Judge H. W. Mellen, Eearly Day Operator,
 Visitor In Seward

The lure of Alaska, according to friends of Judge H. w. Mellen, is responsible for his return to the ter ritory after being away for 15 years. The main thing is Judge Mellen, prominent mining man in the early days in the Southeastern portion of the Territory, has returned, and tho this is his first trip to Seward and to this district of Alaska, he was cordially greeted by many of his for mer Alaska friends who are now re- siding in Seward, as he stepped from the Yukon upon her arrival in port Friday.
 Judge Mellen, who first arrived in Alaska in 1893 will be remembered by many as the one responsible for the opening up of the free milling ore in the famous Julian mine, be- tween Juneau and Skagway. This mine is said to have produced gold to the approximate value of million dollars, and is at the present time being worked by Belgium capital. From Juneau, Judge Mellen develop ed the Copper Mountain property, located near Ketchikan.
 Since his departure from the terri tory he has been engaged in the rais- ing of fancy stock owning a splendid ranch near Sumner, Wash. Judge Mellen expects to depart for Anch- orage in a few days on business of a personal nature. During his stay in Seward he is a guest at the Sex ton hotel.

''IRON CHINK" BOSS IN SEWARD ON WAY
 BRISTOL BAY REGION

B. R. Brierly, sales manager of the Smith Cannery Machine compa- in Seward Friday night on the steam turers of the Iron Chink," arrived in Seward last night on the steam CT Yukon. on his way to Bristol Bay. Mir. Brierly is stopping at the Hotel Sexton during his brief stay in town.
 This spring the company has sold number of the new model Iron Chink," MT. Brierly stated last even ing, five of which have been placed with Bristol Bay canneries, on a testing basis. The main feature in the new model, Ml BFierly pointed out, was the more positive feed; a larger saving in the raw material, better shining work, and in addition, requiring a less number of sinners. The new model machine has been placed in other cannerieS in this dis Sound and in British Columbia, Lib- eral allowances are being made by the company the old machines. The present trip of MT. Brierly's is be- ing made primarily for the purpose of inspecting the Iron Chinks" new and old, found in every cannery in Alaska The cannery business is now on a much frmer footing than it has been for a number of years and ev- cry indication points to a splendid pack this season.
 According to his present plans it is quite likely he will leave Seward on the steamer Starr for Seldovia from which point he will cross Cook Inlet in small boat to Iliamna Bay, up the river and across the trail to the village located at the lake; down the lake 50 miles in small boat, and then another river trip of approxi- mately no miles to his destination, Bristol Bay. Mr. Brierly anticipates a great saving in time in going into the district this way. However, on the other hand he said his party may change their mind and continue straight thru on the steamer Starr, which is expected to leave Seward late Monday night or Tuesday morn ing. MT. Brierly will return to Sew ard in July, probably on his way South. Accompanying MT. Briefly on the present trip is w. F. Peterson, efficiency expert and general fore man of the Seattle plant.

MOTOR ETHICS

The American Automobile Association is starting
out to formulate and put national code of mot
oring ethics The need of such code is evident to
anybody anywhere. 1t is more important for motor
lists to agree on the decences of driving and observe
them, than it is to agree national set of uniform
traffic regulations The latter too ESSENTIAL but
no rules amount to anything if people don't want to
observe them
First get good road rules then make them known
then persuade everybody to do his best to live to
them, in spirit we'll letter The last is the hard
est.
Motor ethics surely in bad state at pre-
sent. For some unexplained reason, people
ally more impolite and nconsderate behind steering
wheels than anywhere else. Ladies and gentlemen
do things the road that they wouldn't think of do
ing at home in public assembly AS for those who
are not ladies and gentlemen anywhere-and there
many such driving in this prosperous and democratic
country of ours-thngs they do openly and fagrantly
in the midst of traffic would have been incredible be-
fore this motor age came, in its early years.
And it isn't disregard of others obvious
rights. Any slight infraction of what other drivers
take rightly wrongly, to be their rights is Of
ten met nowadays with explosion of profanity and
obscenity, regardless of surroundings.
Automobiling, with all its pleasant features,
seems to be getting the nations nerves Maybe
there ought to be motor moratorium before starting
in with this decency code.

CRIME CAUSES

There is division in the general attitude
toward crime. All intelligent, selfrespecng citizens
abhor it. But there is great deal of division in
derstandng of crime and its and in the attitude
toward punishment of different sorts.
Z One of the most valuable things that the newly
ganized National Crime Commission do is tc
pile accurate information the subject.
The state of Georgia knows more about crime
within its borders than do most states. 1t knows for
example, its percentage of convictions for burglary
is g. for forgery 6l for larceny 54 and for murder
only %. With that knowledge to start on it should
be able next to find out why many murderers
cape and how best to CATCH convict and punish them
Those in authority, we'll responsible citizens,
need to know where the trouble lies. Who is at fault
police, prosecutors, courts jurieS prisons? If Grim
nals be reformed, how is it to be done? If they
cannot be reformed how is society to be protected
from their wrong-doing?
