A Bootle gger's Paradise In The
 Bahamas

Nassau, the ancient and rath- CT prim town in the Bahama Islands, has become famous as the home port of mystery shipS," and smGgglers, an alco- holic boom town" where js gathered a collection of rum runners, pirates, and assorted tough citizens fit to grace the fiction of Stevenson, Bret Harte or o. Henry.
 On the city'S inadequate docks, runs the report, "in forty bonded warehouses. in private dWelling.houSes out of which citiz 4ns have been hurled, in hundred cellars once given owe to sisal, sponges and like native produce, in hotels that never were filled even in the brief E ohalna season, in caves that once sheltered pirates and their exaggerated loot, and on scattered units of this lonely British archipelago, is stacked between So OOU,O0O and S1O.OOO. GOO worth of hard liquor waiting to be whisked iuto the United states
 Goo1 whiskey is sold for Sl5 per cts9.

THE WRONG REMEDY

Every now and again we hear some minimizing person who is dis pleased with something the legis- lature has done-or because of something it has not done-declare that it is good thing the territorial legislature has no more powers than it now has. Occasionally we hear someone express regret that Con- gress ever gave the people legis- lature at all. The wish that the Der eridge bill, providing an appointive commission to legislate for and gov ern the territory, had become law, has been expressed.
 The men forget the generally ac- cepted principle that the cure for the ills arising under a democracy is the application of more democracy. What Alaska needs is not the abo- lition of the legislature, but a legis- lature with more powers. The great trouble with government. in Alaska is that the people do not take it seriously enough. If the legislature had greater powers there would be closer cooperation between the peo- pie and their representatives, and the representatives would devote more serious attention to construc- tive matters.

TO HAVE MILL
 IN NEW QUART DISTRICT

The steamer Alameda called at Douglas recently and loaded 102 tons of freight for the Treadwell company, to be taken to Seattle for re-shipment to the Kuskokwim river, for use at the new quartz properties of the company on Nixon Fork.
 Included in the shipment was the complete equipment for the install lation of a ten-stamp mill that is to be installed during the present season on the property.
 Active prospecting and develop ment work has been going on dur ing the past winter at Nixon Fork under the supervision of Superin- tendent Charles Horner. Engineer in Charge Livingstone Wernecke went into the district over the ice short ly before the breakup to take active charge of the extensive program for development work decided upon by the company, and busy summer is in prospect.

THE PRESIDENT AND ALASKA

In a letter addressed to Delegate Dan Sutherland, replying to an in vitation from the Alaska legislature to visit the territory, President Hard ing expressed himself as follows:
 "I want to acknowledge through you, the receipt of the resolutions adopted by the Legislature of the Territory of Alaska in which they extend to me a warm and cordial invitation to visit the Territory.
 q wish you would say to the House and Senate, in making reply, that I have it very much in mind to come to Alaska early in the Autumn, provided, of course, the circumstances are such that I can conveniently get away from Wash . ington for sufficient period to make such trip.
 ''I am deeply interested in Alas ka and have had, for half dozen years, cherished hope that I might have the opportunity of visiting the Territory. It has seemed to me that I might more intimately know the situation there and be more helpful in influencing the relations of the Federal Government if I could know the Territory and something of it's people and resources from per sonal visit. I am very certain that one of the earliest journeys 1 take when circumstances permit, will be to your wonderful land. I hope it will be possible in September this year. I cannot know, of course, at the present time whether the con- ditions then existing in Washington will justify my absence. I am grate- ful for the cordial expressions and hope an early day will afford me an opportunity to reply in person.
 ''I shall be glad, of course, if you will also express word of ap- preciation to Igloo No. 21, Pioneers of Alaska, for the cordial suggestion of a visit contained in a letter ad- dressed to you by that organization under date of April 13."

Thane mill, the wonder of the min ing industry, that crushed and ground the ore on such a magnifi- cant scale will all be taken out and scattered to the four corners of the earth, and the great Thane mill, whose lights have twinkled out over the Channel for years, will be but memory.
 Although there seems to be no hope for the Alaska Gastinau Min ing Company, and the mill and the Perseverance mine seem to be doom- ed, there is yet hope that a great industry-that of paper making will spring up in it's place to give employment to hundreds of men and to add much wealth to the people of the Channel and to Alaska as d whole.
 The course taken by the operat- ing company is one that has long been expected, but when the blow fell it was just as heavy as if it had never been mentioned or contem- plated.
 There is no use in dwelling on the dark side of the situation but, guid- ed by hope, look forward to the brighter side of the affair and hope for the best

ROAD COMMISSION OFFICIAL
 SAYS ROAD OPEN JULY

Capeain Ward, of the Alaska Road Commission, is authority for the statement that the Valdez end of the Richardson road will be open for travel by the first of July.
 The road through Keystone Kan yon, which has been several times damaged by high water, has been abandoned, and the road now runs high enough above the river to avoid any possible damage by the stream; and new bridges across Bear and Sheep creeks will make that section one of the most substantial along the whole highway.

" SAD NEWS

The news of the closing down of the great Alaska Gastinau Mining Company's operations on the Chan mel is perhaps the saddest piece of news that has been heard in Alaska in many years, says the editor of the Douglas Island News.
 That this great property, the en- gineering work upon which present ed some of the greatest problems ever undertaken in the mining pro- fession should have to cease opera tions is indeed deplorable.
 That the great system of tunnels that pierces the hills should be left idle and at the mercy of the cruel hand of decay and rust is unpleas. ant to contemplate.
 The miles of underground work ings, shafts, drifts, raises and cross cuts that have yielded up their mil lions of golden treasure will be lief! vacant, untenanted, soundless and abandoned, and will no more echo to the sound of the drill and the hammer.
 The miles upon miles of trans portation system that was used to bring the thousands of tons of ore to the mills each day will either be junked or become piles of rust

FISHING REPORTED GOOD
 ON NEARBY TROUT STREAM

weather prevailing, a small party of ardent Waltonites went out to Julius creek yesterday and report a most enjoyable outing. They re- turned to town shortly after nine o'clock last night with very credit able catch of greyling.
 Ed. Richardson, also known as the Colonel, and Baxter Felch, were the chechacos of the party, and were angling for the willy greyling for the first time in their lives. They were chaperoned by Bob Toussaint, of the Hudson Bays, veteran of the Julius creek fishing grounds. AS a consequence of their lack of familiarity with the surroundings, the boys were bit flustered during the initial stage of the days sport, but they caught on rapidly and finished strong. ."=.. The Colonel found it necessary 60 change his willow poles several times, the seventh proving equal to the emergency and allowing him to land his catch without losing so many as he had previously Baxter, ] fishing off the bridge, hooked the biggest fish seen during the day. Ills triumph, however, was brief, as he made the mistake of throwing the catch back into the creek instead of the fly, after unlocking.
 | Forty-two fine greyling was the sum total of the days sport ana the boys were for continuing all night, but as the shades of eve were falling fast" they decided that the lure of fishing on Julius creek did not fully compensate for the bangs of hunger which, by this time, had overtaken them, and the party backtracked for town and a good feed.
