SUCCESS DUE TO OFFICE STATIONERY

PARKER ROAD FROM HAMBURG

If it should turn out that MT. J. M. Parker,~ the promoter of the Arkan- sas, Louisiana and Gulf Railroad, should fail to secure money to build his road as originally contemplated, from Monroe, La, to. connection with the Rock Island at HaZen, as now seems probable, then there is still a chance left for Monticello, MT. Parker and the cities south of us to do something in the railroad busi- ness, which would be of untold bene- fit to northern Louisiana and south ern Arkansas.
 road in operation from Monroe La. to Hamburg, Arkansas, and as Ham burg is only little over 30 miles south of Monticello, it would not cost exceeding $300,000, at the outside, to bring this road on to Monticello. This would give our city Rock Is- land connection at Rolf Junction in Ashley county, would unite, by direct line, Monticello and Hamburg, and would give Monroe, La the advantage of the wholesale trade in our city, as well as that of Hamburg. Consid- ering the advantages of this road be- ing extended from Hamburg to Mon ticello, to Monroe, Bastrop, Hamburg and our city it looks like it might be easy to get these cities together on a proposition for such extension. If we can get the road this far it will be of great benefit and then perhaps it will go farther.-Monticello Mon ticellonian.

"THE FORTY-NINTH STAR"

In the current number of a week. ly, James Wickersham, delegate ill congress from Alaska, announces his intention of setting in motion at the earliest possible date the federal ma chinery in the interet of statehood for Alaska. Delegate Wickersham fortifies his announcement Nith some very interesting and informing facts which are supplemented by other writers in the same issue. It will be, however, in all probability long time before this great domain be- comes state. The more probable eventuality would appear to be-, in the distant future, many more than one state carved out of the imperial domain which equals in extent one- fifth the entire area of the United States and yet contains at the pres ent time only one-fifth as many peo- pie as there are in Kansas City, Mo-
 These interesting and dramatic eX- tremes spell long seasons of develop ment, despite the plausible argu- ment advanced for the admission of Alaska as state. It would seem that Arizona and New Mexico had reached the limit of desirability in the matter of numerical population, but each of these states has more than twice the 65,000 credited to Alaska. Yet in material resources Arizona and New Mexico combined are barren wastes in the desert in comparison with the marvellous treas ures sleeping in the earth in Alaska, only barely hinted by the production of the past few years.
 But as the vast size of Alaska anl it's sparsity of population mean long delay for development, so do it's al- most inexhaustible resources point the necessity Cor such development and lend weight to the conservation programme of President Taft and his advisers. Alaska cost cents an acre cn miles of territory. Mir. Wickersham points out that it has paid for itself twenty times over in fish alone and twenty-five times when the great ranges of the West are being cut up into productive farms and consumers are paying in consequence excessive prices for meat, Alaska has the great est cattle and sheep ranges in the country. It has more gold than Cal ifornia and Colorado; it has more coal than Pennsylvania; West Virgin. ia and Ohio; it has more copper thar Montana and Arizona or than Michi gan and Arizona; it has half as much coal as all the United State: put together; it has more fish thar all other American waters combined It is one-fifth the size of the United States and has 4,750 miles of coas line, as against 5,705 for the whole United States outside of Alaska.

CAN'T BREAK RANKS

There is little change in the local

ers' strike is concerned.
All of the seventy-five men who
went out are standing firm and the
count of their inability to keep up
with the orders. With only the fore
men and apprentices to rely upon
their case is certainly a desperate one.
AS direct result of the strike a
local cooperative leather goods fac
tory is about to be organized here in
Duluth. Three thousand dollars has
been subscribed to the project by the
Leatherworkers alone and enough is
in sight to ensure the future of the
enterprise. The total capitalization
IS set at $4,000, and the enterprise
has received the approval and sane
