here perhaps in July or the first part of August-Seward Gateway.

The shipping boards plan to run main line of steamers from Seattle to Seward or Anchorage with smaller vessels plying as feeders for the main line boats is not calculated to arouse any degrees of enthusiasm in the breasts of the residents of those towns which happen to be on the pro- posed spurs. Such a plan would build up the terminals and tear down the towns situated at any considerable distance from the line of travel. If this is the best way to develop Alaska that Washington can present to our people we fear their efforts are wasted.-Valdez Miner.
 There are no flue cases in Interior Alaska, none in Cordova and none in Anchorage, according to a statement issued by the local board of health. Health Officer Dr. M. B. Smith and Robert Joseph Diven, who, as presi- dent of the school board, is a member of the board of health, met with Engi- neer in Charge Frederick D. Browne recently for the purpose of investiga- ting certain reports current in Nena- na regarding the approach of the flu, and they declare that they have been unable to find a trace of the disease in the Interior country or at any point on the coast sufficiently close to en- danger the health of interiorites- Nenana News.

Before this nearly-ended week dwindles and dies and is inferred in the graveyard of weeks and years, it will be safe to say that fifty people hitherto noticeable here mostly for their absence are on their way to Fairbanks over the Long Trail, either between Chitina and here or CoFdova and Fairbanks-all of which will help a little, each man in his own peculiar way.-Fairbank News-Miner.

REPLACEMENT ALASkANS

Tn hearings before the senate com mittee on commerce on the bill pro- posing 70 extend the powers of the Alaska shipping board offer addition al proof that the hardest thing iii the world to accomplish is to get two or more professional Alaskans to agree to anything. The Post-Inte1ligencer does not presume to say which side of the controversy is right, but out of the charges and counter charges the only impression possible is that each side is right in saying that the other is wrong Certainly the senate cannot find it helpful when Alaska factions decide that the most stylish battle zone is a public hearing in 8 committee room.
 The country has become accustom- ed to the complaint that few persons in congress or in public life under stand Alaska's problems. By a care ful campaign of education Eastern congressman were put into posses sion of certain basic facts concerning Alaska's magnificent size and it's splendid resources, but when some measure designed to benefit the North land was under consideration, oppos- ing factions of outside Alaskans moved in and staged a family row It appeared that never did one side attribute an honest purpose to the other. This spirit of intolerance and habit of making reckless charges have done more to retard progress in Alaska than anything else.
 The tendency to take sides in controversy is a human trait, posses sed by congressman as we'll as others. Acrimonious debate, immoderate speech and mutual recriminations have tendency to align members of congress on one side or the other. This conflict of opinion has the ef- feet of retarding action on any bill no matter how meritorious it may be. The anger displayed by the in-and-out Alaskans is usually reflected in the congressional committees which have the measures under consideration.
 Perhaps it would be too much to hope that Alaskans compose their differences at home so that congress might have the benefit of an orderly presentation of facts. A get-together meeting in advance of congressional hearing would be a weTcome relief from the quarrels and bickerings at Washington. Even in a territory of such magnificent distances as the Northland, display of community spirit is among the possibilities. The trouble appears to be that the pro- fessional Alaskans so seldom meet each other in or out of Alaska that their opinions are unknown until a congressional committee makes a record of all the ugly charges and reckless statements. It has been rather cOnvincingly demonstrated that staging quarrels before congress does not make for progress, so that the kindlier and more diplomatic way might be tried just once.-Seattle Post-Intel1igencer.

from indigestion and dyspepsia I'M

1WILDFIRE" REACHES THE EN-
TIRE BURLEY REGION

First results of the preliminary
survey of the damage done by rust"
and "wildfire" in the Burnley re-
gion conducted by the temporary
organization of the Burnley Tobacco
Growers Association indicate that
practically the entire region is more
or less affected by the diseases. Es-
Inmates of the damage in the vari-
Gus counties range from SO to 5 per
cent. John w. Newman, in a short
report issued Wednesday, says that
a safe estimate as to he damage
the entire Burley cp has suffered
is Is per cent.
"There will und Bhbted be :.
great quantity of the present crop
that, when cured, will show the
effects Of 'wiJdfire' and rust, the
report says. 'To what extent the
buyers will discriminate against
this kind of tobacco remains to be
