RYDER, ALASKA, November 2, 1919
CURSE THE CROW


 Thesb brain stormer who writes the heavy editorials and peddles the papers for the Hyder Alaska Miner is up ag- ainst it. He had piece of fine smelly soap, with his private brand, G.T.P., stamped upon it. This prize reposed on the window sill of the window which opens out on the back porch. Immed- lately under it was an inoccuous box labeled: ''Exi lo,ives-Dangerous," and on the box was an enameled wash basin with pretty blue border all around the top all the way around.
 Just across the porch sat, or stopped as our aboriginal natives would say, a galvenized iron tub full, more or less, of wet rain water. More or less full according as to whether it was raining or not. Generally it was running over.
 But to slip back to the soap. This soap has become the victim of a covet- ous, unregenerate crow. Now what the Helena that crow wants with a piece of soap is beyond the comprehension of a mining camp newspaper editor. We doubt if even human being could fig ure it out. It smelled good enough to eat, but we know it wasn't, and if the crow were endowed with half the brains that God gave geese, he would have known it too, and left it in peace, so that when the editor laved his grimy front feet he would have had something to lessen the shock from using water.
 We'll, when the discovery was made that the soap was capsw- flowed, (Chi- nook for swiped,) there was weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, cat agorically speaking. A still-hunt was instituted for a first-class curse with which to plaster the vile remnant of a degenerate race who committed the felony. But there wasn't anything in that line but curses of the common gar den variety lying around the office.
 Now the editor of this paper wants a real, fully developed, honest-to-good- ness curse to stick on that crow, and will give years subscription free to the man, woman or child who furnishes the one best suited to the purpose. The contest will remain open until the first time the Rupert boat comes in on time.
 All packers are barred from this con- test. They are needed to sit on the committee to judge the curses.

Assays received from Seattle on the drill tests on the pia tinum deposits at Mile Eight show but little values, al though pans taken from certain spots on the surface show high values. The Seattle assay office advises the operat- ors that the mineral mnst lie in pockets close to the surface, and it is with this belief that Arthur Silverman will start sluicing the ground. W.R Willard, one of the original discoverers, is still very optimistic over the proposition and will give the ground another trial before abandoning hope. Valdez Miner.

lNDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 16.-Return Of

later than December 81. 1919, is urged
N a resolution adopted by the National
Association of Railway and Utilities
commissioners at the closing session
of it's annual convention here this
afternoon.
The resolution states. however, that
the transition should be made with as
little disturbance as possible and with
this end in view recommends that the

in force for period not beyond July
!. 1927.
The association proposed several
principles tor consideration by Con-
grass in connection with remedial rail
road legislation now pending. These
principles include:
Principles for Consideration
That provision be made for prompt
merger of all carriers lines into
unified system in times of stress or
emergency, and the merger, within
proper limits, of the lines and facili-
ties to such an extent as may be nee
essary in the public interest to meet
the reasonable demands of the coun-
try's domestic and foreign com
merce
That railroad construction be linn
tied TO the necessities and convent
ence OF The public.
That securities of interstate lines
be under the control of the govern
ment.
That development Of inland water
ways and coordination of rail and
water transportation systems be en-
couraged.
That transportation board be
created to study rail, water and high
way transportation conditions, the
function of which would be wholly
advisory and the findings of which
would be reported to he Interstate
Commerce Commission.
That Federal incorporation Of rail
roads should not be required or per
mitted.
That in view of the "inhercnt social
and practical objections" to the estab-
iishment of a definite guaranteed re-
turn TO private service corporations.
such provision should not be included
in the laws.
With respect to wage controversies
the association went on record as fa
voring the development Of some plan
FOR the final disposition Of such dis
putes. The resolution stated the as
soclation's belief that the RESPONSE
bility Of capital and labor was equal
and that rates should be established on
a basis which would permit payment Of
lust wages to employees. Public ser
vice, it was declared, should not be
jeopardized by strikes and lockouts.

HIGHER INTEREST IN
D. c. IS ADVOCATED

Walter Ufford. general secretary of
the Associated Charities, today made
clear the advocacy of that organiza-
ton on the bills designed to amend
the so-called loan shark law. He
says:
The Times yesterday published the
notice of the meeting of the board of
directors of the Associated Charities
at which resolution was adopted
urging Congress to pass promptly
Senate bill 21s3 and H. r. 65o6. This
bill amends the so-called loan shark
law by raising the rate of interest for
per cent a month to 2 per cent a
month.
This rate of 2 per cent a month
Is the one asked for by the Citizens
Committee, of which William H Bald
win is the chairman, and supported
from the beginning by the social
workers of the District represented
by the members of the Monday Even
ing Club, the Associated Charities and
other social service agencies. The
proposed rate was not accepted by
Congress, but was reduced to 1 per
cent, with the result that no one in
need has been able to borrow under
the law as it now stands.
The law even in its present form
has accomplished one excellent result
namely, it has driven out the loan
sharks, thereby stopping the payment
Of more than $500. 900 illegal interest
annually in the District. The law,
however, has failed as a constructive
piece of legislation, in that no loan
companies have come forward to
operate at the low rate now per-
mitted-
The effort Is to have Congress ac-
cept the rate originally proposed by
the citizens committee, which is be-
heved to be the lowest rate at which
the business can be done. The COM
mittee will welcome the support Of
The Times in furthering this legisla-
tion. We desire, however, to make il
perfectly clear that ii is not the re-
turn OF the loan sharks that is desired
but the establishment of a legal bust
ness which will operate under the
per cent rate"
