Forecasts for the Coming Years"
was the subject Of the address made
by the Rev. A. G. Ernst to the pupils
who graduated from the Grammar
school into the Keokuk high school
this afternoon. Rev. Ernst spoke Of
the chances afforded to gain an edu-
cation, and told of the worth of such
an education. In addressing the. SIad-
yates, he said that he recognized the
importance of the occasion and the
bearing that It would have in after
years. He said he was not going to
present thoughts for the purpose of
of diction, but that he intended to pre-
sent few thoughts Of Importance to
the members of the class.
He told the story of Mark Twain's
about the doctor and the European
guide. The guide showed the doctor
some writing. which he said was some
of the handwriting of the great Chris
topher Columbus. The doctor looked
at II, and remarked that he had seen
boys in school write better than that.
To the guide it was not the penman-
ship which was attractive. but the
fact Of the greatness Of the man who
wrote the letter. The speaker said
he intended to present his subject to
the class not so much for it's style.
but for some of the facts which he
thought would help them in the COM
ing years.
He described the tunnel which a
Greek king. Dionysious, had ordered
constructed for him, in the shape Of
huge human ear. The tunnel con-
nected the palace and the Jail. The
architects and builders were ordered
put to death by the king that the
architecture might not be divulged.
The tunnel proved. great whisper
ing gallery, and the king could learn

COMPARING NOTES IN RUN OF SALMON
 BETWEEN SEASONS
QUEER NOTION EXA MPLtFl D THAT PUZZLES EVERY
 FISHERMAN.

Scientists may have theories with witch they can explain the difference ,hat IS found in the run of salmon in NasAa. but it is hard for the average sherman to understand them. Can nerymen hereabouts have been some what troubled over the late run Of saImcn this year and many have eX- pressed the idea that this would prove a total failure. In order to ascertain the true condition. the Progressive Miner made a tour of the canneries with the results following:
 A year ago at this time, the Ketchi- kan Cannery had 94.000 cases put up. Six years ago at this time; that is to say. the sixth Of August, the Ketchi- kan Cannery started to run with its full crew. This year, the manage ment reports 32,0Oo put up.
 Al this time last year the Pure Food Cannery had 2S,000 cases, while this year only 5000 cases have been put up.
 The Northland Dock Company's eannery was not in operation last year as il was built only a short time ago. This cannery has now 10000 cases.
 The J. R. Beegle Co.'S cannery. com pleted only recently. reports about 1000 cases up. These canneries are all within the corporate limits. An other cannery just outside of the city limits. reported a day or two ago as having some 10000 cases. To the westward. the Cordova Times of the fourth instant. reports the fol lowing:
 The latest reports from the canner ies to the westward show that the sea. son is infinitely better than had been expected from the late start
 At Uyak the season is reported very good, and at Karluk they have more fish than they can handle.
 Captain Blodgett of Kodiak shipped 5000 cases on the Watson, and is get ting all the fish he can handle. Sutter. al Port Graham. has put uI 35.O00 cases and is running full ca pacity.
 The Columbia Salmon Company at Seldovia has put up 27.oo0 cases, and has all the fish it's two lines of ma chinery can prepare.
 Libby. McNeil and Libby at Kenai have put up 95,000 cases. The fish is very plentiful there.
 Superintendent Bushman. of the Deep Sea Salmon Company, has put up 10000 cases.
 The Northwestern Fisheries Com pany at Kenai is putting in a founda ton for a new plant in the place of the one recently burned. The steam ship Wellesley has been chartered to bring in the plant
 The Alaska Packers Association at Kasiloff have put up over 30000 cases All the canneries on Cook Inlet are getting full packs. Red fish are late but are still running. and the percent age Of the packs will be over 50 per cent reds.
 The Columbia Cannery Company at SeIdovia has had a full catch this year. and Manager E. F. Randolph has sent out for more cases 10 make the catch still greater.

Seward Postl

Seward PoStl
 SEWARD. Aug. - Dick Dougherty. who discovered coal near the line of the government railroad outside of the known limits of the Matanuska coal fields. has been given a free permit to mine 10 acres of the ground for two years by the land office.

SPENCE FAILS TO RESTORE
 OFFICE AFTER REMOVAL
Seward Post.l

Steward Post)
 District Attorney Spence has failed signally in his efforts to re-establish the district attorneys office at Sew ard Spence. after sending Judge Munley to Valdez called on Attorney Whittelsey, the remaining deputy, who was located here, to come to Valdez and work. He promised that this was only a temporary arrangement, and he would soon have a third deputy and would send one of the two back here.
 The assistant attorney general fig ured otherwise and suggested that the department abolish the office at Sew ard which has since been used by the deputy clerk.
 Spence put this off six months, but has just been forced by order from the same official to close the office. The deputy clerk is now located with City Magistrate Booker in the base ment of the Bank of Seward.

A Disguised Progressive.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Regarding Mr.. Hughess candidacy and
Mr.. Roosevelt's miserable failure at Chicago
permit me TO say as a Progressive that ] am
sick and Disguised with the Progressives. The
Frogressives' days as a political party are
numbered unless Mr.. Roosevelt decides TO
run, and decides soon. II only will go TO
show if the Progressiyes fail to secure Mr.
Roosevelt and fail to nominate strong can
Gidate that the party was a one-man affair
as charged. or course we Progressives all
wanted Roosevelt, but we wanted the Repub-
lican Endorsement as well. My kick is against
the convention of Progressiyes at Chicago,
which should have named him The first day.
Am to believe that Mr.. Roosevelt is a bluff
and braggart?
As between Hughes and Wilson there Is
little choice Both are Of a similar type.
However, Mr.. Hughes's record of achievement
leads one to believe that he means what he
saws. and in his letter of acceptance he speaks
critically of Mr.. Wilson's foreign policy and
especially of his INDIGESTION in Mexican al
fairs. Perhaps If he were elected We would
get some real action in Mexico. That is only
PERHAPS. Ii Roosevelt were elected il is a
dead certainty We would get action. That
is why was a Progressive. That is why
am so Disguised. PROGRESSIVE.

THE PROGRESSIVE VIEW.
The Will of the People Violated by the
Chicago Convention.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: For twenty-six years I have been a
Republican voter. In 1912 rebelled because
the will Of the people was violated, and be-
came Progressive Republican, voting for
Theodore Roosevelt. This year l shall either
write the name Of Theodore Roosevelt upon
the ballot that | cast or else stay away from
the polls altogether.
Although the delegates to the Republican
convention just closed were uninstructed it
was again the will Of the people that Theo-
dore Roosevelt lead the reunited Republican
party to victory at the polls next November.
But once again the bosses dominated said
convention and again refused to recognize
the only logical man for the honor at this
tine by reason of his firm stand for Ameri-
canism first last and all the time-ever
since the world war began.
Theodore Roosevelt created the issue Of
the present campaign, and to him. and him
alone, should have fallen the honor of op-
posing and defeating Woodrow Wilson at
the polls on November :, by reason of his
eminent fitness for the Presidency in these
acter would have upon all foreign nations,
compelling respect for the United States and
guaranteeing safety for its citizens upon land
or sea- with peace and honor for our glorious
country in place Of the chaos and death toll
of the last two years.
Although | am not in sympathy by any
means with the present Administration, due
to the fact that | am out and out for Amer
lea and America only, and for all the rights
and protection that citizens of these United
States are entitled to and should have and
would have under strong instead of weak
Administration, and while my business has
been taxed triply and unjustly in the second
son Administration, still | cannot bring my
self to favor Republican candidate who
positively know does not at this time rep
resent the popular will of the people
In my estimation, Mr.. Hughes, representing
the minority Of the Republican party. should
have stepped aside in favor of the man
representing the majority of the Republi-
can party, instead Of the reverse, which has
occurred. We needed Roosevelt to settle the
Mexican affair and our other foreign entan-
clements, regardless of whether it was his
third term or sixth term in Office under ex-
sting circumstances. Experience was what
was needed at this time and | doubt very
much if Mr.. Hughes will be able TO handle
the situation as it exists in any better shape
than the present Administration.
