On this tablet are the names of the members of Skagway Lodge No. 431, who have alread! joined the colors and a star placed after each name indicates whether or not he Is in training camp.

THE MAN WHO PAYS AND THE
 MAN WHO PROFITS
By Theodore Roosevelt.

The men who do the fighting at The front and their mothers and wives back here are those who in this great and terrible crisis are pay i.g-the blood of the men and the tears of the women, and with the suffering of men, women and chlI- l-aU-for our failure to prepare turing the two and 8 half years be fore we entered the war. For this failure to prepare, in spite of the wust vivid warning ever given a nation, the warning that befell the rest of the world during those two aud a half years, the professed pa e.sists and the politicians who pan Gernd to them are more respons- ibIa than any one else, except the yro-Germans.
 ] W hen the war broke out, or at latest, when the Lusitania was sunk. We had done our plain duty, ve would have then begun to Diuld ships. field cannon and airplanes aaa to train men exactly as we have been doing the last year and 9 quarter, except that We should nave done the work on large scale with more efficiency and with much lnss waste and extravagaRce..
 Remember that failure to provide great numbers o' cannon and air p.aues means that the infantry has to pay for it with a huge increas- i-o of slaughter. All the guns and 2jrpIares We left unbuiIt during the first three years of the war has meant so much more bloodshed, so many more Americans killed and c5ipple3 not to speak of the tre- Meudous loss of life to our allies.
 Moreover, when men in small numbers are put in battle, when oary a few hundred thousand are creed to suffer heavy loss in do ing work which two Or three million men could have accomplish el speedily and thoroughly and with very little loss, the responsibili- t. rests on those who prevented the Ireparation in advance. If We had built quantities of ships and trained large numbers of men in advance rtr world war would have ended al most as soon as we entered, and an infinite amount of bloodsheG' would have been prevented.
 The best roll of our army oyersea is the American roll of hOnr. These Ioen have paid with their bodies for the safety of this nation in the present and the future. They have d.ed and by their death have earn cd for the rest Of Us the right to hold our heads high with pride. It is no less true, however, that their blood has been shed, and their gal l2nt lives have been spent because We did not prepare in advance.
 Ws did not prepare because our people were misled. For this mis- leading Of the people the profes- sional profiteers share the responsi- bilitv with pro-German, with sham sentimentals, with the sordid, short sighted materialists, and with all the politicians. publicists and pri- Yat. citizens, rich and poor, whose vanity or folly or self-interest pro Iited thereby.

Of the prisoners labors.
 In the agricultural field, about six acres have been under cultiVa- ton and care of the prisoners, and 9 large amount of spuds, carrots, tunips and other root vegetables fer fall and winter use, besides green stuff for the consumption of the prisoners during the summer raised.
 This thrift on the part of Marshal Tanners Skagway deputies should greatly reduce the expenses to the government for feed and fuel for tn coming year, and it has, no doubt caused a reduction in the year past wnich saw the inauguration of this employment of prisoners.

We are informed that some of the gentlemen on the other side of the creek took exception to a recent editorial in these columns which deslt with subjects of alien count tries, and especially subjects of the Scandinavian countries. Nothing has oppeared in these columns, or ever will appear here, to which any loyal citizen, whether natural ized or native born, can with justice take exception. We expect the natiye-Oorn to be loyal. We take it "s a matter of course. Those who come from other lands, become citi- gents O. their own free will and ac- cord, rather than through accident O. birth. All honor to them, When they take out their final papers and hecoms full-fledged citizeis, they Oecoms a part of us. They stand on an equality with the naitve-horn. But when they initiate their citi- zenship by taking out ther first pa- pers, and then when the country Zets into trouble, renounce their action and put forth the claim that they are subjects of an alien coun- try, 10 escape responsibility and lia- hiIitv to military service, We con fess that their sincerity is open to suspicion, and it is but right and proper that thereafter citizenship shall forever be denied them.

'I estimate," says Mir. Richmond, that the figures shown in the fore going show yield of 50 per cent on the average for each camp men tioned. l gathered the figures from interior operators, bank men and others in close touch. The falling oFP is due largely to men being called away to war and to conse- quent labor shortage, and to the fact the ground is low grade, and will not pay to work during the period of high costs. Many no doubt will come North after the war, and l look for great activity then in Yukon and Alaska. It will be found that & vast number of young men who have been taken from shops and stores and made soldiers and thus learned to like the outdoorlife never will be satis- fled to go back and tie themselves down to the indoors life. They will want to keep close to nature and to ne under the blue skies and to experience adventure and the op- portunity of making fortunes for themselves. For such type the North will open vast and fas- cinating field, and they will come.
 Old northerners will come pack and will bring many other people "ith them. The best days Of Yukon ond Alaska are in the future.
 q estimate that the Tanana valley this winter will have $500 people; the Iditarod, 400; Rupy, 25O; Koyukuk, 15O; Marshall, 100. have not heard much re- specting Nome, but possibly there will be 1000 on the Seward pen insula. All these figures are prob ably 50 per cent below the normal. Nome was hard hit early in the season by reason of the fact, I am told, that the forty dredges of that country shut down just at at the beginning of the season. It seems that the employees there struck for more wages just at the opening of the season, and the op- orators, knowing they could not pay more wages when costs of food and material are so high and gold has lost its purchasing power, refused to grant the desired increase. The operators simply shut down and remained shut down.
 "At Nenana about 700 men are working for the government railway and TOO more people are in the town and vicinity. The railway Is extended out forty miles from the town, and construction is continuing under direction of MT. Brown, who seems to be making a good record. Work also is under way on the Fairpanks-Nenana section.
 "One of the best producing pro perties in the Iditarod this year was that owned by Jerry Ford and Al Walsh, and worked on lay by Walsh and Tom Aitken. It pro- duced $S4,O00. The property is on a high hill, as high and dry as the big hills surrounding Dawson. " Dawson News,
