Building an Island.

Hawaiian soil is being used to build
up the small coral island in the Pa
citic known as Midway and used as q
relay station by the Commercial Pa.
cihc Gable company. A quantity is
taken there every three months by the
schooner that is sent with food sup
plies for the operators. The task Of
building the island has progressed so
far that it is possible to keep COW
at pasture.

Aluminium In Abundance.

Although aluminium was almost I'M
known only a few years ago. it is now
declared by the United States geolog
ical survey to be the most abundant
Of metals. In the form of it's oxide it
constitutes about - per cent of the
earths crust. Within Il generation it
has been so extensively exploited and
developed that its price has fallen from
$11 or SIS a pound to 20 cents.

Until recently 20 per cent to so per

the Hawaiian factories was thrown
away as useless. Furnaces are now
being installed which burn this mo-.
lasses, the heat going to furnish steam

Death of w. H. Reichard

A telephone message was re-
ceived in Roman early Tuesday
morning from the residence of
w. H. Reichard, south of the
Round Butte, announcing the
sudden death of William H.
Reichard at the family home
about 3 o'clock that morning. It
seems that the deceased had
worked in the field the day be-
fore and upon quitting work in
the evening complained of not
feeling we'll and Mrs. Reichard
assisted him in caring for the
team. He retired early and a
little before 3 o'clock woke up
and got up to go to the kitchen
to get a drink of water but sud-
denly fell to the floor and died
at once. Word was sent to town
and DR.. Fuhrer made a hurried
trip but death had preceded him
and there was nothing medical
aid could do.
One of his neighbors has sent
the Pioneer the following tribute:
The many friends of Mr..
William H. Reichard were in
expressably shocked and grieved
by his sudden death on Septem-
Der IL. Mr.. Reichard was fifty
seven years of age and a native
of Iowa. He came here with
his family at the opening of the
reservation in 1910, being one of
the first settlers to establish a
home in the valley. A genuine
old fashioned gentleman of ster-
ling qualities, he was universally
loved and respected by those who
knew him, and his influence will
long be felt in the community
he helped so much to build up.
He is survived by his wife Mrs.
Mary Reichard, Clarence Reich
ard, a son, of this place, and one
brother and sister in Iowa.
The funeral services were held
at the residence yesterday MORN
ing at 8 o'clock, Rev. E. D.
Swisher of the Roman Methsdist
church, preaching the sermon.
Burial was in the Poison ceme-
terry. A large number of neigh
bors and a great many from Ro-
nan attended the funeral.

Better Stop 1t

Wl1N1 . ASOl1S%A 0AAOAAN w DNAAOs
For too long a period it was over
whether the town should be built
on one side or the other of Spring
creek, but now it has changed
and there is talk by some of
moving to the railroad, wherever
that is going to be.
This last talk is more damag-
ing to the interests of the town
and everyone owning property
here than all the other disasters
which have overtaken the town.
The many fires which have all
but destroyed the town, the bick-
erings and jealousies, the pull
ing down and tearing up, all sink
into insignificance along side Of
this latest move being made to
damage the material interests
and prosperity of the town.
Any effort to move Roman to
the railroad at this time would
appear particularly ill advised
when analysed. In the first
place there are too many people
here at the present time who
have everything invested in town
property-homes for themselves
and families. Others have al
most all they have invested in
business property and it would
be crime to rob them of their
all merely to wreak a vengeance
on some one with whom there
has not been the most cordial
business relations. The property
loss would be about $2OO,OOO and
would bring disaster to almost
every man and woman in Roman.
Then there is another feature
which should receive consider
alton and that is where the water
supply is to come from should
the town be moved a mile or so
farther from the mountains.
Even now, it is said we are un-
able financially to build a system
to supply the town in it's present
location. If this is true, then
how could we build a water sys-
tenn that much farther from the
source Of supply? This is a most
important matter to consider and
those who might consent to move
their homes and business should
give it serious thought.
Fortunately, the one man
whom it might be expected
would favor a move, is said to
strenously object, and that man
IS A. M. Sterling. Mr.. Ster-
ling's business is located the
farthest from the proposed To-
cation of the railroad and if any,
one could be supposed to favor
moving, it should be expected of
him. He is said to have ex-
pressed his intention to stay
where he is, and if that state
ment is true then Mr.. Sterling
should be congratulated on his
fealty and loyalty to the town
which he has helped materially
during all it's building. Those
here who can i'll afford to lose all
they have invested in Roman will
not forget his attitude in this
matter.
But let's forget this strife and
get down to business and build a
bigger and better Roman right
here where it now stands. There
is room here for all and those to
come. There is no good reason
why the town should be divided
against itself. That old adage,
"a house divided against itself
cannot stand" is very applicable
at the present moment and the
fault will be all our own should
we fall. Let's get together and
resolve to stay where we are.
Let's build a system of water
works to give us protection
against fire and supply pure
water for domestic use. Let's

As the ofccc of this paper k Scccond to none inI Alaska in the matter of upo-date equipment, u IS ourI intention Co publish the best and most interesting weekly paper in the territory and when patrons demonstrate satisfaction that they support and luSlN the publication of irstcass weekly paper the matter of changing it to a daily will be taken up This paper was the last in Alaska to discard what is called the patent inside and that was done only three months ago. Up o this issue 1t had always been printed an army press, the most crude and antiqatcd of all printing machinery
 To build and equip the new home of this paper has ncccSSitacd the outlay of large sum of money This would not have been done had not been fully con viuccd that the field justified such expenditure. Since taking over the ownership of the paper six months ago we have added two hundred names to the subscrp- ton list little as had to offer in the way of paper Between now and the first of January, 1918 one thousand
 more names will be added to that list and to start that campaign we are making the following unprecedented offer:
 An new subscribers having their names entered on our books between and January lSt l9l1 on the payment of the reg Tar yearly subscription price, three dollars will be rccciptcd to January st 1918 thus obtain ing if they subscribe now, fourteen and half months for the price of twelve months If you already SubScrb crto the paper have 1t friend who interest ed in the country
 We have invested all the money had and all we could borrow right here in Douglas and we respectfully ask your liberal support both in the way of subscription and advertising. We now have ample equipment for the publication of good daily paper but until it is demon Stratcd that Douglas Island support good weekly it would be uuwSc Co incur the expense incident to the publication of a daily.

PRICE OF PAPER STILL SOARING

One of the last acts of the United States Senate be- fore adjoWnng recently to adopt resolution di- rectng the Federal Trade Commission to investigate the soaring increase in the price of print paper Just what will result from the investigation remains to be seen
 In the meantime the price of paper is still advancing For example, Everybody knows the quality of paper on which laundry slips printed ordinary yellow Manila paper One year ago that quality of paper sold for cents per pound Today it is 16 cents per pound and all other brands and qualities of paper have advanced in pro- portion And yet when the printer quotes price com mensurae with the advance in the cost of material the customer invariably replies with, ''Why, only paid much for similar order six months ago.
 People do not appear to understand the advance in printing material which is a commodity the any other merchandise. Three weeks ago eggs were selling in Douglas at 35 cents per dozen Now they selling at D and will probably be 60 within a week Yet the customer does not hold up his her hands in holy hor TOT at the grocer The egg diet may be slightly reduced but they will eat eggs just the same.
 All over the United States newspapers and periodi- calls are reducing the number of their pages and at the time raising their subscription prices They have to- do or get out of business This paper is effected the the others by the increased prices of material but all ask of patrons is to pay the advanced cost of the material used in their orders We not advanc ing profit cent any job turned out and we giving patrons much larger paper at the same price as formerly charged for the smaller More than that, offering the larger paper from now - til the first of January, 1918 for the price of one years subscription. This is being done for the purpose of m- creasing our circulation to point where advertisers will recognize it as the best advertising medium in Alaska
 It was the merchant prince John Wannamaker who. said The weekly newspaper IS the best advertising me- dm there is for the that issue of weekly paper is always read until its along al week later whereas daily paper is back number the day after it is printed" 4

FURRED TONGUE NO PROOF
Why It Is Supposed to Indicate Diges.
tive Disturbance Never Has
Been Explained.

Just why furred tongue is sup
posed to be an indication of a dis
turbance of the digestive apparatus
has never been explained. The Medi-
cal Record calls to mind "the respected
(and feared) spinster in our commu-
nifty a good many years ago who had
her own opinion about doctors. Urged
to consult one of their fraternity
when little indisposed. she would re-
pei the suggestion with scorn. All
they do she would say, is to say.
Lets see your tongue. How's your
bowels? Two dollars, please.
The editor says he has known physi-
clans of the old school who could d.
agnose a case by looking at the
tongue, Just as he has known physi-
clan who could diagnose" a case
of pneumonia in a child he had never
seen before when he got ten feet away
from the bed. And what is more, he
could tell which side 1t was on and
even designate the lobe affected in
some cases."
OF course this is sarcasm. The edi-
tor is ridiculing the furred tongue as
q symptom of trouble in the digestive
apparatus.

Days Fighting.

London, June 13.-From the wood
ed region of southwest Russia to the
Rumanian frontier the Russians are
keeping up tLeir tremendous offens
i've against the AustroHungarians
who have been reinforced on several
sectors by Germans. The advance Of
the Russians is notable for the large
number of prisoners taken and the
enormous captures of guns, machine
guns, ammunition and other war
stores.
In the week that has elapsed since
they first threw their attacks against
the Austrians, the Russians report
that they have captured approximate
ly 100000 officers and men and
forced back the organized lines of
their antagonists from the region OF
the Volhynian fortress triangle to Ru-
mania. Having previously captured
Lutsk, the Russians now have retaken
Dubno. the second of the fortresses in
the volhynian triangle held by the
Austrians. and are pressing the re-
treating Austrians westward. In Ga
licia and Bukowina progress also has
Austrians admit the withdrawal of
their forces in northeastern Buko-
wilma. The Austrians all along the bat
tie front are putting up a stubborn
resistance, especially east of Kolki,
lying to the north of Lutsk, where
they have forced back Russian ad.
vanced elements across the Styr river
and in the region Of Torgovitsky, at
Styr. south of Lutsk.
Three German infantry attacks on
Hill 304 at Verdun were repulsed Sat
