HOME TRADE FOR ALASKA TOWNS

Under the above caption. the Ketchikan Mining Journal struck the nail squarely on the head when it said:
 "The slightest investigation will prove that Alaska is a rich field for the big mail order houses. This is a great misfortune to all classes, not alone those who are in business, but that larger class who work for wages. If we are to found pros- porous communities, the business men, the professional men and the wage earners must all unite in the work of making the town, and un- less this is done it is useless to ex- pect favorable results. What makes town is the homes in it, not of the merchants, but of all classes. To be q good community in which to live, the town must have all the advantages of civilization, which only can come from united home builders. It is an old adage that united, We stand; divided, we fall," and this applies in town- building with greater force than in almost any other line. To be uni- ted, we must commence at the very foundation and build up the home trade. If you are in the grocery business and you send to the mail order houses for your shoes and clothing, you are injuring yourself as we'll as your neighbor who sells shoes or clothing. You injure your self by setting 8 bad example, which other dealers will be likely to follow. If you are a wage earner you should stand by your town, for that will help to make all kinds of business prosperous, and prosperity brings about permanent employ ment as we'll as good wages in all lines.
 What we need and must have is a broader spirit in all matters, fuller confidence in our fellow townsmen and in our town. Put aside bickerings and that spirit of

 jealousy which dwarfs our natures, destroys our usefulness and iniures the community in which ~a live Let the new life be commenced by being loyal to ourselves and the business interests of the commun- ity. Shun the mail order houses, for many good reasons; first, be- cause we nearly always get inferior goods, and, second, the money we send to these concerns never comes hack to us; on the contrary, the money we pay our local merchants is put in circulation in the oom- munity, and finally much of it finds its way back to us."

AN ARRAY OF FACTS
(Boston Alaskan)

Alaskan matters probably never will be adequately managed by congress until there is formed in both senate and house a permanent committee on Alaskan affairs, sim. liar to the senate committee now having charge of matters connected with the Philippines. In the mean while, Alaska has some needs that she looks to the government to supply, prominently among which are two which, when met, will be the cause of attracting settlers and colonists to the district, to wit: Federally supervised transportation facilities and properly surveyed homestead lands. Alaska will ob- tain these privileges when congress comes to fully recognize the impor- tance of the vast territory which even may makers in the past have seen fit to dwarf and cause to ap- pear insignificant by drawing the district to smaller scale than the rest of the United States.
 The enterprise that the Canadian government is showing in the ex- ploitation of its provinces of Mani toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta ought to be an object lesson to the United States. Conditions for set clement there are made 80 attract. tive that a continually increasing stream of immigration is flowing from the western states across tho border. The United States cannot afford to supinely allow the deplc- tion of its population to the extent to which Canada is drawing from Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota and neighboring states. It is stated that 5000 Americans filed claims 10 land in the Canadian Northwest last year, which is equivalent to saying that more than 100000 per sons left the protection of the Stars and Stripes to take up residence under the British flag. Yet ten years before, in 1896, only forty nine Americans left the United States to settle on the Canadian public lands. A similar ratio of increase for the next decade, were it possible, would more than twice depopulate the nation.
 Less than a quarter of a century ago the Northwest Territory of Can- ada, the country from which Sas- katchewan and Alberta have been carved, was considered little more than a bowling wilderness today, the wheat fields of that section, though practically it's only com mercial asset, are contributing the grain toward the worlds bread to the extent of ninety million bushels a year, an amount which it is ex- pected will be trebled by the time additional transportation facilities now being installed are completed.
 The natural conditions of many parts of Alaska exceed several times those obtaining in the new Canadian provinces. Government agricultural experiments have proved beyond doubt that immense areas of Alaska are capable of rais- ing wheat and other grains, so that in this industry the American dis trict can meet the Canadian prov

That rock which stands in this harbor, just east of Point Shakesty, should either be blown out with dynamite or have . buoy placed upon it for the benefit of strangers coming into the anchorage. Many times people unacquaiuted with the bay have been warned away from that rock, and a few dollars spent in blowing it out or marking it with spar might save property and, possibly, life. Besides it would make strangers feel that the towns. people appreciate their visits.
