GOTWALS SAYS CANAL USE
 CUTTING COSTS IN NORTH

The striking feature of the North west today is the manner in which the shippers of that region are a. widening to the opportunity of les sening transportation costs by the utilization of the Panama Canal, according to Col J. C. Gotwals, Engineer Officer of the Alaska Road Commission who returned to Juneau recently from months visit to Seattle, Portland and other cities of the Northwest. The Canal route he told representative of the Empire has brought Philadelphia and Eastern steel and manufacturing centers as close to the Pacific Northwest and Alaska as Kansas City formerly was, as far as freight rates are concerned.
 The net result is, he said, that many economics have been effected in construction ands other activities. This is benefiting all of the North west and to a certain degree, AL aska, in that 1t is making it possible to do more work for the same mon ey that was formerly expended.
 In Portland conditions are good and the future of the city is of the brightest, said Colonel Gotwals, who said that it is probably destined to be the numbering center of the world -..=-... :-...-..:--:. ......... .... -s4
 Seattle is better than for the past two years and the business depres- sion there has lifted perceptibly. Colonel Gotwals was one of the speakers at luncheon of the Sc attle Chamber of Commerce and in his talk assailed the system of mis- taken conservation" which had been foisted on the Territory. He also attended the Alaska Fish Din ner given by the Arctic Club.
 Materials for putting in the five big piers of the Nizina River bridge and other supplies were purchased by Colonel Gotwals during his ab- sence. These are freighted out to the bridge site this winter. Assistant Superintdent Huddleston will go inside to take charge of the work and it is hoped that all the piers can be completed before next springs high water stops the work. If this is not possible. work will be suspended during the summer and renewed again after the freeze-up next fall. The piers will he complet- ed during the calendar year of 1923 he said. It is planned to complete the structure next winter and early in the spring in 1924.

PICTURE BRIDES SLUMP
 HAWAIIAN BORN ATTRACT

HONOLULU, T. H. Jan. 16,- Japanese picture brides" arriving here in 1921 totaled 555, compared with 1,28S in 1912, according to an announcement made here by R. L. Halsey, inspector in charge of the United States immigration service.
 The reason for the decrease he said. is that many of the modern Japanese young men are seeking their wives among the native born Japanese and that the ''girl from home" has not the charm of former years. The hteracy test, he said has not deterred picture brides. !"
 Nearly everyone from Japan can read and write, and the test is so simple that even a child can pass it." he said.

BLOWING STRAINS


 The increasing tendency or the part of the Government to exploi. the portion of the Territory pene- trated by and contiguous to the rail road from Seward to the interior is nothing more than should be done says Editor White, in a recent issue of the Stroller's Weekly, in view of the vast expenditure of money on the railroad, for the sooner that country Is populated and per manently improved, the sooner will the railroad be nearer q self-sustain- ing basis. It is good business for the Government to do everything possible for the advancement of that section of the Territory.
 = But, warns Editor White behind the disposition of the Government to exploit the railroad belt and lurking far back in the brush there exists a danger to Southeastern Alaska-to Juneau and the entire First Division-and that IS a glar- ing possibility that, along with other favors bestowed, the railroad section Is desirous of obtaining the Terri torial capital and the benefits and thereunto pertaining, ard there are good reasons for believing that there is already an undercurent coursing in that direction and that it will be apparent on the surface in the very near future-certainly by the time the legislature convenes.
 Now, while this paper is yitally interested in the welfare and deyel- opment of the Territory as whole t is honst in its belief that the re- moyal of the Territorial capital from the First Division, comprising as 1t does more than half the population and the bulk of the vested interests of the entire Territory 10 any point outside the division would be step from the disastrous effects of which Alaska would not recover within the next ten-possibility-twenty years and a step which would defeat the ends it would be expected by its O. yer jealous advocates tS accomplish.
 The railroad belt lies far beyond the Gulf of Alaska that dark and stormy water, and during half of the year cannot be expected to be visited by steamers more often than twice month or even less frequent ". Also, Alaska is yet and will, for many years to come. be dependent largely on Seattle and the remainder of the outside world and to prac- tically double the distance between her capital and those bases of. supply would be to administer to her blow that would disorganize her entire economic condition. :.: I
 The time is coming and is not far distant when Alaska should be ulFIUeu 4AlU khO LCIIiLOIASS UT Ouc state and one territory-if the la-- ter can not qualify for statehood. But until that time comes and so long as the vast expanse comprising the TerTitody is under unified gov ernment, the capital should be where the population is and where it will  enjoy the greatest facilities for con- tact with the outside world.
 We desire to see Alaska grow and believe an era of growth is dawning for her but to isolate her capital would be to jeopardise her chances and stunt any growth bulbs that may be already budding.
 In the meantime we believe the diversified and widely separated in- terests of Alaska could best be serv- ed by a division of the Territory.

Glaring Headlights.

Maryland has law against glaring
headlights on automobiles, and the
law defines "glare" so that motor
police may know when headlight
glares Or does not glare. Maryland
has had the law for a long time, but it
seems to have been honored in the
breach. The motor vehicle complis.
sioner Of the state has announced that
the law is to be rigidly enforced. Word
has gone forth to all foot and cycle
policemen in the state that the glaring
headlight is under the ban, and that
violators of the law are to be arrested.
Enforcement of the law will make
safer the streets of Maryland cities
and towns and will make travel on the
roads at night pleasanter. Washing
ton win benefit by the enforcement of
the law, for the evil Of the glaring
headlight, on Maryland roads is known
to all our people. There Is also a Dis
trict regulation against glaring head
lights, and autoists have been request
I'd and even warned to have, their
lights tested that the regulation shall
be observed. 1t Is probable that not all
Of our car owners and drivers have
needed this warning. and It Is believed
that glaring headlights are used on
Washington streets and District roads.
