The old saying that there are More ways than one to kill cat was never more forcibly eXemplifed than by the order issued by the Navy Department that "No more contracts shall be given the shipbuildng concerns on the Pacific coast until they can demonstrate their ability to curb the l. w. w.
 Years back the Seattle people decided that the government should give them a contract to build battleship. In order to secure that con- tract the business men went down in their pock- cts and contributed several hundred thousand dollars The contract was completed in an ad- mirable manner. This put Seattle on the ground floor as it were, for the future Embolden by their former success, at the outbreak of the war they importuned the government for more con- tracts, which they got aplenty. From that day dates their clear manifestation of greed for money to the exclusion of everything else Even to the extent of overlooking the threaten ing wave created by the disturbing element that was pouring upon them--the I. W. W. Soon that clement secured control of labor, raising cain in general throughout the -gestern states and in particular in the Seattle shipyards and other coast plants; resulting in the total failure to complete their contracts with the government
 A few days ago it was thought the federal government would take hand and resume work on the contracts. But now it appears that on a second thought another manner of killing the cat was found; which is to cut out in the future the Pacific coast shipbuilding plants of contracts No more effective remedy could have been found This cut out" business will hurt like sixty, both the pride and the pockets of those people. Di- rectly, we won't be able to see the l. w. w. for the dust raised in their hurry to get away from those enraged people. Just watch and see the Seattle spirit learn it's lesson.

PATRoNIzE HOME INDUSTRY.

From now on, patronize home industry should be our slogan.
 By all means let us use as much as possible of whatever products may be raised in the conn' try before sending outside. All that part of Alaska west and north of Seward is being taken I'D rapidly and all kinds of garden truck is be- ing raised. If we want to develop the country it is up to us to use it, thereby encourage others to follow.
 As Mr. Christensen says in his letter pub lished yesterday "A market for their products is what those people need. "Ketchikan people can use great deal of that and help to that ex- tent. Besides everything else being equal, we should patronize home industry. Which is the best way to encourage settlers.
