Better Days for Alaska.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer.)

Alaska. tangled for years, and it's growth and progress hndered by the control of eight ten different government bureaus, has excellent pros ipect of getting away from its complicated system of government under the friendly auspices of administration and Congress familiar with Alaska s needs.
 Gov. Bone of the great territory, who commenced his fight for centralized Alaskan government while he was the editor of this newspaper is in position to make his efforts count with greater ef feet through his official position and familiarity with the Territory's needs. He is his way to the national capital and every friend of Alaska will hope to hear of the accomplishment of his aims
 There are many reasons why 1922 should register the beginning of better days for Alaska Congress is shaping to centralize it's government new gov ernment railroad will shortly begin operation from Seward to Fairbanks; coal from the Matanuska and other mines is beginning to be shipped quantities. the first consignment due in Seattle; and most hopeful of good results of al President Harding has promised to visit the Territory during the year.
 Gov. Bone himself a resumption of industry and of business in all parts of the Territory and notes the increasing school enumeration and the building of homes. Every prospect is thus for good year in Alaska and the beginning of period of new settlement and progress to continue indefinitely in the future

What of the Future of City and District?
{ (Prince Rupert News. ]

What of the future of Prince Rupert and district The future is full of hope. Residents of the city have faith in themselves and in their city Speak ing generally, there is more optimism here to the
 square yard than there has been since the first boom broke. What we have now is built on solid devel- opment and except for the holding of vacant lots there is little indication that local people are looking to the future for everything They are living for today we'll for tomorrow.
 The district around this city is in for a period of real development but there always local set packs What looks like a fourishng industry often talls to make good and have look elsewhere TOT our evidence of progress. Mines. which give good promise, fail; mills. which start out with good prospects. shut down; other developments do not bring results. That is the history of new districts We are not only new here but are a long way from the rest of the world. That in itself should stir us to strive the harder make good and to show the world that we are what We say are

GERMAN INDUSTRIES PROSPER.

In striking contrast to the reports of the impov- erishment of the German Government is the view advanced in the French Chamber of Deputies that the economic strength of the German nation grows with each passing day and that if the state itself is in ruins the nation enrches itself The French claim that the dividends of German corporations and the full activities of the factories the Rhine support their declaration of economic aug mentaton.
 In line with this argument is the first peace report of the world famous Krupps works which made. A Berlin analysis of that report appearing in Eastern publications recently declared:
 The topic of the moment is Krupp's first peace report, everywhere described as amazing document. Apart from the fact that 1t announces the first dividend for three years. it is of vital interest in that it n- dicates how rapidly German industrials adapting themselves to postwar conditions
 It seems but yesterday that Krupps universally known the worlds war fac tory. Already the transfer to peace produc- tion is complete. Naturally this has involved enormous expenditure but Krupp's have been able to meet taxes totaling 145,0000O0 marks when exchange value of the mark about 200 or 220 to the pound sterling. In other words, they have paid about f700- 900 in taxes alone That in itself might be reckoned achievement but the port shows the firm has also secured two of the largest German coal mines and opened up new factories for construction of locomo- tivess agricultural implements and textile machinery Essen has already produced its first spinning machine.

 At Intervals

Judge Newell H. Jennings today forwarded his finding as to the GUS tody of Dorothy Quinn, daughter of John Francis and Elizabeth G. Quinn lately divorced. Mrs. Quinn appeared before Judge Jennings recently asking for a divorce from her husband and the custody of two minor children. The divorce was granted.

Bags Opened An d Rifled Atty. Finds
Steiber Notifies Authori- ties of Loss - Father Grief Stricken Over Theft of Sons Memen- toes.

When Attorney Theodore Steiber, administrator of the estate of Christopher B. Yule, who met a tragic death with his wife in a Paris-London air plane crash, April 7 last, opened the valises in which French government officials sent the precious jewels, watches and 1 diamonds of the two victims of the crash, he found that they had been rifled and footed, and the valuable articles amounting to several thousand dollars were gone.
 Notified Customs Officers. MT. Steiber today communicated with United States Customs officials and notified them of the loss and pilfering of the bags supposed to con- lain the jewels. The valises were shipped here by French governm ent officials and attendants of the Ameri- can Embassy wso took charge of the remains of the Yules. When they arrived at New York they were open ed and examined by Customs officers, then shipped here by American Rail- way Express. Officials Of the ex- press company have also been notified or the lOSS-
 When they were shipped from France they were packed tightly in the bags and the bags were put in two wooden boxes which were nailed tight ly and sealed.
 YuIe's Father Present.
 Christopher B. Yule, Sr., father Of the dead young man, came here from California earlier in the week and was present today when Attorney Steiber made the startling find.
 Mir Steiber also made a report to Judge Paul Miller of the Probate Court, Judge Miller appointed Stei- Der administrator of the estate short ly after the death. He took charge of the entire estate and some weeks ago got into communication with the French government.
 Steiber believes that a, gang of in ternational jewel thieves may have footed the vaiises and placed the seals back in such a clever manner as to avoid deception. International police circles report a gang of such thieves operating on large liners ply ing between this country and France.
 Father GrieyeG.
 MT. Steiber does not believe that the bags were footed on the way from New York to this city. MT. Yule, Sr., was greatly grieved over the loss of the jewels as he prized them more than their value. He indicated to- day that he may have private detec- tivas institute a search.
 Most of the valuah'as had been giv- en the young coupl = : wedding pres ents. It was whI they were on to Paris that they met their tragic death. The airplane burst, into flames while in mid air and all aboard were lost.
