OPPOSING CONSOLIDATION

Despite the fact that they have viewed AL aska at standstill since the Pinchot conser- yation craze became the order of the day there are certain newspapers of the territory when are opposing centralization of government To- cated in Alaska, and offering varied sugges- lions as to the cause of this condition. Among these is the question of transportation costs
 It is true that Alaska is paying too great a price for transportation, but this cannot be acclaimed as the primary cause of the exlst- ing condition. What about the days when to get to Alaska meant taking any kind of serv- ice that could be provided; when the pr1ce o1 beef was $1 per pound and other conlnool'les equal? It is true that there was gold Ill plenty for the lucky, and money III plenty tor those who had the means of taking it away from the ,,;,o s4a.s@
 With the passing of the shallow creeks ana the launching out upon new lines or 1ndus- try 1t was found that no machinery of govern ment has been evolved to meet the immediate needs of new set of pioneers. Prncspal among these needs was some short-range sys- tenn that would enable the man on the ground to get his requirements before government prepared to understand them and act quick ly. AS an illustration, it requires much eX- pense in telegrams to get a matter before the secretary of the interior, and each man has different problem. To adjudicate each and every one without some comprehensive set rule would require more secretaries than there are members of Congrss. To obviate this Con- eressman Curry proposes bill seeking to con- solidate the various bureaus into governing body located in Alaska, with powers to make rules and regulations calculated to serve the entire territory, and accessible to everyone who has an immediate problem. The only question at issue in Washington is the veto power. w"
 How anyone can consider the present sys- tenn superior to the one proposed by the con- solidation bill is enigmatical unless they are influenced by desire to profit by the bureau system-Anchorag Times.

THE DOG IN THE NoRTHLAND

Consider the dog. In the Northland from Boring Sea to Hudson Bay, he has continued through many years to hold undisputed the first place as companion and servant to the daring men who are exploiting and develop ing this great Northland. Scarcely a trail in Yukon, Alaska, Mackenzie and the vast en- pife north of the sixtieth parallel has not been broken in winter by this faithful beast in his unflinching task in the harness or pressed by his paws as an escort to men who fare forth in the wilderness in summer.
 The dog was found peculiarly adapted to this region and for certain services no other animal ever has been found half so valuable The dog promises to hold this unique position in the Arctic and the sub Arctic, and the in- trodnction of the best breeds and the en couragement of excellence in dogs suited to the trail is no small matter ir the econ@'ly of the Northland. Tho great stampede to tl@ Klondike brought the dog prominently to the attention of the world in this port of the coun- try and since then the famous dog derbys of Nome and Hudson Bay have had tendency to promote the selection and breeding of the best of dogs for these regions. Many years back the Hudson Bay and other early traders,
 
 dog in the malamute and the husky, and since then not a few other breeds have proved like wise invaluable in their services to the trader, the trapper, the prospector and the traveller
 :n general In all llSehool the dog will contin- ne to tighten his shoulder against the collar in services to man in the Arctic for generations and it will be well to encourage the breeding and maintenance of the best strains in every portion of the North.
 The dog deserves consideration for sentl- mental reasons as we'll as purposes of service. What lone prospector or other Northland em- pire builder has not felt life more endeared and made worth while because of his never failing friend-the dog? What devotion is comparable to that of dog? With children in the north, life loses half its joys without a dog for play and service. All toys and amuse ments fail in comparison in holding the af- lection of the young and few creatures will inspire in the boy or girl deeper sense of loyalty and friendship and heart of kind ness and consideration. It has been said, "It a man die, shall he live again?" Some have said as much of dogs whose faithfulness ex~ iceeds that of some men-Dawson News

has branch establishments in the territory the managers of which have no authority what ever except to collect and remit the big profits that the barons my bask in the sunshine of the sunny south. Some of these don't even do the north the courtsey of retaining bank ac count, of contributingl to public subscrip- tions, or of otherwise showing the spirit that is demonstrated by the good old pioneers who have every thing they possess in the world tied up right in Alaska.
 The sooner people in Alaska learn to patron ize home institutions which are working and aiding in the upbuilding of the country the better it will be for Alaska and the more perm. ament will be it's population. There are too many who have no permanent real estate or other interests which will hold them to the countrv.-Ketchikan Chronicle.

IRELAND AND ALASKA

For centuries, Ireland has been seeking free dom, a separation from England and the Brit ish empire and particularly from the system of absentee landlords. In this, Alaska has a greater cause for bond of sympathy than IS generally known and unless the people of the North take good care they will have much more cause for complaint
 History of towns in Alaska that have ris- en and fallen show that the "absentee land lord'' to large extent has been responsible for the fall, and while the picking was good cleaned the residents of their substance. Right in Ketchikan and surrounding districts, and all over Southeastern Alaska, this same situation is true.
 First and foremost, of course, are the men who own and operate canneries in the north but reside in the territory only during the short fishing season, who rub shoulders with us and pat us on the back, but leave little and take much. They are not of the same class as the men of Alaska who are interested in can neries and spend the year in the territory, looking after their fisheries and other interests buying their merchandise and supplies of all kinds from the merchants
 Then there is the class of corporation which

ENGINEER HURT BY
FUSEE EXPLOSION
About Face and Hands and May
Lose Sight of One Eye.

Philip ST. Marie of Springfield. Mass.
an engineer on extra n0rthbound Boston
& Maine freight No. 2609. may lose the
sight of his left eye. besides being pain
fully burned about the face and hands
as the result of a fusee explosion at the
TOundhOuSe here yesterday afternoon,
the powder striking him in the face.
Engineer st. Marie had stopped his
freight at the round house to give needed
attention to the locomotive. One of the
main driving rods was running hot, and
st. Marie removed the nut from the top
of the vacuum cup which furnishes
grease and oil to the moving parts of
the rod where it connects with the driv
ing wheels. He then packed the cup
with grease and powder from a fusee,
this powder having the peculiar property
of cooling the iron parts. and while re-
placing the nut in its position the chem
icaI exploded. driving bits of powder
into his face and hands, the bulk of the
powder lodging directly under his left
eye.
The engineer was taken to the office of
DR.. II. p. Greene, where his injuries
were attended to, and he was taken to
his home in Springfield at 4.33. 1t was
impossible to tell yesterday whether he
would lose the sight of his eye, as deTel-
opments must be awaited
The freight was taken on TO Wmte

WASHINGTON, Sept 2O-After a
presidential veto the soldiers bonus bill
was to be started today on second voy-
age through congress. Favorable action
by the house was looked for generally,
but friends of the measure doubted that
they could muster in the senate the two
thirds majority necessary TO override
the veto. The time of senate action was
indefinite.
In his message to the house President
Harding based his veto of the bonus
largely on the ground of the failure Of
congress to provide a method of financing
it,
Mr. Harding set forth a number of
reasons for returning the bill to the
house without his approval These in
GUIDED:
Failure of congress to provide a means

That inevitably the bonus would mean
increased taxation.
That the legislation would wipe out
