RAILROAD GE TS TITLE TO /, LAND |

The Juneau land office has issued final certificate to the Katalla Com pany, or Copper River x Northwestern Railway, in the matter of the property covered by United States survey No. S29, which invilves a strip of land near the ocean dock, Cordova. The Is suance of this certificate marks the close of a long period of litigation be- tween the Katalla company ana Al Lowe and Jennie Dalton in the land office courts
 The area claimed by the Katalla Company comprises about 22 acres and adioins the Camet and Juneau Frac- ton lode claims owned by Lowe and Dalton.
 During the progress of this case, the decision of which has settled the ques' ton of the right of possession or thls particular property and of the lode claims, several much-discusseG mat ters incident to Alaska land laws have been determined. Among the points on which this decision has a direct bearing and which have been settled for the future by virtue of this decIs- ion are the question of the land claimed by squatters, and also that of the rights of possessory claimants to tide lands.

Declines Raise.

The salary of Tennessee's
comptroller was fixed at $4,000
until the election of Geo. P.
Wooden when it was lowered to
$35OO.O0.
Jno. B. Thomson made the
race for comptroller before the
present legislature expecting as
he says, to be paid $35O0.OO and
no more for his services.
He was elected and now the
legislature in goodness of its
heart has voted him a $4,000
raise bringing the salary back to
the original 100000.
The Comptroller sent a written
protest to the conference COM
mittee declining the raise with
thanks and asking that his salary
be fixed at $3500.0O instead of
100000.
Not many would do thing of
this sort but if the rest of these
people who are preaching econo-
my and keeping of platform
pledges want to prove their faith
by their works, let them go and
do likewise.

comes a sanctified instrument,

1t was passenger ship. If it

was the duty of the destroyer to

If the destroyes could not take

Who Makes The Paper.

Recently the writer has been
receiving numerous compliments
on the general makeup of The
Partisan and especially the front
page and the character OF the
matter and news thereon.
Credit for this should be CIV
en- Mr.. P. M. Ware who is
business manager, news editor
and general foreman of The Pa
risian, and if this Office is turn
ing out a creditable journal, it is
entirely through his efforts.
Mr.. Ware is a young man, still
in his twenties but he is bundle
of nervous energy and possesses
the necessary intelligence to ac-
company it.
Under his management has
been turned out some of the
highest class job work that has
ever been seen in Paris, and the
patronage of this department is
constantly increasing.
When you glance over the 10
cal happenings, if your name is
not written there" the omis-
sion is chargeable to Miss Brown
who has nothing to do but set
type for about half the reading
matter, make the stone proofs,
fold papers, go after the mail,
make the weekly and monthly
collections, get out the mailing
list, keep up with the marriages,
births, deaths, lawsuits, society
doings, etc., and therefore ought
to have plenty of time to keep
up with the comings .'and goings
of the whole town and county.
Another young lady and two
handsome young men complete
the office force and theirs is the
hardest job of all as they are ex-
pected to not only attend to their
own duties but to do every
thing that isn't done by some
body else."
Personally, we spend about
forty minutes each week trying
to tell the truth in such a nice
mild way that it can be printed
on this particular page without
our running the risk of getting
sandbagged on the way home at
night.

Kultur and Murder.
uncivilized

The American passengers on
the Lusitania were murdered.
The act was a low form of
assination.
The ship was unarmed and
the passengers were unarmed.
They had neither weapons of
defense nor opportunity of escape
They were helpless when they
were killed. They did not get a
dogs chance. y
There will be many who will
defend this act. The brutishness
of the deed will appeal to a saw
age quality which ages of civiliz-
ing attrition have not effaced
from the souls of some men.
The thoroughness of the meth
DDS of the slayers and the eff
cheney of the means employed
will be accepted as another evil
dence of German kultur.
Herman Ridder, who once on a
time denounced German impe-
rialism, has already lightly sa-
luted the dying Lusitania and
has declared that the warning to
Americans to keep away from
English passenger ships estops
America from objecting.
Didn't we spend $25, 900 in
advertising that travelling in
English passenger ships would
be dangerous?" asks Ridder.
Riders logic is that Germany,
having spent this money, has
paid in advance for the dead.
That is a fair estimate of the
German governments value of
human life.
Dernberg, who has made a
nuisance of himself in attempt
ing to mold and bluff public
opinion, insists that the Lusi-
tania is a British naval auxiliary
and therefore those who rode on
it were in no different position
than if they were on a battle
ship.
The Germans have declared a
war zone that crosses all lanes
of European travel and there
fore one enters this territory at
ones peril.
The excuses under which Ger
many will jurtify her act in this
wholesale murder are made in
Germany" They are without
foundation in international law
or in natural justice. They are
based on what is the meanest of
governmental philosophy-the
end justifies the means.
Germany by reason of her
Kultur holds herself to be supe-
rior to any other nation. Kultur
is the highest state of existance.
Therefore whatever stands in
