 The minds of the delegates were keenly alert, Rev. Marsden, MT. J.

Hibbs, principal of Klawock, and other instructive speakers, having discussed at length the food resources of the Northland and our duty toward the National Government.

 Klawock Band There.
 The Klawock school band, com prising fifteen boys between the ages of ten and fourteen years, de- lighted the visitors with their mu- sic. A year ago, when District Su- perintendent Hawkesworth was ad- dressing the delegates at the fair held at Metlakatla, he told them of the wonderful performances of the Juneau high school band to which he had listened on several occasions MT c. E. Hibbs, princi- pal of the Klawock school, took the suggestion to heart, picked out the
 musical geniuses in his grades and began drilling them. The results
 were surprising and gratifying to

 But everyone could not be winner of first honors. When Hydaburg
 carried off first and second prizes for fundamentals in arithmetic, it is recorded that the mayor of Kla- !, WOck, eyelnS WltH cHdSrln the

 emphatically declared that Klawock
 had got to have teachers who could drill in arithmetic. His wounded | feelings were somewhat appeased

 public spelling contest. by grades Back among the spectators a spir-

 contestants developed the facts that

 Advice to Natives.

 the well remembered Metlakatla bas-

 Claxtons Message.
 United States Commissioner of Education P. P. Claxton, through MT. Hawkesworth, sent to the as sembled Natives a message of thanks | for their patriotic activities in as sisting the Government. Dr. Clax- ton has a special interest in Hyda- burg, having visited it several times in it's early days when the Hawkesworths were building the model school district designed by | William T. Lopp, chief of the Alas ka School Service. Dr. Claxton be- lieves that teachers who have prov en their efficiency by deeds and stamped their constructive person ality upon the public mind should be retained as long as their useful ness lasts, in this way becoming 1 identified with certain sections oi l the country.
 It would be impossible to give full details of the fair in the space allowed, so much of interest was crowded into the five days, but il is to the credit of the Natives to say that the affair began and closed on schedule time; that Klawock which was represented by a delega. ticn hundred and sixty strong, has already made a good start toward preparations for entertaining tho people in 1909 by the construction of 2 loft. sidewalk throughout tht town; that committee of three il each of the places named on tn, award cards, Metlakatla, Hydaburg klawock, have been appointed tt make the annual school fair a towr event on selfsupporting basis. Tt this end school and village enter tainments will be given at inter vals throughout the winter fo raising funds.

THE PRICE OF HOGS.

To the Editor: In a recent issue you
gave as a reason for the decline in the
price of hogs the failure of the people
to do the usual amount Of shipping
during the epidemic.
The price. of hogs has dropped for the
simple reason, that at this time each
lyear farmers are compelled to sell. The
|stubblc is exhausted, the hogs are at
their best, both as to age and condi-
ton, and can be fattened at for less
expense than later when the weather is
cold.
Swift & Co., alias Union Stock yards,
Of Portland, make the price for hogs,
not only at Portland, but also at all
purchasing points contiguous to Port
land. Each Sunday they mail to all
stock buyers the price guaranteed for
tbs week and upon that basis the buyer
must operate, not only to make profit
for himself, but also to pay such stock
yard charges as 800 a ton for rolled
barley.
Heretofore, sows have been locked
one cent a pound. This year they are
arbitrarily locked two cents a pound,
lStags are locked so pounds each, re
gardless of size, plus two cents a pound
Iyet the lard and bacon of sows and
stays sell for as much as the lard and
bacon of top hogs.
Hogs have fallen on an average ~ a
head, but the price of lard, bacon, bans
and green meat has not been reduced
to consumers. And the decrease in
price means a net loss to the farmers
of fully 100000 a month, and a CORE
spending loss to the merchants with
whom the farmers trade.
The average man thinks farmers are
all getting rich and poins . the pres
ent high price Of hogs and grain as in
! dubitable proof Of the allegation. The
fact is, it takes five pounds Of grair
and some work to make one pound Of
pork, worth to the farmers from four
teen to fifteen cents only. The grain
is worth over sixteen cents in all mar
kets.
I knew several men who have triet
earnestly and intelligently to make
money in the hog business during tn,
last two Or three years aud all have
failed and most of them have quit il
disgust. In my immediate neighbor
hood 300 brood sows have been butch
cred within the last thirty days. These
sows would have produced fully 100000
pounds of meat next year, and while
1.-THE world is elamoring for meat, th'
hog business is being killed by thu
rapaeity of the packers. All the Hum
with whom the Americans have to con
ltend are not enlisted in the armies o.
the kaiser.
Why farmers are not getting riel
with the present high prices Of grail
may be explained in a future article
In the meantime l will discuss Swift
Co., with this statement: it contribut
ed $4,000 to the campaign expenses o.
Ia certain man who sought the republi
can nomination for U. s. senator.

For all the world is weary of war and all its works; of

more; to do the weekly ehurning, and every useful chore;
to paint the northwest gable, repair the kitchen table, to

a triumph great and splendid must finish the turmoil; and
then well bust the beezer of any sceptered geezer, of any
tin horn Caesar who'd interrupt our toll. We all are sick
sorrow, with mourning for our dead; yet there is a
tomorrow when this sad day is fled, when war lords won't
be Ringing, and workers will be singing, while doves of
peace are winging in gladness overhead.

DENMARK SPEAKS UP.

With Germany nearing political bankruptcy, mod
est little Denmark plucks up courage to present a claim
which all the world had forgotten.
1t is an instructive tale. When modern Prussia start
ed out in her ambitious project of world-dominion, the
first thing she did was to make war on her ~neighbor,
Denmark. Denmark resisted bravely, but lost. and Prus-
STA promptly helped herself to what she wanted, which
was the rich province of S~chleswig-H olstein. That
shrunk Denmark to about half her size, bottled her up in
the Danish peninsula, and gave Prussia the route she de-
sired for the Kiel canal, to connect the Baltic and North
seas.
1t was the first of three steps by which the German
empire was built, the second being the war against Aus
.tria and the third the war against France.
In the peace treaty, Germany agreed to submit the
questions of permanent possession to a referendum of the
.Scfleswig- Holstein population. Needless to say, the
was only a "scrap of paper" Germany has
never been able to find time or occasion to take care of
that little detail. Now Denmark insists that the pledge
be kept, and the plebscite be taken without further hedg-
ing or delay. If carried out honestly, it would result in
giving Denmark the northern half of the province, at least,
Thus another Prussian chicken comes home to roost.

A TRIBUTE TO AMERICA.

Why do our enemies direct their peace proposals to
the United States particularly, when we are only one OF
their foes, and so far have borne a smaller part in the
war than Great Britain, France or Italy?
Because Germany and Austria think the United
States is easy answer a few cynics. "They imagine
they can put anything over on us, because we have the
reputation of a generous, impulsive and e~asy-going dis
position"
There may be something in that. There is,very like
ly something, too, in the idea that our enemies feel safe
in approaching us precisely because we have been in the
war only a short time, and have therefore not acquired the
bitterness that comes from a long, hard struggle. We
would certainly be generous to Germany and Austria II
anybody would.
The principal reason, however, is bigger and broader
thu, these. 1t is found in the proved disinterestedness OF
the United States. The whole world, including Germany
and Austria, knows that we entered this war without any
expectation Of gettin ~ganything out of it for ourselves.
We seek no territory, no profit, not even compensatory
indemnities. We seek only the success of political and
moral principles in which we believe, and we are willing to
pay the expense of sharing them with the rest of human
ity. {,
Our enemies cannot appreciate these principles at
the value we place on them, but they cannot help recog-
nizing our idealistic position. They feel free, therefore,
to address us, even while we are fighting, almost as if we
were still neutral. 1t is a rare tribute from a foe.
