ALAsKA's RECORD.

As an evidence of the value to the nation of it's greatest undeveloped territory, the statement of Alaska's resources and growing commerce mad by the Alaska bureau of the Se- attle Chamber of Commerce should be amply sufficient to warrant liberal treatment in the way of congression- al appropriations for future devel- opment.
 A district still in it's wild state, that has produced quarter of billion in gold, should have some claim to liberal treatment. A population of less than 40,000 people that produced a s63,675, 900 commerce in 1914 and a $73,0OO,00O commerce in 1915 can not be ignored in their claims for na- tional support in further develop ment. A territory that has enriched the United States in excess of $500,- O00,OO0 dyer and above all cost to our government should not be re- quired to beg for encouragement to further progress that only the federal government may give.
 The present needs of Alaska total approximately $10,5o0,o00.. The gov ernment railway construction require ments will consume more than $S.- O0O,O00 of this total, while roads, Aohorioe ,ninara1 auryevs and nuh1ic land surveys make up the remainder.

It is a small sum when the possibili- ties of the great territory are cons;d- cred, and 1t is an investment that will return it's value many fold to the people of the United States.
 Seattle is doing it's best to acquaint the country with Alaska's needs, feel ing that 8 statement of the urgency |of the situation, the material facts, should be sufficient to bring the re- lief desired. Appeals are going for ward to congressman and Seattle mer- chants are writing to their business connections in the East, urging sup port.
 The Alaska Bureau of the Chamber |of Commerce has asked that citizens generally appeal Tor support to influ- ential friends !n the East. If these duties are adequately met, and Seat ties spirit will surely see to this, there should be no doubt of final sue cess and of the beginning of a new era in Alaska's greatest development.

PAPA NOT BLOOD HUNGRY.

It is said of the 50,000 German troops now around Brussels that most of them are of the Landstrum and consequently around fifty years of age.
 There has been a great change in the appearance of the German troops in Brussels since the early days of the war. The first troops who occu- pied the capital were beardless youths as straight as ramrods with mono cled officers in immaculate uniforms. The troops there today are mustached or bearded, many of them decidedly over weight, with spectacled officers In ill-fitting uniforms.
 Nearly every one of the soldiers talks about how many children he has at home and how anxious he is to get back to his fireside. They are a homesick lot, the present occupants of Brussels, and as we'll behaved and orderly set of men as one could find the world over.
 An, yes papa, we know you. You are not at all anxious to slay the foe: The old home fireside, the Christmas tree, the children and bit of peace and a chance to smoke and talk it over with the neighbors-those are the things you wish. We call 1t sen- sihle..
 And if these kindly old fellows should meet at the front they would have to set steadily to work killing one another. It is the last thing they wish to do. How pleasantly, despite the accident of birth or nationality, they would sit down together and. talk. What a foolish, wasteful and wicked ragedy!-Minneapol Jour- nal.

Secretary Lane Expects Railroad to Be Bringing Matanuska Coal

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. B. Secretary Lane has announced that the officials of the department of the Interior are making good progress in working out the terms upon which the coal lands of Alaska will be leas- ed and says that definite information will be given to the public at an early date.

For this r:'' son he Is anxious that the lands be leased as early as possible in ord Y that the opening of the coal mines may begin.
 It is reported that applications for leases on coal lands in Alaska hav' been received from all parts of the country. by the general land office here and that scores of applicafio.s for leases have been filed with the land office in Juneau.

Sir'--A suggestion to increase the
taxes now paid by the people Of this
city seems to be what some would
approve to make up any deficiency IN
our revenues, II the amount realized
from our present rate of taxation Is
not sufficient to meet our demands
common sense and good business dis

solution OF the difficulty. viz An ade-
quate reduction Of expenditures. OF
course. there may be some expendi-
lures which are bound to be made. be-
cause contracts requiring them have
been entered into and have to bs car

In other directions these expenditures
could be readily met without placing
any additional burden on the people,

been afflicted with an enormous in
crease in our taxes by the enlarged
assessments, which were made In 1915.
and which We're, in many instances.

To now increase the taxes would be

the very verge Of utter ruin and dis

individual would ne deemed insane
who began to be more extravaganza
or, who did not cut his expenditures
to square with his income az far
as he could do so. Why should not
the city be governed and controlled
by the same policy-the same common
sense?. Our city managers should
bring the expenditures within the linz

Virginia with fifty elk, and the an
finals will be sent to the State some
time next month and placed In the

of the Department of Game and In

have the government furnish tho elk

tanned its agreement
Commissioner Parsons has not de-
eided just where he will place the
elk when they are received. The num-
Der will be equally divided between
the two systems of mountains. but 1t
is likely that part will be liberated In
Giles County. and the balance near
Roanoke. The State Of Virginia
stands all costs in connection with
catching the animals and transport
