POSSIBILITIES OF ALASKA.

The New York Journal Of Commerce
had the following:
Secretary Fisher of the department
Of the interior. after an extended TRIP
Of observation In Alaska, delivered ar
address before the American Minine
congress at Chicago last week on
Alaskan Problems, in which he said
that he found Alaska "a country OF
great mineral and agricultural posi-
bilities." In fact, he thought he should
go further and say that 1t was a coun-
try Of great mineral and agricultural
probabilities, needing development and
inviting development. but held back
chiefly by inadequate transportation
facilities and inadequate laws" What
Alaska needs more than anything
else" he said. els g. trunk line railroad
from the ocean to the great interior
valleys Of the Yukon and the Tanana,
opening up the country so that its flu
ture development may really be posi-
ble."
There are vast deposits of copper
already known to exist in the territory,
and one of the pressing needs" is the
construction Of smelters at which the
copper ore can be smelted without the
labor and expense of transporting the
ore the enormous distances now neces-
sary for this purpose" This would
follow the establishment of transpor-
tation facilities, and exploitation and
commercial development Of these ores
would probably follow the construc-
ton and operation Of these smelters.' .
Mr.. Fisher thinks that Alaskan coal is
'of great value" but says that ''its ex :
tent and character have been much ex-
aggerated." The Bering river field
near Controller bay. upon which the
Cunningham claims were located, is
the better known. but the Matanuska
field is larger and may prove more i'm
portant Here, too, the great need Is
means Of transportation. In the Sec
retary's judgment "the present mar
ket for Alaskan coal Is limited and
uncertain" but the demand will prob
ably increase as the country IL devel-
oped.'
He favors the leasing system for
government coal lands, but all ques-
lions Of development come back to the
necessity of railroad facilities. with
these the development would start UP
and proceed. With the development
the railroad facilities would be pro-
vided How is the process to begin ?
II private capital had control Of min
eral lands 1t might have the incentive
for providing both smelter and rail-
roads. II might provide railroads II 1t
had the inducement OF being able to do
the developing Of mineral resources
for its own profit. IL the government
holds on to the resources, viii It pro-
vide the railroad facilities and adapt
its leading system not only to mining
operations but TO transportation? AS
to that Secretary Fisher saith not,
but he remarks: IF q government
railroad Is desirable now in the fu-
ture there is ample opportunity for it,
There is much virtue in IT." but 1t
leaves the chief Alaskan problem un-
solved.

scHooL SOCIAL cENTERs.

Gov. woodrow Wilson. President
Van Hise Of the University Of wiscon-
sin, the Rev. Josiah Strong OF New
York and many other prominent men
attended the recent meeting held at
Madison, Wis., for the promotion OF
the general use OF school buildings as
social and civic centers.
In discussing the plan to center life
OF every community about its school
buildings Governor Wilson expressed
the opinion that the accomplishment
OF such purpose would do much to
make America a real democracy. He
said:
The life of community is affected
by a union Of its elements. a fusion OF
It's parts. If classes have sense of
separation from each other. IL the
several interests in state or city are
hostile, If men strive to put one an
other at disadvantage, there is not
life but the exercise OF interests de-
structive to life. A community cannot
be made or served in such fashion.
Mutual aid cannot be brought about
except by sharing q common life
This is the significance Of movement
like this, which seeks to make the
school the civic center OF the commun-
ity. BY the free intercourse II pro-
notes 1t breaks down misunderstand-
ing, Ii effects O genuine release OF the
real common feeling.
The inevitable result IL accomrno-
dalton Of interests, a softening Of RI
valries, a feeling for common under
takings, removal of pretudices, an
adjustment which must lie at the bas-
is Of social construction and reform.
The old law of our life, which produc-
ed such unhappy results, particularly
in politics, was the law OF plans. form
ed in privacy, OF interests segregated,
and concentrated by the private exer-
else OF power. and the social center
principles Of modern political reform
The remedy for private and selfish
management is publicity.
Every schoolhouse in America should
contain a working library open to the
public. 1t should be available for all
sorts of harmless social gatherings Of
a harmless nature-and should be op-
en- to meetings. where questions Of
general interest to the community can
be discussed.
The old idea of having school and
church buildings shut up when COM
munities stand badly in need Of as
sembly halls is fast being exploded.
Religion and education are far broad
er than class recitations and formal
church services. The world is rapidly
awakening to the necessity for
broader sympathy between all classes
in every community.

candidate for governor. IT'S we'll and

Geo. e. Duis OF Grand Forks and Col

The insurgents are busy organ
