GREAT LAKES SHIPPING
 GREATER THAN 1925

CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 30. (P)- Shipping on the great lakes, except as affected by conditions peculiar to, this year represents an increase over 1925 according to George A. Marr, Secre- tary-treasurer of the Lakes Carriers association.
 Movements in iron ore preliminary estimates showed, will exceed the 1925 figure of 54,O81,298 tons, and grain shipments will equal those of last year barring poorer crops than are expected, he said.
 Indications are, MT. Marr said, that coal movements on the lakes will be slightly lower than for 1925, due to the English coal strike.

ILLINOIS WATER W|TCH'
 STILL PLIES HIS TRADE

- DANVERS, H., Dec 30. R)-One water witch" of Central Illinois is Theodore Whistler, a Well driller in this community for many years, who uses the peach limb divining rod.
 Theos procedure is simple. Taken to the place where a well is to be drilled, he cuts branch fromsa near by tree, leaving one prong extend ing some distance. Although any branch may be used, or even a wire bent in the shape of "Y", peach is the favorite,
 Grasping the branch firmly in both hands, The walks slowly across the ground with the prong pointed upright. Suddenly, he says, there is tug on the stick and the prong starts to turn down. The stick con- tinues to bob rythmically, while Theo counts the pulsations. The stick stops and Theo announces "a vein at 65 feet"
 Theo declares he has never missed his calculations more than five feet

BROADEN THE FIELD

Where town has a limited amount of trade it is necessary to look for a broader field in that en- deaver to find in that neighbor- hood sufficient population to make it profitable to do business there. Nc doubt it would be possible to reach others than those of the i'm mediate community. No doubt by reaching out there would be others who could beinduced to trade in that town. The way to combat the influence of the large depart ment store is to use their methods and do what is possible to get other customers than those in the town. In every community there are families which could be interested if the right kind of efforts were used. Just beyond every corpora tion is a circle of families which ought to, Or could be, induced tc come to town for the buying. The storekeeperwho pushes for these will get the business which haG not been coming to him and will be satisfied with the result oi what effort it has cost. The Country Publisher.

ALL IS NOT FIT TO PRINT.

A dearth of local news often leads to murmurs on the part of those who prize local gossip above all else, and it is not the fault of the publisher. Any live publisher will not fail to give all the local news worthy of note; therefore, when the local depart menment is short you should not rail at the editor, but remember you might have committed suicide got married, quarreled with your neighbor, stole chickens, let your team run away or done a hundred other things to make To- cal item. If a newspaper should publish current gossip, or the hints and allusions of the best society in the community it would be ostracized  and the editor horsewhipped or burned at the stake Think min- ute of the mean and low things you say about your toWsmen and your neighbors and imagine how it would look in print. Don't criticize the newspapers for. what they print, but give them great credit for what they don't print. A newspaper that contained one-half the nonsense current among the best citizens, would be considered unfit to read. Honest! t!-Patchogue (N. Y. Ad- vance.

While the above is of interest to the territory in general we are more particularly interested in getting more boats owned by residents not only to stop here with their fares of fish but to winter here. The united effort of Ketchikan business men to hold boat owners in that port and the harmony On policies ef- fecting the town itself is making it not only the First City of Alaska but the biggest city in point of business and trade.

The Civil Legion, natonal or ganization composed of patriotic citizens who served the United States during the World War in Civil capacities, will hold it's first convention in Philadelphia during the month of October.
 Officers will be elected, a decla- ration of principles adopted and a permanent organization effected.
 Alaska and Hawaii have been given one delegate each and Por- to Rico two delegates to the con- vention.
 A special effort will be made by the temporary officers to agree up- on a. program that will induce tourists to visit Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico in preference to Europe.
 The situation in Porto Rico is one that particularly appeals to the officers of the Civil Legion. The financing of it's public debt is a matter that should be approached, with a spirit of likeability equal to that shown Italy, Jugo-Slavia and France. Industries and employ ment should be encouraged and shorter route than a commission plan should be adopted to obtain rspeedy results.

PATRIOTIC WITHDRAWAL


 That MT. Boyle did a sensible and patriotic thing in frank and manly way when he withdraw from the race for Delegate to Congress cannot be seriously questioned. - Juneau Empire.
 It might not Dc seriously question: ed but 1t cei tainly is challenged for we cannot conceive of any patrio- ttsm in deliberately entering into a deal whereby MT. Adams of Nome. 8 bona f1de candidate for the same ofice would be eliminated without considering tte rightness of the act or the feelings of representative electors of the Democratic party.
 Patriotism! A sensible and Pat riotic Act. Since when was a be- trayal of political principles pa triotic thing to do. The very state ment shows to what depravity the leaders of the combination, Demo Republic Independent party has stopped when through their official organ they attempt to get the elect OTIS of the Territory to believe that the cheapest kind of selling out of the principles of the Democratic party is a 'sensible and patriotic thing" to do.
 Since before the spring primaries wo have been waiting for the cul- imitation of the deal whereby Boyle s+eps out. We have been rather curious as to just how the act would be justified. Notwithstanding the column or more of explanations there is no justification for the act
 
 dictated by certain Juneau and Ketchikan political leaders. Call it patriotic or any other pleasing title and the bare fact remains that the deal was completed when and thru MT. Gore of Ketchikan, the plans for this move were made known. Shamefacedly MT. Gore told of the plan to have Boyle withdraw and it was not called patriotic act by some of the little gathering list ening to the machinations of the powers that be. Through their little pawn it was made known that Marquam was the first love of Johnny Walker and the "Stroller" of Juneau.
 As a political being Boyle now fades into oblivion to be remember ed as the Democratic nominee for the office of Delegate to Congress who was not big enough man to stand up for the principles of his party Or of himself as a man; who will be remembered as the nominee, who listening to the siren voices ot the clink of gold and the power it holds over man, as patriotic act, betrayel the trust imposed in him by his party electors in Alaska. The political grave is dug and the last rites uttered by those who hon. ored him with this trust. He passes into his political grave damn ed for the Benedict Arnold he is and for the disgusting spectable he has made of himself. THE act will not be forgotten nor forgiven and The elections this fall will show that such trust imposed in political can didates cannot be tossed hither and yon as a basket ball. That only the Empire and it's blind following with un-American complexes ofols itself into believing defeat of Hon. Dan Sutherland.

Pennsylvania, and Illinois elections

Pennsylvania, and Illinois elections it would appear to us that such a standing rule would be most fitting. That the position of Unit ed States Senator is worth from two to five hundred or more thousand dollars worth of cam paign expenses seems rather out of proportion to us. When campaign contributions in vast fortunes are contributed to the election of a United States Senator it appears as if such contributors expect more or less value in return.

Health Notes
By Dr. Dan E. Standard

OAu you SNoF sup Lo A5uA0 No0 the old Darky preacher said) on how far short the human race comes in living to the ripe age we should? We are one of the family of ANIMALS, and in contrast to the average age lived by them we find we come far short.
 No other question is being studied and discussed as much today among scientific people as the subject of health.
 It is tho concensus of opinion among thinkers and writers that PERIODIC EXAMINATIONS should be made of all people, and many states are spending thousands of dollars in. collaboration with the United States government, in pro- rogating and providing for the health interests of our people.
 It is a notable fact that this has been largely started and stimulated by the Metropolit2rLife Insurance Company in tho spreading of the Gospel of health and the prolonga- tion of life, as we'll as life ex- pectancy, has been actually accom- plished through the LIFE EXTEN- SION INSTITUTE, created for this purpose, in which a large number of Life Insurance Companies are as- Gociated, and their policy holders are furnished~> regular periodic ex- aminations, the exp anses thereof paid by the Insurance companies. U'nquestionably the results show that already among such aggregate policy holders, the average age has very materially increased, and they brought about the blessing of good health and prolongation of life for thousands, to say nothing of the personal satisfaction and enjoyment of families.
 Now for instance lets contrast a V i'll notice that they live ah, Ut five times as long as man. A horse is fully developed between his fifth and sixth year. With proper care he lives to between twenty-five and thirty years. Now man is fully de- veloped at about twenty-four, and if we'll fed and average care he lives say, to seventy, which is about three times the number of years it takes him to grow up. Now run through the whole list of animals and we find they live about five times as long as it takes them to grow up, except MAN who lives scarcely three times as long as if takes him to mature. It is but comparatively few years ago that in the largest city in France there was not one man nor woman who was over 50 years of age. Sewage ran through the open streets, contam- mated the wells and spread disease often killing half the people in a plague, and they did not live out one half their natural life.
 Health sense, knowledge of sanita- tion, and efforts on the part of the people generally are seen today al most everywhere. This is evidenc- ed by noting how many folk go picnicking, and find their way into the open more than they did even few years ago. William James once said Simply to live, breathe ! and move should be delight"
 The proper way to have and en- joy good health, and live to the ripe age we should, is made pos I sible by no other way as much, as not waiting till one is sick and call the doctor, but by preventing sickness very largely, in periodi- cally going to the doctor for tho rough examination, and advice as to the proper foods and rules ot living.

Regulations promulgated by the Department of Commerce declared that traps must be mile apart and 50 percent escapement of salmon allowed. The owners of the Frazer trap at Eagle creek hive construed this to mean that their trap can be put closer to the salmon stream and to grab all the lish possible. Seining ope. .aticns at this sockeye and dog salmon stream is practically nil while the trap owners take greater quantities ct fish than was secured by the seiners.
