ONE NITRATE PLANT NOT ENOUGH
Seattle Times)


 Every American who looks at the subject in a national and not in sectional light, will approve the decision of President Wilson that than nt trate plant should be constructed under the provisions Of the last army bill, which made $2OOOOOOO available for this purpose.
 The nitrate plant proposition was a defense idea. The intention assure this country supplies Of materials that would be needed in ammunition man uiacture in the that 1t should be cut off from other nations by a blockade Where possible and to the that the home market and the capacity of the plans permitted the output Of the institution was be utilized in peace times by American indus tries. However in all the debates the subject, the latter phase of the subject was subordinated to the former.
 Common sense demands that this nation should have than source of nitrate supply. South. ern members of Congress have warmly urged the ad- tain the necessary electrical power for the plant One such institution in the South serving the Atlantic and Gulf Coast defenses and manufacturing districts, un dOubtedly would be desirable. However, it would be comparatively easy matter for foe Co land troops the Gulf coast and menace this particular institu tiOn. which would not be protected by mountain es any other great natural defense.
 To avert the possibility of disaster through the capture destruction of such plant by enemy t is desirable that at least other nitrate plant should be constructed in the West behind the protect ing shoulder of the Cascades and in a district where available It might even be the height of wisdom to erect still another in the Central West, where power could be obtained from of the great streams flow ing into the Mississippi
 In any event, one plant certainly is not enough, either O assure the necessary supplies of nitrate gress has recognized the need for preparedness in this respect. N should step further and give the na. ton very definite assurance that it's defense never will be menaceI by the loss of single nitrate plant

PHRASES AND FACTS

Mr. Bryans high-sOuudng phrases do not maGe white black black white It is no, propo5eI that American soldiers shall march under the banners Of foreign mOnarchs. IJ is not proposed that American soldiers shall die on foreign soil in settlement Of foreign Quarrels The whole question is as to whetA. CT or not the government will maintain the just and legal rights Of sovereign American citizens in ac- cordance with the oaths that the officers Of that government took when placed ln positions respon- sibiIity and whether or uot a loyal czcnry will sup port the officers of tha; government in performing their duty There is the very best of Demo cratic precedent for what President Wilson has done ana proposes Go do. President Jefferson and Presi dent Madison both wen, to war in defense Of the right of Americans to the high seas in accordance with the law of Nations. The United States cannot refuse proeca her citizens n the exercise of their lawful rights and maintain her hocor and dignity as a Nation
 The United States is surrounded with grim facts and theory. It is a question as to whether she is to exercise the functions of Nation and to pro- tect her citizens in their lawful and just rights whether she is to forfeit the respect of the world and her own scli-respecl There would be as much reason behind argument that our own police off Cers should afford protection to citizens against crime by enforcing the law because such enforcement would put policemen in jeopardy as there is behind tEc agitation Ar Bryan has started in favor of aban- doning American rights because Germany persists in committing crime ocean highways.

VALDEZ DISTRICT PROGRESSING
VaIdez Miner)

!
 The Valdez district is rapidly coming to the front as quartz mining center second to none in Alaska both gold and copper existing in quantities second Co no other district in the NOrthland While the cop

 higher grade than the average ore taken in the
 great copper Ccnters in the States, and owing to its advantageous position be mined and shipped ecOnO
 micaly. or the gold quartz veins of the district t can truthtuIly be claimed that they are, with the exception of those of the Willow section of the Susitna, with which they appear to be identical the richest m Alaska Unlike the enormous low grade mines Of Southeastern Alaska, which take millions Of dollars to put producing basis. the gOIbearing quartz HelnS or ms district are smaller running from IS inches co eight ten feet in width, and with the values concentrated until ore running into the hun. dreds of dollars per ton is not uncommon. These veins require far less expenditure bring into the producing class, comparatively small expenditure for mining and milling machinery, and usually pay much larger dividends the capital invested than do the larger ani lower grade deposits.
 For a number of years the Valdez district suffered
 from dearth Of capital Co develop its mines. This was que 10 great extent to the lack of knowledge throughout the United States the resources of the district and the timidity of capital entering new and untred sections. Within the past two wears capital has turned toward Alaska seeking investment and result this district has received considerable attention. and is now rapidly forging to the front within the next five the Valdez district will be one of the largest gold producers in the Territory. Before midsummer no less than five new mines will be brought into production and possibly more, and there are now twenty thirty promising prospects | being developed, with every indication that before another year has passed these, of them will have passed from prospects into mines
 Notwithstanding the number of properties under going active development there is still a large number 1t promising claims located whose owners are unable 70 do much more than the annual assessment work because of lack of the necessary funds, and these ,atms can be secured upon reasonable terms by par ies having capital sufficient to guarantee the de- 'elopment of the claims.
 No better opportunity be found for the in. estment of idle capital than in the mining industry No other branch of industry offers larger returns han mining and no other. district can offer equal opportunities for successful operations than this sec ion of Alaska t

OTHER RECORDS

There has never been canvass of the returns from an Alaska election where votes were not thrown out in the interest of regularity that would count for
 the protection of the ballot fraud In 1910 there were more than 2OOO votes in nearly 50 precincts that were not counted in the official canvass In 1912 there were 19O thrown out. In 1914 about 15O were discarded by the canvass.ng board on account Of Irregularities. The people are interested in seeing the law observed where failure to observe it might set precedents for fraud. The questions before the present Canyassing Board decide are particularly yeXatious at the present time because of the close ness of the race between Senator Sulzer and Dele gate Wickersham bu, there is no difference in the principles involved
