President. Harding’s visit to
Alaska should bestir national in
terest in a realm to which tho
American imagination has been
strangely apathetic For decades
after the territory was acquired
from Kussin, in the late eighteen
sixties, for the song of seven mil
lion, two hundred thousand dol
lars, it lay well-nigh forgotten by
Washington, and of no more con
cern to the rank ami file of its
owners than the mountains in the
moon. Yet it is not only a fifth as
large as the entire area of the
Union’s eight and forty states, but
also is packed witli treasure.
Gold, silver, copper, zinc, anti-
mony aud tungsten it has in abun-
dance. It is rioh, too, in deposits
of coal, including bituminous anrl
lignite, and has qh unexplored
wealth of petroleum. Its mineral
output for last year amounted to
almost three times its purchase
price
of thirty-four million, seven hun
dred thousand dollars were ship
ped from its shores in 1922, while
exports of furs usually add many
millions more. As to forosts, it is
estimatsd that with due conserva
tion they will support permanent
ly a pulp and paper industry ca
pable of supplying one-third of
the total present domand for such
products in the United Mates.
These are but g'impses into Alas
ka’s natural wealth. The vaster
portion of which still lies unpath-
ed and belike undreamed.
Strange indeed it is that Ameri
cans have been So lilllo interested
in this iramonso property of theirs
as not oven to provide for its effi
cient administration nor for the
rights of those of thoir fellow
citizens who have gone as trail-
blazers and builders of its far
frontiers Since tho oensus of
1910 the population has been
dwendling; ten thousand persons
left the territory betwoen that
year and 1920. Its inhabitants
now number some sixty thousand,
of whom about one-half are whites
the others being for the most part
Indians and Eskimos. Moreover,
the total commerce has declined
from one hundred and six million
dollars in 1920 to sxity three mil
lion in 1921; and 1922, though in
dicating improvement over the
year before, is far short of the bet
ter record. Evidently, there
need for study of Alaskan,
torests
The greatest single step for the
promotion of those interests was
the building of the government
railroad from Seward to Fairbanks
a distance of four hundred and
sixty-seven miles, Under-taken uj
the early part of the ^ilscn ad
ministiation, (his enterprise has
just now been brought to comple
tion. It betides, eventually, a de
velopmept of resources and a
growth of industry and trad.o that
will mafco tho territory one of tho
busiest regioiip of the .‘for north
west. .But firatmust come high
ways and trails to encourage set
tlement and to servo as feeders to
the railroad itself.
J nvestigators for the department
of interior report; “Tho partial
stagnation of mining in tho terri-
ritory is due to decrease in popu
lation, inability lo transport min
ing machinery over the poor roads
and trails, and lack of capital to
sink shafts in mines- Evidence of
petroleum iri Alaska exists in
many regions, hut difficulties in
transportation have prevented
drilling on on extensive scale.’’

lasting gratitude of all men,

something style will accept in the
way of a convenient piece of
furniture to sit near the door up
on which men’s hats and coats
can be thown down and not

The school is for boys and girls. We have nice dormitories sep-
erae, and good trained teachers to help the pupils in their work.
The school is conducted on the merit system and every effort is
made to develop good moral character.

HOW TO BE A NUT
Take a palm leaf fan and go out
and sit under a beech tree, and
you can then imagine that you
are at “Hal in Beach”. But you

It’s queer, thinks Bill how a
man cap Work for t wenty years
without missing a day for his
business, then retire and become
a chronic invalid.
The goal of an education is acquired facts related to actual life
needs.
This is a vocational school and seekn to develop a well rounded
character, the head, the hand, the heart.
An able faculty is in charge of the school and take an interest in
the pupils.
We have a Teacher Training Course for the seniors and those
who successfully complete the oouree, will be granted a license by th©
State School Superintendent, which will be recognition in any county
;u the state. The tuition is free and board is reasonable.

The man who drives his car out
on a Sunday or a holiday and
gets home without having been in
a smash up has no right to say that
the day of miracles is past.
Bill says most business trouble
starts from workers who don’t

or Joafers who don’t do either.
