waters would be lessened as the sur veys proceed.
 The waters in southeastern Alaska have been surveyed in but a small portion of the water lanes, and it will take many years of surveying at the present rate before the channels used by our vessels are safe. The Coast and Geodetic survey has done excel lent and highly valuable work along Alaskan coasts. These waters will be especially important in case of any foreign war with any Asiatic power, and without this bureau is given ap- propriation sufficient, the hidden dan gers in Alaskan waters would offer far greater danger than an enemy's submarines. The people of Alaska are exceedingly friendly to this bu- reau and are anxious to have it given sufficient appropriations to do it's very useful work as rapidly as the oc- casion demands.-Speech of Delegate James Wickersham in Congress over discussion of Coast and Geodetic Sur vey appropriation, February 27.

NEED OF THE WIRE DRAG.

The coast line of Alaska is twice greater than the Atlantic coast line, the Gulf coast line and the Pacific coast line added together. That might not be important if it were not for the fact that the naval coal fields of Alaska and our $35,O0O,0O0 Govern ment railroad lie along these unchart- ed Alaskan shores. These great nat urai resources so important to our na- tional development and defense, are dangerous to approach even in times of peace. The waterway to them is not surveyed and is not safe.
 Alaska has more than 25,00O miles of coast line, and the Coast and Geo. detic survey if it shall continue to sur vey as rapidly as it has been author ized in the past few years will be working on the uncOmpleted job hundred years from now, upon the uncharted and unknown waters of our Alaskan shores.

A large number of privately owned vessels have been wrecked on similar reefs and rocks along the uncharted shores of Alaska in the last few years. If Congress would appropriate as much money as we have actually lost by the sinking of Government vessels the work would be carried on much better and much more advantageous ly, and the loss and danger in those

PEOPLE WANT PEACE.

NINETY per cent of the people of ;he United States are opposed to this Nation becoming involved in war with any nation over any controversy, ac- oording to Representative Buchanan of Illinois. The hired press sheets. the mouthpieces of the intuition traf fickers and monopolistic special privi- ,eged interests have beloved long and loud of tine supposed "crimes' that have been committed against the American people. New York, Baltimore and Boston papers print frenzied appeals to the American peo- ple to avenge their honor which is supposed to have been stained by the failure of munition manufacturers to ship huge cargoes to Europe, false statements have been spread far and wide appealing to the patriotism of the people; but patriotism was ever the last resort of the scoundrel and thank God, their contemptible and Ierfidious methods have not betrayed this country into the hands of the speculators.

THE demand of the New York Times that the President form a coa- lition cabinet "of the brightest minds" of the country is an amazingly arro- gant request from that war-provoking sheet.

of becoming involved in this Euro pean bloody slaughter to the masses of the people who will bear the bur den of the expense, and whose lives will be sacrificed if we do become in volved.
 Undesirable or false patriotism is that which is based upoE egomania, mixed with pride, conceit, narrow minded, and a general delirium of grandeur and yet it is asked that the blood of thousands be shed for such patriotism. Anyone who allows his proAllyism or his prOGermanism to influence him more than his pro- is unwittingly an enemy of his country.
 If we must choose between war and peace the lesser evil is peace. but if we make a mistake it is better to err on the side of peace for war is not only physical hell but mental hell: it is fear of battle, the dread bayonef charge and death; blasted hopes of the wounded, involving great mental torture and a future burden to the Army, the family and the country; terrible disappointments, anxieties, and sadness of mothers, wives and sisters at home. All these physical and mental horrors, not to mention demonstrate war to be lit- orally hell.-Speech by Frank Blu chanan in Congress, Feb. 27.

AN editor of an Alaska publica- tion writes an able and convincing thesis upon life on the farm and the bucolic joys awaiting the publish CT who can acquire the mazuma to annex a bit of land. We thoroughly agree with the gentleman. There are thousands G editors who desire to live on farm; there are hundreds of editors who are fit for nothing else but farmers, and the world would be better off if the majority of editors would go to farming.

BACK TO THE FARM.

IN THE spring we may reasonably expect a back to the farm" move ment if the prevailing high cost of living is kept up. Especially in Alas ka there is no reason that we can see why family of five or six cannot live generously on a small money expen- diture. Any one can take a small tract of land, enough to keep a pig or two, a few chickens and COW, grow all the vegetables the family needs, gather all the wild fruits neces- sary with fish food and wild game aplenty, we need not strave. Let a family forget society, provide few clothes, a little sugar and flour, and the high cost of living is at an end. Incidentally. get away from the ever lasting war talk.
 Of late we have been thinking of the plan seriously. So much so that we have reached a point where we candidly admit that if our friends want to get rid of us, all they have to do is to give us the pigs, the chickens and the COW, we shall manage to get the clothes, the flour and the sugar and back to the farm we shall go where we should be, and where so- ciety shall know us no more. Now, come ahead slow with your pigs, chickens and cow.-Ketchikan Pro- gressive- Miner.

The berries of this plant are

but as far as is known. no cases Of
human poisoning have been report
ed heretofore. Although the case
in question could not be fully in:
vestigated, in view Of the good cir
cumstantial evidence, and the fact
that the berries are poisonous to
guinea pigs, it seems worth while
to call attention to the case, and
describe the suspected plant.
The three-flowered or spreading
nightshade is low, prostrate,
slightly hairy plant with leaves
deeply cut by seven to nine notches;
the flowers and fruit occur character

PULLET-PROOF HELMENT FOR
THE UNITED STATES MARINES

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Bullet
and shrapnel-resistant trench helmets
have been adopted for the U. S. Mar
ines. These Soldiers of the Sea" are
TIE first American armed forces to
adopt this spitzer-proof headgear, and
to actually prepare for its manufac-
tire.
The new Marine Corps helmet, with
v hich the entire corps will be equip
ped, is a compromise between the
French and the British types. 1t con-
forms to the size and shape of the
average head and can be snugly fitted
by khe adjustment Of cloth cap in
side. 1t is made of single piece of
chilled steel. Under test the helmet
resisted eight steel-jacketed bullets at
100 feet from the Springfield rife. and
broke only upon the impact of the
ninth missile.
