WHAT IS HE ABOUT?

Reports from various sources keep coming Tn that a stranger-a foreigner is at Metlakatla Investigating the trouble that is causing great deal of feelings among the residents of that com munity. The cause of all the trouble is said to be due to the fact that the members of the younger element are tired of the old order of things and want to follow the tendency of their time-progress. This element is said to repre- sent ninety per cent of the population and by reason thereof, they claim the right to govern The other element, however, managed things so long that the members apparently believe that the lien they acquired in former years has finally reached a point where it matured into quit claim deed, and all they have to do is to get patent That is to say the members of the old faction have governed so long that they have be- come possessed of the idea that they have the right to govern forever after. This is objected to by the younger element. Hence the trouble But what has the stranger to do with the set clement of this dispute, is, that which nobody seems to be able to understand. This foreigner may have all the right in the world to pry into that business but we dare say that many would prefer that he shouldn't. Secretary Lane has this matter we'll in hand and being perfectly good secretary, the people would rather leave it to him.

It is impossible sometimes to avoid feeling that the government of the United is inclined to look at every man in Alaska as potentially thief and land grabber.

THE FISH TRAP AGAIN.

The recent decision by the district court per manently enjoining trap adjacent to Annette island contrary to proclamation by the presi- dent making these waters reserve for the Met lakatlans has been, on an appeal by the company suspended by the circuit court of appeals at San Francisco According to the order of the high court the company is required to give a bond. Meanwhile the company is allowed to finish the erection of it's trap and fish until the case has been reviewed The order was signed by the

three judges.
 Evidently. the judges of the circuit covrt oo appeals do not favor the decision of the lower court or at least can see that possible injus- tice has been done to the defendant in the case. The facts set forth before the court were looked into, otherwise, the court could not have issued the order of suspension of the lower courts de- cision. From that we may infer that the com panys acquired right prior to the presidents proclamation, will still be respected.

BOYCOTT GERMAN RESORTS.
II nssian Already Planning to Give
Preference TO French.

PARIS, Feb, 23-The Russians are al
ready planning 10 boycott German
Watering places after the war, says the
Figaro. and az a means 10 this end are
even now sending out Information con-
corning French resorts, An Information
bureau has been established In Paris.
and soon a party Of Russian physicians
will visit all the French watering places
outside the war zone.
The propaganda just issued states
that one of its reasons for existence is
the harsh manner in which Russian WIS.,
itors at German watering places We're
treated when war was declared. II saws
that confirmed invalIds were treated
with a severity that was quite unneces-
sary.
Although this movement appears to he
independent, II belongs in "a general
sense to the proposed anti-Teuton trade
alliance under which the Entente Allies
intend to give one another the preference
in all dealings after the war.

penditure never before dreamed OF In the
history OF the world John Bulls pockets
are still bullying with money. and he has
plenty more to spend. The fears OF
many persons early in the wal that
Britain would not be able to stand the
colossal financial strain OF a prolonged
struggle a not been borne out in
reality.
Here are the essential passages Of Mr..

equivalents FOR English money.
This is the sixth vote OF credit I
