ALAsKA's OUTLOOK ENCOURAGING

The year just ended in Alaska produced the approximate total of $70000,000, as the value of it's commerce. The total is made up of the value of machinery, equipment and all manner of supplies sent north from Seattle with the total value of gold mined, copper sent to Ia coma, fish moved from the territory to Seattle, San Francisco Bellingham and various other ports and all miscellaneous products. The outlook for 1922 is for the total to reach $1OO,OOO,OOO and the situation is fairly encour- aging Copper is advancing in price which will mean more ore mined. Labor and sup plies are decreasing in cost which means an increase in certain gold placer fields. The old stock of salmon has been cleaned up and the 1921 pack will be disposed of early in the summer so this will give a clean slate for those engaged in the salmon packing industry. It might not be out of place at this time to sound a friendly note of warning to the salmon pack CTS to beware of the danger of bringing about next year repetition of the overstocked mar ket of the last two or three years The num- Der of fish packed should be limited and the reckless financing or establishing of new can- ne1ies should be discouraged. The cannely men are to be congratulated for the manner in which they have extricated themselves from the difficulties of the past two years, but that record should be ever present to serve as a reminder against the ruthless over fishing ot Alaskan waters. The costly government rail road has been finished and now it is up to the government to find some traffic for the road to haul It is not to be expected that any of the bureaucrats in Washington will accept any advice as to the future operation of that railroad upon practical and economic lines, but for all that there is method whereby the road can be operated to the best possible ad- vantage of the people along the tributary territory and with the least possible expense, and it is sincerely hoped that the government officials at Washington will adopt such a method whereby for the next ten years the appropriation required for operating the road will be greatly reduced. At the present writ ing the completion of the railroad has little to do with the estimated increase in Alaskan commerce for this year. If, however, some great bonanza is discovered, on the surface, near that railroad, the entire situation will be changed and it will immediately play it's part in adding to the total trade.-Railway and Marine News. ..

NOT LIKE ARTICLE X

The attempt by friends of the Geneva League of Nations to show that Article II of the Four-Power Pacific Treaty is the equiva- lent of Article X of the League Covenant is bound to fail. The two articles are entirely unlike
 The New York Times says that the new article is "a clumsy paraphrase of the sec ond sentence of the Versailles pedge.'' Let us see.
 This is Article X of Mr. Wilson's Covenant:
 "'The members of the League under
 take to respect and preserve as against
 external aggression the territorial in
 tegrity and existing political independ
 ence of all members of the League. In
 case of any such aggression, or in any
 case of any threat of danger of such az
 gression, the Council shall advise upon
 the means by which this obligation shall
 be fulfilled.'
 Here we have definite, all-inclusive pledge. Every existing boundary of the member-na- tions of the league is to be safeguarded, if need be, by league action. All the combined force of the nations composing the league may, in time of stress, be marshalled to preserve the borders of the remotest member country. Under this provision, we might see vast army summoned by the super government in Switzerland to oust an invader from Montene- gro Liberia or Lithuania. Mr. Wilson him self said that behind the Versailles agreement was force; that was, indeed, the backbone Of the cherished covenant.
 In the second sentence of Article X to which the Times refers, the Supreme Council is di- rected to advice as to what means shall be employed to fulfill the obligation undertaken in the first sentence-namey, to preserve the territorial integrity and existing political independence of any member-natlon that has been attacked from outside This is very dlf- ferent from Article II of the Pacific Agree ment, which merely provides that in case the rights of any of the four powers signato1y to the agreement are threatened by external az gression, ''the high contracting powers shall communicate with one another fully and frank lv in order to arrive at an understanding as to the most efficient measure to be taken, jointly separately, to meet the eXlgencles or the particular situation
 In this Pacific treaty there is no pledge that force shall be used. Nothing is said or necessarily implied as to any nations gong to war for the preservation of the status quo. Accordingly, there is nothing in the treaty that antagonizes the provision of the United States Constitution that Congress shall have the sole power to declare war.
 Thus it will be seen that instead of being "clumsy paraphrase of the second sentence of Article X of the Covenant" " Article Il of the Pacific Agreement skilfully avoids the fatal error in which Mr. Wilson sought to en- tangle us at Paris.-Providence Journal.

Quaint Custom.

A quaint custom is still maintained
in one of the old streets off the Strand,
the London Times reports. This is the
burning Of light in the hall of one of
the hogses all through the night when
everybody is abed. This light has a
history. and marks an ancient privilege
and bygOne right-Of-way. The light is
maintained by the Westminster council
and not by the tenants Of the house.
The Iamp-lighter enters at twilight and
kindles the light, and on his round in
the early morning he re-enters with a
latchkey and extinguiShes it. The light
is the remaining symbol Of a right-of'
way formerly enjoyed ny residents in
the street to proceed to a spring Of
water In the basement, which was ooce
their sole water supply.
