complimentary things to say about us

Zette says:
In the early days considerable was
heard now and then to the effect that
the west had no heart for the war,
that it was apathetic toward Americas
entry and little worried whether the
coast states were subjected to inva-
sion. A great deal of this talk was
inspired by propagandists. 1t was one
of the plans for creating division and
ascension in America wherever pos
able. How far it has failed. how
groundless were such allegations. has
been shown repeatedly. The west has
sent her sons to the service with the
same fervor evidenced in both the At.

west has come forward Loyalty for the

calls. Just to clench the matter and

 WAKING UP

Fremont King, a prominent busi- ness man and canner of the Ketchi- kan section, iolted that burg into a listening mood at least when he recently said there:
 "Ketchikan has got to wake up, aud get down to business, and obey conservation demands or she will get a jolt soon. Every day is some special prohibition day, now out side, there are wheatless days, meat less day, and in California ice creamless days and these days are strictly enforced by the government and anyone caught selling these items on the forbidden days are dealt with severely" MT. King re peated, and that's what has to happen to Ketchikan, it's got to be systematized."
 Continuing on the same line, MT. King said:
 Transportation will be one mat ter against us, in the north, as it has been a great difficulty in the states. The government has been classifying all commodities and those for the government and the soldiers take first place with the necessities after. Troops are now taking up most of the rolling stock, but nevertheless, we may make as many sacrifices as is necessary. It Is not the policy of the govern ment to force matters but dealers are notified as to the line of ac- tion they are expected to follow, in default of which their licenses are promptly cancelled, after due warning, of course"
 Asked about the policy of the government In regard to cahnerleS' Mr. King denied the report that it intended to take over the can nertes and operate them for the Government as was being done in the case of the steamers. This is exactly what the canneries would like to have the government do as the present method of taxation is so exorbitant that it is almost pro hihltive for small concerns and yer. hard for even larger Compan- les to do business. All the gov ernment will do in this matter will be to make price schedule for the buying and selling of fish, it is be- lieYed by the cannerymen of Alas ka," Mr. King added.

Every official of the government is made responsible for its Enforcement. School teachers are expected to ad in iutorcing the law. Customs officials, marshals immigration men, and anyone en- 3lOyed by the government in any capacity is expected and demand ed to aid in the prosecution of The law. It is a Wickersham mea- sure, and like all his measures, is dors well and thoroughly.

 The outlook for the coming year is hopeful, It will be largely just what the people make it. If we all hang onto our money, conditions will be tight. If We give freely and encourage business, business will be good. Increased tourist travel will be our biggest asset.
