Rate Children First

Like most insects, the FREELY is
worth a thought because Of its half
human characteristics.
To begin with, the male does all
the flying and firing. The female
never rises from the ground and
never produces more than faint
glow. The wisdom of such an ar
rangement is obvious. 1t is just
another illustration of natures stub
born scheme to protect mothers at
all cost and provide for reproduc-
ton.
The basis of natural law seems to
be that perpetuation of life through
offspring IS the first and most i'm
portant object of life.
Applied to our own situation, this
means that children are the most
important product of the human
race, and that nothing counts for
very much, except it contributes to
theiE protection and improvement.

Clearing the Courts

Let it be hoped that no influence will inter
fere with the zeal Of the Bar Association in its
investigation of the local municipal courts, or
more particularly those courts which deal with
the criminal law.
These courts are the creation of the State.
The judges are named by the Governor. The
people have no voice in the selection of those
who dispense such justice as is'meted out.
The lawyers begin to suspect that there is
something wrong in these courts, suspicion
which has been held very generally by those
who are not trained in legal lore and technical
trickery
These courts are the most important courts,
not excluding even the Supreme Court of the
State, whose deliberate deliberations on impor
tant matters sometimes settle important prin-
ciples of law. For it is into these lesser courts
that most offenders are brought.
1t is in these courts that justice must be
even handed pure and undefled, if there is
to be any confidence in courts at all, for it is
in these courts that most citizens get their i'm
pressons of our legal system.
That the Bar Association is making an in
quiry suggests that even lawyers have been
struck by some very peculiar brands of justice
that have been produced in the recent past.
When repeated police raids on baseball
pools, gambling houses, slot machines and other
forms Of public and opes gambling result only
in the conviction Of a few uninfuential per-
sons, lawyers must be impressed with the fact
that the legal machine is missing on a few of
its cogs.
That there is suspicion that lawyers po-
Ecemen and bondsmen connived to extort sums
from those arrested for minor crimes under
the fimsy guise Of fees means that lawyers
who respect the traditions Of the profession are
quite certain that these practices exist.
The inquiry should go beyond the courts
themselves into the ranks of the legal pro-
fession. For if there has been laxity in the
courts, there has certainly been skullduggery
on the part of some lawyers who view their
license to practice law as license to loot
A cleanup of unprofessional lawyers would
be fine thing for justice in indianapolis. 1t
ought not to be possible for lawyers to hire
witnesses to disappear and continue to practice
law. 1t ought not to be possible for attorneys
to pay out huge sums to persons who produced
forged affdavits by which "the gang hoped
to send innocent men to the pententiary and
let the whole burden fall on the tool who was
hired
The cleaning up of the municipal courts is
a worthy purpose. 1t should be only The be-
ginning. The Bar Association, if it hopes to
tain any confidence in law or courts, should
go farther and get those blacklegs in the legal
profession who conspire to defeat justice.

The Next Step

The Federal trade commission started out some ten
weeks ago to investigate the power industry under
terms of the Walsh resolution.
Agents of the industry in what perhaps was one
of the most effective bits of lobbying pracced in
Congress- had been able to divert the investigation
from Senate committee to the commission.
There, it was thought, the usual dull and perfume
tory hearings would be held while the clamor raised
by Walsh and others dying down and public in
terest was being diverted.
The utilities have been fooled badly The COM
mission has proceeded with vgor and intelligence
The questionable propaganda methods of the utih-
ties and the magnitude IF their efforts to control pub
lie thought and legislation have been revealed. The
public has been aroused and the utilities are on the
defensive.
1t has been shown that vast sums, contributed by
the utilities from the money they collected from
toners have been spent to control public thought in
every conceivable way. Efforts extended from Con-
gress to womens clubs.
Textbooks were planted in schools colleges were
subsidized and their professors hired Speakers were
sent out Former high officers of the Government
were employed. Newspapers flooded with prop
aganda-and advertising.
Personal contacts" of various sorts were estab-
nshed where it was thought this would be helpful
particularly when legislation pending
The propaganda machine functioned with the joint
committee the National Electric Light Association
and other national organizations at the top
Spread in a network throughout the country were
regional and State Offices, all cooperating and work
ing to the same end Every community in the country
felt the work of the propagandists.
the objects of the utilities it shown were to
defeat Boulder Dam and Muscle Shoals bills to pre-
vent investigation to combat public ownership, to
prevent Federal regulation and to persuade that
present rates and financing methods are proper.
The Federal trade commission has recessed its in
vestigations until September and far has tackled
but one phase of its job It already has performed
a genuine service however in revealing the menace
of this attempt of organized giant of industry to
control legislation and agencies of information in
its own interests
The question of financing methods remains to be
examined It is to be hoped there will be similar
good results in that field.

Science Knows little

Put in simple terms, science ex-
plains that the FREELY contains two
cells, one charged with luciferin
and the other with luciferase. BY
a nervous action, the luciferin is
drawn through a minute tube into
the luciferase. The two materials
mix, oxidize, produce a flash, sepa-
rate and return to their respective
cells ready to repeat the perform
ance.
That is as far as science has gone.
What luciferin and luciferase really
are, whether they are produced by
chemical action, or whether their
production is bound up with or
ganic existence, remains a riddle.

ADANAC COMPANY
 TO INSTALL
 MACHINE PLANT

Amply financed for the pros ecution of a vigorous develop ment program during the com ing season, the Adanac Mines Company of Alaska will in- stall a compressor plant and start work on its extensive holdings in the Fish Creek section as soon as spring op- ems, according to announce ments made following the an- nual meeting of the company, held recently in Victoria.
 Activities will be devoted principally to extending the new tunnel started on the prop erty last fall by Mine manager Thos. Robertson. The tunnel is located on the Lucky Boy Ex- tension and will be extended to 150 feet to cut a vein of high grade ore encountered last year in a 40-foOt winze sunk from the old tunnel. The tunnel is expected to cut this ore body at a depth of 180 feet on the dip of the vein. A ton of ore from the winze shipped last fall gave returns of $92.66 per ton and assays as high as $126.34 were ob- tained.
 Once this ore body is definite ly established in the new tun- nel, the company proposes to open it on a commercial scale and ship ore regularly.
 The Adanac group comprises 26 claims and adjoins the Mountainview property, about 5 miles north of Hyder.
 Despite the performance of a large amount of development work, the company, capitaliz- ed at $750,000, has issued only a little over 100000 shares of it's stock, thereby establishing a splendid record for econom- ical management.

New books, totaling 132 vol umes will shortly be added to the list at the Hyder Public Library, as a result of purchas- es made by Col. E. R. Stivers, librarian, who is now in the. States, combined by a big don- ation of books made by the Seattle Public Library as a re- suit of his efforts.
 In a letter from Seattle to D. J. Mulcare, Secretary of the library association Col. Stivers reported that the Seattle li- brary had donated 66 volumes and a similar number had been acquired by purchase.

As a result of extensive inn provements and alterations, eff fected during the past few weeks by the Moves Boat Co.,, the motorship Fairbanks ply ing between Hyder and Ketch- ikan, is probably the best equipped passenger carrying vessel of its size to be found in Alaska waters.
 In it's present state the fast little vessel contains excellent sleeping accommodations for a total of 22 passengers, includ- ing 12 stateroom berths, which are in every way as comfort able and convenient as are usually found. on much larger vessels. The dining accommo- dations have also been greatly improved by the construction of a new deck house contain ing an 8 X 12 galley and din- ing room, in which 10 persons can be comfortably cared for at one time.
 The company is also install ing a hot water furnace for heating the cabins and provid- ing hot water, something not usually found in the smaller type of vessels.
 Pursuant to its policy of giv- ing Hyder the best service possible, the company has practically made the vessel ov- CT inside and no comfort or convenience that could be util- ized has been overlooked in the process. The new interior fittings were installed by Axel Osborn, we'll known Ketchikan cabinet maker and wood work CT.
 In a further effort to stimu- late traffic between Hyder. and Ketchikan, the company has reduced freight charges to $4 per ton and passenger fares to $1O per trip.

SYNDICATE TO WORK
 FISH CREEK GROUP

A strong financial syndicate of Vancouver men has been formed to sponsor a new de- velopment plan for the Ameri- can Mining & Milling Co. properties on Fish Creek, &C., cording to Vancouver papers.
 The new development plan has been worked out by B. w. w. McDougall, well known mining engineer, who examin- ed the property last fall with a view to devising a compre- hensive working plan.
 The reports say the plan em- braces the driving of a main crescent tunnel which will reach all the deposits exposed on the surface" and permit their being stopped at depth. The company has been success full in closing an underwriting deal to provide working capital and is looking forward to a summer of successful operat- ion.

FIRE THREATENS
 LINDERORC HOME

A roof fire caused by a de- fective flue threatened to de- stroy the former home of Dan- iel Lindeborg, near Pioneer Hall, Wednesday morning.
 The building is one of the oldest structures in Hyder and is used by the Mountainview Gold Mining Co. as a town of- flee. Arthur Moa, manager of the company, discovered the blaze before it had gained much headway and the flames were speedily quenched with hand extinguishers yielded by MT. Moa and residents of the neighborhood. The dam- age was very slight.

BIG LUMBER DEMAND.

The Hyder Lumber Co. mill is working over time in the ef- fort to keep pace with the present heavy demand for lumber. Since resuming operat- ion three weeks ago, scarcely a stick of stock lumber has been cut, the entire daily output be- taken away practically as fast as cut.
 The bulk of the lumber cut goes to Premier for use in the reconstruction of the buildings destroyed in the recent fire and B. c. Silver is also a heavy consumer.
 With lumber demands far greater than ever before at this time of the year and with a summer of unprecedented mining activity in view, the company is apparently due to enjoy a decidedly prosperous year.

B. C. MoURNS PASSING
 OF MINISTER SLOAN

Hon. Wm. Sloan, provincial minister of mines since 1916 and one of British Columbia's most outstanding political fig ures, passed away in Victoria March l.. Death followed a stroke sustained a few hours previously while the minister was attending a theatre and from which he~failed to recov- CT consciousness.
 As head of the B. c. mines department, the deceased min- ister was an interchangeable worker for the advancement of the mining industry. Most noteworthy of his achieve ments while in office was the drastic remodelling of the min- ing laws to protect men engag- ed in legitimate mining and to guard the public from fake mining promotions. The im- provement of safety in coal mines was another outstand- ing effort which is said to have made the coal mines of B. c. the safest in the world.
 A practical miner himself and ardently devoted to the industry he represented, his passing is a great loss to the mining industry of the prov ince.
 Deceased was slightly over 60 years of age at the time of his passing. He is survived by a widow and two sons.

An artistically executed win dow sign now points out to the world and his brother the home of the Hyder Chamber of Commerce.
 Tn sign, placed on the glass of one of the big windows, by the transfer process, is the work of Dr. s. V. Warren, sec retary of the Chamber, and is a decidedly clever achievement in artistry and draughtsman- ship.
 Dr. Warren is planning to embellish the other window with a sign of similar design announcing the presence in the building of the Hyder Pub lie Library.
