COMMUNIST ACTIVITIES.


 Agents of the New York joint legislative committee Investigating seditious activities, have discovered that Young Peoples Socialist leagues to teach Communism have been formed in all the important cities of New York state, according to Deputy Attorney-General Berger. In Rochester and some upstate cen ters, he declared, junior leagues have been organized to SOW the communist seed among children.
 "The committees investigators have discovered in Rochester and some other important centers up. state that the Young Peoples Social ist league, an offshoot of the So- cialis. Party of America and com monty called 'Ypsels,' has aligned itself with the Communists and is devoting it's time and attention tc spreading the principles of Com lrnunism," MT. Berger said.

cred that the Ypsels' have formed junior leagues of girls and boys between 12 and 16, to teach them the principles of Communism. There is evidence to indicate that large part of this instruction is given in schools conducted on Sunday, some of which are called Sunday Schools.
 "Those whose memory extends back farther than a day will recall that during the war the '9psels' were quite prolific in teaching and encouraging young men to become conscientious objectors.' Their leagues are all over the state, in all the important cities"

A DEAD HAND" ON ALASKA.

The appeal of Governor Thomas Riggs, Jr., for greater measure of home rule in Alaska will oe sym pathetically received in Seattle, re- marks the Seattle Times of Janu- ary 16,
 The Northern executive pointed out last night to members of the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Cham Der of Commerce that funds derived from Alaskan sources are diverted to the federal, instead of the terri torial, treasury.
 This situation, coupled with nu- merous restrictions imposed by con- flicting bureaus in Washington, rem ders the country dependent to al undesirable degree upon the Federal Government for financial assistance, detracts from its political freedom and retards it's development.
 Alaska can and will solve it's own problems whenever Congress gives 1t a chance by removing the "dead hand" of Washington bureaucracy from the helm of its affairs.
 "One of the things I want to work for is the standardization of au- thority over Alaska in one bureau, preferably resident in Alaska" ex- plained Governor Riggs in his state ment before the bureau. Another thing I favor for Alaska is a con- stabulary similar to that of Penn svlvania. Alaska has no policemen only deputy United States marshals
 Let Alaska have charge of hel own resources so she can be self supporting. The Government Is talk ing away our chances for revenue SC We must go to the Government fol money. Our coal lands are closed and our forests, oil and seal revenue goes into the United States Urea sury."

NATIONS COMPETING
 FOR ARMENIAN GOLD

LONDON.-A lively competition for Transcaucasian trade appears to have sprung up among the Ameri- can, British, and Italian interests working there. The British consul at Batum, in a report published in the Board of Trade Journal, states that members of the American Re- lief Committees are busiiy engaged in opening up trade with America. The British still lead in importa- !tions, he asserts.
 The consul states that hitherto little else but flour and clothing for distribution to Armenian refugees and persons of other nationalities in distress have reached this coun- try from the United States, but the attention which is being paid to the Transcaucasus by American inter ests points to an appreciable in crease in American trade in the near future."
 The Italian mission, as part of it's campaign, has established a fort nightly service of passenger and icargo steamers between Triest and Batum. The route takes the boats through the northern Black sea and stops are made at Caucasian ports.

THE POOR MANS MECCA"

Reports coming from the States tell of the scarcity of jobs and the low wages paid compared to the cost of living there, points out the editor of the Ketchikan Times. The scarcity of work is largely due to, the. closing of shipyards and other war industries. Did you ever stop to thing how fortunate we, in Alas ka, are compared with other places! Here we have no problem of war industries to convert to peace-time needs and requirements. with their attendant curtailment of manufac- ture and labor, resulting in the hardship of enforced idleness. In these days of high prices every day of idleness is a real tragedy to the laborer and his dependents. Here in Alaska work is plentiful and a
 
 great many of our workers make enough money during the summer and fall to obviate the necessity of their working in the winter. There are jobs for all who wish to work, and the job hunting, so baneful to the laborer of the States. is absent here. In Alaska the job usually seeks the man. To the progressive fellow with few dollars to invest there is always opportunity here al home where the few spare dollar; can be made to net handsome re turns on the investment, with ths doubtful speculative feature so prev alent in other places, entirely elim mated. Alaska is truly the pool mans "Mecca."

GET YOUR GOAT.

It's a wonder, says the Hyder Miner, that prospectors long before this time haven't taken tumble to the value of the nanny goat, and quit buying canned milk to pack into the hills, and extra grub to feed a dog.
 Animated milk factory, pack ami nal, pet and companion, docile as a kitten, able to go anywhere man can go and then some. able to eat anything from cedar twigs to wrap ping paper, an asset rather than an expense, the nanny goat would rev olutionize the prospector's life, if he only knew it.
 Just imagine-fresh milk, rich cream for the coffee night and morning; 25 to 70 pounds of pack transferred from weary human shoulders to a husky animals back when travelling, or an extra pack taken along, enabling the prospector to extend his trips away from his base of supplies. Isn't the picture alluring?
 Don't feed dog-let a goat feed you.
