out the streams and protect the nat
ural spawning grounds.
Under the caption of protecting
the Salmon" the Juneau Dispatch
has the following to say:
"Down in Oregon, legislation has
been passed protecting small sal
mon.' At a meeting recently the
Gamers of the Columbia river met
and agreed to live up to the letter
of the law. The law provides that
no salmon can be canned less than
twenty inches in length. AS a re-
suit the Gamers refuse to buy small
salmon, and they have to be re-
leased by the seiners and others.
"What Alaska really need is CO.
operation between federal and ter
ritorial governments to formulate
and laws to protect the
fisheries. Governor Riggs should
see that men are placed on the ter
ritorial fisheries board who will
strive to accomplish these things. A
determined member of that board
should be in Washington this winter
to advise the. bureau of fisheries
Just what is needed. He should
have the support of every CONNER
cial body in Alaska"

DAMAGE DONE BY WICK.

The remarks of Senator Jones at
the Arctic club luncheon recently
make plain the extent of the in
jury done to Alaska through the
Wickersham Alaska railroad charges
that were given to the public last
spring for political purposes, says
the Juneau Daily Empire. Senator
Jones said that, owing to the
charges and the comment resulting
from them, there were many men,
bers of Congress who would not
vote in favor of further appropria-
tons for the railroad until there
had been some sort of investiga-
ton. He said it would be an easy
matter to get additional money from
the senate, but that missionary work
must be done in the house if an
early appropriation is secured.
Unquestionably it was the hostile
Wickersham- Ballaine criticism which
caused the house to hold the rail-
road appropriation down to two
million, and to refuse assent to
the senate's action in adding ten
million to it. This action caused
at least one years delay in the COM
pletion of the railroad, and almost
paralyzed business and industry in
the sections depending upon rail-
road construction and development
that awaits its completion. That
not only means the disturbance re-
Isulting from the failure to get ten
million dollar appropriation, but the
wasting of the time and energy OF
those who have staked their future
upon the results of this enterprise
The prosperity of communities, the
development of the Territory, the
caurses of the lives of men, women
and children are as nothing when
Wick and Wickites play the game
of politics. What of wasted years
for American citizens, delayed edu-
cation of youth, the loss of time
that may mean the failure of the
life work of many of Gods children
if Wick may only continue to hold
Office and retain place on the pay
roll! e.

HOW LONG, o LORD,
HOW LONG?

Less than week ago, state
ment appeared to the effect that
over seven million cases of eggs
are held in storage in the United
States, and eggs are but one item.
The United States never had a
larger supply of provisions than at
present, but most of it is in the
hands of spectators who care not
that the masses are hungry. Those
spectators proftteers, if you
please-withhold their goods from
the market, thereby creating an ar
tifcial shortage which is used to
boost prices.
And the profteers are getting
away with it.
When it comes to profiteering,
comments the Douglas Island News,
poor, miserable, despised Germany
had nothing on the United States.
After the signing of the armistice
last November few hundred tons
of provisions were found in Ger
many that had been in the hands
of profiteers more than four years,
being held in the hope that many
times their original cost would be
realized by the holders when dis
posed of to the starving populace.
Today the example of the Ger
man hog is being followed by the
American hog, and On much
larger scale. The Government ma
chinery at Washington has been set
in motion and investigations and
prosecutions started. 1t is well that
no time has been wasted on inves-
tigating a condition that everyone
knows exists and everyone knows
why it exists. The ''why" is profit
eering, and the powers that be at
Washington know it as we'll as the
hungry masses know it. Therefore,
let the prosecutions be swift and
relentless. and let those who are
guilty be soon brought to justice
and the wrongs righted. ==@
1t is cold comfort to a hungry
family to know that the cause of
that hunger is being investigated
and prosecuted at Washington, and
the gaunt wolf may have done his
work long before relief can be OBJ
tanned, if the cause is not speedily
removed.
Many of the necessities of life
are from 200 to 400 percent higher
than they were few years ago
necessities, not Injuries. But how
much more is the common purchaser
of these necessities paid for his la
Dor now than then? Not to exceed
20 percent more, if that much Can
we blame the laborer for striking
when the wages he receives will not
provide his family with the necessi-
ties of life?
For example: Only the other day
we saw an ordinary broom sell for
$1.75. Does anybody suppose for
moment that that broom cost
more than two-bits to produce? And
this is but one otem. Other arti-
cles-necessities to everyday life
cost in proportion to that broom.
The man who pays $1.75 for a
broom should be paid not less than
$50 for a days work, yet from
$3.50 to S. day is as much as he
can possibly expect, and it is more
apt ito be the former than the latter.
Think of man being forced to pay
half of a days earnings for a
broom! But that is just what the

Eighty Thousand / Idle in Belgium

Correspondent of Associated Press.)
 Brussels, July 8.-The number of unemployed in Belgium is S00,000, according to the minister for food, but is diminishing from day to day.
 Only two blast furnaces are work ing out of 50 which before the war existed in Belgium. Of these 60 all but four have been completely, or to a very large extent destroyed by the Germans.
 The steel and iron production, which, in 1913 attained 2,224,000 tons is nil since 1917. Of 35,0O0 me- tai workers in 1913 only about two hundred are working. It is hoped that by the end of this year, at least 25 blast furnaces will be producing and that A percent of the pre-war production will be ob- tained.
 Six thousand operatives have re- sumed work in the line industry. The English week of 54 hours has been agreed to.
 The textile industry (carding) work may be resumed several weeks hence since great part of the machinery which the Germans had taken away has been discovered in Leipsic and repaired.

DID YOU PLANT
 CASTOR BEANS
 FOR UNCLE SAM?
You Can Collect on Guaranteed Yield by Filing Claim Before
 July 15.

Patriotic Southeas. Arkansas the request oI the government that the oil might be used in airplane production, will be paid for the acre. age by the government, according to an announcement made by T. O.. Branch, representative of the air craft board in Arkansas, office in Southern Trust building, Little Rock.
 The great majority of the seeds which were planted in Jefferson coun- ty failed to germinate, it is said, but the fact that the seeds did not ma ture, will be no reason why claims tor acreage should not be flied, because the ending of the war brought about a disconuinuance of the aircraft production, thus ending the necessity tor the bean production.
 The government has sent forms to | MT. Branch upon which claims are to be made, and he is requesting ev- cry farmer who contracted with him to plant the castor bean, to secure and fill out one. These claims, it is said may be sent direct to the air craft board, in Washington, D. c. It
 is stated that several thousand acres were planted in Arkansas, and of that number, Jefferson county farmers planted about 800. The total sum to be paid back to Arkansas on claims will be approximately $300,000.
 The claims must be in by July 15 Mir. Branch has said, which is six weeks later than first specified. The claims which are to be presented must bear the endorsement of the county agent, certifying that the claim is correct as regards the acre age planted.
 When the government first asked for contracts to raise the castor bean the farmers were guaranteed $3 2 bushel, and contracts were entered into for minimum of 25 bushels pel acre. Due to the poor quality of the seed supplied, the average production was about two bushels an acre.

Important Ruling On Minimum Wage
 Law in Arkansas

Little Rock, July 9.-Jurisdiction of the minimum wage and maximum hour commission in the enforcement of the laws affecting the labor of women includes all hotels and restau- rants in the state, according to rul- ing handed down by John D. Arbuckle: attorney general.
 The ruling is important, in view of the contention on the part of certain interests that the definition of hotels, as contained in the 1915 laws, exclude hotels where meals are not served, from the operation of the 1919 law and the ruling of the minimum wage commission restricting hours of labor in hotels and restaurants to nine hours a day, and six days waak.
 In the opinion, prepared by Robert c. Knox, assistant attorney general, it is held that in the new law the word "hotels" applies to all estab- lishments of kind and character that would come under the general, com mon and accepted definition of such word" Therefore the ruling of the commission applies to all hotels, whether meals are served or not.
 The bureau of labor this week is sending out letters to our firms calling attention to violations of the provisions of the laws regulating working conditions of women and children, as revealed in the recent sur vey completed by special agents of the United States department of la bor, loaned to the state labor depart ment.
