A 100 million dollar wage increase for
men in freight and yard service Cess than
one-hfth of all employes) is equal to S per
cent advance in all freight rates.
The managers of the railroads, as trustees
for the public, have no right to place this
burden on the cost of transportation to you
without clear mandate from a public tri-
bunal speaking for you.
The railroads have proposed the settle
ment of this controversy either under the
existing national arbitration law, or by refer
ence to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. This offer has been refused by the
employees representatives.
Shall nationwide strike or an
investigation under the Gov
eminent determine this issue?

FREEMAN WILL BE REELECTED; FIRE
 MEETING TONIGHT

The Juneau Fire Department will meet tonight and elect officers for the year and transact other bus mess of importance. The reelection of Sim Frelman as chief, without op- position. Is conceded It will be nec- essary to elect a new assistant chief in place of Charles W. Carter Mr. Carter has accepted @ responsible po- sitlon with the Alaska Gastineau Go. and will be unable to take an active interest In the department in the fu- ture. However, he intends to remain on the rolls of the department as an inactive member
 The loss of Mr. Carter wlll be keenly felt by the department. He is one of the oldest members in point of service In the department hay- ing been in 1t for the past nineteen years. Mir. Freiman has been 8 hre- man for the past sixteen years.
 The reelection of Frank Sergeant as truck driver and J. F. Wheeler as assistant will probably be unanimous.
 The names of those who are out for the position of assistant chief are being kept quiet by the boys but it Is understood chat they have at least two candidates for the po- sltlon. New members of the depart ment will be elected tonight
 The Juneau Fire Department is In a higher state of efficiency at the present time than 1t has ever been. The policy of the department in lim- ltlng the number of members, and in choosing only the best, works to the best interests of all. Every member is active and interested and is well disciplined. Every man knows his place and his work and does 1t with out question.

eastern Alaska. These passages. be- ing usually deep depresslons be- tween high ridges. are apparently safe. but the appearance ot security is decelying on account of the exis- tence Of pinacle rocks, rising, In Q great many cases. from great depths, and os such small extent that the or dinary methods Of hydrography fail to reveal them. One of these was found by the steamship State of Cali fornia with a loss Of thirty.one lives and sS5OOOO
 Large Areas Covered
 The scenery of Alaska has been much admired by the tourist. but the very features that cause admira- ton, form the pinnacle rocks and other Instructions so dreaded by the navigator. The very uncertainty of the existence Of these pinnacles, and the fact that they rise from great depths, makes it necessary to drag large areas in which no obstructions are found. Fortunately such work can be done rapidly by the use of a long drag. @ drag 5000 feet long having been used wi,a the result that twenty square miles were drag ged in single day.
 In one channel out of twelve big buoys marking dangerous rocks five have been placed on shoals found in the wire-drag work Vessels often avoid uncharted rocks by sticking closely to the same channel which they previously trayersed in safety. This is frequently impossible.
 An excellent example of this re- iates to one Of the great Alaskan in dustries. the canning of salmon. The factories are placed with regard to the presence Of the fish and may be in out Of the way coveo and harbors which the surveyor would consider of minor importance. AS a result the largest vessels In the Alaskan trade may be obliged to enter a harbor that has been practically un- surveyed and jeopardize the lives and property of many who have no im- mediate interest in the locality. Con- sequently many Of these small har- bors must be dragged in addition to the main channels

WASHINGTON. April 7.-An inter- estine publication has just been is- sued by the coast and geodetic sur vey. department Of commerce. con cerning its wire-drag operations in Alaskan waters. Considering that this work started in 1914 the results that have been obtained In a short time are startling. and this is well brought out in the publication entit- Ter "Wire Drag Work in Alaska. prepared by Assistants l.. O. Colbert and John A. Daniels who were in di- rect charge Of the work.
 The relation Of this work to the important interests Of Alaska, as rep resented by @ commerce of STO.ooO.- 900 per year which is constantly in- creasing. is clearly shown. All com merce between Alaska and the coast and between the ports of Alaska is water borne and many vessels are obliged to pass through the intricate system of narrow channels in South

A SacriIeue on Nature.

In Glacier National park, Montana,
are peaks bearing such names as
Rising Wolf mountain, Bear Head
mountain. Going -the-Sun noun
tain, Red Eagle mountain, Almost-a-
Dog mountain.
In the same park are noble sum-
mits disfigured with such appeila-
lions as Stimson mountain, Pinchot
mountain. and it is proposed to re-
name some crest with a Sonorous or
suggestive Indian name after our
present inconsequent secretary OF the
navy. No wonder the Blackfeet IN
dams protest ..
AS one goes west across Montana,
from the vast convex of the great
plains there rises southwark mass
called the Bear Paw mountain, While
a little further rise upon the norm
the Sweet Water hills. How euphon-
Gus. even poetic are these names!
There are in Montana counties
named Silver Bow. Deer Lodge, ana
Beaver. Head. but even Montana couid
not get off without naming one coun-
~ the eternal Cass. Just why there
should be a Cass county in ABOUT
every western state no one knows. LOT
Lewis Cass is now all but foreotten.
But the practice Of disfiguring a
noble landmark with the ugly cog
nomen of a piffiing politician should
be sternly repressed The propensity
is no more than the grown-up edi :
ton of the small boys itch to scriooie
his name on the back of the barn.
Our grandchildren are going to De
more critical than we. They Will pet
ter cherish their folklore and VIII
have more regard for their America
When they run across Mount Jose
phus Daniels and William Jennings
Bryan gulch, they will scott at their
grandfather's taste. We hope they
viii! do better still-take the Slim
son and its stigma OF one grand sum-
nit and restore the picturesque ola
Blackfoot Indian name.
