PROSECUTORS TO SEEK
MOTHER LODE UP TAKU

Sparkling Brothers. recent arrivals
from the south, have outfitted here
for a prospecting trip to the head
waters of the Taku River. They
will be gone all summer.
The Taku River has been long
an interesting stream for prospec-
tors owing to the fact that on some
of its bars gold can always be
washed out In many cases the gold
is not in large quantities, but fair
wages can be washed out each day.
The gold was. first discovered
many years ago by stampeders to
the Interior who used the river for
trail to the Interior of Alaska.
The gold being so scattered along
the river bars prospectors have al
ways contended that somewhere at
the headWaters is the mother lode.
Sparkling Brothers are on this trip
to seek the mother lode.

SITKA COMING BACK,
SPECIAL ELECTION TO
BE HELD NEXT MONTH

Sitka is coming back. Formerly
the seat of Territorial Government,
headquarters for the representatives
of the Imperial Russian Government
when Alaska was a Russian possess
ion, center of learning and seat of
the Russian church for many years,
it finally dropped to an incorporated
town of the second class.
But Sitka people refuse to stay
down. SO on July q an election
will be held for the purpose of
boosting the town into the ranks
of incorporated communities of the
first class. And people arriving
from there recently say it will go
over the top with a bang.
The movement was started several
months ago by residents of the
former Alaskan capital On March
"a, last, a petition was filed in the
local office of the Clerk of the DIS
trict Court, containing the names OF
approximately 100 persons, asking fol
authority to call a special election
for the purpose of raising the town
from the second to first class NUM-
cipal corporation. Recently Judge
Robert w. Jennings signed an order
calling the election and setting the
date for July 81.

WRANCELI- GETS
FIRST MACHINE
IN BIG FLIGHT
First Alaskan Town on New
York To Nome Circuit;
Details Being Completed

Wrangell has been definitely choS-
on bv the War Department as the
only landing place in Southeastern
Alaska for the special airplane 1llsht
flight from New York to Nome which
will occur in July, according to the
Wrangen Sentinel Which means
that Wrangell is to have the honor
of being the first town in Alaska
to be visited by modern aeroplanes.

in army machines by military filters,
will begin on the morning OF july D.
from the Mineola, l.. l., field, Capt.
ST. Clair Sterrett being in command.
Its route will be direct from New
York to Chicago, thence through the
states of Wisconsin, Minnesota and
North Dakota Then into Canada
over the provinces of Saskatchewan
Alberta and British Columbia. The
squadron will cross back into the
United States at Hazleton, b. C., to
Wrangell. From Wrangell the line
of flight will be to Whitehorse Y. /"
and may be close to Juneau as the
town is in almost a direct air line
between the two points. Dawson IS
the next landing place scheduled,
then Rampant, Fort Gibbon, Fair
banks, Golovin and thence to its
destination at Nome.
The landing place at Wrangell
is near the mouth of the Stikine
River on Sergeif Island. Supplies
for the planes are now being accum-
ulated there under the direction OF
w. w. Mclaughlin, Operator in
Charge of the Signal Corps Gable

places along the Yukon River where
stops have been arranged.

who recently visited Wrangell and
who is now proceeding down the
Yukon River making final prepare
lions for the flight, while in Wran-
CELL stated that it was not the pur-
pose of this flight to establish a

merely as a demonstration of what
can be done. He stated, however,

EAGLE RIVER TRAIL
is MAKING PROGRESS

Work on the AUX Bay-Eagle River
trail being done under the super
vision of Perry J. Wiley, Divisional
Territorial Road Commissioner, is
progressing very we'll according to
Mr.. Wiley, who has just returned
to the city after ar inspection trip
to the scene OF the work.
The trail which is being built
with Territorial funds, joins the
government road at AUX Bay and
parallels the beach to Eagle river.
In many places the beach itself is
used for the trail. The purpose is
to have an all-the-year-round means
for farmers at AUX Bay, Tee Har-
Dor, Pearl Harbor and Eagle to
drive stock over and for general
usage.
Only small crew of men is
being used, but since the beach is
used in many places. the trailmak-
ing is not a big job and the work
will be completed in god time.

Governor Cox who gave promise after his nomi- nation of a new day for democracy and who it was believed would lead the party of the wilsonian shadow Is himself lost in it, that voters could expect no change under administration by hin.
 In this state there probably little reason as there can be anywhere why should be con fined within party boundaries. It is for the voters determine what they want done; how they want the state lands administered, and that is the over shadowing question: the which the candidates of the two parties diveded though think that the people not.
 The democratic candidates committed to the continuation of the present policy which has prevailed for the last four years They committed to it because it was developed and has been maintained under democratic control. Perhaps if the republi- had been in control the policy would have grown up. But that party was not in control and the democratic party therefore bound by what it has done. and in endorsing it in party council that policy favoring large stock interests to the detriment of the smaller stockmen and the people generally, the party pledged a continuance of it.
 The charges that have been made of specific mis- dongs. involving bribery perhaps unfounded. But anyhow. they have little bearing the general situation whether proved disproved. The policy that has prevailed is the incidents alleged isolated incidents of the administration of the public lands It is the policy upon which the voters will have to pass November 2.

FEAR OF POVERTY

Tn the marked by the reign of Queen Victoria, people of the middle class obsessed by the fear of poverty-not the real poverty that makes people hungry but the reduced circunstances' that might keep them from being respectable How awful if they should lose their money and have to work with their hands get along without servant!
 And now, as writer in the London Spectator points out thousands of we-to-do people have lost their money and their servants, and because others also have lost they still remain respectable and do not cringe or culver when they meet their cousins whom the war has happened 10 enrich And many of them too have worked with their hands and liked it. So they know that what they thought the worst is not so bad and they face life with courage that they never knew before ready meet each sit the morrow. The very insecurity of the times has taught people respect themselves and not the posi- ton that the self was often sacrificed to maintain. What relief
 Religion and philosophy have always maintained that "the Kingdom of Heaven is within you and that it was hard for a rich Cor one who would be rich) to enter into it because he sacrificed the self within for the riches that he wanted to main tain or get And to common it is clear enough that in world of change the best gift to ones child ren is strength and intelligence and reasonable edu- cation with which make their own way through the world But fashion is supreme, and what Bernard shaw has called the 'nddle-class morality Of Mid Victorian England and America accented the respec- tabitv- of formal observances and servants and sessions.
 If the war has rid the world for time of that deadenng fashion it has at least one substantial good to set against its many evils.

Before reject the offer of that philanthropist of. Seguin, Texas MT. Charles E. Tips. guarantee against the fatal results of snake bites should think the second time. We should not let thusasm for prohibition blind to she peril which turks all of venomous serpents. Mir. Tips proposal would have excited livelier appreciation if it had been made at another season of the year rather than now when the snakes against which he is desiring to safeguard us are going retire for the winter and by the time the saving fluid which Mir. Tips proposes send could reach they would be in what been called "cattymose" state for a period during which we would be secure anyhow
 But we must in mind that it is winter all the in the Salt River valley. for that mat ter. much the time With the venaI season the snakes will emerge refreshed and with new stocks of poison against which need to be protected.
 We suppose those who fanatically dry that with them human life weighs little against prohibi- ton. will pretend argue that there is nothing in Arzonian experience warrant the precaution which Mir Tips desires to throw about They will say will try show by statistical proof that that if our had'let whisky alone studiously deadlest snakes try avoid contact with human beings the human life previous to 1914 when we adopted prohibition would have been longer. They will try to show that more persons have per ished in Arizona of derium than have succumbed the alkaline poison which the rattle snake injects into the veins of humans when figura lively speaking his back against wall and there nothing else for him to do except coil and strike.
 A rejoinder by Mr. Tips may confound these fanatics and their statistics by showing they talking without sufficient data. How they know what would have been the volume of fatality from snake bites but for the precaution many of our citizens took previous to the time when prohibition robbed them of protection? That they have survived since attributable only to that providence which often shields the helpless and the minstrations of the bootlegger But cannot safely rely upon provi dence and the bootlegger is finding his phanthropic activities becoming increasingly difficult.

Party Linsa Auru

From all parts of the country comes word that fn the presidential election and the various state elections party lines win be dsregarded they never been before The personality of candidates will also cut less figure than formerly There will not be SO much voting for the man" hitherto the Independent voters of his independence but for what tho stands. Thus. in many cases both sides inferior may receive the votes of Intelligent citizens because the principles and policies to which personally these inferior candidates are committed believed to be better and more vital tan those to which personally better candidates may bc pledged.
 We have in mind the attitude of a large number voters in eastern state toward their candidates for governor. They frankly say that they do not Ike of them. That they believe his opponent Co be a better But they say he Is committed u a bad policy.
 The people everywhere are dissatisfied with con dtions. Rightly wrongly they hold the demo- cratic party responsible for these conditions The complaint is directed mainly against the president who has made effort to remove what the people believe To be papabe causes of the conditions but vlth insstencc which they interpret be stub iornness be has held che Ihlices and tho men hat have been regarded largely blamablc for ttcsc conditions.
