New York now is reaping whirlwind
in transportation shortage, bankruptcies

Their Generalization and bankruptcy.
The situation has been a foreshadow
for several years, and, had prompt ac-
ton been taken. much that is now trans
piring could have been prevented. For
instance. the increase of the fare from D
10 cents would have saved the Inter
borough ard provided about S2O000,O00
annually, which is more than ample to
meet all fixed charges and outstanding
obligations. But, unfortunately for the
investors whose securities are threatened,
the Interborough operates under a pub
lie franchise which limits the rate of
fare to cents. 1t was on the agree
ment Of a Scent fare that the Inter
borough secured its operating contracts
over subways IN which the city of New
York has inv tested S125. 900. coo in their
construction and from which investment
the city IS paid a return of per cent
on only $45.000,0OO The city's claim for
return on the other sS0,0O0.0OO it has
invested comes after the Interborough's
bondholders.
Much IS being heard about the posi-
bility Of the city taking over the sub
ways for operation in case the Inter
borough collapses. This view is held by
Mayor Hylan. Nothing could be wider
Of the mark. The reason is that the
lease from the city has been pledged by
the company as security for the bonds
issued by the company. The course to
be followed is the event of default of in
terest is for the bondholders to fore
close and take over the lease and operate
the subways themselves, which they
probably will do.

At page 169, MT. Mcclure says.


 We stood at one point and count ed SS ewes and lambs They were peacefully feeding, or lying down, in punches of twos, threes and up to ten, with here and there a single sheep.
 "* # The very small prOpor- tionate number of lambs seen be- fore us (not nearly as many as of ewes) bore strong testimony to the terrible toll that eagles take of the young sheep. I mentally resolved at sight of this convincing evidence to begin new and amending warfare on these piratical birds. While their damage to sheep life is proverbial, even in the states, I don't believe any given area in Montana or Wy oming has one-tenth the number of eagles that is found in similar area in Alaska and Yukon Territory. They are to be seen almost continually oouAIAco oll cd6iCS Slouh uC pldCCu sufficiently high as to reduce their number below the present point of danger, to mountain sheep and other game. The present bounty on these birds in Alaska is only 50 cents it could be $5."
 Dr. Hornaday, in his very eulogistic introduction does not refer to MT. McGuire's conclusions regarding Alaska brown bear and eagles, but he praises MT. Mcclure and his book very highly. Whether or not he has arrived at the conclusions that his abuse of Alaskans for what he has called their desire to commer- cialize wild life in connection with their war on these predatory beasts and birds was erroneous only time will disclose. However, his apparent approval of MT. McGuire's attitude, and other indications that have ap- peared in print of recent months, would indicate that he is in process of changing his mind.
 However, MT. Mcclure, real western game hunter and lover of the outdoors, does not leave us in any doubt as to his position-Juneau Empire.

PREPARING FOR THE FOURTH

The different committees in charge of the Fourth of July celebration are already at work formulating their plans to make the event one of the biggest and best ever staged at Cor dova on Independence Day. It has been definitely settled that the Fort Liscum team will be here and bring a big bunch of boosters along, as the army boys have an exceptional ly strong nine and are still smarting under their defeats of last season. The Ladies Athletic Association meets tomorrow night when it will likely be decided what visiting team will contest with them for honors in volley ball game. There will also, be wrestling and boxing bouts, races of all kinds and variety of sports in which the children will participate. It is also aimed to make the parade one of the features of the day and the dance will prove a fitting windup to the celebration. Cordova invites all of it's neighbor- ing towns to join in making the event the banner one of this section of Alaska.

.STORK'S BIG GAIN
 OVER GRIM REAPER

1 Births in Cadron township, includ- 1 ing the city of Conway, outnumbered deaths in the ratio of almost two to one during the calendar year 1920 according to report compiled for the Log Cabin Democrat by Dr. J. s. Westerfeld, registrar and county health officer. There were reported during the year 228 births and 119 deaths, a net increase of population of 109.
 Of the births 162 were of white parentage and 66 colored. Boy ba- bies outnumbered girls by just four, the births including 116 males and 112 females.
 Of the 119 deaths 75 were white persons and A negroes. Fifty-three males and 66 females died during the year.
 Commenting upon the statistics Dr. Westerfield said: During the year IA persons died from pulmonary tuber- culosis, IA from pneumonia, eight HUH ISdIC OlScdScS, oCNCil from Bright's disease, seven from diarrhoeal troubles and six from inf1u- enza. It is interesting to note that practically one-half of all the deaths resulted from the six above named diseases. Tuberculosis claimed it's usual number of victims, about 12 per cent, the death rate from this disease being much higher among the negroes than among the whites"
 Vital statistics for the month ot December, 1920, in Cadron township including Conway, were also furnished the Log Cabin Democrat by Dr. West enfield. In that month births outnum- bered deaths exactly three to one, an unusually good record for the winter month. There were 15 births anC only five deaths in the township last month. Fourteeen babies were o1 white parentage and one negro. Cir babies numbered nine and boys six Of the five deaths, two were white and three negroes, four males ant one female.
