AN OLD LANDMARK GONE.

When pioneer of community passes from the nectar of life to the aadir of death, the local newspaper is supposed to cover somewhat in de- tail the life history of the departed. Too often We leave the kind things to De said when it is too late, so far as the subject is concerned. And so it is with landmarks. When the elements destroy a place that has made history and become historic in community, it does not seem right that the fact should be dismissed with a couple of lines in the newspaper. With thls thought in view. we desire to tell of the passing of the Pioneer Hotel of Knik, which l destructive fire recently consumed.
 We deal with the Pioneer Hotels history since the year 1909, whGr Frank B. Cannon took it over. At hat time it was merely a roadhouse, similar tC other Alaska roadhOuScs. It was the personality of the phllLs"- pher who took il over that gained widespread lame and popularity for his noted ho.;tClrv From { rHt.'

Whoever had occasion 'u stop at the Pioneer hotel will never forget the hospitality, the good cheer, the freedom and the hOme-like char acteristics of the place. In our mind :; t-ve. we see the ever-genial host sitting by the red-hOt fire on cold winter day, giving the stove an occasional Ioke to keep the fire warm and con- ble, with the same. cordial gree: ing for all who entered, whether p;.-

GERMAN CRITICS
 DISCOUNT THE GAINS

AMSTERDAM, April 2S. .- Accord ing to Berlin telegram German military critics say the Allies offen- sive in the West has begun later than was expected and attribute the delay to the submarine war and the German retirement between Arras and Sois- sons, which nullifed the Allies pre- paration and compelled complete recasting of their plans. They also continue to maintain that the past three years show offensives at a chOs- en point invariably bring an initial success but the real question is whether they can develop into break through and in this the British have Tot succeeded. They further deny that the enemy troops have carried more than the first line of the defersc system.
 The military critic of the Vossische Zeitung says that reverses such as those near Acras must be counted On and are in the nature of a tactical re- verse which If not followed by strate- gcal effects merely means the weak ening of the attacked party ill men and material. He is also confident that the guns, which could not be remor- ed, because so firmly fixed, were to- tally destroyed. while the Frankfurteg Zeitung declares that ii the British break through the situation will be worse for them than for the Germans, as the latter excell in a war of man euvers, which would result.

irons or those wishing to pass an idle hour. Cannon seemed to know ev- erybody in the country; had kind word for all and made no distinction between the fellow in the white col lar and the man in the overalls. They all looked alike to Cannon. They were men, and he treated them as men.
 And when the gong sounded ptc- claiming a meal hour, there wcs a stampede to the big dining room. id- joining the lobby. There were two tables. accommodating about 20 Her- sons each. And there was substantlai wholesome food in plenty; there was enough for all and to spare. The rul" of first-come. first-served was rlgldlv adhered to. United States Senators and nigh government officials, as well as prominent mining operators nave dined at this hotel. They were wcH served, but no better than the mar who had not a dollar to his name. Y they failed to get seat at the first sitting they could wait for the sec ond table. And no moneyless man as ever turned away from the h"te. .. he question of monty appeared to Dc a secondary consideration with the host. You were supposed to pay II YOU had the money of course. But 'f you were up against it. and had no funds, you ate and slept at the Pio- neer Hotel. and your food was as good and your bed as comfortable as that enjoyed by others.
 And the arguments that used to take place in the lobby of this hotel. ou had your say on any topic under the sun, and there were those llesent who would combat you to the limit. We remember the winter of 1914-15. There were three well-informed fel- lows, steady patrons of the hotel, whC by common consent joined in taking the opposite side of every question that was raised by some embryonic statesman, and you had to be mighty careful of your grounds and be accu- rate as to your statements. or they would be sure to best you, because, somewhere they would dig up the aa- thorities to uphold their contentious.
 But the elements have reduced to ashes this notable landmark of the Cook Inlet country. Indeed, the ho tel lost much of it's popularity, much of it's widespread fame, when Frank Cannon. due to ill-health. sold ott last season. This is no reflection on those who took it over because there is but one Frank Cannon in Alaska.
 While the Pioneer Hotel has bern los, to the Cook Inlet country, the man that made it famous still sur wives. Mir. Cannon is member o, the lower house of the Alaska lesisla- tive assembly, having been elected b. the largest plurality ever received D.: a candidate for legislative honors

WHY HELVERING VOTED
AGAINST ROOSEVELT BILL

A letter from Congressman Hell
vering explains his vote against the
Roosevelt amendment on the ground
that it would rob the army of Off
GERS needed to train the drafted
men. AS Teddy is organizing his
own division and does not ask any
aid of the regular army the excuse
is rather far fetched. The admins
tration is strong against T. r. and
every congressman who could be
brought in line has been listed up
against the colonel. That's all the
explanation possible.

WHAT CENSORSHIP CAN DO

In The Coming of the Terror story to appear the October Century from the pen of the author of The Angel of Mons Arthur Machen, it is stated. comments the fact that a censorship sufficiently minute and utterly remorseess do amazing things in the way of hiding what it wants to hide. Once would have thought otherwise; would have said that, censor, the fact of murder X- would certainly become known, if not through the press at all events through rumor and the passage of the news from mouth to mouth. And this would be true of England three hundred years ago. But have grown of late to such reverence for the printed word and such reliance it that the old faculty of disseminating by word of mouth has become atrophied. Forbid the press to mention the fact that Jones has been murdered and it is marvellous how few people will hear of it. and they have heard.
