VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS

The action of the city council in calling for bids for the construction of a good float for small boats, shows that the members of the municipal body ale determined to spare no en- deavor or expense to bring the down sound trade to Valdez. This float will be large and of ample capacity to pro- vide convenient landing for any num- Der of small craft, and it will be sub- stantial enough to withstand any storms which blow It will be trade getter for the city.-Valdez Miner.
 The city authorities have issued notification to all propery owners to clean up their premises by the 10th of May. Civic pride should cause the people of the town to clean up with out being compelled to do so by the city. Old tin cans and ashes scat tered about do not add to the attrac- tiveness of the place, neither do they tend to help the health of the com munity. Clean up!-Douglas News.
 In imputing general rottenness or conditions in connection with the con- struction of the Alaska railroad, o. B.. Miller, the Susitna miner, is but fol- lowing the example set by James Wickersham. Once Wickersham broke the ice, other chronic kickers, self-constituted reformers of the world in general and Alaska in par ticular, were bound in the nature of things to take the plunge.
 It is an easy and cheap method Of acquiring newspaper notoriety. We venture to say that this man Miller got more notice in the one front-page appearance of his name in the Se- attle paper than he ever before had in his entire life. He may be in the Alaska Who's Who,' but our copy apparently left him Fairbanks Citizen.
 Amt it a grand and glorious feeling when you send out bunch of bills to subscribers who are several months in arrears and get no answer for a month or so and then all of sudden the money begins to roll in. Oh, boys! Valdez Miner.

WITH A KICK

This deporting of undesirable aliens has a pleasant sound to most Ameri- can ears. With the enormously valu- able population that has come to us from foreign lands and without which the United States today would be a little nation huddled down in the eastern half of the continent, there has been limited number of very undesirable citizens. These people have been so perverse, or so hope lessly saturated with European ideas and situations, that they have proved dangerous to the community. We are not as people, let us hope, subject to the naive British feeling that, to achieve municipal perfection, it is only necessary to exclude the alien. We know and admit that Europe has sent US as good timber as we our selve possessed and that among our blackest criminals those of American birth and ancestry are as frequently found as those of European origin. But, to the evil tendencies that our own development has brought into life, the Europeans, when they are of evil agency have brought problems that are peculiarly European. We have had, for instance, the alien or ] unpronounceable name who slew President Mckinley. We have the Russian Jewish anarchist who, in this land of freedom, have the first chance to get together and propagandigate to their hearts contest, and who seem unable to adjust themselves to the fact that, on this side of the ocean, they are no longer being oppressed but have been given the same war ranty deed that all Americans are born into-the right to take a place in the contest known as the surlval of the fittest. These imported bolshe- viks, continuing to harrangue against the government just as they did-or would have done had they dared against their former rulers can never become a useful element in our popu- lation and must. ever be a menace. These we would gladly see deported. The only trouble with the system is that there is now ay of branding them. Once they have been deported thcy can shave-or whatever will dis guise them best-and return to our shores under the name of Smith. If only modern ideals would permit us to brand them upon the vaccination mark with a "B. C."-bad citizen-all would be we'll.

RAILWAY PRINCE AND PAUPER

Of fourteen standard railways, rep resnting forty-five per cent of Ameri- can railway mileage, only six suc- ceeded in earning anything for the government above their three year guarantee. The one railway that furn- ished the bulk of all the profits that Uncle Sam could use to offset his losses in the foolish railway adven- ture, is the Union Pacific. This was partly due to the fact that, being the shortest line, it received much freight that normally would have gone over other lines. The Southern Railway was the second largest contributor to the governments surplus account. A poor third was tho Chesapeake and Ohio. followed by the Louisville and Nashville, the Atchison and the Southern Pacific. The last three cop tributed very little.
 On the debtor side, the Pennsyl vania made an appalling showing. Il led all others in the size of it's deficit The St. Paul came next and the Bal timore and Ohio third. All showed very heavy deficits. In order the other worst liability roads were the Great Northern, Northwestern, New York Central, New Haven, Illinois Central, Boston and Maine. Rock Island, Missouri Pacific, Lehigh Val ley and Norfolk and Western. Many of the railways failed, not only tt make dividends and interest on theil bonds, but actual expenses.

ALASKA HIGH SCHOOLS
 TO BE ACCREDITED

That the studies included in the curriculum of the high schools of Alaska are sufficient for the admis- sion of graduates of the schools to the University of Washington is the lat est word in the educational line.
 Territorial Commissioner of Educa- tion l.. D. Henderson has received word that Alaska high school will be accredited to the University of Washington upon his recommenda- ton.
 While in Seattle, MT. Henderson conferred with Frederick Bolton, dean of the department of education of the University of Washington, regarding the matter of allowing schools to be accredited upon his recommendation and without the approval of univer- sity inspector which has previously been necessary. Heretofore ore has been brought north to inspect schools at the expense of the local school boards, and the new arrangements will save this expense.

 'That at two o'clock antemeridian of the last Sunday in March of each year the standard time of each zone shall be advanced one hour, and at two o'clock antemeridian of the last Sunday in October of each year the standard time of each zone shall be, by retarding one hour, returned to the astronomical time of the degree of longitude governing each zone, re- spectively."

 These two boys possessed one trait in common, the forgetfulness of youth. Each, absorbed in the emo tional excitement of his new life, failed to write home. And this aided fate. Let us begin with Mrs. Catharine Riordan of Chicago:
 For weeks she had worried over
