a first bounce get
away from him. Rip pulled bone
but in his general work more than
made up for it. This was where
Rip fell down: A man on first and
nobody out, the batter famed and
Jordan dropped the ball. The man
on first started for second and the
batter to first. Jordan throwed the
ball to second and Rip never
touched his man, but trying for
a double play. According to Hoyle
the man at home was out the
minute he famed and the runner
on first in going to second took
his own chances. Rip says never
again.
