ALAsKA's RECORD

As an evidence of the value to the nation of it's greatest unde- yeIoDed territory, the statement or Alaskas resources and growing commerce made by the Alaska bu- reau of the seattle chamber of Commerce should be amply sufti- cient to warrant liberal treatment in the way of congressional apPro- Driations for future development. A district, still in ita wild state, -ha.--hol.- graduCsd O. nuaCtsr of a claim 10 liberal treatment. A pOpu- Iatiou of less than 10000 people that produced a s63,675,OOO com merce in 1914 and S7S,O0O,O ,OO0 commerce in 1915 cannot be ignored in their claims for national sup port in further development, A
 territory that hag enriched the Un- tied States in excess of $5O0,OOO,- O0O over and above all cost to our government should not be required to beg for encouragement to furtb- CT progress that only the federal government may give,
 The present needs of Alaska to- tal approximately S1O,5OO,OOO. The government railway construction requirements will consume more than $S,OOO,OOO of this total, while roads, fisheries, mineral surveys and public land surveys make up the remainder. It Is a small sum when the possibilities of the great territory are cousidered, and it is all investment that will return it's value many fold to the people of the United States.
 Seattle is doing its best to ac- quaint the country with Alaska needs, feeling that a statement of the urgency of the situation, the material facts, should be sufficient to bring the relief desired. Ap- peals are going forward to con- gressmeu and Seattle merchants are writing to their business con nectons in the East, urging sup port. ,I.,i
 The Alaska bureau of the Cham Der of Commerce has asked that citizens generally appeal for sup port to influential friends in the East. If these duties are ade- quately met, and seattle's spirit will surely see to this, there should be no doubt of final success and of the beginning of a new era in Alaska's greatest development - Seattle P.-I.

Today Is the Daily Alaskan's birthday.
 Eighteen years ago today, amid the hurry and bustlo and rush Of the human tide which was surg ing through this valley to the gold fields of the KIondike, the first issue of this pioneer news paper was published, and 1t was then, as it has been ever since, a banner Of progress for the peo- pie of the pOrthland to rally around and a recorder of the historic events in the development of this great new territory,
 Every working day for eighteen years. nearly half that time, under its present management, the Daily Alaskan has appeared and kept it's readers in touch with world events and played its proper part in watching and working for the best interests of the people of skag- way.
 We have urged and aided every moyeneu- for the upbutlding of this city and for the growth Of the industries of Alaska.
 It is the spirit of this newspa- Der to look forward and nor back but looking backward for few moments ou this, our natal day, one thing stands out above all the loyal and generous, sometimes even lavish support and patronage which has been accorded this news paper by cur many friends, mclud- ing almost the entire populace of skagway, and particularly the re- liable business men of the com muuity who have stood with us yoar after year .n all that We have tried to do to make skagway a larger and bette. town. We extend to every patron oi the past years our siacerest thanks for their help and encouragement.
 And now, looking forward again, We ask and invite all to join us in another year of proTess-an- other year of boosting for skag- way and Alaska and the Yukon another year of earnest and cheer ful service to the best interests of all the people of this vast re zion of gold and golden opPortuni- ties. Let all skagway keep in step anI cooperate in harmony to make this opening year one of the most prosperous that our town has ever seen.
 To our many friends and to all who are working for better and greater Alaska We wish to say: The Daily Alaskan is always with you and for you.

both Frenchmen, who were In com

The largest number of the duels
which were fought in the United States
took place in the neighborhood of Nor

which is near the city of Washing

DvELS IN The navy
They Were Frequent and Deadly

HONOR WAS Then A FETISH.

In Those Days Challenge Was Hold to

and tho Victims Of tho Field Of Com

The number. of United States naval
officers killed in duels in the half cen
tury from 1798 to 1848 was two-thirds
the number Of officers who lost their
lives in the naval wars Of the United
States in that same period.
In the eighty-two duels which were
fought in that period thirty-six NEIL
were killed, of whom thirty-thre were
naval officers. OF those who were not
killed in those naval duels one-half
were wounded.
In those days Of the old navy the
duel was held to be sort Of 1ndist
pensable diploma for the naval officers
Men were sensitive as to their honor.
and very fantastic were their notions
as to the necessity Of its defense.
Duels were fought between officers
high in rank and more often between
the m1dshipmen. The commissioned
officers dealt with these "affairs Of
honor" between the youngsters with
pompous solemnity.
Verses were printed upon their VIC
tms In the literary journals Of the day,
and their relatives caused epitaphs in
the Johnsonian style to be placed upon
their tombs. Occasionally duels as

they became small wars.

tho Americans and the British officers
who were connected with the garri-
son at Gibraltar fought duels so ire
quently that the governor prohibited
the harbor to American ships.

j Once a MILDLY amused himself by
sprinking letter that another MILDLY
was writing. Thereupon the letter
writer sprinkled the waistcoat Of the
offender with the contents Of the ink

each other in duel.
That the number of deaths and seri-
Gus wounds in these duels was SO great
is not surprising in view of the fact
that the distance between the CON-
batants measured about thirty feet.
A marksman Of fair ability could hit
his adversary at that distance with
out much trouble if his nerves were
