ALASKA MUST KEEP ITS SHIPS
Seattle Times)


 The Pacific Coast, much it will regret the loss of it's coaswise carriers, will object to the diver of these vessels Atlantic the carriage partially with both coastal sections
 Despite the greater distance from Europe. this section of the country appreciates just much as does the Atlantic seaboard that the first duty of the United States is feed the Entente nations and also to supply them with all the and manufactured pro- ducts that they require and which America is in position to furnish If the transport of these com modities makes it necessary to divert coast wise carriers other services there will be dsposi tion to dsapprove equitable designed eff feet the desired end.
 There is service however which should not be curtaied in any way except a last resort that to Alaska. The territory has other means of communication with the United States It is the threshold of period of development, which is mat ter of importance not merely to the Norhland but to the United States we'll The construction of the government railroad will greatly expedite that develop ment provided other of communication are not restricted.
 With this country entering upon that may be of indefinite duraton it needs the mineral of Alaska-and it needs them developed their maximum capacity. Moreover, it may need the agri- cultural and stockrasng of the Territory. we'll before the struggle is concluded. Certainly, military common and naval necessity alike com mand speedy increase in population and prompt de- velopment of the country's coal resources.
 Success in this matter hinges wholly upon the question of transportation, The government doing it's best to accomplish these purposes by constructing the Alaska Railroad. Under the circumstances it would be folly to check these operations by restricting water communication unless such restriction is in2- perative necessity in the performance of full duty to Allies in Europe.

THE TREADWELL LOSS
Seattle Post t-Intelligencer)


 The flooding of the great Treadwell mines at Alaska by the waters of Gastneau Channel is Of the deepest not only to the Territory but to the thousands of people, miners and their families, and stockholders in the company, who derived their nklln from this greatest gold mine of the country
 Since 1882, when the Treadwell first began to pro- workings have yielded nearly s60000000 worth of gold The city of Douglas grew being from this indus try and Juneau. the channel drew much of the business from Douglas Island The thirteen hun dred employees of the mine drew $125000 per month in wages the company's investment in plant and equipment approximately $10O00000 It was gi- ganc having to do with the maintenance and prosperity of thousands of individuals Manager Brad ley of the company. is quoted saying that the re- mobilization of the three great mines that have been flooded is hopeess That loss of life suffered is believed, a provdential feature of the catastrophe
 The circumstance that brought the salt waters of Gastineau channel into the underground workings of Treadwel due to the mining of the body of gold under the channel This practice has been followed for many years with apparent safety Some months ago the Ready Bullion mine separated from the other workings by cement wall, and this to have saved it from the present destruction About 8 per cent of the working force will find em ployment in this mine in the future.

The great gold yield only made possible by tho investment of millions of dollars in machinery, the plant comprising 1000 stamp mills Enough in sight to operation indefi nitey in the future. Whether the invasion of the sea will prevent further working of the great ore body at other points is matter of conjecture.

However, there is much sound behind his advocacy of extensive fish diet that his repu- tation economist is likely compete with that in the other lines,

 of Anchorage Man.
WAR A LONG STRUGGLE
Mobilization of the Fishing Interests Important to the Entire
 World.

SEATTLE, April 28. - War will hasten, rather than retard, govern ment projects in Alaska, in the opin- ion of Charles E. Heron, owner and publisher of the Anchorage Times who is at the Arctic Club on his way home from six months visit to Eastern cities, says the Post-Intel- ligencer
 Tn connection with the conflict in Europe" MT Heron said, "the United States will need the fisheries coal and precious metals of Alaska To develop further these resources, and to transport the output to the States there must be additional, in stead of less, steamship service, and the federal railroad, now building must be rushed to completion. Bill lions of dollars have been approp- riated for war purposes, and it would be penny wise and pound foolish policy to withhold the expenditure of a few million dollars to make effec- tive the very considerable part that Alaska can take in the struggle. There is some talk of the govern ment ordering the transfer of yes sels on the Alaska run to the Allan tic coast to carry food and muni- tions to Europe. Such a course of action would be a grave blunder. cannot thing it will even be given serious consideration. The federal authorities must act on the theory that the war will be long strug- gle. and prepare accordingly. No other assumption is safe. Adequate preparation requires the mobiliza tion of everything necessary to suc- cessful prosecution of the struggle. and the resources of the North are of prime importance"

100000 PEOPLE FOR SEATTLE

In 1906 Will Parry who died recently at Wash ington, then active worker in dozens of companies that were developing the Northwest, startled his munity by predicting that Seattle would have 200 900 inhabitants by 1910 The reports of 1900 had given her Sl,000. The final returns from the 1910 gave the city 237,000.
 short time before his death, noting the great pay rolls in the ship yards and manufacturing ins tutions and the rapid growth of commerce and marked development plans of the railroad centering at the metropolis of Puget Sound. Mir Parry predict ed that by 1925 the city would have than 1OOO- 900 inhabitants.
 Who is there to say that there is not as good foundation for the last prediction as the first? Mr. Parry said there better.
 What pity that Mir. Parry could not have lived to help make his last prediction true as he did his firstand to enjoy the results toward creation of which he has contributed much.
