WHAT NEW YORK LACKS

Announcement comes from the New York States Auti-Saloon league that it will submit to the legislature at the next session a bill Co prohibit the sale of liquor during the period Of the war and during demobihzatjon.
 What a pity it is that 70 important a matter relating to the war should be left to the decuson of the average legislature. It requires a stretch of the imagination to view a New York legislature as up to thc average. Too many of its members are sent from the great city that burdens itself with Tammany government most of the time. Tammany will have a pow erful influence on the legislature, and it will fight the bill with all the craft and zeal of the booze interests.
 Because the average legislature is SO easily controlled by selfish inter- ests and can be corrupted without danger Of punishment, we have small hope that the proposed bill will pass. lf New York had the initiative and could submit the measure directly to the people, the strong probability is that it would carry.
 In Ohio the vote on making the state bone-dry for an time was pra e. tically a tie. If the issue had been presented as 8 war measure only, and to be effective only until our asmies disbanded, it would doubtless have carried by a very large majority. You can "6x" the average legislature, but you can't corrupt two or three mil lion voters

ALASKA SCHOOLMAAMS
 V. dez ProSpcCtOr)

Why does a schoolma'am who pos sesses a bright smile and a winning personality become more precious chan pearls, once she becomes a resi- dent Of Alaska? While no accurate figures can be obtained upon the sub iect it is estimated that the chances of am attractive schoolma'am marry inc am attractive Alaskan, is about 100 per cent, once she lands in this matrimonial bureau. In a majority of cases it takes urgent pressure by the school board to induce the young la dies and young men to postpone their connubial bliss until the end of the school year in order that Minerva will not be sighted. The schOOlma 'ams lGod bless 'em- have furnished good wives for thousands of Alaska's brav- est and brawniest men, and the Alas kan supply is apparently ineXhaus- tblc. The States turn out the teachers and Alaska turns out Che husbands. And this mixture and brains and brawn rebounds to the fu- Jure of the Territory. All women are beautiful, but statistics show that out of 67gl teachers who have come to Alaska for the purpose of teaching the young idea to shoot, 679l have very soon become attached to some genus homo of the vintage of '9S. Dressmalers in job lots do we'll in Alaska, and clerks and stenographers are quoted at par but one good-look- ing schoolma'am can cause a stam- pcde that lays the Klondike rush far i'm the shade

THE FAR EAST AND THE RUS
 SIAN SITUATION

Doubtless one of the results of the recently announced understanding and agreement between commissioners of the Japanese government and the American state department will be the smoothing out of difficulties that have made the Japan-China relations a matter of some anxiety. China has the utmost confidence jn the integrity of American friendship; and Ameri- can approval of the views advanced by the Japanese commissioners with respect to China should be accepted in that country as, in a sense, an American guaranty Of Japanese frendliness and fair dealing.
 At any rate it would appear that Japan has candjdly laid its cards up- on the table face up, and there is nothing in the hand that does not be- long there by reason of the trade and interests and the propinquity of Ja- pan and China. There has been conversation between Japan and the United States, and from that an un- derstanding and agreement that, so far as Western civilization is con cerned. tends to eliminate future trouble from the Eastern situation.
 Incidentally, what ought to follow as a result of this new understanding with respect to the conduct of the war as it has been affected by the collapse Of Russia? Russia at war was a heavy buyer from Japan. What wl become of that trade when Rus sia is beguiled into a German peace, if that should happen? For obvious reasons affecting entente interests 1t could not be maintained; for with Germany at peace with Russia such trade would mean supply to the cen tral armies. In what new direction will Japanese war industry be divert ed to help win the war against Prussia!
 Another thought that presents it. self is this: If Russia not only stays out of the war, but by concluding peace with Germany strengthens the Esiser's arm; and thereby the cOndi- lions of the conflict as a whole be- come more desperate than they now

Last Saturday while working on an
electric light pole in New Plymouth
Frank Miller in some manner came
in contact with live wire carrying
four thousand volts and was badly
burned on the hands and arms, he
was for a time rendered unconcious
and hung from the pole by the strap
which the men use in working, there
were other men near by but none
had climbers and before help could
be secured to releaes him from the
roll he revived and came to the
ground, he was taken TO Dr.
Drysdale's office where his wounds
were dressed, then taken to the nos
pital at Boise. 1t is thought that
he may lose his left hand. Frank
has a strong constitution and plen-
ty of pluck which will assist great

NOTES
Smut Explosions.


Several threshing outfits start
work this week Most fields are
quite free from fungous diseases
tho We have noted some very smut
ty grain. Such conditions often
causes explosions resulting in separa'
tors being burned unless adequate
care is taken by keeping the
top open or by having the seara-
tor equipped with suitable fire fight
ing apparatus. One simple device
is to have a 80 gallon tank filled
with liquid under pressure on the
separator connected with soft
plugged spray nozzles inside the ma
chine. Undueheat instantly frees
nozzles which spray the fire be-
cause of the high pressure in
the tank above.
