Makes Sanitary Address


At Lanes Chapel, on Friday
night, Mayor Robins addressed
the .colored population for
the purpose of urging them
to do all in their power
in the effort being made
to thoroughly clean up the city.
Mayor Robins impressed upon
his hearers that it was necessary
for everybody to join in this
movement and complimented
those present upon the good
work that had already been done
in their section of the town.
Several of the ladies who have
charge of the committee work
were present and heard reports
from the colored committees that
had been entrusted with the duty
of getting the work done.
Following is thereport of Egg
bert McWilliams and his COM
mittee: ~ 3c7
/ and your committee for the
third district beg leave to submit
my report.
/ have been continually going
through my district begging the
people to clean their premises
and surroundings ever since that
duty has been conferred upon
me to do so. Though there have
been many hard words against
me, nevertheless | feel that |
have discharged my duty the best
| could so far, and my report is
as follows:
The public school building and
surrounding it is in better condi-
ton than ever before. The floors
and walks are just as clean as
can be; there is not one particle
of waste paper of any descrip-
,. ton to be found. Also the Bap-
fist church is in the same condi-
: ton. Many praises for Prof.
VIM. Wade and Rev. G. W.
Bowen for their good work. |,
myself, and the president, Mrs.
Annie Thompson and Mrs. Alice
Stone have gone to nearly
every home in the third district
and I'VE found all in good con-
ditjOn. eXceDt - -

\ REMINDER oE AN OLDEN TIME

A race between two sailing ships from Cook Inlet to Cape Fiattery a distance of 14oO miles, and the winning of the race by less than 12 hours by one of them is reminder of days of long agothe days that preceded the tran steamship-days when romance and ocean commerce were closely linked n the minds Of men-days when men with silyered hair were boys and listened in wonderment and longing to the tales told by some "od salt' just in from the Western' ocean or from across the line" nearer starting point an ~old Salt" whose first question of the tug which picked him up at '"The Cape. or. t he were lucky and struck fair breeze of the agent who boarded him in- side. was: "Has the Glory arriyed?" The stories were oi the weather. the victory and the wager Or if defeat was the ate there told wonderful tales of other times when the ~old salt" was not second best in the race.
 In those days races were encouraged by owners and shippers. To them the spirit of contest meant money in time saved and quick deliveries and the n' teres in the race gave saormen less time to think of poor fare or other grievances real or imaginary Sel- dom. n eyer was there mutny among ships crew f there was race and wager to occupy the thought and effort of the men, In those days on the wa ter were not attended by criticism on the part of the underwriters There was the danger that surrounds racing by craft that are driven by artificial power
 often has 1t been said that steam had robbed the sea of its romance and charm. and 1t but needs race like that between two of the old clippers engaged in the Alaskan fisheries trade to cause those whose first notions Of ocean traffic gained in the days before steam had supplanted sail to understand its truth

THE IMPETUS TO BUSINESS OF OUR IMMENSE
 FOREIGN TRADE

The statistics of our foreign commerce. from Jan- uary 1915 to July s 1915 inclusive shows an excess of export values over those of imports Of s9SOS7S444 for the seven months.
 The excess in the single month of July was S124' sooOoo and the orders already filed in this country for commodities to be shipped during the remaining five months give promise of even heavier monthly bal ances during those months
 A trade balance of S2.OOOOOOOOO during the fiscal year is not impossible provided foreign nations can arrange to pay for the necessities they seeking to purchase and secure.
 Not a single individual or firm government in Europe is buying from United States simply to pat ronze the producers the merchants of this country
 They one and all are buying because they are of the opinion they need and can to advantage the com modities they wish from us. and whether there com odities arc classed as war materials oodsuffs or metals or flores they bought only and solely be- cause Europe people believe they need them; and need them most urgently.
 This country is well pleased to have the calls from Europe and from every other continent for our pro- duets and our outputs and conditions throughout the world are such that if the closed in even 30 days time a larger and constantly increasing demand for these products and outputs assured to people for many years in the future
 There should however be no relaxation of effort upon the part of our Federal officials, upon the part of our merchants our manufacturers various busi' ness organizations to get frmer and stronger hold upon the markets of every continent
 That work should be pushed with the utmost vi- gor the finest team work systematized and organized and wh an the skin and intelligence which experience in business affairs can give.
 We have as nation most remarkable object lesson as to the value of foreign trade in the financial commercial and industrial of the last F months and one and all can now see clearly its benefits to ey cry man. woman and child in this Union
 Given the foreign trade which be made ours by our business men there will be depression in the United States for many years to come for our home demand will quickly respond the effects of large for eign orders and the two combined will create and sus tain ideal activities in this country.
 The outlook for all classes of business in the Unit ed States never was so bright in any period of the past as it is now for the present and the future years

 Should the strike of lowgrade ore which is report ed has been made on Resurrection river prove to be real find and Seward becomes another Juneau it will be interesting to that the discovery was made by 8 man without mining experience.
 It is strange thing, but history shows that while experience is valuable thing in almost every walk of life 1t is a detriment to the prospector.
 Every mining camp from the Koyukuk, in the far North to the Rand in South Africa. has its story of the greenhorns fnd not that experience prospectors do not locate mines Of vast wealth. but t is nearly all ways the newcomer who picks up the piece of barren rock and discovers fortune. Some of the most no table instances recalled in which the newcomer or the initiated found the bonanza include the finds at Chee chako hnl in Fairbanks the Nome beach, the second lode at Comstock many of the finds near Goldfield Nevada and strikes in the gold fields of both South Africa and New Zealand.

WHY THE TARIFF wILL BE AN ISSUE
CNew York Worldly

(New York World.)
 It is no disnterested devotion to the principle of extreme protection that is turning the Republican lead CTS back to the tariff as their main issue in 1916
 The Republican organization needs money for cam pagn purposes Federal and State legislation has prac ticay dried up the railroad and Wall Street fountains that once gushed penteously The special interests that rob the consumer by capitalizing high tariffs are the only certain supply that remains. Wool and cotton and steel always ready to trade cash for leg slaton and by selling out the Republican party to these infant industries campaign fund can be assured
 That is why the average Republican politicians are willing to stake the 1916 campaign the tariff They know the party will probably be defeated, but they al SO know that the organization will be provided with the sinews of war without which the standpat ele ments cannot maintain their control the machine

CAUSE UPON CAUSE

Every renewal Of effort to bring about peace in Europe brings home the fact that ,ha which are holding the nations in determined line against each other have less and less to do with the conditions which brought about the war At the very of the nct Che violation of Che rights of Belgium completely submerged the issue between Austria and Serbia. Mill
 lions Of people who violent partsans upon side or the other could not give inking of what the first dispute was about But other issues have been piled upon the Belgium issue Japan and Italy brought new questions into t The capture of the German col onies has raised questions and the fate of the Dardanenes has now become matter of tremendous moment while beyond all these there stands the ques ton of indemnity. Just long as the war lasts so long will this question of who shall pay become more and more important It has been computed that the interest upon Cermanys debt will amount to more than the amount the ordinary revenue the Empire before the beginning and the other countries are in similar condition Germany triumphant would lay the whole burden upon the Allies. but Germany, defeated would be loaded with this load and a tremen dous burden added by the hand of the victor and this question made wholly by the war has become one of the most important issues of the war.

 It must be admitted by all of us who have seen Alaska grow that the people of the Territory have toe often permitted themselves an indulgence in exagger aon One of the surest signs of weakness is the lack of restraint in expression. We have had orators and writers bless the mark whose sole stock in trade has been forid bombast that can be compared to the fab by gas bombs as opposed to the penetrating but less evident shrapnel The newspaper portion of Al aska's life has suffered in reputation by this failing but marked improvement is discernabe as the Ter ritory develops. There is becoming apparant greater desire write and speak up to the people who count rather than to speak and write down to the others and this in spite of the very great temptations beset ting one at every turn.

COAL MAY SOON BE LEASED

(Cordova Times)
 It is gratifying to know that Mir. George w. Evans has completed his detailed observations of the Boring Coal field with view of separating the field into work able units and that his report will be submitted to the Secretary of the Interior by the middle of November As Secretary Lane is working form of lease of the coal lands of Alaska that he hopes will result in open ing up for development this great natural resource there is every reason believe that before the end of the year our orepeated prayer of "Let mine our coal" will have been answered. And when t is the real development of the Territory will begin.
 What this will mean to Cordoya and the Copper River valley is not fully appreciated by those who are unfamiliar with the fact that this section is contribute ing in copper ore alone to the mineral output of Alaska than all othr parts of the Territory combined The Bonanaza and Jumbo mines are now producing copper that is worth from S1.50O0OO to S2O0OOOO a month. The glance about $225 ton, the concen trates about S175 and the shines about S45 per ton There other properties along the railroad that will be on a shipping basis as transportation facilities and cheaper fuel are provided.
 The ore from the mines on Prince William Sound makes perfect Aux with the interior glance and the extra cost of the haul to Tacoma will be done away just as soon as Alaska coal is mined and marketed which means the immediate erection of big shelter at Cordova.
