NO HOPE FROM THAT QUARTER

Yesterday we were told that another attempt was being made in Portland Oregon, to organize a company with the view of establishing steam ship service between that cityand Alaska This is not the first attempt. It is rather the fourth or maybe the fifth and it is very probable that this attempt will result like the previous-a failure.
 Three winters ago, the Portlanders-seeming- ly-got together and sent few old river scows thinking that Alaska still in the days of 97, and that any old tub would do. At that time or rather prior thereto business men all over south eastern Alaska had agreed to buy from Portland. Some did try but they had to wait months before they could get their goods. Resulting in the withdrawing of the old tubs from the run
 year or so ago, another attempt was made and from the glowing reports at that time, the Portlanders were to have palatial steamers on the run and were to take all the business away from Seattle. These reports died ''abOrning, and everybody asked, why? Shortly after, one of the Portland newspapers gave out the reason for all these failures which was that the big business interests of Portland were controlled by Seattle business men and capitalists, and natural lythe y were not going to create competition for themselves. Unless the big moneyed men of Seattle have been uprooted out of that city there is no chance for the Alaskans to ever hope to ob- tain relief they are seeking. Their relief lies in the eastern markets and shipping via the best routes

WHAT A TEMPER!

Some people cannot suffered to be annoyed
 They get all "riled" up, they are so ''peppery." For instance, you try to call up by phone certain institution here and you'll soon find what we mean by "peppery temper" If a certain person answers, you will be answered in gentle and ever pleasant manner And again if another comes to the phone, you will be told in very "peppry tone of voice" to inquire to the entire world but not to that institution, because that very person will not impart any news. The "peppery" temper of that person is in the way and chokes the conductor. They ought to be a law on our statute books compelling the renter of phone to be at least civil in answering thru the phone whenever civil question is asked, or have sign under the phone such as this for in- stance Temper easily riled up.' Then the peo- pie would know who they were addressing, and would be prepared to meet them on their own ground.

WHY NOT BE PREPARED.

Every state in the Union-or nearly so, is busy preparing their available forces that they may be ready to enter into the field of activity in case of war. Either as home guard or in the rank and file of the regular army. The aim is to be prepared to be of service to our country in time of need. Are we in Ketchikan doing our share along that line? Apparently not
 We have hundreds of men here who would be called upon to take a hand Then why not pre- pare ourselves by organizing into companies and have at least manual drills. We need not wait
