ALASKA CAN SUPPLY MEN WHO WANT WORK EFFETE EAsTERNERs WANT POSITIONS

DT HE Alaska Engineering Commission is receiving It's
 striking lesson in government ownership LlkeWse 1t is learning that there vast difference between men who want ''work' and men who want "positions
 The commission, which is charged with the building of the Alaska railroad has received close to 36OOO applications persons the states who want postons in connection with that mammoth government enterprise Such an analysis flood of applications the commission has been able to make indicates that it has received applications from sons who merely want 'work In other words the crying demand get attached to the government payroll in sof easy jobs which the salary will be ample and certain and which will enable the ncumbents say that they hold posi- tons with the government
 There is a sort of glamour about government job that is attractive to large proportion of the people who look ing for something soft There is innate desire in many breast occupy public positon Perhaps the posessor this desire could not tell why he possesses it. Certainly however he does not rush into 1t in the expectation that he will be Overworked
 The flood of applications for postons' in the consruc on of the Alaska railroad eloquent precursor of the pub lie nefcency and wasted energy which the government will pay dearly for if undertakes to build the road itself This be obviad the president has authority to let the sucOn out by contract and several contractors who have established regulations and have done big engineering in Alaska, have been in Washington for time submit bids Unlike the government contractor will not have pOshons at fat salaries to give Persons who work for contractor know that is work and not physical presence and good looks that are wanted
 Secretary of the Interior Lane quoted as having said that the road will be built by contract However official announcement has been made If construction by contract is decided the work would be under the supervision Alaska Engineering Commission which has the power fix passenger and freight rates when the road completed

ALL SECTIONS OF ALASKA TO BENEFIT
 FROM BUILDING OF GOVERNMENT RAILROAD

T HE Fairbanks Citizen takes Juneau commercial organ
 izaon to task for condemnng the town of Seward for
 what it declared is attempt to boom their town asserting that made eXravagan claims regard the flu ture prospects, and points out the great disadvantage of such railroad jealousies in the following editorial:
 This is not the only indication that some of the people of towns not directly benefited by the proposed are a ous of the advantages that promised the favored places.
 It is amentabe that there should be such shortsighted people in land full of promise Any right thinking per son will that the building of part of Alaska tain to promote the welfare of all other places The building of the government railroad will nure Juneau even if Seward is made the terminus which seems probable at this writing.
 Ii the people of Seward do not promote their own pery by boosting their town and its promising fuure who will assist them to grow? In place of being blamed for trying to induce people to there the people Seward are en tied to credit for certainly they proving be the most progressive communities in Alaska If Seward gets the railroad of the credit will be due to the people of the town for their systematic boosting
 COrdova and Valdez need feel unduy dsapponted if Seward the chosen point for almost certain that the hst railroad hne pays, will be constructed later At any rate both towns will be the line road that they will get more or less benefit from the start And Juneau and the towns of the extreme southeastern part of the territory will sea traffic to Alaska which will indirectly aid the towns along the coast.
 Nome will profit in various ways The railroad will have tendency to put Nome touch with the outside world in the winter time and will promote mining there as we'll as in the in terior
 People who oppose everything that not affect them drecty are unit residents of the territory would be well If some system could be found eliminating them from Alaska. Q ~ ~

1t seems though territorial lawmakers-at least several of them-have gone their task accompanied by grouch From the Juneau papers it is that some thing has annoyed them it may be that they naturally grouchy" They have bawled the United States Commis soners they have bawled the eapetbaggers they have baWed the Mt Tabor institution for the nsane they have oawled Dr. Lester Jones' and possibly bawed many others unreported Perhaps they would do we'll baw themselves out and up matters

There other ways correct evils than by the bawlng process and ways much effective From point of view though of the legislators interest ed only in personalities It would be much preferable to legislature praised for doing very little hawlng and law making than to do much of either boh Lawmakers accomplish great deal by peaceful methods besides saving themselves from mourning the emy of the tive and peaceful cltizens.-Ketchikan Progressive

That devil of a German aviator
how l admired him! The little
wretch! / could not have found it
In my heart to kill him, even if / had
been able to do SO. Once, indeed,
when his Taube lost its balance in
the vortex caused by a bursting
shrapnel, l could have winged him.
But before I had my automatic to my
eye he had executed the most grace
full maneuver imaginable, dipping
sheer for five hundred yards, so that
/ could not believe but that he had
sustained a mortal wound, and then
soaring in spirals back to the hostile
lines.
We had exchanged salutations, dip
ping the little French and German
flags at our bows. We knew each 9TH
er intimately-in the air. 1 had long
since resolved to take him prisoner
If it were possible not to slay him.
But this girl, this Belgian girl who
stood before me-what was l to do?
The little devil of a Boches had been
making love to her! His exploits ter
riied her! She wanted him safe, a
prisoner in the French camp, if nee
essary, but where he could return to
her after the wal.
At first / smiled at her with pity.
"Mademoiselle," I said, do you not
know that they are all philanderers,
those Germans? Undoubtedly the lit

I shrugged my shoulders. What
was I to do? Here was this girl, who

loved him, and she was pleading at
my feet now.
"Ah, monsieur lie lieutenant, you
must save him. she begged, weep
ing. Consider how perilous is the
live of an aviator, monsieur. Some
day he will fall and be killed. And
everybody says that it is you whom
he singles out to do battle in the
clouds. Help me, monsieur. Make
him a prisoner"
She extracted some sort of a prom
Use from me. But it vas more easily
said than done.
Three days passed before I saw him
again. Then one fine morning I per-
ceived him, when I was aloft. He
was coming straight as an arrow to-
ward me, and there was no mistaking
that answering flight. I dashed to-
ward him.
During our months of enmity we
had established a sort of code. Thus,
when he sighted me, the German
would rise vertically, dip, and rise
again. For my part, 1 would describe
the arc of a circle. 1t was much the
flourish that duelists make before
they thrust. So, seeing the signal, L
turned and began to make my swift
glide from south through west to
north, calculating that this would
bring me face to face with him.
How quickly l was u~ndeceived. The
German had risen above me, and,
from that height, let fall a bomb. 1
heard it kissing past my wings, mi
saw the little cloud Of white smoke
rise underneath where it struck. En-
ragged by this breach of convention, l
covered him with my automatic, and
fired.
Naturally, I did not hit him. That
one hardly expects to do. However,
it struck me as strange, even then,
h a he did not make his customary
reply. What seemed more singular
was that the German, instead of en-
deayoring to rise above ne, wheeled
as if to retreat, then, returning, came
ut me as if he meant to collide with
me.
An instant later bang, bang, bang,
bang, He had opened on me with a
auick-firer. It was, in fact, a Maxim
which he had mounted on his ma
chine.

bolical contrivance. He had given
