THE WRONG CAUSE

Victor Rosewaters statement to Congressional committee that 2500 newspapers had suspended in the United States account of the increase in ond class postage charges is very great exaggera- tion. That 2.500 newspapers in the country have suspended is argument for the restoration of the old postage rates cannot be disputed because it stitutes d showing that the of newspaper mak- ing has passed beyond the point where there is profit in many instances But the increased postage only small cost of the burden which caused the great fatality among newspapers. Only small
 part of the newspapers distributed among the read CTS bear postage charges at all Most of the copies of daily newspapers reach the readers with out passing through the postoffice at al and the rule which permits paper the of the mails within the county of publication free of charge counts for another large part of the circulation
 It is the cost of production rather than that of distribution which has raised havoc among the newspapers of the United States. The increased cost of paper, metal, equipment, ink and above all of labor has made 1t so that the outgo has, in many instances. gone beyond the income, and that always sooner or later. calls for suspension ss

Room For PrOspectOrs
(HYder Minerl

(Hyder Mner)
 There is impression abroad in some quarters that the field for prospecting in this district has been practically covered, and that the argonauts ground. must seek other fields for their endeavors
 Nothing could be further from the facts
 When the first discoveries were made on the Salmon they were made by men who had been pros oecting the Bear River section and who into Bear river section had been thoroughly covered, hey came to the mouth of the Salmon and followed t up until they reached the Canadian border, then tarted prospecting the Canadian side One reason Or passing through Alaskan territory without giving more than cursory glance was that there was a while if locations were made on the Alaskan side hey would have to be recorded in Ketchikan nec- ssitating long and expensive trip.
 So far the Canadian side of the Salmon river basin is concerned, practically every foot of ground taken, glance at Dalby B. Morkilrs map will demonstrate But there is vast unexplored territory on the Alaskan side that carries the same general formations in which is found across the border. This territory extends through from the salmon along the border to the Yukon Territory, tory accessible from Hyder may be roughly described IS extending from the Salmon to the north divide of the Unuk distance of 80 miles on an air line Getting up either the Unuk of the Chickamn from he coast is impracticabe, many prospecting ,arty can testify to their sorrow. Two summers lack Pedersen who staked the Red Cliff Bear river and Earl Hyde, mining engineer of Seattle. both about as husky specimens as ever shouldered lp the Unuk from the coast and failed each time.
 Prospectors and trappers say that there is com )aratively easy route to the headwaters of both the and the Unuk by following the glaciers rom the head of the Salmon and then dropping down onto the other streams. This route has two advantages. The prospector following it is travers- ing the mineral zone and drop away from the 5acier at any point for prospecting The other ad- vantage is its shortness.
 Once a mineral is staked in the new area oues to the coast can be worked out from the in- ide if found necessary, but that is something be considered after it has been proven that reports of he richness of the Unuk and Chckamin districts well founded.
 It is less than twenty miles from the Salmon o the Chickamn.

JAPAN WILL EVACUATE CHINA

Japan has agreed to evacuate the Shantung Peninsula and all her troops from China pro- vided the Chinese will organize army guard the Shantung railroad and maintain order in that secto nof China. This would indicate that Japan spoke in good faith when she declared that she had no intention of remaining permanently in China of interfering with the sovereignty of that country over her own territory for any considerable length of time.
 The attitude of President Wilson and the Amer ican delegates at Paris in favor of complete Chinese sovereignty over all Chinese territory and they accepted the arrangement for Japanese occupa- ton of small part of the Shantung Peninsula only because it that the breaking up of the peace conference, and they did it then only the assur- ance that Japanese occupation would be brief. If Japan only awaits the action of China, indicated in her recent offer. it would that the United States has been instrumental in securing for the Chinese lrelease from German lease more than twenty years ago. which had more than three quarters of century yet to run, and which was surrenderd to Japan when she captured the Ger man army of occupation in 1915

Taking a Toy Too Seriously
{ New York WOrld)

(New York World)
 Addiction to the ouija board 1t seems has made such nroads on the tme habits of study and nerves of students at the University of Michigan as to ion of professor the lure of the ouija is be- ion of one professor, the lure of the ouija is be- coming serious menace to this country"
 The birth-rate of menaces is so high that is difficult to keep track of all their progeny. But Is this rude and flimsy bit of wood and glue worthy to be included in the list of devices harmful o the American mind? Most people think of it as 4 psychic toy with which they amuse themselves as their parents amused themselves with the panchette and with just about much seriousness They might concede 1t status little above that of the pigs n-clover puzzles and How old-is-Ann?" problems of other years, but very few of them possibly re- .sard 1t as medium of communication with the 'pirit world Those who do would probably have ound some other outlet for their credulity.
 What has happened is that the public is in one 1f its periodical moods for diyerting itself with mental gmcrack and the ouija board has served the purpose, while adding element of the mystical to he fun. Alter a while people will turn their at ention to something else. But no doubt the present prenomenon in highly civilized nation would inter- st savage races who bow down to totem poles and practice voodoo rites

 The quoted sentence is from an official bulletin made up from official reports and probably fails to include many actual losses.

LET'S HOPE THEY SUCCEED

Many Valdez citizens urging At

 a citizen of Alaska for many years. He has
 never asked for any office at the hands of

 It is very much to be desired that the people Of Valdez succeed in inducing MT. Dimond to become a candidate for the Legislature. MT.

The services of such man in the Legislature would be of nestimable value.
