THE WOMAN IN THE SHADOW

A WOMAN kills man and is en- Enthusiastically acquitted by susceptl- ble jury. Another woman the widow of the vcitim, is left penniless and help less. The jury never thought Of that result. Still another widow also made so by the shooting of her husband at the hands of the feminine "avenger, kills herself in. despair, believing In the light of the verdict in the first case that justice is not to be looked for where a woman is the defendant. The jury never thought of that, either, as logical possibility and sequal to their finding. In fact, it may be doubted whether they thought Of anything or were capable of thinking in the real sense of the word. They just sat there and gazed tearfully att the picturesque prisoner and let their hypnotized mind sozZle in a tepid bath of Slushy sen1- mentality. The words of the suicide in dict them: All she will have to do is plead temporary insanity and the jury will free her Juries believe anything so long as it isn't in their families" :" Perhaps it is possible to secure twelve males to try a feminine slayer who will be guided by law and facts, not by emotion and hysteria. But the chances are always against it under the present system. The average man is too concerned with the accused wo- man in the foreground to consider the innocent women in the background of ,he tragedy. Thus murder is made sate-American Legion.

Subscription, SIPS per Month

EVERY once in a while telegraphlc dispatches comment upon the fact that the price of living has gone down, and the tired householder figures up his monthly bills and expresses indigna- tion over the fact that they are as high as the month before. But living has greatly depreciated, as is apparent by prices in Seward today. One can buy more meat here for one dollar than could be secured in Valdez last fall for three dollars; coal here is but $12 per ton while in Valdez one pays SIS for an inferior article and a smaller ton. Butter, eggs and other staples are from five to ten cents cheaper than they were last winter and clothing has dropped until one can get the best suit in town for from S35 to $40. To- baccos are greatly reduced, and shoes are about half what thew were in Sew ard a year ar so ago. Rents are higher here than in many other towns on ac- count of better houses and greater demand There are few houses empty in Seward today

IF ALASKA SHOULD BE DIVIDED

If Alaska is going to be cut in two the development of the Territory seems to suggest that the proper line of division should be that which sep arates the country naturally tributary to the Alaska Railroad on the one hand and the Copper River and Northwest ern Railroad and the coast end of the Richardson Highway on the other hand. Lines of trade and communica- tion in Alaska lead toward the Outside There is more travel and traffic be- tween Cordova and Prince William Sound and South Eastern Alaska than between those places and the country that lies west of them. With the Alas ka Railway in operation that will ap- ply further. The Copper River country will be in closer communication and acquaintance with Southeastern Alas ka than with the Panama and Yukon Valleys, and the line of communica- tion between that portion of the Yu- kon valley in the vicinity of Eagle and the Fortymile district lead up stream and to Southeastern Alaska, rather than to the Alaska Railroad.
 Therefore if Alaska shoud lbe divid- ed it should be alon gthe lines sug- gested. We could have East Alaska and West Alaska East Alaska cOuld start with three or four counties-with County Seats at Ketchikan, Juneau Cordova, and perhaps Eagle. Later, as the country developed, more counties could be created.
 If Alaska is to be divided such di vision at that outlined here would give

GoLD-BEARING ORE FOUND
 NEAR PETERSBURG

A reef of gold-bearing ore several hundred feet in width and over five miles in length which runs from four to twelve dollars in values on the sur- face has been discovered at Muddy river by Martin Dahl and John Loseth
 The ledge lays along the water and extends from Horn Cliff in a norther- ly direction. The discovery was made accidentally by Martin Dahl last fall md samples were sent to uJneau for assay The returns showed that good values could be secured and the active prospecting was continued throughout the winter The ledge has been traced for over five miles and extends clear to Point Agassiz, the exact width not being known as yet.
 When seen recently, MT. Dahl stat ed that he is confident the discovery will mean a great deal to this section, as the assay returns from samples sent out are very encouraging The ledge has been located and recorded and prospecting will be continued un- til it's value is proven.-Petersburg Re- port.
