For the past twenty years the North west mounted police4have been try ing to find out the fate of Hector Nc Lean, who left Nova Scotia during the Yukon gold rush and has been per sistently inquired for by relatives ever since. B. F. Grigwire of Wrangell has at last solved the mystery. He states that August 23, 1897, eight men, of whom Mclean was one, started up Lynn canal for Skagway in a Colum- bia river fishing boat, and that during a violent storm the vessel capsized and Mclean and four others were drowned. The rest of the party were picked up by the steamship Islander and taken to Skagway, where they scattered to different camps in the Interior.

LOOK OUT FOR THE LIME CAN

Chlorinated lime, which has come into almost general household use, is practically harmless of itself, but many cases have been reported of persons who have been blinded by an explosion which occurred while open ing the can. The explosion shoots out a shower of lime into the eyes of the person opening the can. An official warning printed on certain cans runs:
 Punch a small hole in the con- tainer before taking off the top. This will let any gas escape ,and no explo- sion will follow. The cause of the explosion is a decomposition of the chlorinated lime when exposed to dampness or too great heat"

I ALASKA'SPER
 CAPLTALEADS
 ALL SECTIONS

Thirty-0ne million dollars repre- sents the balance of trade in favor of Alaska for the past year. The report states that the volume of commerce per capita is larger than in any other section of the world. The total of more than $31, 100000 is approximately $1,OO0 for each white inhabitant of the territory
 During the past year 24,273 people were added to the population, while 23,902 left Alaska. This leaves a mar gin as opposed to the two preceding years, when 13,00O more people left the country than came in. The report explains the $14,5O0,000 shrinkage in shipments to the United States as due largely to the $7,951, ,OOO decrease in copper shipments and the $6,495, 900 decrease in the value of the canned salmon shipments. Copper production in Alaska was curtaiIed during the past year, due to the collapse of the copper market. Salmon shipments fell off as result of the unusually light run for the year.
 Decline in gold production was laid to the labor shortage and the high cost of gold mining Many of the low grade placer mines had been compelled t0 shut down on account of lack of labor. That the herring industry would in time rival the salmon indus try was the prediction of Alaska cus- 4Om officials, due to the rapid strides herring production is making Total imports for 1919 amounted to $38,957 ,259; total exports reached $70,- 695,0 ,080. The value of the gold and sill yer shipped to the United States dur ing the year was $8,636,139; that of the merchandise shipped to the United States was $6O,473,623. The complete table of Alaska products shipped to the United States during the past fifteen years shows the biggest jump between 1915 and 1916 In 1915 the total was $50, ,335, ,683; in 1916 it was $79,051,7 ,758. The increase was continued during 1917, with total of $90,054,962, but fell off to $81, ,O28,0 ,0O9 for 1918 and $65,- 131,056 for 1919.

WAR ON PROFTTEERS

If there are profiteers, meaning
merchants whose profit is criminally
, inordinate and not in relation to the
expense as distributors, down with
the proflteers, but let 1t be borne IN
mind that a merchant is, as clearly
as q woman, entitled to good repu-
tation until bad character is proved.
The Federal agents should, in
their effort to punish the guilty, be
certain of their facts before ventur-
ing to publish, through the press or
orally, any assertion rejecting upon
any individual, firm or company en-
gagged as distributor. They should
emulate the advice Of Davy Crock
EFT relative to the Importance of be-
ing sure. They should not approach
merchant because he is mer-
chant and because his prices seem
high, in the mood In which the i'm
mortal Davey dealt with the coon.
These are times of such difficulty
that the hard-pressed find allegation
easy. There are many who are
eager to accept any charge that can
be laid against any one whose prices
seem higher than 1t Is assumed they
should be. The times are difficult
for many business enterprises as
we'll as for many individuals. There
are, no doubt, enterprises which are
making handsome profits. But only
when facts are plain and demon
stable should the reputation Of an
establishment or an individual be
brought under the baneful adver-
Using that arises from publication
of alleged unfair dealing. Even gen.
eral and ambiguous rumors may
bring outstanding merchants under
suspicion and so work unjustif1ed
injury.
With this in mind let the investi-
cation proceed.

PRESIDENT MAKES DECISION IN
RAILROAD WAGE CON-
TROVERSY.

WASHINGTON, February 16-
An "unalterable" decision in the
railroad wage controversy was made
by President Wilson in con-
ference at the White House with
representatives of the brotherhoods.
The President said the Governments
policy was biased on justice to all
interests
The Presidents decision was not
announced at the White House
Officials said it was "a decision con-
tanning a proposal. From this it
was assumed that the President had
refused TO grant general wage in
| creases, but had made counter
proposition to the men.
Secretary Tumulty declined to
say whether the President had re-
fused specifically the wage demands,
saying that every one wants to
settle the strike" and that the
brotherhood chiefs should have an
opportunity to consider the Presi-
dents suggestion or proposal with
out outside interference.
The Presidents statement that
the Governments policy was based
on justice to all interests is in line
with the final word presented to the
union leaders by Director General
Hines at the last conference with
them. Mr.. Hines was understood
to have told the men that with the
return of the roads to private con-
troll under the new railroad bill an
impartial tribunal for consideration
of their demands would be created.
1t is understood that he suggested
70 the president that if an increase
in pay were granted the men, the
freight rates, which would mean in
creased living costs.
When the railroad men greeted
the President they told him he was
looking very we'll.
81 have just been shaved said
the President. "That helps bit"
The President, sitting in his
| wheel chair in a corner Of the south
portico, wrapped in blanket,
shook hands with the men as
Secretary Tumulty presented them.
They stood up throughout the con-
ference with their overcoats on,
| but their hats in their hands. The
President pressed them to put their
! hats OH because of the dampnesS,
but they refused. After reading
i his statement, the President asked
them to give consideration to his
suggestion, and they promised to
do so.
The brotherhood men would not
say what the proposal was, Timothy
Shea acting president Of the Brother
hood of Firemen and Enginemen
announcing that they would make
no statement to-day.
B. NJ. Jewell, president Of the
railway department of the American
Federation of Labor, announced that
the Presidents proposal would have
to be '"put up to the men" before
any announcement sould be made
| by the union representatives..
Shea notified the other union Of
| fiicials, who have been comforting
with Hines, advising them to call a
conference to consider the Presi-
dents statement He indicated that
the conference would consume most
of the day, and might be continued
tomorrow. He said there was no
disposition on the part Of the union
men to act hastily and that they
desired to make a complete exam
ination Of the Presidents statement
before reaching decision. The
Presidents proposal, whatever 1t
was, was not expected to stay the
strike Of the maintenance of way
employees, called for next Tuesday.
