TERRITORIAL DIVISION.
(Juneau Empire)

The movement in Southeastern Alaska for the division of the Terri tory, started by Ketchikan, is gaining formidable proportions. The City mercial Clubs and Chambers of Com merce of ketchikan, Wrangell, Peters burg and Juneau have voted in favor of the proposition. Elections will be held in Ketchikan and Juneau Nov ember 9th to test public opinion in the premises and the Ketchikan City Council has invited the other incor porated towns to do likewise
 If it Is discovered that tie people favor a division, it is the Ketch' kan plan that a convention shall be held at Juneau, November 15, to devise ways and means of presenting the matter to Congress.
 The Empire believes that unless a full Territorial form of government with provision for organizing counties which shall have power to fix tax lev ies and expend the proceeds of taxa tion, is given Alaska there should be division of the Territory at once.
 It believes that the people believe that division must come sooner or later, and it should come now.
 At the present time this section of Alaska is contributing very largely to the support of the schools and other institutions, to the building of roads and trails, to the payment of the pen sions, in short to the maintenance of the government of a population scat tered over a vast area of 100000 to 450,000 square miles of Territory. which pays but seven per cent of the Territorial taxes and has one half of the membership of the Legislature which also functions as a Board of County Commissioners. That condi- ton does not present an inviting pros pect to those whom we are asking and expecting to come here to develop our timber and other resources. It is particularly discouraging wnCn it is said in so many quarters in the North and elsewhere that there will be di vision when the Interior shall have developed to the point that it car care for itsself. It is too great 8 handicap to place upon a section oi the country that is still struggling with it's own pioneer conditions.
 If the people of the other sections O Alaska would agree to representation in the Legislature in proportion tC population, to the collection and eX penditure of most of the taxes through county organizations and take care o more of their own local improvement and institutions the proposition to di vide the Territory would be different Southeastern Alaska has not asket

HOBOES HIS WAY THRU
 COLLEGE AT HARVARD U

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 30-With 13 cents in his pocket when he start ed Gilbert L. Parks, who hoboed his way from Oklahoma to Cambridge to attend Harvard university, arrived in this city and received an official well come from Mayor Quinn.
 Parks explained to Mayor Quinn how he made his way from Oklahoma on 13 cents, but he rode into Boston on a train because he feared to shock the delicate sensibilities of persons in the city.
 He travelled from Chicago to Buffalo working as a deck hand on lake steamer and after that came lifts on the highway from motorists.
 Making a little money in New York Parks thought he had better ride into Boston. He was congratulated by the mayor who said he was bound to sue ceed.

BUYING AT HOME.
(Valdez Miner)


 Every little while newspapers thru out the country-one in Alaska alone start a campaign against the mail order houses, pointing out that the home merchant pays taxes to help support the town, contributes to 57 varieties of worthy causes and in many ways is called upon to do things for the community that the mail order houses cannot and will not do. All this is perfectly true and people with a. pride in the community in which they reside will patronize the local merchants. Naturally the mer- chant is pleased with these cam paigns and the newspaper man gets a pat on the back and is called a good fellow-but that doesn't buy him any groceries, or clothes or shoes. In how many instances does the mer- chant or the business man send out side for printing which the same print CT who is boosting his business would be mighty glad to get? Trading at home should apply to the merchant as we'll as the printer.

LONG LIST OF ELlGiBLES

Seward has a number of handsome bachelors who are we'll fixed in thls worlds goods, and with the large number of women writing to this pa per inuuiring for soulmates, 1t IS crying shame that a moratorium can not be declared and man take doz- en wives for year or so, until their longing for Alaska has subsided.
 While the letters of many of these inauirers indicate high blood pressure and an ardent desire 10 rush into mat rimony without proper qualifications there might be one or two in the bunch who could swing a mean axe or shake a nasty snowshovel in case of necessity. A wife used to be help meet, a woman who did four-fifths of the work, and put in the rest of her time in raising kids and poultry, and looking after the fires. Civilization has not improved the modern woman, who wants her breakfast in bed and a thousand dollar income. In case our correspondents believe they can fill the bill and are willing to take a sour dough for better or worse, (mostly worse), we have a choice matrimonial list of eligible bachelors, guaranteed to bathe regular and change clothes at least once every six months. which will be mailed for a postage stamp The Gateway, however, desires it un- derstood that 1t is not responsible for damages. nor does it guarantee prop ertv or title.

A reeistered brand Tor a reindeer is the proper thing. There are more animals in Alaska than cattle in Ari zona, and there newspaper editors used to carve out the brands from small blocks of wood, advertising them for thirty days. Some queer brands were recorded, and it kept an editor busy with a carving set to keep up with the registry. There was the Hashknife, the Box H, the Flying W, the Lazy Y, so called because it lay on its side. the Pothook, the Fish hook, the Heart H, the Lazy s, the M & o. the Horseshoe, the U Bar the Circle Bar and a hundred other we'll known brands. It would be queer if Alaskan newspapers had to publish recorded brands.

THE AMERICAN FLAG.
(By Thelma TaIlaSenl !

(By Thelma Tallasen)
 The American Flag is the emblem of the United States. The red in our flag stands for bravery; the white for purity, and the blue to be true to our country. Each one of these princi- ples the American people try hard to keep. In times of war and peace they prove themselves brave by sticking to what they believe is right. They try to see all sides of any matter so they can do what is right. They prove themselves true Americans by being true to their country and flag. They believe in the United States and in those who are appointed by the per pie to govern them. They try to be pure Americans by being whole Americans and doing what is best for their country. Thus the emblem Of the United States is red for bravery, white for purity and blue to be true.

POTTERY 1900 YEARS
OLD FOUND In SWEDEN
Unusual Number OF Relics Centuries
Old Are Being Unearthed by
y .ArcheolOgists

Stockholm, Aug. 10-Swedish arch
biologists have lately discovered an
unusual number of relics that date
back twenty to thirty centuries B. c.,
the latest find being tomb and
shrine of heather worship of the
Stone Age estimated to be about 1000
years old. sa~
This tomb is situated in Lacka-
laenga, Shame, the most southerly
province of Sweden, and until a short
time ago 1t lay buried beneath ten
different strata of earth. Built of
large stone slabs, it has a central
chamber about ten feet by five.
Around it is circular pavement of
slabs, from which radiate a number
of curious walks marked by stones.
A considerable quantity of human
and animal bones were found, togeth-
err with flint daggers and spear heads.
But the most interesting discovery
was that of about 1000 fragments of
ornamented vases, which had been
thickly strewn outside the tomb. The
shattering of these vases probably
took place, according to the archeolo-
gists, in connection with heather re-
ligious ceremonies. The shaping of

NEW CAMPAIGN FOSTERS
TECHNICAL LEARNING
Two-thirds of the Boys Reared In
London Enter Upon Unskiiled

trades.
London, Aug. 1o-Two-thirds of the
boys reared in London enter casual
trades, as unskilled labor and shop
men, and only 10 per cent of them
enter the skilled trades.
These figures, which have been pre-
pared in the interests of campaign
to furnish greater technical education
for London's youth, are said to be
higher in unskilled and lower in
skilled trades than any other large
city in western Europe or America.
This is the result of insufficient
technical training centers, and the
poverty among the lower classes,
which forces the boys to work at very
early ages.
The campaign which is being
backed by many welfare organizations
will attempt to arouse interest In the
establishing of training centers
throughout England.

Painters Waging a
Health Campaign

New York-Org Anized painters in
this district have inaugurated an ex-
tensive campaign to minimize the
health dangers in their calling. 1t
has been proven that a five-day week
makes it possible for a painter to get
the poison out of his system, and the
painters won this five-dau week four
wears ago. Their victory, however,
included so many emergency provi-
sions" that it means five and half
day week, which thev now demand
must be reduced to the original fig
ure. ;,
The painters district council, rep
resenting 10000 painters, maintains
it's own health bureau, which is
eouipued with scientific apparatus for
the detection and prevention of occu-
pational diseases.
In an examination of 267 painters
it was found that the percentage of
men afflicted with lead and other
noisons was unusually high. 1t was
also found that 40 per cent showed
loss of weight; 43 per cent suffered
from constipation; % per cent had
muscular rheumatism; 18 per cent
complained of general weakness and
13 per cent suffered from chronic
headaches.

After Chain Stores
In State of Illinois
(By Federated Press)

Jefferson City, Mo.-The chain
store bill, designed to drive out of
business in Missouri all chain stores,
has been reported out favorably by
the senate ways and means commit
tee.
By process of multiplication of
license fees the chain stores, such as
Piggly- -Wiggly, Kroger Grocer &
Baking Co., United Cigar Stores,
WoolvSrth, and the Kresge and 10
cent stores would be forced to close.
The bill provides license tax of $500
for the first of the chain stores, $1,000
for the second, $500 for the third,
and so on, an additional $500 being
added for additional store. Thus, a
firm with 10 stores, would pay Ii
cense of $4,000 for the tenth and the
total Of ten would be $27,500. More
than 10 stores under one ownership
would be prohibited by law.
The bill was brought to Jefferson
City by Edward Foristel, St. Louis
lawyer, who said he represented the
retail merchants Of the state. The
bill is of a character which usually
causes a strong fight, there being
wealth and powerful influence for
and against it, but at this writing op-
ponents of the measure have not ap-
peared.

Higher Wages Prevail
In Building Trades
(By Federated Press)

Washington - A pronounced up
ward trend in building trades wages
is shown in a renort published by the
U. S. department of labor in the last
issue of it's Monthly Labor Review.
The report assemblies returns from sc
cities and compares the union wage
scale established May Is, 1922, with
the rates prevailing on Nov. Is, Oh
the same year.
In general the union scale in this
industry is the prevailing rate in each
city. But in many instances the de-
mand for competent workmen has
lifted the prevailing rate to a level
considerably above the union scale.
Under these circumstances the open
shop forces can hardly contend that
present high buildinp costs are due
to union domination of the industry.
Nearly half of the cities report
rates of pay for bricklayers in excess
of those established by the union
agreements. The demand for carpen-
ters does not yet appear to have been
sufficient to bring as many in
creases, although there are II cities
in which the prevailing rate on Nov.
Is was above that established in May.
In certain of the cities a very con-
siderable proportion of the workers
were reported as receiving more thar
the prevailing rate shown. Colum-
bus, Ohio, reported that the prevail
ing rate on Nov. Is was still the
S1.12A rate established in May, but
that 40@6 of it's bricklayers were re-
ceiving $1.50 an hour. In Chicago,
accordinp to the report, 500 of the
carpenters received $1.25, while about
20@6 were receiving 81 an hour. The
report from Minneapolis stated that
the rate of 81 per hour for bricklay-
ers, established in May, was still the
prevailing rate, but that 400 of this
craft are receiving $1.121a an hour.
In Saginaw, Mich, with the same pre-
vailing rate, $3.50 of the bricklayers
on Nov. Is were paid at the rate of
$1.25 per hour and 20@o at the rate of
$1.35 per hour. Similarly New York
reported 258o of it's bricklayers as re-
ceiving 1919 cents above the $1.25
rate, established in May. Rochester,
N. Y, with an 85-cent rate for car
penters, reported that 3096 of the
carpenters were employed at 81 per
hour.
