WHAT AILS ALASKA?

John L. Ballaine, a former resident of Seward, in an article published II the Seattle P. l. few days ago, lays the dwindling population of Alaska tC excessive freight rates. While MT Bal laine's arguments are clever, and ht makes many points in his statement Alaskans can hardly agree with Mrs Ballaine in his surmises. Freight rates ] from Seattle to Alaska are cheapel than rates in many localities with 2 hundred times the population Alaska has. The base rate from Seattle t. Seward is about $13.50 per ton, which is not excessive when one considers the cost of operating two-thousanf ton steamships two thousand miles or more. There is no merchant in Alaska who pays out more than a small pei cent of his profits on freight. Over head local charges are vastly g3eatel than transportation charges, and yet we hear little kicking about them.
 We believe the chief trouble witt Alaska today is lack of industries to support larger population. With nc exceptions the payrolls in Alaska towns are limited to a few utilities and clerical positions. The mines employ many men, but these men are mostly foreigners who send the bulk of their earnings to the old country, or save it until a sufficient sum is ammassed to allow them to return home to live.

NO PROTECTION

WHILE the newspapers of the Terri tory have sent half-hundred men to the territorial legislature, who have made several thousand laws for the protection of our citizens and the glorification of the legislator, not one law has ever been made to protect the newspapers. There is no legal status provided for a newspaper, no legal def milton of what constitutes a news paper, and no legal rates established for printing sundry matters. As the laws stand any man with a bunch of type and handpress can jump into an established field and take away the legal publications of any news paper, and when he has made cleanup go to another field. There are many states where a paper must be of general cir
 culation, and established one year be-

 industries. The timber is conserve until the Territory is a vast forest re serve; water power is conserved; everything is being conserved for Ffu- ture generations save the fish and this is being rapidly depleted. The timber covering the hills and valleys of Alaska has long reached its growth and must eventually die if not used The water power rushing down the mountains since the beginning of time is not being utilized and is great economic waste. Mountains of coal are conserved, while Alaskans pay high price for British Columbia coal. Our oil lands are as yet undeveloped and of unknown quantity, but it is sale to say any unusual production will be curtailed to a point where it will not compete with the wells in the states,
 All of these evils are brought about by beaucratic control of our resources, from a point many thousand miles lway. Alaska has no control over fish, owl. or fur nor has 1t any remedy for the spoliation of it's waters by out side capital. It's representative in con gress ,is stifled, having no vote; our .egilature cannot make laws which nav touch upon acts of congress, and our officials are appointed from Wash ngton. without regard for fitness, oth- CT than their political pull. The last evil is the least, as Alaska has been fortunate in securing able men to han He territorial affairs.
 If the resources of Alaska were thrown open to bonafide residents, giving each settler a share of the oil coal, waterpower and timber there would still be homes for millions of people-a happy, independent, health iul people-who would return to the government it's investment thousand fold. Freight rates can be easily adjust ed by Alaskans; but the bureaucracy evil can only be annulled at Washing ton; and it's hold cannot be shaken.

HOPE DEFERRED
advancement.

Hope is said to spring eternal in the human breast, but those of us who nave been here for any lengthy period nave done so much Springing our ,oints are stiffening. Since the decad- ent days of 1916, when Alaska started slowly expiring her real residents, the tering pulse and feeble breath grow weaker, and many of them are now planning the obsequies. Unless a man can really and truly say he loves Al aska for it's independence, it's fine air, it's scenery, its mountains and it's hills, there is no chance to retain him as a permanent resident without he can secure sufficient of the coin Shakes peare calls trash to pay him for what time spent away from the slippery hills of Seattle or the moonshine of California The reward must be ample.
 The real sourdough remains in Alaska because it is his home; his illahee; the place where he finds surCeaSe of sorrow and time for mediation. You could not pry him away from the ter ritory unless a stampede started in some out-of-the- way place, and then he would be comparing it's advantag as to Alaska, with the new place in the minority. Living is safe and sure in Alaska; it's costs little to get a small cabin, and the cupboard is filled by d bountiful providence who places fish in the streams, berries and fur and game in the hills, and a growing eli mate in the valleys.
 But the oldtimer wants something more definite in his old age than q seat in the Home for Pioneers, anG to get this must be allowed to utilizC the resources of the territory. To the bureaucrats at Washington this is { sacrilege No hands must profane the timber, the streams, the coal deposits or the oil. These are taboo. The great chief has proclaimed it and it is so The fish can be exterminated because the fish lobby is all powerful and must be obeyed; but Alaskans are deprived of making living from the fish. Sup plies, employees, and gear are brought from the states, and after nasty sea son of lawlesness the men return tc Seattle, the launches and boats are laid up in the territory to ecape taxa tion in the states, and we hibernate un til the next salmon run.
 In time Moses will be born to lead us out of the wilderness, but until this time comes the children of Alaska must labor even as those of Israel, without hope, without recompense, and without escape. But with all our drawbacks and legislation we will re main faithful to the end, sure of a good living and a place in the Pioneer Home in the end.

following a private conference this
afternoon between Prime Minister
Lloyd George of Great Britain, DR..
Joseph Wirth, the German chancellor

Italian spokesman after the confer

While their conversations had not
yet been finished and no definite
agreement had vet been reached, said
the Italian spokesman, the Allies now
aimed to avoid continuation of dis
cussion through the exchange of
notes. and were therefore trying TO
reach an accord without the neces-
sity for Germany to answer the allied
protest with formal note.
According to an English spokes-
man, the conversation at Prime Min
lister Lloyd Georges villa concluded
by Mr.. Lloyd George saying:
There are only two alternates for
the Germans-either to withdraw the
Russo-German treaty or to withdraw
themselves from the commission dis
cussing Russian affairs, 1 do not
wish either to humiliate Germany or
to inflict penalty upon her, but the
conference cannot allow the German
delegation to continue to participate
in discussion on Russia unless she

CROWD JEERS IN FRONT OF JAIL

New York, April ia demon
stration, typical OF his turbulent
Russia, greeted General Gregorie
Semenoff, Cossack chieftain, as he
left Ludlow street Jail this afternoon.
Released in $4,000 bail, furnish
ed by his friends. the Cossack alta
man, surrounded by detachment of
the police departments bomb squad,
appeared at the Jail door and cringed
into his coat collar as the jeers Of
thousands fell upon his ears.
Ludlow street was black with the
crowd, which had stood in a driving
rain for several hours awaiting
Semenoffs release. When his friends,
accompanied by the sheriff, hurried
into the building, carrying $4,000
in currency and 5000 in Liberty
bonds the crowd sent up howl and
moved closer to the entrance.
Extra details of police were or
dered to preserve order. Hundreds
of persons stood on the roofs of tene-
ments and hung on fire escape lad
ders. They were driven off by the
police, who feared bomb throwing.
Semcnoff, who has been called the
"stone heart" and accused of MUIR
dering American soldiers, betrayed
nervousness as he descended the
Jail steps. He kept close to his
guards and quickened his step
as the crowd. breaking through the
police line at one point, gathered
around a taxicab at the SURFING.

Genoa, April 19.-By A P)-Tho
German delegates and experts have
not vet been able to find a formula
whereby to compromise with the en-
Russo German treaty, although they
were in session at very late hour
tonight. Efforts are being made to
have the conference formulate Rus
sian policy in which the Russo Ger
man treaty can be absorbed. thus
giving it the stamp of conference ap-
prevail and removing the cause Of
hard feelings.
The plain language az Premier Lloyd
George 10 the German statesmen to-
day over the treaty incident, which
at one time threatened to disrupt the
economic conference, was believed to
have cleared the political atmosphere,
but as neither the German reply to
the Allies nor the Russian reply re-
carding acceptance OF the conditions
TO rthe restoration Of Russia was
forthcoming the situation is still con-
sidered critical.
Some Of the neutrals described the
Germans as embarrassed as to how
TO and a way out of the difficulty
Meantime the work OF the conference
is blocked. The neutral states have
officially insisted that the agenda of
the conference be discussed in the
commissions and not in private con-
versations among the chief delegates.
To this the leaders rejoin that pre-
liminary meetings are advisable in
order to expedite the labors of the
conference.
1t Is expected that once the Russo
German controversy is disposed Of,
the machinery Of the conference will
resume operations. The announcement
that J. P. Morgan will join the group
OF bankers to discuss the possibility
OF floating an international loan for
Germany has created an optimistic
feeling for the future finances OF Eu-
rope.
NJ. Barthou, of the French delega-
ton, tonight confirmed that Premier
Lloyd George had adopted a strong
attitude at today's meeting with the
German foreign minister, DR.. Rath-
enau. NJ. Barthou who is kept close
