RACAN IS KILLED
 BY -ASSASRlN

Steve Ragan, assistant United States attorney at Ketchikan. has been' foully murdered, his assassin being one Pat rick Shanahan. Reports from the pam handle metropolis are to the effect that Shanahan had no grudgs against Ragan whatever, except that he was man of intell gence and an officer of the court. Shanahan is said to have remarked that it was about time he killed someone, Ragan happened to be the victim. It might have been anyone else, in fact there are several men against whom Shanahan had made threats because of their connection with lawsuit in which he was implicated some time ago. But when he went out to kill someone, the degenerate appears to have chosen the first man of prominence he came across without regard to anything that had happened in the past.
 Reading between the lines sets one to wondering why Shanahan was not locked up long ago. He was known to carry gun and to have made gun plays in Rupert ond other places.' He was known to have been free with threats in Ketchikan, in fact a warrant was sworn out against him for carrying con- cealed weapons, but was returnen un- served. Walter Sharpe, deputy United States marshall at Ketchikan, is known to have been asked to disarm Shanahan and refused to do so. And after the murder it was not Sharpe who took the murderer into custody, but H. J. Wal lace and Earl West officers of Wrangel.
 People are wonedring what deputy United States marshall is for, anyway. But meanwhile, a good man is in his grave, the victim of an unnecessary and entirely preventable tragedy. Recrim- int tions cannot restore him to his wife and babies.

 Down

The last form of the Hyder Alaska Miner was held up till the last minute and then some, in the hope that the man whom the Canadian government have hired to keeb their telegraph line up through couple of hundred miles of mountains would get his job done by night, but to no avail. The snow was too deep for the poor fellow, so no tel egraphic news came in. Which makes us wonder why the Canadian govern ment at Ottawa doesn't put some re- turned soldiers on the job and keep the line up.
 However, the people of this camp should worry. The mail comes here once week whether we want it or not, and we can wiggle along if neces- sary without knowing how the rest of the world is wagging.
 Keep smiling!
 Boost for Hyder!
 Perhaps we will have a telegraph line of our own some day.

With David Lloyd George, British
prime minister, again in his seat after
his visit to London, where he defend
ed his actions at the peace conference
before the house OF commons, the
council of four yesterday renewed its
hearing Of the claims of the Italians
to the important Adriatic seaport of
Fiume and also had under discussion
the question of the Polish claims of
DanZig on the Baltic. The council met
at the white House" the residence in
Paris of President Wilson.
The opinion prevails in Paris, thai
with the Italian demands now the re-
naming obstacle to u full agreement.
the situation is such that Presiden
Wilson will be able to sail homeward
in mid May with a signed copy of the
peace treaty for submission to con-
gress. which in some quarters in Paris
it is believed, will he called in extra
not later than June I.
Little opposition to the peace terms
is expected from the Germans, ac'
cording to the latest reports in cireu-
lation in Paris. as they are declared
to be anxious for return to peace
at the earliest moment pos
siblc. It is asserted that there Is to
be no German text of the treaty--the

and Syrian relief, was annouced today
by John II. Finley, commissioner for

Describing conditions in the near
east Mr.. Finley said:
From the town of Aintah 80. 900
Arm enians were driven into the des-
ert todie, and now there are, so far
as we can learn, only 1000 or 5000
alive. If this proportion holds true
throughout, then nearly $50, 900 men,
women and children persisted in that
desert
Throughout Asia Minor, beyond the
points to which the British and
French troops have advanced, the
Armenians are still being prosecuted
by the Turks. The fact that the armis-
tice has been signed makes no differ
ence In one way or another, by indi-
vtduais and groups, Armenians are be-
ing killed. | know of one case where
100 Armenians were slaughtered, and
another where forty were shot down
