ALASKA SHIP IS NOW
 FLYING JAPAN FLAG

The ship Mackinaw, which was in the Alaska trade, sailing to Nome, has been bought by the Japanese gov ernment for $300,00O and IS now sailing the Oriental seas with the Jap flag at her peak. The Seward, so well known in these waters, has recently returned to Seattle from Vladivostok, and Capt. John Johnson relates some interesting facts about that port in war times. He was the only Ameri- can with a ship in port and he felt lonesome until one day he saw the Mackinaw steam in. Then he saw the Jap flag and he was lonesome again. Johnson says that the price paid for the Mackinaw was altogether beyond her value in times of peace. Some other interesting facts told by the Captain were that in spite of prohi- bition in Russia the streets of Vladi- vostok are filled with drunken men, and that the place is filled with pris- oners. not Germans or anything else but Russians. The only effect that he saw prohibition to have was that the liquor cost more and was of so inferior kind that many were dying from it's effects

NEW IMPROVEMENT ADDED.

The Prospector has this week in- stalled one of the new Cutlar-Ham- mer electric pots on its typesetting machine, making this one of the most complete equipments in the Terri tory, 'indeed one of the best north of Portland. This is the first electric pot ever installed in the territory and was made possible in our case by the high cost of gasoline and the extreme ly low cost of electric current. The new mechanism is very complicated and delicately adjusted fixture, the current being automatically coDtroll- ed within a few degrees of the heat desired, and does away with all me- tai troubles and fumes from the mol ten material.
 This is one of the latest devices sent out by the Linotype Company and renders this machine and the Prospector outfit very complete in its equipment.

THEY'LL HAVE TO WATT AWHILE

Reports from Washington say that President Wilson finds it expedient to remain in Mexico for a definite period, which is, until banditry and outlawry have been driven out of the country or exterminated. To some of us this means the eXtermination of every Mexican, because we believe they are "tarred with the same stick. " This fact taken together with the further fact that for generations they have had bred into them 3 hatred for Americans and America itself. conse- quently, if we have to have peace, we must remain there and keep up the good work.
 From all indications it is clear hat the administration has finally arriv- ed at the conclusion that guerrilla warfare in Mexico is sort of pest that can only increase with time, un- less the bad weeds are eradicated: pulled out, roots and all; and that ill the interest of misunderstanding the Mexicans, we must police their country and make safe country from pest. As soon as the Mexicans real ize that such is our intention, so soon shall peace be restored. Making them understand our purpose with force was that which was needed, because force is the only instrument all lgno- rant man fears.
 And since we have gone into that country with force, we must accom- plish our purpose. And that regard less as to whether Carranza likes it or not.-EXchange

Parents should teach their children the value and productive power of dollar. Make your money work for you. The man who works for his money is slave; the man who makes his money work for him lives in lux dry.
 Practice economy and thrift. Learn to do without things you do not need Thrift is not the habit of being stin- gy; but the habit of getting lo9 cents for every dollar you spend. Thrift is not so much the virtue of accumulat- ing stores against the morrow as it is of getting the full use and value of the stores.
 A dollar we'll spent is worth the money; spent for dissipation CT use- 1essly it exacts heavy toll from the morale of the spender.

VARYING DOLLARS.

As the economists figure it, the dol Jar of today IS considerably smaller than the dollar of twenty years ago. It will not buy half so much, go so far, stick so long in persons pocket.
 But the value of the dollar varies more as between individuals than it does in time. With one man the dol lar has wings. It comes to him only 10 fly away. He gets less value in the spending of a dollar than his neighhor would get from the fourth of it. With others the dollar is as friendly and faithful as a malamute dog. loving it's quarters, hating to wander. It gives full dollars re- turn. Every penny of it is produc- tive. Its value does not vary because the owner of it thinks twice before spending his money. Calculates and bargains.

to kick through with the treats, even though he was a good old bateh.
DON'T GO OUT ALONE.

1t has been brought home to us
 within the past week the extreme folly of men travelling alone through
 out Alaska. For almost year the re-
 mains of a prospector, Louis Shcrt, have laid upon the side of the noun
 tain, within sight and almost within
 hearing of the town. How he died,
 when he died we shall never know.
 Appearances indicate that his death
 was instantaneous and resulted from
 fall over a cliff. Let us hope it
 was, but how easily it might have i been slow, agonizing torture to
 which death brought relief. He was
 alone. No one saw him fall; no one
 was near to give aid, when aid might
 have saved his life. For almost a year his friends and his parents have
 been left to wonder over his fate, and lit was revealed by the merest acci- dent. Is it worth while? Is all the gold in Alaska worth human life? Better by far to divide your find with
 another than to run the risk the pos
 sibility of dying a lingering death
 alone and unattended. Experience
 should have taught the foolha1d di- ness of prospecting alone. Mer lave started out many times, strong and Iunafraid, never to return. What has been their fate?
 Prospecting in the hills is danger Ious. A slip sometimes means fall of few feet or perhaps hundreds. lit means instant death, or broken bones, or other injuries which pre- went seeking aid, and fever, hunger and thirst combine to make the last hours torture' Such accidents as these are all too common and prove the foolhardiness of those who roam the hills unaccompanied.
Valdez daily prospector., 1916-05-12

Valdez merchants generally report business quiet. Not necessarily from hard times, but for the reason that so many men have gone out to the mines and on prospecting trips. A general spirit of optimism seems to prevail among our townsmen. All feel that Valdez is destined for bigger things, and that the Hull in her affairs is but the precursor of good times to come. Those of us who hang on to the old town will eventually get our reward by being on the ground when the up- rise begins. Valdez will be bigger and better town by fall than many of those to which our citizens are turning their attention. Let's hang on; pull together, and be nice to each other, and see what great difference it will make in our city.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK
 AIDS YOUTHS TO SAVE

In Fairbanks the postal savings bank is proving a success, if for no other reason, than that it is teach ing thrift to many of the boys, says the Fairbanks News-Miner. Since the postal savings department was open ed many boys have opened up small accounts and every day they get off from school they are working and depositing their earnings with Uncle Sam, where they will get interest and where there is no chance for them to lose the money.
 One instance of thrift is that of 1.-two brothers, the sons of we'll known citizen. They started out sev- |eral times to collect bottles, and |after getting their little express wagons full they took them to the bottling works, where they received good prices for them. On one sin gle day one of these boys earned no less than SIS. Others have earn ed five and six dollars a day and instead of putting the earnings in a small bank, which they later could |get into for candy money, they de- |posited the cash with good old Uncle Sam.
 While the number of depositors in the postal savings department cannot be learned, it is publicly known that there are quite number of depos- |itors and that the list is increasing in size all the time.

NOW that the Chicago circuit court has decided that Francis Bacon didn t write Shakespeare's books-for this reason: that the judge who rendered the decision was not qualified to sit. It was hinted, too, that collision had existed between the parties to the suit and that it was instituted largely for the publicity that would accrue to the litigants, one of whom was mo- tion picture magnate. So the Baco- nians' triumph has been short-lived. Some other scheme will have to be invoked if the advertising stunt is to be carried farther.
