 TO ISSUE BONDS
 FOR SCHOOL HOUSE

The Ketchikan authorities have telegraphed Delegate George E Grigsby requesting him to secure the passage of bill authorizing the town Eof Ketchikan to vote bonds in the sum of $100,O00 for funds with which to erect school building. It is purposed to erect a building similar to the Juneau school, but it is expected that such structure will cost more on ac- count of raising prices.
 In Ketchikan there are more than 300 school children now and it is believed that there will be more than 400 pupils before the Fall of 1920

Keep Up Your Courage
fAnchorage Times)

(AnchOrage TimeS)
 Our friends back in Washington appear to be putting up stiff fight for the passage of bill ap- proprating $17 ,000 ,000 estmted to be the amount necessary to complete the Governments railway pro ject in Alaska Yesterdays dispatches announced that Senator New, Republican, of Indiana, chair man of the Senate Committee Territories, had introduced a bill in the Senate similar to the one introduced in the House by Congressman Curry, chairman of the House Committee Territories. All this but proves that the Secretary of the Inter- for, Chairman Edes Manager McPherson, of the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Com merce, Delegate Grigsby, and the respective chair men of the Senate and House Committees losing time in pressing Congressional action, to the end that the amount needed to complete the Govern luent railroad in Alaska shall be granted soon possible It is reasonable to expect that favor able action will be taken in this matter, and distant date, either. Given funds enough to com pete this railway project, it does not take the pen of prophet to forecast exceedingly prosperous times in the Cook Inlet country.
 So don't get discouraged just because things are a bit quiet just Better days coming.

CONSIDERING PERSHING AS A
 POSSIBILITY

The Cincinnati Enquirer says the feeling E growing in many Washington circles that Gen Pershng will become a candidate for President, and intimattes that it will be Democrat. The Enquirer quotes prominent Democrat who has participated actively in many Presidential campaigns and who recently visited General Pershing at h1F headquarters in France saying:
 Sixty days after General Pershing riyes in the United States he will be the most popular man that lived in this country The Americans have to have a hero in every generation. Roosevelt has dis Pershing is the most likely successor to Roosevelt in the publics admiration
 'He is ideal talker clean-cut, square jawed and gray-eyed, and, remember, we have had President who did not have gray eyes.
 He has grown a speaker until today there is in America who sway audience of all nationalities with such completeness Pershing
 "Pershing is the personificaton of polish. He has winning personality and mag netism that draws foes and friends alike.
 'The Republicans fear him.
 Of all these predictions dependent upon the refusal of President Wilson for a third term. It is admitted by all that President Wilson have the nomination if he wants it, and Louis Seibold political writer for the New York World, who is given credit for possessing sort of uncanny second sight in sizing up all poli- tical situations, convinced that the President would try, and that 95 per cent. of the Democrats and large number of Republicans believe that he will be overwhelmingly reelected.

The Game of Games

 Time when thousands trooped to the Circus Maximum and other great Roman arenas then enjoy ing imperial favor but degrading the objects and purposes of the earlier Greek Stadium. Since ear Hest ages men have gathered to witness exhibitions Of athletic skill, strength and courage. But never was witnessed the worlds history prior to the present age the spectacle of great nation united in interest and enthusiasm the results of single splendid sport.
 Baseball appeals to more than one hundred mil lions of people. The socaed games Of the Coliseum and other imperial appealed chiefly to the people of great city e
 Baseball is clean, manly, character making sport. The games of the were brutal strug- gles in which blood flowed, contests which inn bruted and degraded participants and spectators alike But baseball talks to the banker well as to the bootblack and either of them is equally well informed in the science of the game, the per sonne of the players and all about it.
 The great national sport stands for clean living the honest endeavor, for worthy hope. The players hope and their friends and admirers hope with them The pennant is the ultimate tangible evi- dence of glorious victory. All clubs and their friends hope for this annual final victory
 The splendid work of the Cincinnati club is in spring the better half of the nation to unheard of degree of enthusiasm Hope is fervently induged that the banner of supremacy will at last be torn from the East and raised at Redand Field.

Tells OF new
SUGAR CROP

Many readers of the Herald read
with interest the article in the Herald
last week regarding the shortage of
sugar in western states.
In this connection it will also be in
teresting to read the following article
which is taken from the Fergus Falls,
Mimi, Journal, of recent date, which
was given the Herald by Mrs. S. Gov
ert, in which man interested in sugar
plantations and just returned from
Cuba, tells something of conditions in
the sugar market:
]. H. Durrefl arrived from Cuba
Monday afternoon to visit his family,
who have been spending the summer at
the lakes here. They will now move
into this city to spend the winter. Mr..
Durrell is superintendent CT a chain
of banks in Cuba and also is extern
sively interested in sugar plantations
there. He was asked about the sugar
crop of the island and says it was the
largest crop ever raised. The crop
this year was approximately four mil
lion tons and the United States govern
ment took it over at 51A cents pound
raw This was the highest price ever
paid for any crop and, with the high
est price and the largest crop on rec
ord, the sugar producers are rolling
in wealth. Approximately $500, 000,-
900 was paid for the crop and there
are about 100000 people on the is
land Besides this, it is only one Of
several crops raised there. The low
est price at which the crop has been
sold in any year was ~ cents pound
raw. Mr.. Durrell is looking for a
price of TX cents a pound next year.
eff the crop was so large, why are
we so short of sugar." was asked.
THAT is a question I cannot answer
The sugar is there and I do not know
why it is not taken away. OF course
large part of it has already been
shipped out but the warehouses are
still jammed to the roofs. There, are,
think. at present about 100000 tons
left Why it is not shipped out faster
I do not know Perhaps it is due to
scarcity of ships"
"Is much of the crop being ship
ped to Europe?"
"I presume some of 1t is, but the
bulk of it is coming to the United
States Cuba supplies the United
States with bout IS per cent of the
sugar consumed in this country the

why should the price be higher
next year,"
with an open market, such as we
look for next year, there IS going 10 De
a big demand from Europe as well as
fl ON the United States. People salu
that Germany at the close OF the war
would flood the market with sugar
There was nothing to it. Germany
raised very little sugar this year. Rus
STA, which was another big producer
is off the market. Conditions are SO
chaotic that we are not looking for any
competition from that source Tor a
long time 70 come. That is why the
Cuban planters expect still higher
prices next year"
