Will Rebuild Cannery-

Owners Of the large salmon can- lnery at Kvichak which burned to the groA.l last summer are planning to begin rebuilding this spring, accord ing to Pilot Matt Flensburg of Dill lingham. A few men are now at the site and more are expected soon to begin the rebuilding. It is understood the company plans to build a plant of five fast lines. The one which burned had 10 lines, one of the larg- fest in Alaska. It burned with a loss .of approximately a million dollars. From a study of the salmon cycle, 'fhere is evidence of a fine fishing season this summer in the region of Nushagak, Flensburg said. The Country is beginning to open up but won't see much activity until the Scannery workers start to come in.

1 Insurance Firms Being Formed

Insurance Firms Being Formed
 Formation of insurance companies which are entirely Alaskan organiza- tions will develop as a result of laws passed by the Territorial Legislature regulating insurance firms, J. c. Morris, president of the Alaska Mu- tual Benefit Association, predicted recently. 'sTo date there have been no Territorial laws regulating in suranee organizations" MT Morris said. SSuch laws have now been passed and I predict the formation of organizations within the Territory, thereby keeping in Alaska part of the S2,00O, 900 each yearwhich goes to Outside insurance firms" Mr. Morris predicted the development would see firms organized in all branches of insurance, including life, acident, fire and marine.

some method is found to curb the
passage Of so many laws. In Penn
sylvania, it is reported that on the
last day for introducing new bills
more than two thousand were pro-
posed, the result being that it was
physically impossible to handle them
in the routine way. Our representative
body at Annapolis is not quite so
prolific but enough laws have been
introduced to fill many books. Would
MT it be good idea to make each
lawmaker find some law for repeal in
order to- make room for law he
sponsors? This, at least, would pre-
vent any increase.

But suppose all this land were TAX
en- in. After few years near every
one would be broke. Would they all
not have to go to the Alm-House ?
Does ones mind not vision these farm
ers, the good people of West End
Park, those of Horner's lane, Lincoln
Park. Haiti; and large portion now
resident in town,-do you not see Doc
Trail, Frank Karn and Wade Magru-
der, top sergeants, whipping them in
line so we would have good parade?
And would not the town wag cry out
"Coxey's army is back again?" And
preparatory to all of this, Blandford
would have his day. Would not that
building out there have to be enlarg-
ed to accommodate six hundred form
er property holders? Would there not
be fine lot of plumbing, and would
not the automobile men have sale for
fifty Fords and fifty Dodges? Ger
tainly that number would be needed
to bring that crowd to town on cleo
ton day.
AS the inmates of that home have
their supplies free, have a though OF
the beauty parlors that would have to
be placed out there in the annex.
Surely three or four more lingerie
shops would come to town. How many
decks of cards for the ladies for their
rubber at Bridge? None for men, as
every one would be broke, for no one
plays poker for fun. Some more drug
stores too, would be needed. Doc Vim
son would never be able to supply the
necessary cosmetics. The inmates,
through the purchasing agent, would
wear him and Russell out. A thousand
crayons to pencil the eye brows, lip
stick, and a livid tint for the cheeks
that make them companion color OF
the roof of Frederick County Barn.
And there must be some croquet
lawns. tennis courts, and ten million
tomato cans would have to be remov-
ed to fit out an eighteen hole golf
course, and we would have some
more stores for brassies and golf
balls and knee pants and other slip
ons.
And then, after a while, we would
have some one else in place of Char
ley King, as high superintendent.
They say one superintendent was dis
posed toward corn slower, and that
another had a ravenous appetite for
cabbage plants. When the big crowd
takes up its residence, and a real
superintendent comes in under that
fine field for his endeavor, I am clos
ing right here, wondering what will
be his prediction what the
tax rate?
| And where is the man whose
travel takes him by that gate OF those
who sit by the wayside, whose hear
is so flinted that fails to let fall foa
them a tear-and what will be his
and their poignancy of distress if that
line keeps apace with his journey?

There would be thousands and tens


There would be thousands and tens
of thousands of dollars expended for
extension of water and sewer lines.
Today, the town is trying to buy land
for additional water. Today, the dis
posal plant is not satisfactory, and a
yery expensive one would need be
built, especially so if its erection
takes in that magnitude desired by a
lot of theorists. Would not the town
fathers do some grading? Is their
idea they will put down some eight to
ten miles of new roads in these var
ious subdivisions of ten thousand
lots?
You would need many employees
some poor, some fair, some sixty per
cent good-If sixty per cent good,
would not they be forty per cent bad ?
Would your town not have to pay
their salaries and for all their errors :?
I understand a very nice roadway
can be placed for about forty dollars
($4O,OOO) per mile. On whose farm
are those roadways to be placed :?
Who knows but the idea will prevail
that each of the farmers whose land
would be ccnfscated would have a
just quota of road, each part of his
not connected, with an understanding
they are to have mud-holes in be-
tween? Don't think that silly. Did not
our wiser minds do that on the Veirs
Mill road?
have ever been mindful Of what
a New Hampshire Yankee, who was
good enought to give me his friend
ship, said to me: "Veirs, one thing
leads to another, be careful of compli-
Gated under taxings for they are near
always disastrous" And so I say, in
my thoughtful opinion, the present
property holders Of Rockville would
make tremendous mistake if the
corporation limits were enlarged as
proposed. At the meeting lot of
foolishness was suggested that the
town should be enlarged because
many living out of town had town
water and sewage. Those users paid
every expense incident to that use,
and if any one is to be criticised for
that, it should fall on the shoulders of
the town council.
Again, for that meeting postal
notices were sent to town residents to
be present, when those outside, whose
property was to be taken, had no
notice. Is that not case of packing
the court? And how about that vote
being taken? What right has one to
say another shall be his partner in
debt? The insiders voted the outsid-
ers just had to come in. Does girl
not have the right to refuse MARI
age? If that were not so, a lot q
bachelors would have wives. And
again, about that vote. / saw on
man of short stature, an insider, whit
has failed in all his business efforts
hold his hand up so high, he looke'
like he was twice as tall as Sin
Summerville of motion picture fame
And what is the sum and substanc
of that kind of mans business judg
ment? Against one of reasonable sue
cess, his light is but as the glow Q

lis like that of farm bureau or Cour
ty agent who are double tracked an

to Government establishments does not
signify any policy to divert naval con-
struction away from private industry. A
section of the Vinson-Trammell act pro-
viding for completion of a treaty fleet by
1924 contemplates that half of the new
ships shall be built privately. The Navy
Department is convinced that the con-
Germs which rendered for the Washington
and the North Carolina made an honest
effort to get the business and only lost
1t because of the inability Of private
industry to operate as cheaply as Uncle
Sam is in position to do.
The technical skill of its shipyards-of
engineers, constructors and artisans-is
one of the prides as we'll as one of the
vital adjuncts of the United States Navy.
Some OF the most powerful of our capital
ships now in commission are products of
these well conducted Government plants.
Washlngtonians have special interest
in the new battleship construction about
to be undertaken, because the bulk of the
work on their mighty 16-inch guns will
be done at the Navy Yard that lies within

foundry are world-famed and help to

Better Stamps.

Criticism OF stamps never has been
limited to the philatelic fraternity. On
the contrary, the general public INDUCED
its privilege to be dissatisfied with even
the first adhesive label ever printed
the celebrated penny black issue of
Great Britain, 1840. In America the
Government was obliged to withdraw
the series of 1869 because Of complaints
received from all parts of the country
against the designs reproduced in the
set. The beautiful Columbian Exposi-
ton commemorative" of 1893 we're
thoroughly slammed by malcontents
who discovered malicious pleasure in
pointing out that the grand admiral had
grown beard overnight-the one-cent
denomination portrayed him starkly
clean-shaven; the two-cent with a mag
niflcent array of whiskers!
And the protests continue unto this
present day. The recent National Stamp
Conference discussed grievances against
the quality of paper, the ink, the rotary
presses. the perforation machines en-
ployed in the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing. Leading collectors and phila-
telic writer's, joining in the debate, meta
phorically took the whole existing sys-
TEN Of stamp production to pieces. It
was disclosed that the Post Once De.
partment had formally dled . brde9
