ALASKA NOTES

Messrs. Henry M. Stowe and D. T. Smith, both of Cleveland, Ohio, who arrived in ketchikan recently from Warm Springs bay, via Juneau, gave the infor- nation toe tn Progressive Miner that "all arrangements had been made whereby potash as we'll as a pulp plant were to be estab- lished at Warm Springs bay, on Baranof island. MT. Stowe said ahat they had just returned from Warm Springs bay, where they had secured an excellent water power site for the plant and that early in the spring work On its construction would be carried on A standardization plant is in tended using the kelp from the vicinity for potash and timber for pulp"
 The Petersburg Report says that the halibut boat Eunice lost two men from dory during q sudden gale recently. The men had left the gasboat to fish and when the boat went to pick them up the dory was found floating bottom up. Both were natives of Norway and were 28 years of age. The victims were Edward Carlson and Jorgen Ramberg
 Ernest Nelson, who had been in the employ of the Treadwell mine for some time, disappeared from the deck of the launch St. Nicholas while making the trip to Tenakee. He had complain cd that it was too warm inside the cabin and had gone outside. There were IS passengers on board the launch and Nelson was not missed until the captain be- gan itaking up the fares until some time after Nelson had gone on deck. The supposition is that he either leaned too far over the rail and lost his balance or else deliberately jumped over when no one was looking.
 Protests have been filed in the Juneau land office against patent being issued to the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining company for patent to two millsites on Gastincau channel. The protest ants allegc that the mining com pany is trying to secure mon opoly of the Juneau water front, that the protestants have bees in possession of the property for more than three years and that the mining com pany does not need the millsites as it already has more than oooo feet of waterfront on Gastineau channel.

 It is understood that the gov ernment intends to encourage the development of the coal mines by individuals by giving to these individuals all the gov ernment orders it is possible for them to fill The same thing will be done insofar as the Nena- ma coal fields are concerned when the time comes for the gov- ernment to use coal on the Inter for end of the road.
 John Murphy, who is an oper- ator in the Totatlanika country, had narrow escape from death, according to the Alaska Citizen of April 24 Murphy was on his way to his summers work. About a mile above Whiskey is land, while following the trail across the Panama river, the ice suddenly sank beneath him and he sank into the water He threw out his arms quickly and managed to catch hold of some ice which was solid and held him He reports that he could not touch bottom at the point where he fell in and that he surely would 9have gone under the ice had he not managed to grab so quick for something solid. He pulled himself out and made his way to Andy Christensen's smear by. There he dried himself out and proceeded OF his way to the Totatlanka.

The Government has recently
been advised by a correspondent
in California that a variety of
wheat is being advertised under
the name of 'Titantic." " The
assertion is made that it is a new
variety of wheat discovered in
England about four years ago,
and that a small quantity of seed
was brought to the United States
by one of the survivors of the
ill-fated Titanic. The wheat is
represented as having extremely
high yielding power, the returns
reaching as high as 7,000-fold.
A photograph sent by this cor
respondent shows a head identi-
cal in appearance with the wide
ly exploited Alaska" wheat.
Five acres of the wheat are said
to be growing in the State of
Washington, and the seed, it is
believed, will be offered at high
prices after harvest. The de-
partment has no further OF more
definite information concerning
this variety, but farmers and
dealers are cautioned to be on
their guard concerning this new
exploitation.

Why Swap HorSes?"

The Democratic ticket has been
nominated. the platform has
been made, and the organization
for the campaign soon will be
perfected. 1t is a good ticket.
There is nonhing doubtful about
it. No one has TO guess where
Woodrow Wilson stands on any
of the great issues now before
the American people. The rec
ord of his administration has
demonstrated his signal ability
to direct the affairs of the Ma
tion. He has been confronted by
many complex problems, but has
met them all with courage and
with a high sense of national
honor. He has given the coun-
try a safe and sane administra-
tion. AS Senator Ollie James
quotes from the homely language
of Abraham Lincoln: "Why
should we swap horses while
crossing a stream?"-State Jour
nal.

The Flag on The Seas.

During fifty years of Dem
ocratic freedom of the seas and
of commerce following Thomas
Jefferson, 80 per cent, of Amer
lean commerce on the high seas
was carried in American ships.
During fifty years of Republican
high tariffs and hide-bound sea
traffic, our merchant marine
dwindled until only 8 per cent.
of American commerce was car
ried in American bottoms. Un-
der the Democratic ship registry
act of 1914 both the number of
merchantmen carrying the
American flag and the per-
centage of commerce carried in
American bottoms have more
than doubled. Moreover, under
Democratic tariff and shipping
laws. the United States in 1916
has become both the leading
commercial nation and the lead
ing ship building country of the
earth. All this country required,
the facts show, was to cut loose
from it's Republican swaddling
clothes.-State Journal.

The most sensible covering
ever made for the feet" says
DR.. Arthur R. Reynolds in the
July American Magazine, ''is the
moccasin of the American Indian
worn without stocking. San
dals also, are good. The sneak
ers of children and tennis shoes
with pliable rubber soles are
next best. The shoes generally
on the market for young children
are without heel; there is a level
sole for the thread and the toes
are wide, but it is usually made
of hard, unyielding leather. "

The Story Of a Famous Hymn.

The famous hymn beginning
God moves in a mysterious
way" known as 'Cowper's
Hymn" had It's origin as fol-
lows: Cowper was all his life the
victim of melancholia and more
than once attempted suicide,
One day, bent upoI destroying
himself, he got into a cab and
ordered the driver to take him to
a certain point on the river
where he intended to drown him
self. The cabman, noticing his
strange appearance and feeling
that all might not be right with
him, drove him about the city
and finally stopped in front of
the poets door. Stepping out
and recognizing the old familiar
surroundings and shocked at the
thought of his narrow escape,
Cowper exclaimed, God moves
in a mysterious way his wonders
to perform" and, rushing in,
Immediately composed the i'm
mortal hymn.

Whenever it is necessary, for
the welfare of the children, to
insist that one or more families
be quarantined," says the July
Woman's Home Companion, it
is astonishing how frequently
this is taken as a personal insult
by the parents. 1t seems to be
considered as an infringement
upon the family rights and not
for one moment to be tolerated"
This editorial has to do with a
widespread evil. 1t says further:
"A striking instance came to
notice recently in a suburban
town. For some weeks sporadic
cases of diphtheria had been ap-
pearing. Every care was taken
to find out the source of the
trouble but all to no avail.
There were carriers at large, and
no one knew who was RESPONSE
BILE. So it was decided to make
a systematic examination of the
throats of the school children,
and to send cultures of all sus-
picous-looking cases to the lab
oratory. 1t was found that
twenty-five per cent of these cul-
lures gave a positive reaction,
so, of course, these children were
promptly banished, and quaran-
tine ordered by the board of
health. The nature of the work
and the necessity for these pre-
cautions were explained to the
parents in every instance; nev-
ertheless, some of these same
parents were very angry, and
tried various devices to break
the quarantine One of the
mothers threatened a law suit
unless her child was promptly
taken back to school and the sign
put on her house by order of the
board of health Immediately re-
moved!
Another mother entirely ig-
nored the notice sent to her, and
fatty refused to keep her child
in the house, though she knew
he was not we'll when she sent
him to school. 1t was several
hours after this child had been
sent home before the mother
could be brought to terms. Mean
while, to spite the authorities
who had perpetrated this out
rage upon her family by barring
her boy out of school, she sent
him over to one of her neighbors
to play with the children. Two
of these children promptly con-
tracted diphtheria, and the
younger one, scarcely more than
! a baby. developed malignant
type and died in two days. 1t
would certainly be using a harsh
expression to say that the child
was murdered, and yet if he had
been neatly shot he would have
suffered far less"
