J. G. GRANTS BROTHER
 DIES IN COLORADO

Mayor J. c. Grant received a cablegram yesterday from Glen wood Springs. Colorado. stating that his brother, Adam Grant, had been operated on unsuccess- fully and that there was no hope for his recovery. The cablegram was signed by his niece, Mrs. Mary Powell. An hour later Mr. Grantreceived another cablegram from Mrs. H. T. Duggan, his sis ter, which stated that her brother had passed away in the hospital.
 The news came as a great shock to Mayor Grant. He re- ceived a letter from his brother only a few days ago, and at the time the letter was written the brother and his family were all well. Mr. Grant does not know whether the operation became necessary on account of an acci- dent or the development of some sudden complication.
 Adam Grant was born in Nova Scotia 60 years ago. For the past 30 years he has resided in the state of Colorado where he has engaged in ranching near the town of Rifle. He is survived by a widow and four grown children, two of whom are married.
 Mayor Grant, in company with Mrs. Grant, visited Adam Grant and family at their Colorado ranch in 1915. The beautiful double tooth Elk charm which Mayor Grant wears was presented to him by his brother. The teeth were taken from an Elk which was killed by Adam Grant.

Eldred Ireland, of Seattle, paid the Sentinel a most pleasant fra ternal call this week. MT. Ire land is in charge of the stationery department of the we'll known firm of Trick & Murray. He is making the trip north in order to become better acquainted with the Alaskan trade. MT. Ireland is an aneX-serviceman. During the war he received a commission as a first lieutenant. Since his arrival in Wrangell he has made the ac- quaintance of a number of the boys of the local post of the Am erican Legion. MT. Ireland is quite enthusiastic over Alaska. He even brags on the postal ser vice which is so generally knocked. He says he was sur prised at receiving a letter from his mother only three days after it was posted in Seattle.

Governor Riggs and Family Return

Governor Thomas Riggs, Jr., and family were aboard the Spo- kane Monday en route to their home in Juneau after an extend ed trip to Washington and New York.
 The Spokane arrived in Wran- gell at 5 a. m. and departed with in half an hour after breakfast had been served. It was there. fore a keen disappointment to the many friends of Governor and Mrs. Riggs that their time in Wrangell was so brief as to permit of nothing more than a few hurried greetings.
 While in Washington Governor Riggs was very active in the in- terest of Alaska. He gave par ticular attention to the matter of the Forest Service extending more liberal terms to paper man. ufacturers, and states that some definite terms were agreed upon which cannot fail to attract paper manufacturers to Alaska, es- pecially at this time when the paper shortage in the States is appalling.
 Governor Riggs stated that at least half a dozen men of national note whom he met while East will make the trip up the Stikine the coming season.
 The Governor further stated that he and Mrs. Riggs had in- vited two of Mrs. Riggs nephews who are attending the Harvard law school to spend the summer with them in Alaska, and that the young men would arrive in Juneau within the next two months.

Daniel Baker, the affable young travelling representative of the Western Dry Goods company, was pleasant caller at the Sent incl office yesterday. MT. Baker does not, of course, ever expect to sell the Sentinel any dry goods regardless of how much we may need them,) but he has to come down Front street as far as Cap tain links store anyway. Then after he has sold Jinks a bill of goods he comes across the street and lets the Sentinel force enjoy the sunshine of his smiling count enance. Baker is no pessimist, and we surely like him, but he is rather peculiar in his tastes. Yes terday he took snapshot of Jinks, and then when he was over our way seemed to have forgot ten that he had a kodak with him.

The F'ido club, having great faith in the kindliness of the weatherman, had planned their first outing of the season for last Sunday. Therefore, the members of the club felt deeply disappoint- ed that their confidence had been so misplaced when Sunday morn- ing dawned cloudy and rainy. The occupants of the Bachelors Bungalow came to the rescue and invited the club to come to their home and have the dinner served indoors. The invitation was gladly accepted and de- lightful afternoon was enjoyed by everyone present.

several thousand in number. In almost
all the cities last minute appeals were
made by civic bodies and by the zen
sus authorities for the unenumerated
to file their returns.
But Alexandria's growth is never.
theless substantial development, even
at l7.S per cent. That is the highest
rate of gain since the decade of ls5O-60
when it reached 44.9 per cent. Indeed
with the exception Of that decade the
city's growth has been very slow, the
decennial increments being 7.3 per
cent; OF per cent; 5 per cent; l.3 per
cent and So per cent. So there Is a
ground for qualification in Alexan
dria in even this disappointing show
ing, and Washington is glad that its
Virginia neighbor, once part of the
District, has started forward again in
the matter of development, and is en-
joying substantial industrial pros
perity.

will. We hope to be, through the me-
diun Of trade, more closely connected
with it than at any time hitherto.
We have acquired no territory nor
lost any as a fruit Of the war. Our
boundaries remain unchanged. Our
flag, on the continent here and in all
our overseas possessions, still stands
for popular government. The people
rule. Our institutions still function
with vigor. They have not been weak
cned or changed by the unusual strain
and experience Of the past three years.
Elsewhere, there have been great
commissions and many appalling con-
sequences. Old governments have been
overturned and new ones set up. The
new ones are not as yet steady on their
pins, and may not be for some years.
So, notwithstanding the blood and
treasure the war cost us, we emerged
from it in condition highly fortu
nate as compared with the condition
of any of the leading nations Of Eu-
rope. And no better sign could we
give of appreciation of our good for
tune than by going to the polls in No

corded, and Pumping again for "gov-
ernment of the people, by the peo-
pie, for the people'-for our own peo

Alexandria's Growth.

Although Alexandria is to be con-
graduated upon the good showing it
has made in the census, scoring a net
increase in ten years Of 2,731, the sec
ond largest decennial advance since
census taking began, there is, it is un.
dsrstood, some dissatisfaction there on
the score of the federal count. Alex
andria hoped to rise beyond the 10000
point in the official figures, but instead
is rated As containing $1,000. Its hopes
in this respect were based upon GER
tain territorial enlargements effected
about four years ago, and also upon the
effect Of the establishment Of war
time industries, particularly a ship
yard, which drew several hundred
workers with their families.
Alexandria's disappointment is per
haps typical. Many other cities have
already filed their protests against the
preliminary official returns. 1t is, of
course, just possible that the returns
are approximately correct, that the ex.
pccta.iors were too ii2.: and thn: t',,-e
have been even some losses to Offset
the increase in part. IF the census
r9u;t . h. con plcic il may also be
due to tie r":lisca"" of the people
themselves, who have failed to answer

Sixteenth Street.

Another effort to change the name
Of 10th street has been started, an as.
sociation devoted to the welfare of
that thoroughfare having at recent
meeting voted to work for its redesig-
nation as "Presidents' Avenue" This
is a revival. in effect, of name that
was bestowed on 10th street by act Of
Congress several years ago, "Avenue Of
the Presidents" After continuation
for some time it was by another act Of
Congress restored to the original desig-
nation in numerical sequence of city
streets. This double change entailed
some confusion and much revision Of
stationery. Possibly the promoters Of
the present proposal to revert to the
old theme for the streets name feel
that the abbreviated form will have a
better chance of permanent adoption.
"Avenue Of the Presidents" while ex.
pressive, was bit too long for com
mon usage. 1t was argued at the time
of its proposal and adoption that it
was not longer than the names of some
of the most famous streets in foreign
capitals. 1t will be interesting to note
the reaction on 18th street-as ii will
still be called for the present-on the
subject of this proposition. On the for
mer occasion the dwellers on the street
were divided sharply into two camps.
A referendum Of the immediate occu-
pants of the thoroughfare, on its full
length from Lafayette Square to the
outermost reaches of the extension,
would perhaps be the most just way Of
what the people want. And.
after all, Congress might best be guided
by this consideration. :.

The Coal Wage Findings.

A division III the coal wage commits
sion named by the President to settle
the strike is indicated. with the pros
pect of two re. orts. one signed by the
representatives Of the public and the
operators and the other by the repre-.
sentative of the miners. The former
it is stated. will recommend net nd
vance Of 25 per cent, including the "a
per cent already granted, and no less
ening of the hours of labor. The
other is forecast as urging wage iu-
crease of about 35 per cent and a re,
duction to seven-hour day. These
reports have not yet been formulated
and there is still a possibility OF a
full agreement between the three MEM
bers of the commission. The Presi-
dent in appointing this body expressed
the hope that its findings would be
unanimous. This, however, would be
possible. only on the basis of a CON.
promise, unless the third member Of
the commission, outvoted, by his col
leagues, should accept the decision of
his colleagues.
The public is chief; concerned in
this matter in respect to the preven-
tion Of strike. Another shut down
of coal mining would be disastrous,
even at this season Of steadily lessen
ing demand. If the coal mines were
closed now or few weeks hence for
a considerable period the effect upon
the supply for next winter would be
serious. Yet if strike has to come it
would better come now than half a
year later.
In the matter of miners wages it
must be borne in mind that there is q
possibility Of a general fall in earn
ings and costs within a year. A scale
written now to conform to the pres
ent requirements of the workers might
six months hence be out of proper
tion. It should be adjustable to even
tual conditions 50 that if there is a
decided drop in the general labor mar.
ket and consequent drop in produc-
tion costs everywhere the cost of coal
production will not stand at the peak.
The people who burn coal must pay
these bills, and it would be unfair to
them to keep the cost of coal up in
consequence Of very high wage scale
while everything else was falling.
Whether the report reaches the
President unanimously or with diver.
gence Of views, in all justice the mat.
ter should be considered settled, even
though strong minority presentation
is rendered. Reference to another
commission would not assuredly re.
suit in more harmonious conclusion
but would cause delay, and even a,
this season Of the year delay of de-
cision is to be avoided.
