DEMAND FOR DIAMONDS
 KILLED BY THE WAR

LONDON south Africa has been hit hard by the war. DeWett and Beyers have cost the Union Government a large slice of the S35 5000. 900 provided for war purposes there by the Imperial Treasury in London.
 But serious loss of very different sort is provided bv the closing down of the diamond mines. The war has killed the market for such luXuries as diamonds
 Even in the United States, which is not at war and has still an abundance of mllionaires. no diamonds are wanted just now or while the war lasts. Neu- trals as well as belligerents feel that war makes it imperative upon them to husband their resources.

HOPES DEFE ERRED.

The news that tn. Pl, sident ha ,lr. cided 10 reserve the publication of tie report of the Alaska Railroad Com mission until the next session of Con greSs will no doubt be Il somewhat severe blow to our neighbors of the Southeastern coast who have been announcement which will have such an. overwhelming influence on the fut- ure of practically the entire middle section of Southeastern Alaska Espec- ially in those towns most prominently mentioned as tho probable terminus of the future road, will the disappointment he most keen and we may shortly hear vail Of protest at the decision of the executive arising from the purlieus of Seward and Cordova. both of whom confidently expected that the honor would fall to them and thenceforth superb opulence would be theirs They can, however console themselves with the thought that their disappointment is shared in large measure by the people of the whole territory.
 The many assertions. emanating from those in authority. that the time was short and that the completion of the labors of the Commission would speedily relieve the suspense. have raised the hopes of the people to the highest pitch of expectancy, and the sudden and unexpected change in af- fairs has. no doubt. been in the nature of a body blow. What may be the true reason for the surprising deter mination to leave the matter in abey- ance until the next congressional ses- sion can only be conjectured at the present but it may be assumed that there is a most vital reason and it is no hazardous guess that the crux of the matter lies in the question recently asked of the Attorney General by Sec retary Lane as to whether or not the President had authority to igate the government for more than the sum appropriated by Congress at the re- quest of the Secretary of the Interior.
 Also there has been noticeable of late a seeming lack of decision as to the policy to be pursued displayed by even The Secretary himself This has seemed so significant to many who are in touch with public affairs that the prediction has been voiced more than once that the administration would do very little more than the merest pre- liminary work during tho present year and 1t seems from the present outlook | that the prophecy is not going to fall | far short of the mark
 Despite the assertions of the ad- ministrstion that the work was To be

pushed to completion as rapidly as possible, the fact that the sum asked for preliminary work by Secretary Lane was less than half of the ap- propriation he had publicly announced would be requested. was ample indica ton that there was a rift in the lute and also il formed a most cogent reason for the surmise that things were not working as smoothly as the admins tration might desire
 The reason for all this backing and filling is not very clear unless it lies in the probability that the contract is far larger than was at first anticipated. and the expenditure of the fund al ready provided for initial work would serve no useful purpose at the present time. Whatever may be the reason it is clear that Alaskans will again have to wait until the administration de cides to move. Anyway. in the light of the past, it was really too much to expect that an enterprise of such tre- mendous importance 10 Alaska and its people. should be handled with expedi ton by the government. In the past Alaska has had to be content with the scraps which successive Congresses l have gruginely flung to her and al though we have Of late been led to believe that better things were in store, it seems apparent that we are in but little better case than before. IL is true that Congress has treated us with extraordinary munficence during the past year or two, that iS if we make comparisons with former years, but aside from the pitiful meas ure of self government granted. the ma iority of congressional benefa ctions have not been of a nature which might he termed vital

WASHiNGTON.

 This industry has given to tho Els kimos nor only food and clothing. but Ia means of transportation superior to dog teams.
