DIR. JORDAN AND ALASKA PAN
 HANDLE

Writing under the subtitle, "The Panhandle of Alaska" in a general department on, What of the Nation" :" in the Sunset Magazine, Dr.. David Starr Jordan, chancellor of Standford University, goes after Representative Frank o. Smith, of Maryland, who has introduced several bills in Con- gress and carried on considerable agi- tation in favor of giving Southeastern Alaska to Canada in interests of world peace" The great California educator said it would be absurd for

- FS SAILS FOR ANCHORAGE

The steamer Admiral Watson came in from the south about 1O:3O Sun day morning and left for the west ward about noon. She carried a large list of passengers for Anchorage, and a large freight cargo. Her passen- gers for Valdez were: Martin Welch. Mrs. Welch, James Crampton, G. F. Gleason, E. J. Burns, l.. c. McAtee, H. S. Lindsey, M. Lindsey, M. Rich- ards, Thomas Williams and two steer age. The passengers booked here for the west were w. McGauchey and Steve Peck, for Granite, and J. R. Gelineau and P. H. Brusseth for La touche.

from which pound nets are able to secure and shut. off considerable of the salmon headed for Frazier River.
 The map given by MT. Smith shows the prosperous character of the pro- position. There are more people on some of the little outlying islands of New Brunswick or Maine than there are ever likely to be in all the terri tory between Canada and the Pacific ocean shut of by the panhandle. 1t would be just as rational to cut off from the northern peninsula of Mich igan and give it to Canada, though the panhandle is much more valuable and larger and equally closely related to the business of American citizens If the only desire of Canada is to arrange so that her traffic with the Yukon may go on without paying tariff duty, the remedy is not to transfer of territory but reciprocity of trade. If not absolute reciprocity, then free trade to and from the Yu- kon and Skagway, it's natural seaport.
 The cession of the whole country in order to accommodate the residents in the much less important Yukon ter ritory would be preposterous.
 Dr. Jordan could have made his statements very much stronger, and doubtless would have done so had he not depended so much on his visits to this country that were made long ago. Had he been a recent visitor he would have added the other great dev elopment in the vicinity of Juneau which>has given us two other mines larger in some respects than the Treadwell with yet more in near pros pect. He could have added the Chich- agof mine, one of the greatest divi- dend payers of them all, and lot of other mining properties, both gold and copper, and various industrial developments in fisheries and other lines-Empire.

BRANDED SALMON IS
 CAUGHT BY FISHERMEN

A large king salmon, bearing the brand of the Kodiak hatchery, today was discovered among the fish deliv- cred to Slater's restaurant, says the Cordova Times.
 It has been the custom of the hatcheries to brand certain number of the fry released each year with a view of determining, if possible, what became of them. /
 The fish in question was marked with a K, followed by diamond, which is said to be the brand of the Kodiak hatchery.

the United States to give up section
 of the country as populous and rich
 in resources and industries as the AL aska Panhandle is to submit ingress and egress to and from the sea to fewer people living in country that is not ss rich.
 Dr. Jordan's article follows:
 Under the curiously irrelevent title of "Eugenic Peace," Hon. Frank O. Smith, a Congressman from Maryland
 has put forward the proposition that,
 in the interests of world peace the
 United States should cede to Canada the southern part of Alaska, known as the panhandle" This district shuts off from the sea large region
 in Canada and MT. Smith compares this fact to a condition which should take from our Atlantic coast line from Maine to New Jersey, sea-
 board belt of thirty miles more or
 less a part of some other nationality.
 This proposition has secured the support of number of eminent
 ames of men who have not seen Alas ka, but to one familiar to the affairs of that territory it would seem the height of absurdity. In any case, no change should be made without the consent of the people residing in their district. As matter of fact, their business relations are almost entirely with Seattle and San Francisco, and their affairs would be utterly para lyzed if turned over to the Canadian government with tariff interefring with their exports to the towns of the United States. Nearly one-third of the salmon fisheries of the world are ill this panhandle, and also one of the largest gold mines-The Treadwell
 mine on Douglas Island. These islands have also what the mainland has not, great resources of timber, of which the government for the present for bids cutting. The panhandle contains Juneau, the ca pital and principal city of Alaska, Sitka, the venerable Rus sian capital, with Ketchikan, Wran- gell, and other trading and fishing villages-probably more than half of the permanent population of the whole territory of Alaska.
 In the land territory thus shut off from the sea there are at present few dozens of inhabitants. The noun tains for some distance back from the coast are not inhabited. There are few people, fisherman or hunters, living in the vicinity of the Stikine River, but otherwise there is nothing nor is it possible to carry a railroad across the country to Alaska, except by going far inland to the northeast, branching off from the Canadian Grand Trunk Railway, which now ends at Prince Rupert, somewhat to the south of southern Alaska. When it was thought that the Grand Trunk would end at Port Simpson, the arbi- trators gave Canada Wales island, to which she was not apparently titled. It was transferred in order to give Canadian surroundings to the Bay of Port Simpson. At once the entire pop ulation of this island moved out so as to get under the protection of the American flag again. There were not many of them, but the principle in- volved would be widely extended.
 If we wish to secure the Canadian gratitude, we could go much further by granting to Canada, Point Roberts the little cape at the northwestern tip of the State of Washington, which belongs to the United States, and

Since the high prices paid for ships has made it impossible for the ship yards of the world to build vessels fast enough to satisfy the demand for tonnage, a company has been formed to raise sunken vessels.

Dazedly June got to her feet, glaring about the room in abject fright. She moved uncertainty, step or two. Then her tense nerves giving away, she shrieked aloud and reeled to the floor in a dead faint.
 Mary and Lamar, at sound of her cry, rushed headlong into the room. They flew to her aid, applying such restora- tives as were within reach. Presently the swooning girl came to herself. Look ing up, she encountered the nurses lov- ing, frightened old face.
 'Oh, Mary!' she gasped, trembling all over, I've had such an awful dream! Such a horrible dream. Mary! Tiff it was dream If it was dream!"
