be too hazardous a thing to surrender
 these resources to local control or disposal for those who have lived in any new country know how great the
 temptation is to grant away water
 front and power sites forests and
 other exceptional resources To those
 who come offering large sums for
 quick improvement. Yet this should
 not drive us into a policy that makes
 slow administration a necessity. The confusion in administrative action in Alaska Is well known. l have tried to give It currency that 1t might
 hasten the establishment of some method of co-ordinated control of Al askan affairs. primarily in the hands of resident commission, but always in touch with and responsive to the
 wish of congress and the president through one of the departments. That land has a mysterious charm. a pull which affects all who see 1t, and those too, who only know indirectly of its largeness, It's grandeur and its econ omic possibilities. This could not be better illustrated than by the number of applications for places which were received by the Alaskan engineering commission. When that body left for Alaska In the spring the number was over 9s,o00. and most of those who applied were not out of work but already held positions with railroads, in banks, on farms. or in some city shop They wished a taste of the large fife of this new land. There are many whom will make Alaska richer by their presence and find happiness in searching out the land. And strongly would I urge that the standpoint of he government should continue enc of sympathetic cooperation.

with cheaply dumped goods, The New York Globe incidentally calls atten- ton to Il chance for us to do some dumping:
 Russia for a generation has beer an enconomic dependency of Germany Now Russia, forced to manufacture at home what formerly was imported. Is being industrialized as never before. It would seem as if Germany has lost her best customer for all time, and that even though Germany and Aus trla should win, never again will Rus sia be an outlying business province of the German empire.
 More than quarter of a million native troops from India are fighting for Great Britain in various theaters of war-fighting and many of them dying alongside white colonials anu peers of the realm. Afterward, can these dark co-defenders of the em pire be held in the disesteem of the past can they be barred from full pal ticipation by a color line? The opinion of one of them as expressed in foreign print Is worth quoting:
 In the new vison of a free united empire, India will claim a place of equality in council and camp. Hel soldiers are soldiers Of the king; they will not be satified until the kings commission entities them to lead in war as faithfully and gallantly as they have hitherto followed.

NEW MINING LAW NEEDED IN
 ALASKA.
Exchange

Secretary of Interior Lane in his annual report speaks of the necessity of new set of mining laws. He says:
 "The old code Is so elaborate and complicatd that the best brains can not tell what the law Is. The truth seems to be that between mining en gineers and mining lawyers the rules of the game have been refined into obscurity. And If congress were tC say to the president that he might select three men familiar with mining laws and miners difficulties to suggest a new mining code to congres, 1t would, l believe. be giving in earnest new freedom to the mining indus- ".
 Then, too, there is the matter of the further development of Alaska. That land Is a long way oh. It would

NOME, ALASKA. FEB. 2e, 1916.


 President Wilson seem, to nave stirred up a vast deal Of fuss back in Washington by his persistence Tn clinging to the view that ,mericane are justified in putting into any kind of danger just because a dubious law, which IS recognized more in the breaSh than ln the observance says they he,ve a right 10 do so.
 According to the dispatches, neither congress nor the dictates of discre- ion can move him from the view that the citizens of this great land of the tree and the home of the brave have a perfect right to roam the broad areas of Gods footstool in any manner they choose as long as they are within the terms of that much abused code Of international conduct known as the International law.
 This view Is all right in a general sense but at the same time 1t takes little regard for the possible conse- quences of allowing the untamed American to go gallivating around where there is lots of trouble on hand. That Germany will be pro- voking both the moral and information al law in the event that she persists in her intention of sinking unwarned all armed merchant ships of the bel ligerents, passenger vessels and all goes without dispute.
 Such action Is indefensible. Neither Germany nor any other nation has either the moral or legal right to de- liberately destroy human life on the mere score of being unable to carry on a certain line of conduct without doing so and We cannot blame the president for trying to dissuade her from enforcing her decree. But at the same time We doubt the wisdom of his refusal to consider congressional measures which will tend to prevent Americans from exposing themselves to danger when there Is no need to do so. Germany has agreed to re. spect the passenger carrying vessels of belligerents provided they carry no arms so we cannot See the sense of insisting that Americans shall ha ner- mitted to travel on vessels which are armed and therefore liable to attack We will concede the right of the Am erican to proceed anywhere he wants to, on any ship that he wants to, at any time that he wants to. The in- ernational law gives him that right and We may also agree that the prin- ciple is right but what Is the use of allowing him to employ that right to the possible detriment of his coun- try and the destruction of thousands Of his countrymen.
 This is what Is very liable to follow if the president continues in his op- position to congressional enactments which will tend to lessen If not com pletely dlssipate all possibilities of harm resulting to the nation as a | reult of the unheeding or deliberate acts of individual citizens abroad

Tax Paying
Season Over
MORE THAN ONE-HALF ARE
Larger Taxpayers Only Pay Half Now Believed
Delinquent Tax Roll will Be Light

The work of tax collecting has
been finished for this time and
the treasurer is busy fixing up
his books and making out re-
ceipts for the taxes which came
iii at the last moment.
II is impossible at this time
for him to make a statement of
the amount received but it is in
the neighborhood of $4,000.
The total tax roll turned over to
him was $4,000, exclusive of
personal property. All of the
arge taxpayers and most of the
others who paid within the past
few days, took advantage of the
provision which permits of the
paying of one-half Of the taxes
at this time and as considerable
more than One-half of the total
tax has come in, the treasurer
does not think that there will be
la very large delinquent tax roll
left. Just what it will amount
10, however, cannot be told un-
til the books are checked up.
The question of the Milwaukee
'ailroay company tax is giving
he treasurer some trouble. The
company sent a check covering
its taxes in the county except the
Plummer Highway tax, which it
refuses to pay. The treasurer
has been advised that the proper
course of the railroad company,
if it thought the Plummer High
way tax illegal, was to have paid
il under protest, as the O. w. r.
& N. did, and if the courts should
hold it illegal, it could be re-
covered from the county.
The question that is troubling
the treasurer is whether he car
accept a part of the tax and not
all of it and whether, if he re-
fuses to accept it, the company
property becomes delinquent. He
has asked County Attorney Elder
or a written opinion on the
question.

went at once to the Mcmillan
boarding house, where he was
stopping when here before.
His actions were very peculiar
and Mrs Mcmillan called up the
lsheriff's Office and asked to have
him removed. Deputy Delaney
went to the boarding house and
got him and Monday he was
again taken before the probate
Icourt. He said that when he
arrived in Minneapolis he was
met at the train by his brother
and an officer and was taken to
Jail. Later he was taken to an
other large building where he was
kept four or five weeks. The
sheriff there then bought him a
ticket and sent him back here.
Judge Holman did not think
his condition was such as to war
him being sent to the insane asy-
lum but as he is sick and in no
condition to take care of himself
he was ordered sent to the county
poor farm.

Receive Decision
In Buck Case
SUPREME COURT SUSTAINS JUDGE dunn
Refuses To Grant Writ OF Mandate. Decision viii
Probably End The Litigation

Word was received Friday that
the Supreme Court had rendered
a decision in the case of E. H.
Buck against the st. Maries
School Board, approving the de-
cision Of the lower court refus-
ing Mr.. Buck a writ of mandate
to compel the board to reinstate
lin as superintendent of the st.
Maries schools.
In 1914, just prior to the time
the old board went out of office,
il entered into what was alleged
to be a three year contract with
Mr.. Buck to act as superintend-
ent of the city schools. The
sew board elected at this time
was opposed to him but under
his contract he entered upon his
duties and served as superintend-
lent during the school year OF
t9t4-15.
When it came time to elect
teachers for the school year OF
li9i5-16, members of the board
tried to get Mr.. Buck to resign,
lis resignation to take effect at
the close Of the school year but
nc refused Under the alleged
contract the salary for the year
lI9f5-i6 was to be fixed at the
:me the other teachers were
elected. The board offered Mr.
Buck a salary of twelve hundred
dollars a year, about two-thirds
i)f the salary he was receiving
lHe refused to accept the reduc-
ion and the board proceeded tC
ldeclare the position vacant anC
detected q new superintendent.
Mr.. Buck then brought an ac.
ion in the district court asking
1.-The court for a writ of mandate
TO compel the board of director
to reinstate him as superintend
ent. The school board, through
Its attorney, demurred to the pc
l tition on the ground that it di
E mot state a cause of action.
4 The petition was attacked o.
= several grounds, one being tina
= the statute relied upon by tn
=. petitioner had been repealed an
4 that under the law the board ha
e so authority to make a cOntraC
a for a longer period than on
e year. Another ground Of de
nurrer was that the alleged con
