ENTRIES CLOSE
next SATURDAY
CANDIDATES FOR MUNICIPAL OF
FICE MUST BE IN RUNNING BY
CLOSE OF WEEK. 500 VOTERS
REGISTERED.

Entries for the municipal primary
will be closed Saturday and those who
expect to have a hand in the Office
holding for the next two years must
have their names before the people
by that time. Ten days from Satur-
day the primary will be held
No very strong intimation has been
given by any new prospect either for
mayor or council and unless things
take a new turn there will be no other
new entry.
But it is not certain as yet that
the close will be reached with things
standing as they are. There may be
more, for there could hardly be a
more strongly expressed interest than
at present.
Friends of all candidates are deep
ly interested and are at work. The
final ten days promise much hustling
on all sides.
The registration books have been
closed and the number listed there is
$685. This list makes up the entire
number that will have to do with the
naming of a mayor and three members
of council for the next two years.

AT GEORGIA STATE FAIR-ONLY
BIG COUNTIES NEXT AHEAD.

Crisp county won third prize at the
state fair this week in the Georgia
corn club department. Coffee county
took first prize and Wayne county took
second prize. The fact that Crisp
county boys took third place is by
no means bad. County Demonstra-
ton Agent J. A. Johnson and the boys
Of his club are happy over the results.
They wanted first prize, but feel that
they were going hard to win third
prize, since there was such fine show
ing made at the fair from all parts of
the state.
Their showing is a matter of graft
fication among the club members and
among the farmers of the county, Mr..
Johnson and the boys will work har-
der next year to carry away better
prize.
Following is the prize list:
Coffee county, first prize, SO boys

For such as to do.

Though time and tide its secret vale,

A joy that l would gain;
In this my soul is confident,
My heart will not refrain.
Though the angry pillows roll,
Briney waters lash my soul;
My hope and faith shall never fail

THERE WILL COME A TIME.

It IS often said that "God helps those who help themselves and We don't know but what it is so. However, when those who help themselves do their helping at the expense of others it is in our mind question whether God will help them to hold that which they have helped themselves to.
 For year or more, the Juneau people have de voted a great deal of energy in effort to have both the lighthouse and forestry services removed from Ketchikan to Juneau, and apparently they are still working at it. As though Juneau hadn't it's share of federal offices As though Juneau offered any advantages in climate location in anything else Other than being the Capital of Alaska and having big mines, Juneau possesses not single redeaming feature. Ketchikan has the climate fishing industry immense forest agricultural advantage easy to all the waters of Alaska the first port of entry into the country where the headquarters of customs house department should be-and last but not least, more promising mining center than Juneau ever had or ever will have From that may we'll ask what reason or excuse those people can have to want to "hog it all?"

ALASKA TRADE.
(Post-Intelligencer.l


 The importance of the Alaska business to Se- atte is emphasized in the commercial reports for the month of April which show export business from Seattle amounting to S3.s63115 50 per cent increase the record of the same month year ago. Exports for April 1915 totaled s2,453161. More than 100000 worth of the exports consisted of materials and machinery for the salmon canneries For the government railway s22000 worth of fiat sent north During the month 125,O00 dozen eggs and 113000 pounds of butter shipped from Seattle to the territory.
 Seattle had average saings of two ships day to Alaska during last month, and the saings this month will exceed that average. Passenger traffic has also increased greatly Every Alaska boat leaving here during the last six weeks has carried a capacity load of passengers While many of these can nerymen and Alaska citizens who spent the winter the outside there has been substantial movement of travellers who making their first trip and who intend to make their permanent hopes in the North.
 The present year is to make record for Seattle Alaska trade A great period of development is now but fairly commencing, and each recurring season should mark great advance in the bulk of business transacted.

COLOSSAL INFLUENCE.

Seattle Tmes)
 The testimony of the German submarine command CT and theevdence obtained through Investigations ducted by representatives of this country abroad have established beyond the shadow of doubt that tor pedo damaged the cross-channe liner Sussex.
 There is doubt in the mind of the Teutonic gov ernment that one of it's divers attacked the vessel If It had entertained any questioning on this point it would not have answered Wilson's note in the manner that it did Instead, data would have produced to demonstrate that the passenger carrier ran on a mine and the accident to the Sussex would have been used to cover up and excuse other mysterious ex- plosons resulting in the destruction of merchant ses
 In refusing, at this late hour, to assume respon- slbllty for the torpedoing of the passenger craft Germany is exhibiting colossal nerve. In endeavorinp to mpeaeh the reliability of the statements made bv American diplomatic officials abroad, it is displaying colossal impudence

TOO CONFIDENTIAL

There is an evident tendency here among the mining men to be confidential" if not silent about mines and mining in general They seem to fear to give out anything for publication As though the mention of the possibility of prospect will nJure their chance of making millions.
 It is true that Alaska in general and this precinct in particular has been retarded by too much hot air Yet we can keep before the public the fact that we have mines here without enarging their possibilities. We can mention the fact that have splendid pros poets without adding that we have splendid mines Thera.is vast difference between prospect and a azx4 Rng prospects mines is what retarded this
