ANCHORAGE HAS
 v|C|LANTEES ON
 TRAIL OF DOCS
Many Canines Executed by Troubled Denizens Along
 Line of the Government Railroad.

ANCHORAGE, April 25.-Secretly and with deadly effectiveness, a wig ilance committee metes out the ter TOTS of capital punishment in An chorage. AS result of it's silent degrees, more than thirty creatures have expiated the offense of mere existence. The averaging committed evidently consists of only one indi vidual, whose identity, despite the frantic efforts of the authorities remains shrouded in mystery. The ill-fated victims are-or rather were dogs.
 Early this Spring when the break ng up of the winter trails released logs from sled work, many of then were turned loose to forage theil Ethem, 4partfcularfy atsnight, roam th> streets and alleys searching ant fighting for a livlihood Their chic , occupation is capsizing and lottins garbage cans, and strewing the con tents not edible all over the land scape The animals are a destruc tive nuisance.
 There is no law enabling Anchor age, Nenana or any other towns or the line of the Government railroad all of which are administered by the Alaska Engineering Commission, t. license or impound stray dogs. Con gress in passing the act providing for the establishment and Fedora control of the railroad towns took no cognizance of dogs. The Terri torial statute with reference to the licensing and impounding of the animals are applicable to self-gov erned, incorporated towns only.
 No attempt has ever been made in Anchorage to license dogs. but a pound was established and mainta in ed last Summer However, the ab sence of a specific law authorizing the existence of a pound impaired
 it's efficiency. Persons whose stray dogs had been impounded insisted on their release without the payment of subsistence charges or. penaltaies So intellectual was the pound last year that the authorities made nc effort to revive it this year.
 Recently some person intent upon the destruction of dogs began acti vities. Poisoned meat is used to kill them. Evidently the fatal food is not thrown broadcast on the streets or in yards, for none of it has ever been found except inside canine stomach. The meat with its taincture of death is given direct ly to an animal for destruction. The fatalities average about five daily.

Wick Charges Denied.
Fairbanks CitiZen)


 While most Alaskans realize that the charges made by "their Jim" against Secretary Lane, and through him the Alaska Engineering Commission, of incom- potency grating and playing politics in the construc tion the Alaska railroad, without foundation, is welcome to find that persons in the states, with knowledge of the conditions which exist in Alaska and with special knowledge Of the construc- tion of the road and the workings of the commission are giving publicity to denias of Wickersham's ale cations.
 The position which Wickersham has held as Alas kas delegate necessarily gave authencity to his statements which they would otherwise not have carried People unfamiliar with the facts of the matter, lacking knowledge of Alaska and her condi tions could be censured if the words of sentative relied upon being correct.
 To the average citizen of any state, it would seem impossible that representative of commonwealth would make such vicious attack upon a government project which directly created for the benefit of that state, unless forced do by most miserable failure the part of those responsible for the work being done. And having other of informa- tion without doubt many people throughout the cour- try did accept MT. Wickershams letter at it's face value. For this alone, aside from the delay it has caused in railroad appropriations, incalculabo injury has been done to the entire Territory, much of which cannot be repaired and for this Wckersham alone is responsible.
 Professor Hayden, formerly the engineering staf of the Commission, has special knowledge of railroad building in Alaska He has been in interior Aaska and knows what work done and how it was done He knows the practical side of railway constructions and with this knowledge and experience he declares that Wickersham's charges of waste and Incompetence false His statements will go lar In counteractln2 effects which Wicks letter undoubtedly caused
 No say that MT. Hayden has any ulterior motive in refuting Wickershams statements. He is not dependent any government official for his job He is way connected with politics, could political pressure have been brought to bear hin in order to bring out such statement from him Had such letter been written by anyone connected with the Alaska Engineering Commissions staff 1t might be possible for it to have been influenced even though it did than state the facts known to everyone familiar with the enterprise. And for this reason Professor Hayden is entitled to Of thanks from Alaska his timely defense of those who trying to assist the Territory in real development work.

Matanuska Potatoes.
Anchorage Times. )

TE Anchorage Times) A
 There be truth than fiction in Luther Burbanks prediction made after visit of investiga tion to certain parts of Alaska six years ago, that this territory, time, would be the greatest DO tato-raisng country in the world. Coming from 2 who is the greatest authority in the world in the of spud culture, the prediction is worthy of credence And tending to lend truth to this as sertion, it may be stated that industrious settler in the Matanuska valley gathered, from and quarter of ground last year. fourteen tons of potatoes and sold the entire crop right in Anchorage for three cents the pound And there is a growing market for Alaska potatoes. Most of our homefolks have eaten nothing but Aaska-gr potatoes during the win ter and they ask nothing better
 And here is letter received tby he land and industrial department of the Alaskan Engineering commission, which opens new market for the Mat anuska potatoes which proved very satisfactory an6 writ to find if you will be able to furnish our canneries in Alaska with potatoes this Kindly us know the freight rate from Anchorage to Juneau and Ketchikan We shall be pleased to get prices any other vegetable grown in the Anchorage district
 Yours truly,
 HIDDEN INLET CANNING CO.,"
 Some of ohr people used to scof and laugh at the Matanuska potatoes. But the settlers paid on these pessmistjc remarks jocuar jibes They experiments which take time, and found soil best adapted to potato cuture-a dry, sandy soil as opposed to soil People, no longer josh about the Matanuska spuds. They eat them with keen relish.

Others sacrificed their health and suffered 1naning and disagreement. All sustained losses Tn purse and business prospects
 Novs comes the test of the financial honor of the the last dollar the American people if necessary and sto fainting allies were given promises O. money aid in order to keep strong the line aga1nsl the foe These pledges to be redeemed. Each must ask himself the serious question: What have dcne to keep clean the national honor? The judg- ment must be searching. No should pretend to deceive himself make excuses to his prickinS |conscience The thought of soldier dead in the Argonne the sight of crippled lad in khaki should greet the stacker indictment from the altar of freedom.

OH, LoRDl HIT us ALL

Former Secretary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo is telling this story to get buyers for the Victory Liberty Loan:
 "A pastor in New Jersey village" he said, devoted half hour one prayer meeting night to loan ap- peal. His appeal was forcible. It even touched the rich old deacon. who hadn't subscribed to the loan hitherto on the ground that he could get a better rate of interest else where.
 "Ill take S50,,'. announced the deacon solemnly from his pew.
 Then, as he sat down, a piece of plaster fell from the ceiling. strik- ing him pretty hard blow on the head. He rose again hurriedly. He had a scared. awed look.
 "T mean $500.' he said.
 Then Brother Jimmy Conner shouted Justify from the amen cor ner:
