Horoscope l'The stars incline
 but do not compel"
WEDNESDAY, APRIL I, 1886

l With the beginning of this month come rumors of war preparations in which the British Empire leads. Great expenditures for army, navy l and air forces in the United States are forecast. On this All Fools Day benefic aspects dominate, accord inge to astrology.
 Under this rule of the stars lead CTS in both business and politics will gain confidence. The aspects presage certan entrenchment for persons who have attained position or power
 This is an suspicious time to pro- mote any sort of enterprise and should be fortunate for candidates for public office. Many political sur prises are prognasticated.
 Both Republican and Democratic delegations to national conventions will reveal unusual line-ups in which young men and young wo- men are conspicuous.
 While this configuration contin- ues there should be tendency to- wards frankness and directness in meeting public or private exigen- cies. Truth is to prevail in an am aging degree. Scandals and dishon- esty in many lines of human activi- ty are forecast, but they will be un- covered.
 This is sway in which old fueds may be revived and ancient preju- dices remembered. Impersonal view points should be cultivated as the spring opens with promise of pros- perity.
 King Edward VIII is subject to direction of the stars that presages tremendous changes in the nations over which he rules. By the time the planet leaves Taurus in 1922 it is prophesied that the entire fin ancial structure of England will be recast.
 Evil communications of many sorts are probable under this plane tary government Gossip should be avoided, but it will be difficult to prevent an epidemic of false reports.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of progress and good fortune. Speculation and bet ting should be avoided.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be fond of the pleasant things of life. Subjects of this sign of Aries usually love color and beau ty.
 Edwin A. Abbey, painter, was born on this day in 1852 Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Otto von Bismarck, first Chancel- Tor of the German Empire, 1915: William Mulready, Irish genre painter, 1786; Edward Askew Soth- ern, actor, 1926. Copyright, 1936)

THE NORTHWARD MIGRATION.

Cities and communities of Alaska, concerned as well they might be the influx of job seekers to the North again this spring entering protest against misleading advertising in the States which give many of the uninformed the idea they easily get job if they can but scrape up the money to to the Territory. Such situation is unfortu- nate and is bound to bring hardship in many n- stances Not only will the communities suffer if too many without resources come looking for work that isn't available but the individuals themselves who quest to land will be disillusioned Coupled with the fact that Federal relief discontinued for lack of funds it is indeed an unfortunate circum- stance.
 But there is another side to the picture which is too often overshadowed by the immediate problem. What country state territory went forward without population? They didn't pick and choose the people that migrated by covered wagon across the plains to seek gold in California in 49. They all went west the rich and the poor the industrious and the bum. The crowd follows the tide of empire and the crowd is made up of all kinds Under force of cir cumstances they all somehow find their niche. Many return disappointed and failures others stay to win success and achieve
 The migration to Alaska that is if we want migra- ton, which seems to be popular thought is bound to be like all others of history. The bad must be taken with the good From the grain the chaff will
 
 forward did the western states.
 The pressure of actual existence is often the mother of invention and those coming north who have what it takes will be able to find ways and means of livelihood. The others will return some how from whence they came.
 The humanitarian position of those authorities throughout the Territory who today attempting to stem the flow of ms-informaton is laudable No one with an ounce of human blood in his veins wants to see people sarve and face unnecessary hardship with which they are not familiar It is absolutely a first essential that we in the North keep pounding on the fact that resources prime requisite for ing to Alaska. There many who will take heed The ones that do not, can not be stopped any way. And again is but natural for want to protect our own people by giving them the first opportunity employment. But it cannot be overlooked that those coming today the who may be first 20 years from now.
 Surely the fight for education and correct infor- maton must be carried on It is only fair to the people that live here and those that want to come here to make their homes But since the beginning of time, the peoples of the earth have migrated They Will continue to migrate until the end Trying to stop them is like trying to stop the tide.

 It is Germanys turn to display her good faith Europe IS on edge because it believes that the old policy of blood and iron more prevails It is to Germany's interest to give evidence that the olive branch she offers is though it was tend cred on the point of a a bayonet
