Sunday morning there was scarcely
an inch of snow on the ground and
most of it disappeared during the day.
AS the snow was falling there were
frequent peals of thunder, loud and
rumbling, just like those accompany
ing a summer shower. Rather an
unusual occurrence.

PETERSBURG PEOPLE ... WANT WRANGELL NARROWS DREDGED

PETERSBURG.-So that larger vessels may use Wrangell Narrows, one of the most dangerous pieces of water in the North, without wait ing for extreme high tide, a move ment has been started in South eastern Alaska urging the dredg ng of the Narrows Mails and freights to points in this section, it is pointed out, have been delayed and endan- |gered by storms and insufficient water in the Narrows, which has of ten compelled large vessels to make Ia long trip around the Narrows. Wrangell Narrows, generally calm and safe in normal weather, are never bothered by ice fields or high winds, and the strong current pre- vailing, it is said, would make it necessary for dredging operations to be repeated. Petersburg, an i'm portant Alaska cannery point, could then be made a stopping place for vessels in the Alaska trade, it is asserted.

LANES CONSTRUCTIVE PLANS

The dispatches tell us, says the Anchorage Times, that over 40,0O9 returned soldiers and sailors have filed applications with Secretary of the Interior Lane for reclaimed agri- cultural lands under his big con- structive scheme to make oppor- tunities for the boys in khaki. A bill providing the necessary appro- priations was introduced in the last session of the Congress. It passed the house, but was killed in the senate by the filibuster. The same bill will be introduced in the extra session. If it passes, as 1t surely will, the huge sum of S100,000,OOO will be available for retaining desert, swamp and logged off lands and for other constructive purposes. The importance of this constructive measure can hardly be over-estl- mated. In the first place, it will provide immediate employment for thousands upon thousands of re- turned soldiers; it will make new opportunities for them, giving them an opportunity to own a home and some land on easy installments. It will tend to make popular the rural life, as opposed to the city life, with it's lack of opportunities, its unhealthy and congested living con- ditions. Bounteous nature will grow almost anything that is planted, and the most efficient means of com batting the present high cost of liv- ing is for families, as well as in dividuals, to themselves plant and raise most of the food necessities of life.
 Alaska, too, expects to share in this big constructive scheme, for it is certain that some of the money appropriated will be expended in this territory. Alaska never had a better friend than the big man who is the head of the interior depart ment.

GREAT CROWDS FIGHT FOR AMERICAN SHOES
 IN BELGIAN CAPITAL

BRUSSELS. - American shoes were placed on sale here recently. Great crowds struggling to reach an objective on the northern side of the Rue Neuve, becoming noisy and unruly, caused call to be sent to the police station for the re- serves. The objective was an American shoe store which had just advertised for sale a carload of footwear, at prices ranging from fifty to sixty francs. In the shop ping district shoes were worth from eighty to one hundred and fifty francs and here these crowds were battling for the privilege of pur- chasing shoes the lower cost, e1uiva- lent to S10 or SIP a pair The supply was exhausted before sun down. As two poorly dressed women emerged from the store one was heard to say: Blessed be the Americans; have saved fifty francs"

DISINTERESTEDNESS OF
 AMERICA.

He is a purblind reader of history he wholly mistakes the philosophy of America and of Americas place in the world, who does not realize that this country owes it's freedom from suspicion to the very policy which the President now wants us to abandon. If America does in deed mean so much to the world, if it inspires other nations with confidence and with hope, as we re- ioice to believe, it is because we have consistently followed the wise and prudent course upon which at the beginning we entered under the guidance of Washington and Jeff erson and Monroe. It is because we have not meddled in the affairs of European nations which did not concern us. It is because we have refrained from entangling alliances, and have been content to cultivate peace, commerce, and honest friend ship with all. It is because, while we have have ever been ready to enter into temporary alliances for specific purposes, as we did in the Boxer war in China, and as we have done in this war against the Huns, we have not entered balances of power or concerts of the pow CTS for selfish and sordid purposes, nor so tied ourselves up in any international compacts as to make ourelves a party to intrigues, jeal- ousies, or animosities such as too often prevail among other nations. -Harper's Weekly.

greatest democracy the world has

greatest democracy the world has ever known is to make that democ- racy a success. They must make the United States in the present and the future, as it has been in the past, the best country on earth for men and women to live in; the best country on earth for children to be born in; the best country on earth for men to live for, and to die for.
 Doing this, maintaining the place of the United. States among the powers, improving the conditions, political and social, of the people of the United States as the advance of knowledge renders improvement possible, the citizens of this coun- try will make the mightiest contr;- button that lies within their power to the welfare of the world.

SIR. SHUSANA
 BRINGS GRADING
 EQUIPMENT HERB

The steamer Shusana arrived at an early hour this morning. from Cinema with a quantity of grading equipment consigned to the Alas kan Engineering Commission. The principal part of the equipment con- sisted of narrow gauge ballast cars and locomotive No. 383. She also had some freight consigned to local merchants.
 The locomotive and cars brought by the steamer were loaded on board at Cinema, and comprised part of the equipment sent for service at the Happy end of the Fairbanks Nenana line some time ago.
 With the commencement of ac- tivities in railroad building on a large scale on the Fairbanks branch line, the need of narrow gauge loco motives and fatcars became inn perative, and the supply available at the Fairbanks end had to be drawn from to meet the demand at this end of the branch line.
 Shortly after discharging the car go she had on board to local con- signment, the Shusana steamed across the river to the dock near Camp 415, for the purpose of un- loading the government freight.

"Outside capital is becoming timid about investing in Alaska un- til the present wave of socialism passes by and the people of the territory show that capital is not invited to invest in Alaska for the purpose of being held up, says the Valdez Miner. The territory is new and needs development. Too many statutes hamper this development. The country needs roads and trails and to get these we must have population. To secure population we must offer better conditions than prevail in the States. Every prospective settler will naturally wish to know what it will cost him to come to Alaska and what it will cost him to live here, and unless he can be assured of fair treatment and good wages, will seek other fields"

MANUFACTURERS OF BELGIUM WANT
 MACHINERY BACK

LIEGE, Belgium. - Along the route from devastated Louvain to this desolate city, tall smokeless chimneys line the formerly pros porous valley of the Mouse. Idle coal mines, huge plants which belched fire and sizzled with the gurgle of the melting lead and the boiling steel are now silent and abandoned. There is no outward visible sign of devastation, but a superficial examination of the in- side of the plants reveals the fact that this district has been stripped as thoroughly and more systemat- ically than the line of battle where the cannon roared for four years. ! The Cockerill Manufacturing com pany employed 12,0O0 workmen; at the small arms factory, "Fabrique Nationale," 4,500 skilled workmen manufactured revolvers and rifles, ! as; the Ougnee- -Mariez plant manu- factured steel machinery, locomo- tives and presses, 14,000 hands hav- ing been employed there. Now a few laborers wander like lost souls in the vast halls, which seem i'm mense because of the removal by the Germans of all the machinery formerly filling up every available inch of floor space. They are re- pairing the few dilapidated automo- piles, machines and locomotives the Germans left behind in their de liberate retreat and in their sys- tematic plundering through four years.
 The managers of these plants know where their machinery has been removed. They have the names of the firms in the various cities of Germany which are now manufac- turing with these stolen machines the products that in few months they will attempt to unload upon the worlds markets. They are dis satised and bitter in their comment because they feel they have been neglected by the peace conference They feel Germany should have been ordered to return at once the stol- en machinery, or that they should at least have been permitted to enter Germany and remove them to their plants. They are not short of steel. One of the former manufac- turers declared he had 2,000,O0O pounds of steel on hand, but no machinery.
 A manager of one plant expressed himself as more than disillusioned /: Times have changed since the ar mistice, when Belgium was every where cited as incarnating the very spirit of patriotism and heroism, when promises were made that fighting would go on until Belgium should be integrally restored, fnan- cially, economically, and politically. Your brave American boys who came to Europe and died with a smile thought to avenge violated Belgium fighting desperately for its own and the very worlds freedom at the threshold of civilization"
