THE wrecking of the Pigott Print ing plant at Seattle Saturday night by band of naval men is a terrible thing to happen in Democratic coun- try. Those who know MT. Pigott know that his loyalty to the government and to the state is unquestiOned, and he has always been foremost in every thing pertaining to the good Of the city or the state. The plant was one of the oldest and best in the city, and was model one in every way. It Is hoped that the perpetrators of these lawless acts will be brought to jus tice, as Mir. Pigott as job printer, is absolutely blameless of any acts cal culated to embarrass the government, and hired only union men of high standing and ability as workmen. As a citizen he is far ahead of those who perpetrated the act of lawlessness, and reparation should be made to him by the government for his loss.

Fearless Japanese Official.

Of all the eccentric characters in Japan. one of the most famous and distinguished fs probably viscount Dr. Inajir Taiiri. president of the i'm perial board of audit. He natters mo- body. not excepting himself. says a correspondent. and Is feared by all who are not sincere. The late Prince Katsura was once scolded by him, and not long ago Baron Shibusawa waxed hot In anger at a public meeting as he rose to refute the charges of cOmmer- rial corruption which Viscount Tajiri had made against JapAn's business world at large. He is OutspOken when he thinks the occasion demands out spOkenness. Fearlessness of public opinion or ridicule Ia dramatically ex- emplified in the very simple and unpre- tentious life that he Is leading. His food is of the simplest variety. He daily carries to the office bentO box filled with rice and some pickled plums, and during the past 4O years he has ever stuck to his Spartan lunch.

\ WISE DECISION

The decision of the Bureau of Fish cries to close the Copper River to commercial fishing Is a wise one. and one that will meet with the approba- tion of all who have the welfare of Alaska at heart. Of late years the na- lives around Copper Center. and other towns and villages on streams tribu- tary to the Copper have complained that they are unable to put up fish for themselves on account of vast num- Der of nets at the mouth of the riv- CT preventing the fish from ascending. Years ago salmon were so plentiful at these points that they fairly choked the streams. Today one scarcely sees a fish. In another few years a salmon in the Copper will be as rare as a moose or caribou in the streets Of city. They will all be exterminated. There are plenty of waters to fish in this vicinity without taking all the spawning fish from the rivers. Com mercial greed is fast depicting the stock of fish in Alaskan waters, and unless something is done soon it will be too late. The natives depend upon these fish for their winters food as we'll as food for their sled dogs, and unless they receive a sufficient sup ply annually face starvation.

r HE TOWN OF VALDEZ
 is situated at the head of
 Prince William Sound, and is city of probably one thou sand population. It is the center of the mining industry on the Sound, both copper and gold, and is adjacent to and within easy hauling distance of the salmon grounds, many fresh water rivers and streams in Valdez Bay bring ing the fish in great numbers to within sight of the town. The city has one good cannery, which will operate two lines the coming season, employing probably one hundred and fifty persons.
 The city offers good opportuni- ties for fish saltery, a fertilizer factory, a glue factory, a tin can factory and box shook factory, all subsidiary to the fish packing business. The city owns it's own wharf and the Valdez Dock Con- pany, which also owns a splendid wharf is willing to give prospec- tive investors a chance for sites.
 VALDEZ has a progressive citizenry, with good high schools, churches, free reading room and library, good clubrooms and many lodges and organizations. Rents are very cheap, and living is but little higher than in the States.
 Many gold, and copper mines are contiguous to Valdez, making this city their quitting port, and drawing from its reserve of labor. The climate is very healthful, the extremes of heat and cold being rarely experienced. The mercury rarely falls below -l5, in the win ter and 70 above is the highest summer temperature. The sum- mers are delightful and the win ters far better than those of the Northern Central or Eastern States.
 VALDEZ is the coast terminal of the government military high way to the Interior. During the summer months autos may reach Fairbanks from Valdez in 36 hours running time, over a fine road, through the most magnih- cent scenery on the North Amer ican continent. In winter teams or dog sleds may be had at all times,
 VALDEZ has a number of first class hotels and restaurants. and the traveller and miner can be as- sured of comfortable lodgings a minimum expense. Parties de- string to outfit for mining or pros pecting can do SO ar our stores far cheaper than in the States, with men of experience to help se- lect their outfits.

THE WAR DECAlOGCE

The University of Turin has ar ranged a decalogue of war for women which has been given the approval of Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, one of the leading suffragists of this country and chairman of the women's committee of the Council of National Defense. Incidentally it is pertinently observ- ed that the decalogue. which is as follows, applies to men as we'll as wo- men:
 1. Do not chatter. Keep to your self the news you hear, your own inn pressions, and your apprehensions.
 2. Do not listen to alarmists, to slackers, or to those who would spread discouragement. Silence them.
 3. Be moderate in your spending, neither lavish in gifts nor sordid in your economies. Let everything in your life, even your daily expenses, take on at this moment it's true na- tional importance.
 4. Encourage national industries avoiding imported goods. even tho they may seem better and less costly than those made at home.
 5. Do not look upon the depart ure to the front of those dear to you as an abandonment. Be with them constantly in thought. as they are with you, particularly in the hour o1 danger; and do all that you can to replace them in their former occupa- tions.
 6. Do not complain of difficulties annoyances and privations caused by the war. Think of those who are dying for their country and complaint will halt upon your lips
 2. Multiply your activities, in your home as we'll as outside, thereby rendering yourself to your country by the work of your hands, and the clari' ty of your intelligence.
