venture and accomplishment, from
their latest expedition which had for

schooner "Bowdoin." the smallest

sailed over approximately 5000 miles

ship and had remained frozen in the
| ice for 274 consecutive days. There
/ were three narrow escapes from des-,
truction. She sailed for 60 miles
over what had hitherto been thought
to be dry land fifteen miles from the
sea. The whole geography of the
| West coast OF Baffin Land was cor

of the expedition discovered the

Many hundred photographs were

cover various episodes in Eskimo
life, hunting, sledging, igloo build
ing, ETC., including the actual spear
ing of walrus, the capture OF a
polar BEAR and views of a bear and
her cub swimming for long time in

NEW COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS

From political standpoint, and in accord ance with the usual custom throughout the country the appointment of John c. Mcbride to be Collector of Customs was very appropr- ate. The Empire believes that appointments to technical positions, such as the Collectorship of Customs, should be filled by men who have had the experience necessary to give them technical knowledge concerning the duties of the office. That opinion was expressed by the present Collector of Customs in the fall of 1919 when called upon to answer a ques- tionnaire which, among other things, asked for suggestions regarding the Improvement of the Customs Service. However,, that has not been the custom generally speaking, ill the United States The Collectorshps of the var- ons ports have not been taken out of politics. Some day they will be removed and so will many other positions which go as prizes in a spells system that has out-lived its usefulness, if indeed it ever served any useful purpose.
 Mr. McBrde's appointment in accord ance with the standards that long have been in vogue, and, in accordance with those stand ards, it was otherwise fitting, because Mr. Me Bride is and for many years has been prom inent citizen of Alaska, possessing ability and character which justly entitle him to his stand ing. His interests are all Alaskan, he is loyal to the Territory in every respect, and is a very public spirited citizen of high type.
 When Mr. Mcbride takes office he will find himself at the head of one of the best organ izations in the public service anywhere. The personnel of the service is of the highest order. There is not a weak spot in an important place, if at all, anywhere in the service. Those in charge of the work at headquarters and at all the important supports are men of excellent ability wide experience and fine loyalty to the service and their country All of them have devoted many years to the service and are intimately acquainted with the technical details of it and with conditions in Alaska Juneau Empire.
The Cordova daily times., 1922-01-09
ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK

The optimism of Mir. Stannard as to the cop per situation and his statement that the Ken necott properties will be set to working at full capacity in the spring is encouraging. It will mean good times at Cordova, the Copper River towns and Prince William Sound to have the properties of this company manned with full crews, and if the copper situation should continue to improve, Mr. Stannard expects, there will be improvement in many sections of the North. It will mean more money for prospecting and development, and increased activity in many lines
 The Alaska outlook is promising for this year. Not only will there be improvement among those engaged in copper mining, but there is every indication that there. will be vast improvement in the fishing industry. That more salmon canneries will operate this year than operated last year there is no doubt. It also is apparent that there will be greatly increased activity in the herring fisheries. The large demand for herring at the present time and the marked rise in the price guarantees that there will be more men employed III that line this year than ever before There are, too, indications that the coming season will see additions to the number of shell-ish can neries in the Territory, both i'll Southeast Alaska and to the Westward.
 That there will be progress in the develop ment of the pulp and paper resources of Alaska is known. It might be that the devel- opment will reach a very active stage.
 All things considered, there is much in the situation at the present time to encourage the people of this Territory.-Juneau Empire.

LOOK OUT FOR, MORE PROPAGANDA

No doubt our readers have heard of a recent hullabaloo in New York against our modern American histories written by some very able American college professors.
 Don't worry over it, folks. It's all propa- ganda. The earmarks of propaganda are all over it. ,.,
 New York is the home of propaganda; you may be sure that when bunch of fellows anywhere in the United States get ready to spring some doctrine or scheme on us simple folk, they start in New York with huge clouds of smoke by day and lots of fireworks in big hall at night
 People of common sense who think, know that the farther time moves away from some historical event, the more truthful most the histories of that event become. That is be- cause prejudices die win the generations that were intimately concerned with the event. It is now about 140 years since the American revolution was fought and it is pretty safe to say that histories written by American scholars in the last quarter of a century are more truthful than those that went before and which propagandists would now like to foist on us again.
 It is also enough to say that the Daughters of the Revolution approve the histories at tackled.
 If you can't be original be natural-there is hardly anything original as that.
