NEEDED IN IsI7-1s

An enterprising Chicago lawyer has discovered a decision of the Illinois Supreme Court in 1893 to the effect that any citizen can be drafted for civic duty. "The public has a right to the services of all the citizens" declared the judge, "and may demand them in all civic departments, as well as the milit- ary." That is a principle that would have saved the national government billions of money and heartbreak- ing delays had it been applied dur ing the World War While the men drafted for military service were being killed or permanently in capacitated for $50 month, those who escaped the draft were earning wages never dreamed of before and WlIl no QdUSeI u 1i4S Oi AAAAAH' Al the men receiving s1 a day had struck for more pay they would have been branded deserters and punished accordingly. But the men at home, earning from $s day up never hesitated to lay down their tools if they thought that strike in avital war industry would bring them better pay. The government had as much right to their services in essential industries as it had to the services of the soldiers in the trenches. Let us hope that in the next emergency the draft will be applied indiscriminately to all.

RYDER PROPERTY INVOLVED
 IN LAWSUIT OVER OPTION

Suit was filed in the United States district court, at Ketchikan recently by the New Alaska Mining Company through its attorney, James NJ. Shoup, against Charles o. Knupple, Dan Davis, William McGrew and the Daily Alaska Mines, a corporation wherein the plaintiff asks the court to compel defendants to deed it cer- tain mining properties in Hyder on which an option was given in April 1919. Although sums much less are mentioned in the suit, it is said that the plaintiffs believe the properties to be worth millions.
 The plaintiff alleges that on April II, 1919, Knupple, Davis and Me Grew entered into an agreement with Charles F. Caldwell whereby the latter was given an option on the Eleven-Mile group, the Mineral Claim group, the Iron, Hosier and Eleven-Mile claims, and agreed to stake all the vacant adjoining claims and to turn over 70 the plaintiff cer- tain cabins and outfits. One hun dred dollars cash was paid, an addi- tional $500 was to be paid in 30 days and then s51,40O between that time and October 1, 1921, certain fixed dates and amounts for pay ments having been agreed on and set forth in the complaint.
 This agreement and his rights, Caldwell is alleged to have assisted to the New Alaska Mining Com pany, the plaintiff. It is further set forth that on September IT, 1920, l the time for payment of the sums agreed on was extended, and that on September 30, 1922, the plaintiff rendered to the defendant in ac- cordance with the terms of the az reement, $37,4OO but that the de, fendants then refused to transfer the property. and has since contin' ually refused to give them title. Therefore, the plaintiff asks the court to compel the defendants tc carry out their part of the agree ment and to transfer the claims

FISHERMAN IS RESCUED
 BY KANATAK MAIL BOAT

The steamer Starr in addition to supplying the westward people with efficient service is on occasion doing much good in lines other than trans portation says the Seward Gateway. This was exemplified on the recent trip when but for the timely aid of the vessel, Nick Hansen. fisher man of Unga would in all pro- bability have been drowned.
 According to eye witnesses the Starr had scarecely cleared the port of Unga for Squaw Harbor when a drifting power dory was sighted by Captain Johansen. the small craft evidently being in distress and rapidly drifting ashore. Running in as close as conditions would permit the captain had ships boat lowered with a line leading from the ship, to be used in hauling the boat to the ship, and after maay trying mo- ments Hansen's boat was made fast to that of the Starr and his rescue from impending death was accom- plished. After a stiff 3&ttle with the gale the crew and the rescued man were taken on board. Hansen with his dory, was taken back to Unga

PROSPECTORS WORKING HARD TO LOCATE NEW PAYSTREAK

Forty-five holes down to bedrock each penetrating the frozen gravel an average of fourteen to fifteen feet is the record of the good work of two husky prospectors, Lyman Williams and Matty Watson, on En- chantment creek, a tributary of Six tymile in the Dawson Country. The report was brought to Dawson says the News by Jim Hughes engineer of the Injun River Express, who has returned with his ten-malamute team after visit to Entertainment.
 "Matson and Williams are real prospectors. the kind that counts in a new country" says Jim, land if the Yukon had several thousand of that type at work it might turn up marvellous new place. camp or two, soon. You can't sit around a stove and tell what's in the count ", and none of that medium or astrology business goes when it comes to locating the paystreak. The things that count are the pick and the shovel and a little steam boiler nd a good strong arm and back and mind to keep on moving. Those boys have all that. and I hope they get it."
