MAINTAIN THE SUPERIOR QUALITY

Mr. Beyer, one of Alaska $ largest herring packers and brokers says the superiority of Alaska herring has been established in the New York market. Likewise has the super iority of the American Pacific Coast salmon been acknowledged. Many experts believe that the superiority of Alaska salmon over that of Siberia, Russia and Japan is due to the fact that it is handled better in the packing.
 These things suggest the idea that it is up to those engaged in the fisheries industry of this Territory to maintain that supremacy. The fish should be properly graded and properly packed. There should be constant scientific experimentation for the purpose of further i'm proving methods. No effort should be spared to make the world understand that the best fish in the world is that which comes from Alaskan waters
 Here is work that the Bureau of Fisheries could prosecute with benefit to all concerned the producer and the consumer Alaska should lead the world in the quality of it's fish cries output as well as in the quantity.-Jun- eau Empire.

THE SKAGWAY SPIRIT

The spirit that possessed Skagwav when 1t sent the soul of Soapy Smit' rAtrlng down the corridors of time and cleaned up the town survives. It is the spirit of renovation and i'm Drovement. the spirit that makes the best ot whatever talents and opportunities there are the spirit of optimism, the spirit that sees rising ,Srn tomorrow and every day thereafter
 Nestlino among the deep-cleaved mountain barriers Skagwav grew up midst adversities incidental to the great Kondke rush, but, de- spite her handcaps, she has carried on more than quarter of a century, and the energetic little daily paper which she has maintained all these years under direction of its optimistic owner reflects how well the spirit of Skagway Dprseveres. It is refreshing to read in the "Alaskan" that Skagwav has set about ener- getically and maintained attractions in the vicinity of the town for the tourists; that it has formed an Alpine club which sees that its visitors do not fail to see the attractions about the town that they are shown the wonders of Lake Dewey; taken over to Euro Creek to catch trout; escorted out to Denver Glacier; introduced to old Dyea Pirate Cove, A. B.. Mountain and the other wonders confined within the bounds of its mountainous and sea served horizon.

SAFEGUARDING AGAINST VIOLENCE

A valuable object lesson in the conduct oil strikes has been afforded this past week by| the development in the railway strike sltua- lion Through the action of railway trainmen, who refused to take out trains from yards where armed guards were employed, many trains were stalled, passengers and freight marooned, and traffic generally was badly crinnled This action on the part of the tram men was taken because they considered 'he presence of the guards provocative of sltua- tions dangerous to their lives. Through COIL ferences promply held between the tralnmen and railway managers, agreements were reaci- ed. with the result that the guards were fe1hoV- ed and the men went back to work There nave been no reports of violence since then, ana trains are being operated without mlshap. The incident has been eloquent of the wisdom of peaceable measures. In the conduct ol strikes, on the part of either side of the d'H pute. which suggests violence, IS deploraDle and discreditable Unless one or the other party to the controversy has by some overt act civen cause for defensive measures, the nresence of arms and of armed men, always an infammatory situation, is dangerous and unnecessary. Unfortunately, precedent hereto fore has been given by both sides for the fear that violence may be resorted to. Strikes are rarely conducted without some instances of it. Suspicion and distrust are provocative of violent action All of which only goes to show that the presence of arms or other Wea- pons is a thing which neither side should countenance An argument that cannot be set- tied by discussion belong to the jurisdiction of the courts-bofore a violent act brings It there. Violence and outrage have never de- termined the right of anything, and no vic tory belongs to the side that resorts to It. Violence is the one thing most dreaded m every strike It is the one thing which neither side should provoke or countenance,

HALF-CASTE ORIENTALS
REPLACE WHITE TYPISTS

VANCOUVER, B. According to
husinf SIS men established in the orient
that part of the world is not now the
pan aalse for women stenographers it
once was Time was when steno-
graphic job in an office in the orient
was a sue source for a good income
and almost sure stepping stone to
welded bliss with prosperous mer-
chant, planter or agent.
Now things are changing. Half
caste girls, clever ana sumCIentIy d.
tlac..N- To auo.n IA office, are being
turned out Of Orit ntal business col
leges. They may not be as trust
worthy as white stenographers, yet
they are sufficiently skilled to do the
routine work.
AS they are accIimated and are will
ing and eager to work at a salary two
thirds less than would attract a white
stenopragher to the orient, they are
rapidly filling the offices.

BODY" THEORY
SQUELCHED BY DOCTORS

ROCHESTER,, Minn.-A theory that
while the physical body sleeps, an
"ether body" wanders the world over,
accommodating the stuff that dreams
are made Of, met with disfavor before
the Mississippi Valley Medical asso-
cations convention here.
DR.. w. Stuart Leech, Roseau, Mimi,
talking on "the pineal gland and the
condition of ego in Sleep" advanced
the theory that there are two distinct
bodies in every human being-one
physical and the other known as the
'ether body"
While the physical body sleeps, the
speaker said, the "ether body" slips
away for nocturnal prowl that may
even carry it to foreign lands, always
to return, however, before the physi-
cal body awakens."
Protests marked the conclusion of
his talk, and the convention unani-
mously ordered his address stricken
from the records.

THE FAITHFUL EARTH

Men sneered at the July weather,
but mems friend, the good old brown
earth, smiled over it. The reason is
made plain in the United States crop
forecasts:
Three billion bushels of corn-the
fourth larges. in the farming history
OF the United States.
An increase OF 100000 vushels OF
spring wheat.
A record crop of hay-33,OO 600
tons.
The second largest crop of white
potatoes ever grown.
Two bushels of apples for every
person in the United States.
The fourth largest tobacco crop.
Up in Canada the crop estimators
say that the production of all kinds
will far exceed last years harvest.
Even in Russia, where everything
else has gone to smash, Nature re-
fuses to turn bolshevik. The wheat
harvest, says Moscow, is more than
enough to feed the entire Russian
population for more than year.
1t is marvellous the way that this
planet, plagued by wars, strikes,
grafters, tax-eaters and common, or
garden, fools manages to sprout
enough food for the two billion.

TO TURN WHISKY INTO

An experiment intended to convert
five barrels of aged in the wood guar

roaring red liquor into meek man
nered favoring for tea cakes is being
conducted by the state department of

serted the state can manufacture the
nnest f1avoring extracts at about two
thirds the market prices.
The process is simple, the chemists
say The alcohol is distilled and
poured into a vat. Ground Mexican
vanilla beans are added and the mix
ture is allowed to stand. Vanilla ex-
tract is the result. For lemon ex-
tract Italian lemon oil is added to the
alcohol The whiskey was seized by
state police two years ago and since
has been guarded behind steel doors.

it will be passed. He expects the bill

The Bursum bill is designed to meet
meet the needs of veterans of ad-

BARBERRIES FOUND IN
Is WISCONSIN COUNTIES

Federal and state scouts have found
3,351,575 common barberry bushes in
Wisconsin in the last five years. OF
this number 2,7S4,63S have been re-
moved. The difference is accounted
for by thousands of escaped bushes in
wild areas in Grant and Trempealeau
counties which have not been removed
because of a lack of public funds for
that purpose and the inability of the
land owners to cope with the situa-
ton.
Barberries were found in Is coun-
ties last month. In Rock county 1,478
sprouts were dug in places where the
bushes previously had been eradicat-
ed In Iowa county CTS bushes were
found and Lafayette had 473. In
Richland county 602 original bushes
were found with 100 in Dodge and 149
in Columbia.

name special arterial highways, but

change this situation. The increased
