Corporation Wrongs.

We all remember the cutlery against
vested interests of the capitalists
There have been great wrongs done
by many corporations-som of their
franchises have been obtained by cor
rupti0n and theft and great injuries
have often been done to the rights of
the people; and so, when we found
times hard and things going wrong,
we have vented our anger upon cor
poratons and upon the capitalists who
controlled them. In many cases we
allowed ourselves to become angry
with a class or with certain indlvid-
uals and expended our strength on
our temper, rather than upon n study
of the cure of the conditions about
which we complained; ana IN many
instances we punished corporations
for the wrongs OF their predecessors
IN ownership, much as sins Of parents
are visited upon their children.

over of the railroads of the country by the government and of the good that may be expected by the ex- tension of this policy to Alaska later on. Wickersham was opposed to government operation of public utilities. In his campaign speeches on the coast Wickersham tells his hearers that the railroad is a failure and in every possible way tries to detract from the great value to the country of the existence of this road. He makes his speeches vary to suit the audiences and apparently succeeds, to some extent, in con- veying false impressions to the minds of his hearers.
 There are a few friends of the railroad in Congress, he said, and it behooves all Alaskans to see that the right sort of representation is made at the capital in order that the necessary money for the build ing of the road and the development of the country can be obtained. Wickersham was making capital of what he termed the engineering mistakes at this end of the railroad in his misdirected effors to discredit Governor Riggs, who was in charge here when the construction work was commenced This policy, he pointed out was fatal to the best interests of this great northland and would have a tendency to with hold the much needed appropriation for a continuance of construction work and seriously retard the coun- try's development The engineering mistake which Wickersham played up so largely, he said, was not any worse than similar mistakes that are fairly all over the States. The his tory of any big road in the United States would show that engineering mistakes of a similar nature were fairly common, in fact engineering mistakes of very much greater magnitude have been made, but not much was said of them. He gave several instances of such. Mr. Ryan also referred to the engineering mis- take in the construction of the Panama Canal and the Culebra cut, and told of the enormous expense the country had to stand for this mistake to be partly rectified and yet we refer to the Panama Canal

 This reference was made to give one more instance of Wickersham's unfitness to repreent the best inter ests of Alaska. It was no easy task. MT. Ryan said, to get appropriations. for the continuance of railroad work, especially so as the original

Dearest Parents: We have at last

tains are the foothills of the Alps. We
have been sleeping in the pup tents"
while the barracks are being fumigat

have the bed sacks on the ground, then

blankets A fellow named Burlsaner
from Milwaukee is my tent mate. His
folks have big distillery in the city.
We have a good place for the supply
office in one of the buildings, and our
department and the ordnance depart
ment are in one room.
Up where we are fellow needs to
know how to speak German, for there
are lots of Germans here. There is a
pretty town about four kilometers dis
tant and we can go there after work
ing hours.

old company from Stoughton in the

number of them out about six miles, so
| will try and see them / also met
Bill Wadell and Harvey Davis in here
too. They are in the Signal corps.
The hills are full of goats which the
people own and they milk them just as
we do the cows. They have two or
three to each family. We can get fine
Swiss cheese at the cafe and it sure
does taste good. I had to laugh at one
place. A fellow named Schmidt runs
the cafe.
We had an all night ride here on flat
cars. l tried to sleep but the train
bumped and rolled too much. Since
coming here | have seen several aerial
battles. Today there was one, and
quite a few machines, could not tell
how many enemy planes. We could
just see the machines, but could hear
the shooting very distinctly. It is son1e

l.r nosslna JOURNAL .,se,.l LsAssD wIasl


San Francisco, Calf, Sept. 13.-An
order holding up all shipments of
prunes outside the state for civilian
consumption pending a survey of the
damage done the prune crop by the
prevailing unprecedented rain fall.
was issued today by the federal food
administration for California. The or
der was issued to insure a sufficient
quantity to fill immense government
contracts.
1t was estimated by packers and
others that the rain would cause a
loss of between twenty-five and fifty
per cen of the toal crop. The govern
ment had contracted for $1,000, 600
pounds.
Oregon and Washington packerg
and shippers were instructed by the
food administration to withhold ship
ment of prune orders for civilian uses
as a precautionary measure in the in
terests of the government needs, it
was announced.
Word has ben received here that
the military authorities have placed
1000 soldiers at Camp Fremont, Calf
at the disposal of the prune orchard
lists in the Santa Clara valley to help
save the crop, the complete destruct-
ion of which was said to be threat
ened by continuing rainfall. The
soldiers will not be called out until
Monday, representative of the grow
ers said.
Weather bureau officials here con-
firmed reports that the total loss on
account of the heavy rains would
amount to millions.

AME ER|CANS TAKE
$4,000 CAPT|VES
IN FIRST THRUST
In Addition to Bagging Many
Prisoners, u, S, Troops
Succeed in BIotting Out the
St, MihieI Salient,

London, Sept 13 (7:00 d. m, by
the Associated Press) Twelve thou
sand prisoners have been taken BY ths
Americans in their offensive at st
Mihiel. The entire salient now has
been captured.
The railway from Verdun to Com
mercy, Toul and Nancy now is open
to the entente allies.
All the villages in the st Mihiel
salient were captured by the Ameri-
cans, and the front in this sector was
reduced from some forty miles to 9
little under twenty miles.
The latest new from the st. Mihiel
sector shows that the battle line now
runs directly from Pagny on the Mo-
selle river to Hattonville and along
the front of the heights Of the Meuse
Pagny, a town on the Moselle river
is on the western border of Germany
In addition to the IL. 900 prisoners
who have been counted large numbers
of Germans are still coming in.
Most of the villages captured by
the Americans in the st. Mihiel salient
were left in good condition by the
Germans. The town of ST. Mihiel was
practically undamaged.
The Germans left the railroad from
Verdun to Commercy-Tou and Nancv
intact and this road will prove a great
help to the entente allies.
Another valuable line of rail from
Thaiucourt to st. Mihiel by which the
Germans fed their troops in the sal
lent, also was left intact. The opera :
tion of the Americans must be re-
garded as big local success All the
detectives were reached.
The claim made by the Germans in
the official communication that they
foresaw the evacuation of the St.
Mihiel salient and prepared for II for
as many years as the war has lasted
hardly Is borne out In view of the
number of prisoners and guns taken.
At the same time the fact that very
few stores were left behind appears
to indicate that the Germans had pre-
pared to quit the ground,

Grating French forces, many army
officials here believe, is only the en-
tering wedge of operations OF far
larger scope
Official dispatches still were de-
layed and the full scope OF the VIC
tory won by the Americans in their
first independent action could not be
gagged. II was regarded as probable,
however, that General Pershing's men
still were pressing forward to get in
touch with the new line the enemy
hopes to hold,
Until definite word comes ais to the
line across the mouth Of the de-
Jstroyed salient which the Americans
holdl officers here will lie unable to
form opinions as to the most probable
course future operations in this thea
ter Will take There is q strong belief,
however that the quick reduction of
the st. Mihie salient will be made
the cornerstone of great encircling
movement aimed at isolating the Ger
man fortress of Metz, the center but
tress Of the whole German front from
the North VA to the Swiss border.
Importance of Victory
The strategic importance of Gen
eral Pershings smashing victory hard
ly can he over-estimated in tho opin-
ion Of many observers. It is out of all
proportion to the extent o fthe terri
tory regained or the forces employed,
il is said, for the removal of this me-
mace in the rear of the French cita-
del Of Verdun has released the
French armies from that point to
Rheims for active offensive opera
tons. 1t has also liberated the railway
line from Verdun to Commercy, Toul
ard Nancy, which will be of the ut
most value to General Pershing and
to the French armies on his left in
supporting future operations along
this front.
1t was the loss of this railroad, sew
cred by the Germans In 1914, with the
capture OF ST. Mihiel, which placed
the Vcrdun fortress In grayest jeop-
ardy and brought on the battle OF
