ship We think, in the interests Of
both justice and the British mercan-
tile marine, there should also be an
inquiry under the British board Of
trade.
THE fair fame Of British shipping
cannot be left in foreign hands and
the case of the Titanic showed that
an American court Of inquiry does
not follow lines acceptable to this
country. We make no criticism or
complaint on that score. We merely
say that as serious charges have
been made against the handling and
equipment of a British ahip, the case
should be considered and the truth

Fleischacker interests, which cor 2ern is all powerful, push the Alas kan project, even as they did the Dc liar Steamship Company project. md which they own and control al- ways.
 Adequate purchases by the public will. ultimately bring the pulp mills, but possibly not the paper mills as it may prove better to haui the pulp to the centrally located mills such as Angeles or Townsend, or possibly Olympia, with the Odls against the latter named place be- cause of unsatisfactory harbOrs.
 Result to Alaska if successfl.i will be depression while if successful, as is likely, it will be much as is Powell River, Ocean Falls, and otE- ci pulp towns, city within city or near by-much as Garden CitT or Chatinika is to Fairbanks-mucj. as Kennecott is to COrdOva.
 Only Alaska herself can ever hope tn develop Alaska for the Guggen, hoims, the Fleischacker's the Zel- ierback's & Co.,, will do no more so than the former has developed Gkagway, White Horse, Cordova, Latouche, Fairbanks. It does not )rk that way.
 Yet we are poor sports if We d. not stand for pulp mills, and pro perty rights in Alaska, even with ort taxation. We must be submis- sive, and be satisfied with the crumbs that fall from the tables.
 Of course we could own those tables as easily as they-if we did n't remain in Alaska.

,PurUeyors of Water
Carry HeaUy Loads

Around a fountain In one of the
principal squares Of Quito assemble
every morning the city's aguadores.
These water porters differ from the
less energetic ones of some South
American cities in carrying their jars
upon their backs instead of on the
backs OF mules. Their earthen jars
are deep, have a wide mouth and hold
about 40 liters.
The porter carries the Jar on his
shoulder, fastened with leather straps.
He never detaches himself from his
Jar either to fill 1t or to transfer its
contents to that of his customer. He
turns his back to the fountain so that
the jar comes under one of the jets
OF water, listens to the sound of the
water in the jar, and his ear Is so
we'll trained that he always walks
away at the exact moment when It is
filled to the brim.
Arriving at the house of q customer
he goes to the household jar makes a
deep bow and disappears behind a
torrent of water. Foreigners can
never receive without laughing the
visit of their aguador, the respectful
little man who bows TO one behind a
cataract of water.-Washlng Star

the equity courts of Canada departed

of issuing injunctions designed to tie

bitrary power mainly to take away
from the workers rights and privil-

"While there might be some doubt
about the constitution following its

privilege following it's dollars. Own
