Juneau is the natural center for the trade of Chatham Strait. She many miles nearer the ports adong that st h of water than Ketchikan, For many years the peo-| ple of that region have wanted a regular week ly service with Juneau.

THE CANADIAN WHEAT POOL. We are told that one of the things that took Premier Baldwin of Great' Britain to Western Canada was to study the operations and effect of an Wheat Pool, the largest co-operative Last year wheat and bushels of | was more that these the Canad organization of farmers in the world it handled 200,000,000 bushels of between 20,000,000 and 30,000,000 other grains. The monetary turn-o than $300,000,000 It is expected figures will be exceeded this year. Mr. Baldwin will discover, if he makes his investigation thorough, that not only has the Wheat Pool contributed to the prosperity of Canada, but it has helped the wheat farmers on the American side of the line. The control of such a large quantity of wheat has had an important bearing on wheat throughout the world. The Canadian Wheat Pool is a practical dem- onstration of the wisdom of the suggestions of B. M. Baruch, the New York financier, who investigatd the American agricultural marketing problems at the request of Kansag wheat farmers a few years ago. He told them that they could fix the price of their products if they would co- operate, and he recommended a plan similar to that subsequently adopted in Canada. He 5 strongly opposed to governmental interference. prices The consolidation of newspapers is rule throughout the United States. New newspaper directories show town after town of 20,000 or 30,000 population with but one newspaper, and that is the prevailing condition in towns of less population. sven the large cities have been profiting from the consolidating epidemic. Seat- tle, Tacoma, Spokane, Portland and other West- the ern cities have had but one morning and two evening papers for many years. Now other and Jarger cities are eliminating. papers. St. Louis, Cleveland and Pittsburgh, and other cities have but one morning and two evening papers each. In many of the smaller towns the morning newspapers are being swallowed up by the even- ing papers and put out of the way. The latest consolidation of that sort to come to our notice js Olympia, Washington, a town of 14,000 or 15,000 population, where the Morning Olympian, and Evening Recorder were consolidated and will be continued as the Daily Olympian, printed as press have been eliminated through consolidations _ within the last few years. The cost of running a newspaper in these days has reached a point where it is unprofit- able to attempt it in a crowded field. LEANING UPON A DEFECTIVE MEMORY.

(New York fnuouncement by the Western Company that it contemplates laying a| cable across the Pacific is another sign that! America's relations with the East are each year| becoming There is at present but one| line- which connects the two worlds. This is| owned by the Commercial Pacific Cable Company | and by Japanese and Dutch interests. Its ca-f pacity is said to be only one hundred letters| whereas the type of cable which thé| Western Union proposes to lay can carry letters a minute The exact route has not yet been determined. One proposal is to parallel the Commercial Pacific Compa y's line, which runs from San Francisco to Hawaii and via Midway Island to Guam. There it branches in three, going over the Bonin Islands to Japan, another to the Philippines and a third to Yap, splits, one branch to turn Shanghai nd the other to the Dutch st Indies. Hol- land now owns this line and Japan the Shanghai Times.) Union Tele- as well as the Bonin line The other proposal is to lay a cable along the “‘great circle” running from Seattle to Sitka, Aleutian Islands; thence toeJapan, and so and Manila This would require with the Japanese. Although there certain technical disadvantages in the to Shanghai negotiations are said to be in this route, it shorter than the other by about 3,000 miles. That would mean a great saving in the cost of installation. Of greater public interest than the route is the fact tha the cable company apparently believes that there will be-enough business to justify the great out lay of capital. Presumably the new cable would be able to offer cheaper rates. This would cer- tainly induce more business. The high cost of cables and radios between the Orient and Ocei dent has long been a hindrance to trade and to a better understanding between the peoples on both sides of the ocean. Press rates are still} sions made by the American station in the Philip- pines and by the Japanese company in Japan To the lay mind will naturally occur the question of the effect of radio on the new ‘cable venture. New inventions will probably make possible radio transmission that is at the same time cheap and sure, But there are political obstacles in the way of radio development which hard to overcome. This is especially true regard to China. Japan obtained from the Chinese Ministry of the Navy a monopoly of Chinese radio stations transmitting messages to America or Japan, and has so far prevented American interests from enforcing an agreement entered into with the Chinese Ministry of Com- are with munications by the Federal Telegraph Company of California for the erection of a high power station at Shanghai and secondar stations in Harbin, Peking and Canton Japan, in this in- stance, has been backed by British and Danish cable and radio interests.

(Seward Gateway.) do have an idea what may fiappen to the man, signing as Walter Jackinsky, Treasurer of the Ninilchic School to a copy of an alleged letter published in the July 2 issue of the Industrial Worker, Seattle. The article or letter: Here's a chance for an L W. W. ,school teacher to spend a few months in Alaska and at the same time earn a neat little income. The Ninilchic, Al- aska, school has asked the Industrial Worker to advertise for’a Wobbly school teacher, about 25 years old, to teach nine months at $150 per month. If any one knows of a teacher who would like to take on this proposition, write to Walter Jackins Treasurer of nil- chic School, Ninilchic, Alaska . . . Think of it!
