GOOD WORK

Only praise is due the members of the City Coun- c purchasing for the city and for the of the fisheries industry Shatuck dock property and the tract These two properties and the City Dock that lies between them, gives the city control of enough the front for large fishing fleet, cold storage plants and the other facilities caring for fish and shipping. They finely To- cated only for by the shipping companies that the City Dock but they connect directly with the Pacific Steamship Company's fine wharf The de- best water front facilities north of Puget Sound.
 The Merchants Protective Association also is titled gratitude every citizen who is inter ested in Juneau for initiating this matter and aiding the City Council in the arrangement of plans to it successful conclusion. The committee appoint ed to handle the fisheries proposition for the Mer chants Protective Association-George F. Forrest chairman Henry Shattuck, William Britt, John Beck and H. J. Fsher-did excellent work It took the question up in systematic manner and carried for ward with vigor
 But the work of making Juneau a center for the fisheries industry has only just started The property secured by the city must be developed for the earliest possible date Then it will be everybody's job to boost the fisheries business. We get the buy here that all the fish delivered at Juneau will be purchased prices that will make unprofable for fishermen to further, and must sell ice and bait as cheapy they be obtained elsewhere. We must keep at the proposition until Juneau is of the big fish markets of the Pacific coast.

FOURTH COMMITTEE AUDITS
 BILLS FOR CELEBRATION

The Fourth of July executive com mittee met yesterday afternoon in the City Hall and audited the bills for the celebration. All bills were in with the exception of one, which was approximated. and the final ac- count shows that about $500 will re- main on hand to be turned over to the Red Cross. This will not be done, however, until near the end of the present week as the committee desires to feel sure that all bills have been turned in before parting with the money.
 Approximately $10O, which was subscribed for the Fourth still re- mains uncollected, but the committee will go after it within the next two days and when the check for the balance is finally drawn in favor of the Red Cross the committee will dis band with a clean sheet.

POTATOES FOR ENGLAND CAUSE
 FOR BIG RIOT Angry Rotterdam Women Seize Spuds which
 Are Ready for
 Shipment. COAL VERSUS POTATOES Holland, England and the Hun Land Mixed up in Three-cornered
 Proposition.
COAL VERSUS POTATOES

LONDON, July 9.-A dispatch to the Times from Amsterdam reports that a crowd of women stormed a dozen barges in the inner harbor at Rotterdam recently and seized a ton of potatoes destined for Eng land.
 The barges, which were loaded with 11,000 tons of potatoes, then were removed to the outer harbor, guarded by the police. The trouble has arisen, according to the cores pandent. between Holland and Eng land and Germany. Germany ex- pected last week a consignment of new potatoes in return for German exports of coal to Holland
 Before a consignment could be made 11,000 tons of potatoes had to be shipped to England under con- tract. The people of Rotterdam, who themselves are supplied insufficient ly, learning that these potatoes were awaiting shipment, raided the barg- es. Meanwhile the Germans are threatening to cease coal supplies unless the potatoes are sent.
 The correspondent says that if the Dutch yield to German pressure and send these potatoes to Germany, they will break their agreement with England and endanger their supply of grain from America, which might prove as serious as the loss of Ger man coal.

WHY NOT HAVE POTATO DAY FOR ANCHORAGE?
Anchorage Damocratl

The States have for number of years recognized the necessity of setting aside day celebrate the occasion of event and by reason this celebration in the shape of tag day. the people have had their interest and attention centered the issue in interest?
 Along this line it seems that it is high time to mention to the citizens of Anchorage get together ana arrange potato day. California has it's raisen day at which time all good patriotic Californians buy, fry and try raisns The State Washington has it's apple day, and all residents of that state to realize the necessity of bringing the lowly apple to the front and 1t is highly unnecessary to remark that the chief products of these two States are given a great sale upon these days and only sold quanti-
 ties in their respective States are well advertised throughout the Union.
 Now that Spring has gone and summer is here is 1t not natural that we get together and bring to the attention or the world the high quality and the hourishng elements Of our Alaska potato and wheth- CT or not the world needs advice ourselves should do all that is within power help the rancner ana increase the productivity of farms By all means let us have Potato Day. and let each one or us take 1t upon ourselves stir up interest m this connection and develop enthusiasm along this line.

ATTITUDE OF RUSSIA'S CHURCH
Chicago Heraldl

Of all the news that has recently out of Russia is significant than what Mir. Charles R. Crane of the American commission writes of the attitude of the Russian church. Many Americans, ic- calling it's close connection with the bureaucracy through it's holy synod which practically depart- ment of the government, have feared it might prove a secret favOrer of reaction Such is the case.
 The Russian church. from what Mr Crane says, has not only not even impledy protested against state of affairs but has adjusted itselI rapidly than even the civil government. It gives cry indication of sympathy with the change Church and state have already practically been separated. Great representative assemblies of the orthodox church and of the "old believers recently held at Moscow emphasized the fact of popular control and the absence Of the former bureaucratic aspect.
 The hold of the church on the great mass of the Russian people is known. It largely by assuming the practical headshp of the church. in and fol- lowing the times of Peter the Great, that the Czar attracted to himself such wide unquestionng loy- atty theocratc monarch is a fact of the first importance that this unifyng national organiza tion may be counted for the national cause
