THE LABOR SHORTAGE.

No worse calamity could befall the in tcrior of Alaska than an acute shortage o1 labor It would seriously affect the develop ment of the entire district and give Us a black eye for several years to come. This early in the season it is becoming evident that there are not nearly sufficient workmen here to fill all the jobs which will be open shortly The work of the Alaska Road com mission will soon begin with openings for from seventy-five to a hundred men, Mining operations are just beginning, and there will be numerous jobs calling for workers The Alaskan railroad work will open up in full blast in few weeks, and this work alone is capable of draining the labor resources of the entire district, and then possibly being short of men,
 Just at present there are more men at Nenana than have work, but the surplus of labor Is not sufficient to take care of the needs of the immediate future Of course, many men will undoubtedly come in on the first boats, but not enough are expected to take care of the railroad commissions wants. Ii no new labor comes in, the experience of last fall will be again undergone, when min ing operators were unable to secure men to complete their seasons operations. With such condition prevailing from the begin ming of this season, there will be bad fall ing off in the camps production, and con sequent loss of business. Nor will this be confined to the creeks immediately adjacent to Fairbanks The new camp of Tolovana will require large number of workmen, and any shortage of labor there will be felt in Fairbanks almost as badly as 1t would if the shortage existed in the local market.
 The Commercial club has been watching the situation closely, and several months ago realized that unless steps were taken to pre- vent it a labor shortage this spring and sum- mer was inevitable. However, owing to the uncertainty concerning both the Road commits sion and the Alaskan railroad appropriations action was delayed until some definite move was made in these two matters. But now that these appropriations are assured, the To- cal organization has set the wheels in mo- tion to secure the needed labor
 It is extremely doubtful whether they will be able to get the number of men want ed. Information from the States indicates that there is shortage in labor all over the country. Jobs are going begging for men. A recent arrival from Seattle tells of 1,2OO men leaving there during the last few weeks. Out of these men, large part of whom were bound for the interior in search of employ

TO HELP RUSSIA.

The United States, i'll sending commits sion to Russia, is showing that the country still remembers the difficulties which beset 1t in the days of its first formation. While this commission is not making the trip to try to saddle on Russia and the Russians any of the principles of government which have been tested and developed by America, it is there for the prime purpose of rendering the new government any form of aid that IS desired.
 The formation of new government for the Russian people is a big job. Her citizen ship is composed of about one-sixth of the population of the entire world, and comprises many races whose interests are vast and va rled To establish a government that will be common to the whole body and at the same time representative of each division of the people is the task with which the provisional government IS confronted.
 At the time of the establishment of the United States, no such task had to be accom- plished, for the mass of the people were of English stock, with a few descendants of the French and Spanish in the southeastern colo nies. Every succeeding year has seen the addition of different nationaitles, until today the citizens of America number among them descendants of practically every race.
 It is therefore very probable that Am erican statesmen will be able to materially assist the Russians in many ways. It is cer- tain that when the needs of the Russians are

THE ALASKA COLLEGE.

Yesterday the legislature passed the bill providing for the establishment and conStruc- ton of the Alaska Agricultural and Mechanl- cal College. Thus have the efforts ot Tar banks people and organizations, united, been rewarded. This should bring home torc1by the fact that united work accompllohes won ders
 Now that the institution is provided 1or we should not go to sleep on the job. It won't amount to much unless we get behind and push it along \ new school, like new baby, has to be given the best of attention Ill order to grow to its proper stature, and glHc the service that it is intended for.
 Our job is, ill fact, just started, and while we will have the help oi the remainder oi the territory in seeing that 1t lives, 1t Is primarily up to Us, as being the ones most vitally concerned It is our duty to see that all Alaska realizes that it is not a local instl- tuton and that Nome Juneau, Seward, Ruby or any part ol the territory has just as much to say about it as we have. In no other way will 1t ever amount to anything.
 Great credit is due the representatives Of the Fourth division in both houses for the splendid fight they have put up. This, o1 course eNcepts our amiable friend the pro hibition leader (. k. Snow, who has devoted himself to trying to defeat the measure. While all of the remainder have been cxertng them selves to the utmost and fighting an uphill battle and one that up to the last minute seemed to be losing one, in the lower house he was crying "pork' and claiming that the college was not needed and similar rot. His attitude has made the work of his colleagues all the harder, and the credit which IS given them for their splendid victory is all the more on account of Shows narrow-mnded oppo- stion.
 In bcstoWing credit on our own repre- that we and in fact all Alaska, owe to those members from the other divisions who stood with them and voted with them. The thanks and best wishes of every citizen of the Fourth division are extended to them.
 Now that the bill has passed, we hope and believe that the opposition to the college IS q thing of the past It should be. We have no word of criticism for those who held different opinions to ours that was and is their right But with the creation of this Alaskan institution, the time for knocking has passed. It is the duty of every true AL askan to see that the school now gets the sup port which 1t must have to live. Let us en- deavor to make it one for Alaska and of Alaska, and so truly Alaskan that 1t will be one of the greatest forces in the development of our great country and reflect the glory of Alaska throughout the remainder of the nation.

GERMANY HAS
 HER TROUBLES

WASHINGTON. D. C, Apr 26-- According to official dispatches re ceIvcd by the state department. in tcrnal conditions in Germany are much upset by numerous strikes. and scenes of violence and disorder are widespread throughout the German empire The disorders are taking the shape of strikes and lockouts as protest against further con tinuance of the war, and to empha- size the demands of the Socialist. Democrat parties for radical reforms of the existing form of government.
 There is nothing resembling an active revolution in these strikes. and it is thought that there is not much possibility of a revolt against the government at this time. The government has too much power to enable any organization of the mass es to use much force.

mcnt, only one man got d, far a, Fairbanks. The remainder found jobs along the coast
 The entire coast region is experiencing the commencement of a prosperous year. New canning plants are being constructed at several points. and hundreds oi men are be ing employed there, and will be until late in the faE With these conditions prevailing, Fairbanks will indccd be fortunate if she se- cures as many men as she k sure to need. The Commercial club acted wisely in adver- Using for laborers. It should not stop with the mere advertisement, They should asccr- tain, and probably will do SO, what results are obtained from the call sent out, and if the responses are insufficient, more strenuous efforts should be made Ii the interior is to enjoy the full benefits of the prosperous year that k facing us, we must be ready to keep all branches of work in the country go- ing steadily, and enlarge our output in every line to the fullest extent.

 The selection of Elihu Root as chairman of the American commission to Russia gives promise ot unusual ability and efficiency ioI that body, and takes it out of mere partisan politics, since Mir. Root has been for years a leading spirit of the Republican party and a member of Republican cabinets, as we'll as senator from New York
 He has always been primarily a man oi action his writings and speeches holding secondary place He first came into national prominence in 1898. Prior to this time he was known as leading member of the New \ lork bar and a leading citizen of that com monwealth. President Mckinley, at the out break of the war with Spain, persuaded Mr. Root to accept the position of secretary of war, and his official career continued almost unbroken until last year, when he retired from the United States senate
 During all this time he has been cassed as man of deeds, and not of words. He las been characterized as ''constructive statesman, and not one who eXpounds 1t from the platform. Many of his achievements are part of our governmental and interna- tional history.
 While he was secretary of war, he brought about a reorganization of our army Because of our military occupation of the Philippines, Porto Rico and Cuba, the war department necessarily was charged with the administration of these regions. To him, more than to any other one man, fell the task of working out the problems of government for these island territories. Afterward, as sec retary of state he played an important part in settling controversies over the North At lantic fisheries and other things between the United States and Great Britain. All these differences were adjusted by the rule of com mon sense, and enlightened methods. In deal ing with Central and South American ques tions of more than casual importance he showed himself to be a diplomat of high standing and great pacificator. In dealing with Japanese situations he was notably sue cessful.
 Mr. Root at the time of his retirement from the United States senate was in the height of his intellectual powers, and today he stands out as ore of the foremost of Am erican statesmen He will be able to render the country, Russia also, valuable services, and his selection by President Wilson is no more than a just recognition of his worth With him as chairman. the commission is sure to do great things for Russia

THE HAND OF FELLOWSHIP.

It is rather difficult for Us of this sec ton of the country to appreciate the real ex tent of the damage and injury done to the town of Douglas, and in a smaller degree to Juneau, by the flooding of the Treadwe properties last Saturday and Sunday. But even at this distance the losses and resultant trade depression are staggering. The com pany, we are inclined to believe, are we'll able to stand their part of the damage, but for some time to come the surrounding towns and Douglas city are sure to be hard hit Juneau, of course, having a greater diversity of resources, will feel the effect of a smaller payroll much less than her neighbor
 We extend our sympathy to our sister Alaskan towns, and at the same time express our belief that the setback to them both is only temporary. The northern spirit of fight ing best under disadvantages is sure to over come this obstacle to their prosperity, and we hope that this year will be to them, as to the remainder of the Alaskan towns, the best in their history
