THE RED CROSS SEAL
BORN FROM WAR.
War Against Disease Now Brings 1t
Back TO Fullest Usefulness,

Nearly $4,000. 900 has been raised by
Red Cross Christmas Seals in the last
seven years. and yet many people who
will buy these holiday stickers at this
eighth annual sale do not know how
the charity stamp idea originated
II was~war that brought forth the
charity stamp-our Civil War Of 81 to
'65. Some of your grandmothers
first played "postoffce" with stickers
similar to Red Cross Seals way back
in 1862. when they conceived the idea

and elsewhere. Nearly $1,000 600 was
raised In this way before 1855.
After the war this method OF rails

country. for a generation. although
it found open vogue in Portugal. swift

other European countries. There are

types of charity stamps used in all
parts of the world os many as forty
being used in Austria for children's
hospitals alone. Stamps or seals
were first used 10 get money for the
aufi-tuberculosis crusade in Norway
and Sweden I'm 1904. To Jacob Riis
the we.i-known social worker OF New
York. and 20 Miss Emily p. Bissell the
energetic secretary of the Delaware
Red Cross. Jointly belong the honor Of
originating our American Red Cross
Christmas seal.
In 1907 Mr. Riis' interest was arous-
eS by the receipt of a Christmas stamr
on a letter from Norway. He pub
lished an article on this queer-look-
ing stamp in The Outlook and sug-
gested some possible uses for it in
this country. Miss Bissell at once
saw an opportunity here and prepar-
ed a stamp, from the sale of which
her society realized $4,000 for tuber-
culosis work. So impressed was she
with this success that she induced the
American Red Cross to take up the
sale in 1908 on a national basis.
With very little organization ane
with hardly any attempt at careful ad
vertising the sale that year brought
in over $135,000 for anti-tuberculosis
work in various parts of the United
States In 1909. with more thorough
organization, the sale was increased
to $3.50, 600, in 1910 to nearly $4,000
in 1911 to over $330,000 and in 1912
to over 100000 In 1913 the sale was
increased to nearly $450,00O and last
year, in spite of war and hard times
% per cent. more, or 55,000,00 seals
were sold, totaling $55O,000 for the
ant-tuberculosis war.
It is fitting to note that war, inhu-
man and cruel, was the mother Of the
Red Cross seal, and that now war for
humanity against disease brings it
back to it's fullest usefulness.

c. T. Barrett, of Katalla, who has been spending the winter in Seattle, has fund of interesting anecdotes about the Boring River coal fields. and he released the following one to the Post-Intelligencer:
 The coal and oil of that district was first brought to my attention in 1SSO," said MT. Barrett. Some In. dians brought me out some specimens which they described as black rocl, that would burn, and asked me what It was.

ADOPTS PLANS FOR
 NEW ALASKA BOAT

The new coast and geodetic survey steamer to be built for Alaska service out of the appropriation of s2S9,OOO provided in this years appropriation bill for two ships will be a duplicate of a coast cutter. if enough money can be got of the appropriation for the purpose.
 Secretary Redfeld expects to buy a yacht for the Atlantic coast survey purposes and to build vessel for AL aska. In casting about for designs he has found that those used in the con struction of the two new coast guard cutters now being built at Newport News would fit his purpose admirably. They are for 9Oo-ton ships, and that is about what he wants. Further, considerable expense would be saved in the making of plans.

DALTON ID ENGAGE
 IN FRE|GHT VENTURE

Jack Dalton, of this city, is at pres ent in Juneau defending suit brought against him by Attorney Cobb for lawyers fees alleged to be due the latter. The Juneau Empire has the following to say of our townsman:
 Mir. Dalton, his relations with the Alaska Engineering Commission hay ing been close enough to amount to confidence, does not care to publicly anticipate what move may be made by them in the next few days. He speaks favorably of the Ship Creek country and its adjacent harbor, which he ayers is open to shipping the year around, and for eight months is en- tirely free from Ice.
 'If any coal is mined in the Mat anuska 1t will have to be taken out by the way of Ship Creek" he re- marked.
 As to his future plans he is some what in doubt just yet, but said:
 "I am looking forward to a light craze contract for the transportation of freight in the Knik Arm country. There are about twenty miles of un. navigable water there over which SUD- plies for the government road will have to be taken in the event that this route Is chosen"
 MT. Dalton is nursing a sore throat the result of indoor living, but other wise is rugged and agile as a young man. and indicated that he was anx. ious to get back on the trail again.

ADJUST [ 5 TATE OF MISSING
 IN NORTH

Probably no one will ever know the number of people who have disap- peared in the Northland. Every mail brings many letters of inquiry from those outside trying to trace friends and relatives.
 Sometimes a bunch of bleached bones, a skull or a skeleton found here and there in the vast silent reaches hint at unknown tragedies, but real knowledge of the manner of death and identity of the victims must ever remain one of the many secrets locked in the heart of the north.
 In answer to the numerous disap- pearances a bill has been introduced in the territorial legislature as fol- lows:
 An act to repeal Chapter 60. to amend Chapter SS of the Code of Civ il Procedure in respect to the dis position of estates of persons who have disappeared of the session laws of 1913, and to amend Section 173O of the Civil Code of Procedure.
 That Section 173O be amended by adding the following paragraphs:
 That whenever any person owning property in any precinct of the ter ritory shall disappear and cannot be found upon reasonable inquiry. the commissioner of the precinct, in which real property is situated or personal property is found belonging to such missing person, may, upon application of any relative who would be an heir to such missing persons estate in case of his death, appoint a guardian of the estate of such missing person, and in case there is no such heir. or in the event of the failure of such heir to apply, then such guardian may be appointed upon the application of any friend or other person interested in the estate of such missing person: and in such cases the provisions of Chap -er SS of the Code of Civil Procedure relating to the guardianship of the estate of insane persons shall be ap. plicable and shall govern proceedings affecting such estate.
 If such missing person is not heard from for perior of six years contin- uously, he shall be presumed to be dead. and after the expiration of six years from the date of his disappear ance, his estate shall be administered in accordance with the then existing provisions of the law applicable to the administration of the estate of de- ceased 4ersons.
 The appointment heretofore of any guardian of the estate of any missing person as provided by Chapter 60 of the Session Laws of 1913, whether made upon the application of a rel ative or other person, is hereby rat flied.

Plenty of Money Assured.

While $2,OOO,OOO only were appro- priated for the the first work there will be plenty more forthcoming as it is needed as the committee would have as cheerfully recommended $10,- 000.OOO. They take the view that the test should be a through one, and there will be no tightening of the purse strings when more money Is needed, The appropriation was kept small be- cause Secretary Lanes plans for the summer only entailed that much ex- pense. It can be stated as a certain ty that railroads will go eventually to all the places mentioned as possible locations.
 Secretary Lane has charge, as you all know, of the construction and op- eration of the Alaskan railroad. The whole matter has been left with him. He is a business man who understands railroads; he is a great, broad-minded statesman, the biggest man in the presidents cabinet, and it is greatly to the advantage of Alaska that the opening of the territory is under his supervision.
 There are two roads going out of the interior of Alaska, the Alaskan Northern and Copper River roads. MT. Lane thinks 1t would not be we'll to build another line along the side of either of them. He thinks he ought to buy one or the other of these roads, but has not signed a contract with either.
 Sentiment in Washington is very favorable toward Alaska. There Is a complete change of heart made mani fest, and congress will do all that is necessary to develop the territory"

A BRIGHT FUTURE FUR ALASKA
 SAYS WICK

Delegate James Wickersham is now at Juneau, attending the session of the territorial legislature and advo- eating statehood for Alaska.
 Before leaving Seattle for the North he gave out some interesting informa- tion. According to Judge Wicker sham Alaskas cloud not only con tains a silver lining, but it's whole tex ture is silver, as he believes that be- fore the present administration passes out a complete railroad system, de- yeloping practically every section of the country, will be in operation. A bill passed late in the season, which insures a school system, including the founding of an agricultural college and school of mines at Fairbanks. is another reason for Judge Wicker sham's satisfaction.
 "Alaskans need not worry their heads over the destination or route of the government railroad" said Judge Judge Wickersham. "It will not be one railroad but a whole system of railroads before the present admins tration steps out Alaska Is going to be the scene of a demonstration of the theory that government owned railroads can develop a country, and Alaskans can rest assured that the test will be thorough.

Young man, don't swear. for swearing is never good for sore finger. 1t has never cured rhu- matism nor helped to ouy the necessities of life. It isn't re commended for the liver com plaint. It won't insure against sewing machine agents nor any of the ills which beset people through life. There is no oc- caslon for swearing outside of a newspaper office, where it is use ful in reading proofs, ano indis- pensibly necessary in getting the forms to press.

We recently heard a minister nse an expression, says an ex- change, that to our mind was the best we ever heard to illustrate human nature. He said that you will always find the tree in an orchard with the best fruit on it also has the most sticks and chunks fastened in it's branches. It is so also in human life.
