THE COURT SESSION

Grinding continually since May 16, the ses sion of the United States district court will come to an end within few days, all matters having been virtually disposed of, with only one more criminal and one more civil matter up for trial. The net result has been the ex- penditure of $75,000 of Uncle Sam's money and the conviction of seven persons on mis- dcmeanor charges.
 These facts, if no others, would demand the immediate removal from office of United States Attorney James A. Smiser, on a charge of incompetence. And it is to be hoped that when he is replaced that his successor will not make police court out of the United States district court, or that if he attempts it that the grand jury will shut him off in his ambitious rettiness.
 In the Third division of Alaska, with far less show they have handled matters better There these misdemeanOr cases were started in the commissioners courts where they should have been started. If the jury turned a defendant loose, that ended it, without great expense to the government If the defendant was convicted he was sentenced. He either then took his medicine or appealed If he appealed and was again found guilty in the higher court he was then given good, stiff sentence. Thereby appeals needless appeals, were reduced materially. It was the proper way.-Kechikan Chronicle

CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME
 IN AMERICA!

Human phychology is a queer thing.
 If a great flood tornado devastated an American city of 100000 thoroughly that 100000 of the victims were stricken down while all were starving or on the verge of 1t, what would happen?
 The map of the whole country would be dotted with train loads of provisions headed for that wrecked city, and ahead of them would be swift passenger trains filled with doctors, nurses and medical supplies. Con gress, every state legislature and governor, every mayor and common council, would be wild with excitement and desire to do some thing substantial speedily.
 But who is doing anything particular
 at this time for the 100000 starving peo-
 pie scattered through the farming dis
 tricts of our southern states? Who are ~ the doctors and nurses hastening to the
 side of the hundred thousand of that
 number who are stricken with pellagra,
 the dreadful disease that is caused by
 eating poor, insufficient food?
 ''Cotton is king' in the south, but it has been sad kind for a year or more. The small farmer was long ago lattened out, penniess and unable to buy food, let alone clothing. The result has been that their families have fed mostly on corn, and much of it bad corn. That means peIIagra.
 Another winter is coming on. Winter is not often severe in the south, but it is severe enough on people who are under-nourishcd or already sick unto death. And unless help comes soon many more thousands of poverty stricken people who have been living on corn alone will be down with the Ieprous peIIagra.
 There may be poverty and starvation in Russia. But before we repeat our BeIgum act of benevolence in Europe, let us look to ihe state of our neighborS. For years we have lo'n pouring our money and our charity across the Atlantic. Let's now pour what we can this summer and the coming fall and winter into the stricken country homes of our southland.

Butterflies Battle Daily on Grounds

A NEW RAILWAY SYSTEM

As the time for closing the gap on the government railways draws nearer, it is ap- propriate to appreciate the government un- dertaking Most people in the north have all along been comparing the government project with the Copper River X Northwestern or the White Pass lines. These we believe are in miles approximately 192 and no, respectively One serves the best copper mine in the world and the other, narrow gauge, was built to make the great placer camp at Dawson ac- cessible. -J-rs-s si,sIs .a l-,,-,x.r 4,-..~
 The government railway from Seward to Fairbanks, with its connecting lines, the coal railway from Matanuska to Chickaloon and the Panama valley line from Fairbanks to the different placer creeks and mining camps, makes this project entirely different from the ones above mentioned In the first place when the line is tied together the system will contain something like six hundred miles of track. Dozens of established places and min ing camps, such as Seward, the Turnagain arm placer country, Cook inlet, the coal fields of the Matanuska, the Willow creek quartz district, the extensive placer grounds on Cache creek, the Kantishna and the whole

 AMERlCUS. Ga, Aug. 22. The American Legion has fouud the bit of sculpture which its national memorial committee declares accomplishes its highest aim. Within a short time this work of a Georgia artist will be standing at Centralia, Wash, which was the scene of bloody Armistice day fighting between heroes of the World war and I. W. W. A large rep lica of the original will be placed in a prominent public place at Centralia Smaller statues of the work of art are being widely distributed.
 The scultor is k, M. Viquesney, of Americus, who produced the model after two years work.
 The figure is that of a helmeted in fantryman in heavy equipment and with rifle with bayonet fixed in his hand. In the other hand he holds aloft a hand grenade. He is ripping through wire entanglements. From his neck hangs his gas mask ready for use
 The strain and excitement of the advance are shown vividly in the drawn face and open mouth.

Panama valley, one of the greatest wealth producers of Alaska, will be part of the Alaska railroad system.
 Measure up six hundred miles anywhere on the map of the United States, and you will get a comparative idea of distances and the magnitude of the great Alaska railroad.
 This government railway project should be compared to the larger systems, like the Soo line, the Burlington, the original Pepnsyl- vania or the Erie--Anchorag Times. ,...

Rified Oil Pipes.

The principle of the rified gun is
applied to pipes for pumping oil. The
crude oil of California is mostly thick,
viscous and difficult to pump through
long lines. Heating cannot be sue
cessfully applied to a long pipe, and
mixing with water results in an emul-
sion from which the oil cannot be
readily separated. The best means of
dealing with these viscous oils is by
means Of a pipe rified on the inside.
so that the oil, mixed with about 10
per cent of water, is caused to whirl
rapidly. The water, being heavier than
the Oil, seeks the outside and forms a
thin film, which lubricates the pipe
for the passage of the oil. The friction
is thus so far reduced that the oil has
been pumped easily through a line
thirty-one miles long. The water and
the oil come out entirely separate at
the end of the line.

HAS MANY IMPORTED TREES
to Possess Such Variety as
Does England.

The Portuguese boast of their forest
at Basaco,- where there are over two
hundred kinds of imported trees in full
and gigantic growth. But there is no
other country in the whole world
where so many varieties of imported
trees flourish as in the British isles,
and Kew has specimens of nearly all
of them Not only original, or, rather,
natural varieties are to be seen at
Kew, but others which owe their being
to the cunning of man. The latter are
graft-hybrids of extraordinary interest.
In the year 1926 a French gardener
grated purple-fiowered cytisus on a
laburnum stock. A branch developed,
which produced flowers intermediate
between the stock and the scion. You
can see a specimen of this hybrid
among the laburnums. 1t bears not
only the hybrid flowers but also flow
ers and leaves characteristic of both
it's parents. The Laburnum Adami is
it's name. In another case union be-
tween the common thorn and the
medlar has produced similar strange
result Three separate types of
branch, flower, and fruit are to be
seen on the same bush. = Montreal
