ALASKA EXPECTS BOOM
TO FOLLOW END OF WAR

JUNEAU, Alaska, Dec 31-(By
Mail.)-(By Associated Press.)-Men
already returning north to man the
Alaska industries which they left
crippled when they dropped their
work and FASTENED to the states in
answer to the calls of war and wal
work. officials are confident that by
next spring the sunshine of promise
will again brighten the path of this
almost manless territory.
Here at Juneau enough men have
returned to enable the Alaska CAST
ineau Mining Corporation to add an
other shift to its big gold stamp mill
at Thans, nea here. For nearly a
year the mills have been operated
but eight hours a day on account of
the labor shortage. By spring the
company expects to be running TWEEN
ty-four hours again.
Enough men will be here early in
the year, it is believed, to reopen the
Jualian (correct) Mine, a property
lei Juneau which has not been
operated since 1917. A Belgian syndi-
cate which owns the mine has cabled
hat it will put a full force at work
within a few months.
Towns in southwestern Alaska,
hard hit by the rush southwark last
year, are preparing for the tide immi-
grafton which they think will set
north again in the spring.
There is talk of opening new gov
eminent town sites at Talkeetna and
Chickaloon, points on the railroad be-
ing built by the government be-
tween Seward and Fairbanks. Sew
eral coal mines are located at Chick
aloon while Talkeetna can be made
a supply base for the Ophir, Iditarod,
Kuskokwim and lower Innoko placer
diggings.

FLOUR NOW BEING MADE
OF ALASKA GROWN WHEAT

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Dec. 19-(By
Mail.)-(By Associated Press.)-
Alaska flour ground from Alaska
grain is being turned out at a Fair
banks mills for Alaska consumption.
Nearly all the flour used this winter
in Fairbanks and other interior Alas
ka points comes through the local
plant.
The mill, which has a capacity of
sixty barrels a day, has handled neal
ly all the wheat crop of the Tanana
Valley, one of Alaska's best agricul-
tural sections.
Omcials of the United States Agri-
cultural Experimental Station here
estimate that the Fairbanks region
of the Tanana Valley during last
summers short season produced $50
tons of oat and wheat hay, ten tons
of seed oats, 80 tons of wheat, $50
tons of potatoes, and so tons of car
rots. Even tomatoes did well, many
under glass.

Filipino Sneak Thief
Caught Had Loot In Hat

Juan Reveira, Filipino, has confess
ed to Sheriff Crowell that he burglar
lied two houses in the Wailuku mill
camp, last Monday night, from one
OF which he got 500 in cash, and
from the other a quantity of jewelry.
The Sheriff had happened to see the
Filipino in the vincinity Of the rob
bed houses earlier in the evening,
and had had him arrested on suspi-
ciOn. The loot was found in his hat,
Reveira sought to implicate two
other FilipinOs, Maxine Dairos and
another known as Marcillio, but both
proved alabis. Dairos is being held
however, for suspected connection
with the affair.
The houses robbed belonged to Jap
anese. The Filipino had previously
gained access to the houses by ap,
pearing with some pieces of wearing
apparel which he offered to sell at
such r~idiculously low price that the
bargain was snapped up and at the
same time information had been Civ
en- as to the hiding place of the
household valuables.

The question of Cockett's partisan
ship was raised during the trial of
the case before Judge Edings, in
which Ellen K. Robinson and her hus-
band, William T. Robinson, two of
the property owners affected by the
opening of the street, sought to up
set the amount awarded by the con
demnation board. Judge Edings at
the time refused to allow the plain
tiffs to submit proof that Cockett was
a republican and not a democrat, and
gave judgment to the County. 1t al
appealed on this point, among others,
and the higher court has just sus-
tanned it.
The amount allowed the Robinsons,
which they considered inadequate,
was something less than $500. The
eight or ten other property n
whose land was taken for the street,
accepted the awards made them and
are not parties to the suit.

Light Type OF Grip
Now Prevalent On Maui

An unusual number of cases of in
fluenza, grip, or yer colds are re-
ported on Maui at the present time
by physicians, who are inclined to
believe, however, that it is no more
than the usual run of this kind of
this time every year. There have
been no deaths. AS a precaution,
against possible development of a
more malignant contagion, doctors
urge that all cases of illness, even
though seemingly slight, be reported,

SALMON RETURN TO ALASKA
AFTER VOLCANIC ERUPTION

CORDOVA, Alaska, Dec. 3O-(By
Mail.)-(By Associated Press.)-Sal-
nor returned this year for the first
time in full numbers to some of the
Alaska waters which were quilted
with lava and ashes by the eruption
in 1912 Of Mount Katmai, said to be
one Of the worlds greatest volcanoes.
After the big eruption and its at
tendant disturbances, salmon dis
appeared from the nearby streams
for several seasons. Gradually they
returned. By next year, it is thought
here, nearly all the streams affected
will be alive with fish again.
At Afognak, which lies on Afognak
Island across Shelikoff Straits from
Mount Katmai, the Bureau of Fish
cries of the Department OF Com
merce has a station. This year the
bureau reported a successful collec,
ton OF salmon eggs was made at the
close of the spawning season., the
total amounting to close to 54,681, 900.
This catch constitutes the largest
take Of the sockeye species since the
Katmai eruption and seems to indi,
cate the complete recovery OF these
waters from the disastrous effects OF
the eruption" read a bureau state,
ment.
Fisherman arriving here from the
waters near Katmai said the In,
dams this year were catching salmon
in streams from which they were
driven siv years ago by the big
Smoke pot" as the volcano is known
on the nearby islands.

Believe Wireless Will
Remain With Navy

A general inspection OF the inter
island wireless system is being made
by officers Of the U. S. navy depart
ment, and the report is current in
Honolulu that this is likely to be fol-
lowed by the permanent taking over
OF the system.
Lieut.. j. A. Balch, with two assist
ants, was on Maui on Wednesday in
specting the Lahaina station. tie
visited Waikiki for lunch, leaving 4
hour later and the same evening from
Lahaina by a government vessel.
The wireless service Of the Mutual
Telephone Co., OF Honolulu, was
taken over by the navy as a war
measure, but the impression is now
general that it will never be turned
back to the company.

CHICAGO, January 16-The United States today completed the
legislative process of voting itself dry. In December 1917 congress
adopted a joint resolution providing for an amendment to the federal
constitution which provided that one year after its ratification by the
legislatures of the states the manufacture, sale, or transportation of
Intoxicating liquors within the states or the importation thereof into
or the expectation thereof from United States and all territories sub
ject to the jurisdiction thereof, should be prohibited. The constitution
provides that legislatures of three-fourths of the states in United States
must approve a constitutional amendment. The Nebraska legislature
which ratified the amendment today made SO states, completing the
necessary three-fourths of the total number of states needed to ratify
the prohibition amendment.
Meanwhile the nation goes dry on July LIST next by presidential
proclamation as a war measure unless the president resCndS it before
that date.

Paris.-(By MaiL)-A sugar-coated
American Expeditionary Force is the
ideal now being striven for in the
mark-time period of the armistice and
rehabilitation, with fighting gone and
the American fighting men suddenly
turned into a uniformed tourist-seeing
France. Peace, as has been quoted
often, has victories, and one of them
is to be the victory over the evil inc
fluences which besiege an idle army.
In this campaign the Y. NJ. C. A.
has planned the drive and the sol
diers are executing it. Incidentally,
the Y. M. C. A. has gone into compe-
tition with the wine-shop, as this story
will relate
During the period of rehabilitation,
the Y. NJ c. A. will have an even
greater responsibility than it has had
while the war was on. The soldiers
then had the inspiration of being in
the lght-or backing up the fighters
to spur them on. They also were ex-
tremely busy and their time for recre-
alton and for spending money was
limited But there has been let
down since the armistice was signed
and the men in olive drab are wait
ing for transportation home
Idleness always means trouble and

who has a boy buried in France
knows what that means. Now, his
mother wants his name on d monu
ment, not on building. If some peo-
pie want large building, it will be
nice, but please have the monument
with the boys names, too, even if the
monument must be a small one, for
every child knows then that monu-
ment stands for a dead soldier. Who
is going in and out of large build
ing in years to come will remember
why it was built? They won't care.
IT would be nice to have the monu-
ment stand where all the parades
go by it, where all busy working peo-
nile can pass it, and where every
mother. choking back sObs in their
throats and clenching their hands so
they won't cry in public can see It,
stand beside it, touch it and know that
their boy helped place it there, l
have no grave to visit. Please give
me this much. I wish other mothers
would write to the papers and say
the way they feel
A beautiful soldiers monument that
eloquently and instantly and perpet-
ually would tell the story of the he
roic virtue it commentaries, and at
the same time would be the source Of
inspiration for the generations that
are to come. is in every way prefer
able as a memorial to large public
hall. which loses ali OF its character
as a memorial in the dancing parties,
music parties, political parties and
other parties that may occupy it from
time to time, say twenty-five years
from now.
This misguided but well-meaning eff
fort to erect buildings instead of mem
orials should be discouraged whereyeh
it crops cut i'll every community The
only practical and useful memorial is
the one that memorializes. A monu-
ment does this and does nothing else.
A building may be useful but it isn't
a memorial. Let US erect monuments
to our soldiers-not replicas of our
postoffices and public Libraries.

the government has no idea of dump
ing hundreds of thousands of men back
into the United States after they
have had nothing to do but loaf for
months To do this would be to Gre
ate a very unhealthy social and indus
trial condition in our own country,
There are drills and discipline and,
for many, the work of helping to put
France on her feet again At the
same time, the men have more lei
sure and more chances to buy things
than they had before.
One of the most important things
the Y. M. c. A. expects to do during
the rehabilitation period is to enter
into active competition with the
French wine shops. No. the Red TIi-
angle is not going into the saloon bust
ness. 1t is planning to fight alcohol
with sugar. According to medical ex-
perts, this is the best kind of ammu-
milton to use in battle against the
more or less well-known Demon.
Heavy drinkers don't care for sugar
and heavy consumers of sweets usu-
ally pass up the booze" So by ply
ing the soldiers with candy, chocolate,
chewing gum and cookies, the Y. NJ
c. A. expects to reduce the consump-
ton Of alcohol very materially.
