THE success of fur farmers in the vicinity of Valdez opens the proba- bility of a new industry for the com- munity. Prince William Sound has hundreds of islands, we'll wooded, with good water and plenty of fox feed in the vicinity in the shape Of fish and mussels of various kinds. Parties who started on a small scale a few years ago are now on the road to prosperity. The government will lease you an island at very low rate per annum, and Valdez fur buyers will take all the furs at top price. There is no use for any young man to sit around and say he has no chance to make money. The hills are full of foxes and the Sound is full of ;sl- ands. Get them together and the re- suit will be easy money.

MADISON, Wis, Jan.11.-As a measure of economy for the first time in the history of Wisconsin the con stitutional state officers-elect are now ready and qualified to take posses sion of their respective state offices noon next Monday without the usual inaugural ceremonies.

A BACK.HANDED COMPLIMENT

The Anchorage Times, at so late a date as the end of December, in an editorial bearing on the election, actually credits The Prospector with an attempt to be fair in the matter of printing the election returns, but spells it's efforts by adding that as The Prospector was a supporter of the Democratic candidate for Dele gate to Congress it ''is not giving its candidate any the worst of it, nor is it giving the Delegate any the best of it in the returns"

SUIT WILL DETERMINE
 SCOPE OF CLAYTON ACT

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. H. Suit was brought today in. the New ark, N.

 The suit, department officials say will have an important bearing in determining the scope of the Clayton act.

This is true to this extent, that as speedily as the returns have been re- ceiyed at the ofice of the Clerk O.. the Court The Prospector has pub lished them without reservation, and these official returns show that while there were a few slight errors in the telegraphic reports sent out shortly after the election, that at no time has The Prospector attempted to conceal the true reports. What would such |subterfuge avail it? Nothing wha:- ever, and any attempt at such deceit by a paper must eventually be expos ed and forever lose it's reputation for honestly and truthfulness with cut which no newspaper can be sue |cessful.
 In this same editorial the Times says that Talkeetna gave the delegar Ia splendid plurality of 20 votes. and this may change the hitherto accep = ed results. Inasmuch as the official returns had been received here and printed in The Prospector and were included in the figures which gave at that time Sulzer his plurality of 12, it would be difficult to know how this return would in any way affect the result, or how, as the Times says. "As the electoral vote of California decided the presidential election, sI may the vote of Talkeetna decide tae Delegate election in Alaska"

SUPERMEN.

The founder of the Army League of the United States asserts that his torians and writers of American school books without exception have suppressed, with studied care, the disasters this country has often suf- fered and the blunders we have com mitted owing to the absence of pro- per military policy"
 IL is true-particularly SO far as our school books are concerned. Our children have been reared in a haze of misstatements and our forefathers have been pictured as supermen who overcame every obstacle and who ate Indians and other enemies for breakfast. They are pictured as being infallible, possessed of unerring judgment and guided by a favoring Providence; whereas they were mere ly men, possessing ordinary courage, uneducated, superstitious, and full of braggadocio and grit. But they made grievous mistakes, as the real history of our country shows, and many of those mistakes might have been avoided had the army and navy beer taken out of politics ard proper encouragement given.
 !. is no reflection upon the fathers of cur country u say that i'll lighting for freedom in two wars they met with disasters on account of lack of proper training, which would have been provided by well conceived military policy. It is no reflection on them to quote Washington as saying tke volunteer soldier is a failure when he faces seasoned troops; or that the volunteers who attempted to defend the capital during the war of 1912 were utterly panic stricken when they faced vastly inferior force, and He'd incontinently, permitting the capitol to be burned to the ground by the British.
 It was not the fault of the men. They had been reared under rhe shad- ow of halo until they believed them selves invincible. They had never had their courage tested; they had never smelled burnt powder nor heard the whine of bullet by their ears. The American when properly trained is one of the best soldiers m the world because he is the most re- sourceful. But no man, however brave he may be, can face a trained man Oh equal terms. The battl, of Bull Kun was little better than a riot, be- cause neither side had been trained to flight. The Southerners had no discipline and lacked the initiative to follow up their advantage, and had the Northern hosts had competent mcn in charge they would have re- formed and advarced again while the enemy were of guard in tha txuber- ence of victory.
 The European war has fully dem- onstrated the fact that modern war is a scientific business anu the so.- dier who goes into it must be scien- tifically trained if he is to be 100 per cent efficient. This has been true in the past, even in our own wars, but not to the extent it is today. We have paid dearly for every victory we have won and probably we shall pay ill still greater measure if tho misfortune o1 war overtakes us with a farmer fol Secretary of State and pr litician for Secretary of War.
 Unless the army and navy are plac ed under direction of men trained 1T the science of war we can never pro cure armies to match the countries
