ONE HINDRANCE

The lack of French and British terminal facilities at shipping points is contributing large measure to the shortage Of tonnage to handle the commerce Of the world at the present time: It said that these are especially lacking the great importing points of France-Hayre Bordeaux and Marseles. state ment issued by French government says that from 16O to TO large vessels have been delayed for months in securing room at the docks discharge their goes The ports mentioned constantly crowded by vessels than can do nothing but lie anchor and collect demurrage. Then. when they find dockage room the wharves and warehouses and freight yards are so cIuttered wich accumulated freight that for their cargoes cannot be found IL is said that the carrying capacity ot ships engaged in transatan tic commerce with French ports could be doubled if the port facilities could be improved that freight could be received and taken away fast the ships could carry 1t.
 It is claimed that this congestion at French sea- ports particularly and, to somewhat lesser extent, British ports. is having a damaging effect Ameri- can trade-Ioca as well foreign. On account of it thousands of are held American ports without place to unload because the ships cannot take freight away fast enough to make room for the housing Of! goods consigned from interior American points Eur ope This condition contributing materially the American car shortage which is hampering business in this country Cars that should be moving the various railroads held for weeks and months in yards and at sidings with their loads intact.
 There is hope of relief in sight in the circumstance that American and foreign shipping interests and the French government have set about determined ef fort to remedy the situation IT success attends their combined efforts it is claimed that there will be a marked increase in foreign and domestic traffic both on sea and land

THE PART OF THE INDIANS

The part that the Indians will play in the future Of Alaska is matter that is well worth the earnest consideration Of all the people Whatever may have been said in truth in the past about the treatment or the Red Man by the American people and their gov ernment there is none who will question that full jus tice is being done him now and that he is showing that he capable of returning good for good by be- coming useful citizen. The government annual re- ports disclose that the American Indians gaining in population. wealth and usefulness. Most of them can read and write There are farmers, manufac- turers tradesmen and professional men among them in great numbers. Two representatives among them have seats in the United States Senatc-though both of these are more than halt white. Senator Owen, Of Oklahoma is tiGvesteenths Cherokee. and Senator Curtis of Kansas. has something more of Indian blood in lis veins More than one-tEird of the Indians are church members, and threeiourths Of them self supporting
 The character of work that has brought about this result in the Nation at large is being prosecuted in Aaska-In a more or less hatng manner it is charged and possibly correctly far as it relates to some sections the Territory but with excellent results when everything is considered.
 Having demonstrated through actual practice that the American Indian is capable Of being saved and the manner how there is no reason why greater speed should not follow the efforts bring civilization home to Alaska Indians than made in the States
 The census returns show tha- there more than 8OOOO Indians in Alaska. Their numbers should in- crease and they should become strong force in the development Of the Territory Teach them to work and transact business to conserve their health ges and accumuatiors, and they would contribute im- mensely to the development Of the Territory.

Maybe it would help some if they would let the dogs alone and mug gle some of the people.
 Among the other funny things in life are a fat woman trying to look Indignant and a fat man trying to look Important
 The stubborn man who would rather lose a friend than an argu- ment usually loses both.
 What has become of the old-fash- toned man who referred to women as the Female Sect?
 Even the geOmetrical expert who knows that there is no such thing as the Biggest Half is always trying to get it.
 Another bore is the orator who announces that "The time has pass ed for words, and then uses about 5000 of them.
 Some people get so much exercise out of batting themselves on the back that they do not require any other kind.
 People are always willing to do you a favor when they know that you do not need it.
 Maybe one reason why Mexico is so sassy is because it doesn't think much of any nation that has only two living eX-Presidents.
 Any dub can die for a woman. But it takes a hero to marry her and earn a living for her.
 After man has been married for @ while he knows enough to apolo- gize to his wife every time she does to offend him.
 None of us admit it. But most of us have a sneaking idea that the rest of the world would have a hard time worrying along without us.
 It may sound paradoxicaI. But it takes a man with staying Quali- ties to make a go of a thing.
 Maybe the reason why women get off street cars that way is because heir clothes button up the back.
 It is a waste of time for a mar 'ied woman to advise single girl | against marriage. The single girl | has just enough curiosity in her makeup to find out the reason for herself.

 The men really need neither doe tors nor nurses, as there are plenty of good doctors and plenty of men who can be trained to nurse their fellow sufferers. But they do need some one who will see to their equipment.
 We then saw the kitchen. Men receive their rations usually once a day, five or more, according to the supply of pans, served in one basin.
 Some prisoners have knives and forks; some have not The latter use their fingers, and the fellow who swallows fastest gets the most,
 The money allowed by the Russian government is 27 kopecks a head By the time it gets to the camp it amounts to 41& kopecks and on meat. less days 3h kopecks.
 A popular device employed by the prisoners is when some one dies not to report him dead, but to keep him on the diet list.
 The bread was exhausted The soup was made chiefly of sterile wa ter and grease, to which one might add salt. We saw other camps in which conditions were very much the same; but one called the cir. cus," I must mention particularly. A big round structure of plain boards, which had been condemned by the authorities of Omak. An American bought it with the intention of mak. ing a skating rink of it, but he was stopped by the city authorities be. cause the place was considered un- safe
 This was the place we found full of men, so full that not all could sleep at one time. The place had no yard or court for anyone to walk about in. Here we found a hudIled human mass in a dark place with the only light coming from the top of the building during the short day light hours. The cold suffered by those directly under the roof day in and day out was intense,
 The listlessness and helplessness of these persons stGring down at uz quiet, subdued, with not a murmer of complaint-how was it possible to reach the stage where complaint was no longer possible?

 In a statement issued yesterday, Comptroller of the Currency Williams properly refers to this showing as evidence of a healthy distribution of wealth and banking resources under the Federal Reserve system A few financial centers monopoized the great banks. Now States are represented in the list that formerly were unknown in high banking circles except as feeders dependents. In place of congestion we have dissemination and every section of the country has participated in the development
