The fisheries of commercial value are on 5be Alaskan coast. In time when the country develops into a home land for hundreds of thousands, if not millions, fisheries of interior strelms also will be'a big item.

 How Did He Do It7
 Senator Charlie Curtis has been in Washington several days attending to business before the departments. The question asked him by Republicans has been. "How did you do it?" referring to his succeNs in Kansas last fall. Jonathan Bourne, who Is at the head of the Republican Publicity associa- tlon, asserts that the victory of Curtis last fall was the most remarkable thing In the campaign, and he among others asked the Kansan how he did 1t.
 Saved From Waste.
 The geological survey reports that metals to the value of S72, ,7S6,000 were recovered last year from what has heretofore been called waste. This Is one form of conservation. The geo. logical survey has given attention to economies of this kind and issued Q number of bulletins showing how ma terials could be saved which have been going to the scrap heap. It was the prodigality of Americans with ma terlals which caused the movement for conservation. That movement has gone so far now that 1t covers nearly everything in the way of natural re- sources, and, although It is not wholly perfect, q great deal of good Is being accomplished.
 Constantly at Work.
 While 1t is no doubt true that all de- Dartments of the government are at work earnestly trying to improve such public interests as are under their charge, 1t is q fact that the agricul- tural department Is always at work and in all localities. Here comes q re- port from the Philippines showing what a great improvement has been made in agriculture In those islands by the introduction of modern meth ods by the agricultural department. Besides, the department Is working in every land where the flag floats.
 Canada Full of Fight.
 Canada stands ready to furnish 3OO.OOO men to help Great Britain fight the war;" said John F. Ryan, resi- dent of Montreal, who was in Wash ington. It is rather strange that the offer has not been utilized, for 1t is certain that Great Britain has need of troops. Ryan says that many Ameri- cans are going into Canada and get ting naturulized in order to enlist and % to the war. If they don't look out the peace people will get after our government and insist that Americans should not be allowed to leave this country for any such purpose.

QUEER HAWAIIAN NAMES.
Such as Mrs. Oyster and The Man Who
 Washes His Dimples.

WaSneS HIS DlHPlSS'
 The natives of Hawaii are singularly picturesque in their choice of names. MT. Scissors, The Thief, The Ghost, The Fool, The Man Who Washes His Dimples, Mrs. Oyster, The Weary Liz ard, The Husband of Kaneia Ia male dog), The Great Kettle, The First Nose, The Atlantic Ocean, The Stom- ach, Poor Pussy, Mrs. Turkey, The Tenth Heaven, are all names that have appeared in the city directory.
 They are often careless of the gender or appropriateness of the names they take. A householder on Beretania street, Honolulu, is called The Pretty Woman (Wahine MaikaD; a male in- fant was lately chrlstened Mrs. TOmp- kins; one little girl Is named Samson; another, The Man; Susan (Kukena) is q boy; so are Polly Sarah, Jane Peter and Henry Ann. A pretty little maid has been named by her fond parents The Pig Sty Hale Pua). For some un- known reason-or for no reason at all one boy Is named The Rat Eater Kamea Oie Ole).
 The Rev. Dr. COan of Hawaii pos sessed the love of his flock. One morn- ing c child was presented for baptism whose name was given by the parents, Makia; when the ceremony was fin lshed the parents assured the doctor that they had named the baby for him.
 But my name is not Michael" said the doctor, supposing Mikia to be aim ed thereat-
 eve always hear your wife call you Mikia," answered the mother. She had mistaken Mrs. Coan's familiar "my dear" for her husbands given name.
 An old servant in Dr. Wlght's fam fly at Kohala caused her grandchild to be baptised in church, The Doctor tKauka); that was It's only name. By way of compliment to the early physi- clans, many children were named after their drugs, as Joseph Squills, Miss Rhubarb, The Emetic, The Doctor Who Peeps In at Door.
 Names uncomplimentary, or even dis gustlng, are willingly borne by their owners; others convey pleasing and graceful sentiment Among the latter are the Arch of Heaven (Ka Ria LanD, The River of Twilight CKa Via Linla), The Delicate Wreath (Ka Lei ma Lib. The name of Lilu o Kalani, the queen now in retirement, means A Lily In tho Sky.-Youth's Companion.

TTNERANT MERCHANTS

Tt4 question Of itinerant mer- chants doing business in incorporAt- cd towns in Alaska without pay ing a municipal tax therefor, has been a yexiug one to the home merchants who have invested their capital and are deyoting their en- tire time to building up the coun- try, ard has worked a hardship up- on them in that they have been obliged to compete m prices with these coucreus which are here to- day and away tomorrow, the length Of their stay being gauged only by tie amount of business they can do, and when the going" gets haru' hunt new pastures while the home merchant has to take the lean with the lat, and often there is more Of +1a former than the latter.
 The last session of the terri tUr'M legislature passed a law au- thoriziug municipalities to tax i1t1- er2ut merchants. and this law will become in force on the 2Sth Of this month. In Juneau the matter will ae taken ur by the city coun- cil a- soon IS tEe law becomes et- fectiy9 and ordinances passed in conformity with the power granted.
 The Daily Alaskan received the olloSing dispatch from Juneau last evening:
 "Juncau, July l5-The territorial legis.atiye law allowing municipaH- ties to tax itiuerant merchants will become effective July 2Sth, and -he Juneau city council will pass an ordinance in favor of the home nor chants as soon IS the law is eI- fect.ye."
 We believe the town council ot Skagway will make move along similar Tues at itA first meeting in August, as that body is composed oL men who fully realize the import auce of encouraging local business IS much Us they legitimately can.
 What with the mail order houses and 'aese fly by night itinerants the merchants e Alaska, wheth7' living in incorporated towns or not, have had a hard row to hoe to hold their own in the strGnuostttes oT the figh. against a condition of affairs that should long ago have been et- ractually stopped either by con- gressiouaI or legislative enactment

 Indians and Peace,
 The Lake Mohonk conference Is one of those institutions which Is semioth- cial in character and seems to have for its purpose the instruction of officials as to what they should or should not do. For many years It has confined its efforts mainly to the Indians. Every body could tell what to do with the Indians and could yet if more impor- tant subjects had not come athwart the horizon. Of late years the MOhonk conference has taken up the peace side of the question as to whether or not the United States should make prepa- ration for war or possible war. Con- sequently it was with some degree Of pleasure that advocates of better prepa- ration saw q bomb thrown into the NIohonk conference by a college pro- lessor. Those who believe that big guns and big fleets are the best guar antee of peace enjoyed the jolt given the conference.
