WHY ALAsKANs ARE PLEASED

Delegate wickersham is quoted in a Tacoma dispatch to The Empire as saying that President-elect Wilson's administration will favor a railroad from some point on the coast to the interior; and also the development of the coal fields of Alaska. Therefore, says the Delegate, the people of Alas ka are pleased with the election of Mir Wilson.
 That the Democratic administra. tion will encourage the opening up and development of the coal fields Of Alaska is undoubted Some plan will be devised that will settle this yexatious question, and, it is hoped, settle it equitably.
 Alaskans have waited long and with what patience they could muster the opening up of the coal measures of the territory. Too long have they been paying tribute to a foreign country for an inferior quality of coal The situation forced upon the people has been little short of dis, graceful and iniquitous.
 Alaskans have been prevented from mining their own coal and the miner or prospector of the interior has borne an unjust burden by being taxed for the wood that he has burned to keep himself warm, or prosecute his work These are are some of the reasons why the Alaska people are pleased with the election of Mir. Wilson. They would have been pleased with the election of anyone that gave hope of relief.
 Rail transportation from the coast to the interior is needed for the de- velopment of the great interior coun- try-rich in mineral, agricultural and other resources. This is a question that demands careful attention, and the report of the railroad commis, sion may outline a way that such a work can be undertaken and carried to completion.

School Farming
 in Alaska

The school farm government of penetrated Alaska From the school at Klukwan, in Southern Alaska. come abasket of potatoes, turnips, car- rots, and other vegetables consigned to the United States Bureau of Edu. cation. Several of the products are of size and weight that would be remarkable in a far more propitious climate than that of Alaska.
 The school at Klukwan is one of S1 public schools for natives main taiued by the Bureau of Education in Alaska. In a number of these garden. ing is carried on with distinct profit to the school and community The teacher from Shungnak, within the Arctic Circle, reports that he super vised the making of IT native gar dens and four large school gardens. He instructed the school children and adults in soaking seed, planting cut ting potato eyes, spading, hoeing rak- ing, thinning, weeding, transplanting, watering,-in fact, in all the opera ions necessary for successful garden ing. One-third of an acre he set apart as a model garden; on this ne ey- perimented with different products and eventually obtained a good sup ply of vegetables for use in cooking classes. Radishes, turnips, peas, ru- tabagas, carrots, beets, cabbages, po- tatoes, lettuce, kohl.rabi, parsnip, and a few other vegetables did well in this Arctic garden; onions, beans and cucumbers were successful.
 At Eagle, Fort Yukon, Unalaska, and Klawock similar results in gar dening are reported. In Unalaska the school farm at first contained only a few plats of rye and wheat, and some Kitchen vegetables, but this year a more ambitious experiment was made. The children not only worked a school garden in which each had a patch of his own, but also cul- tivated a larger farm at some distance from the school.
 Although the season is short in these Alaska settlements, the vege- tables often attain good growth In Klukwan the temperature ranges S1 in summer to 27 below zero in win. ter. At Klawock the children were able to begin preparing their ground by the first of April, and elsewhere many of the vegetables were in by May
 The work in school gardening H. lustrates the general principle on which the government is working in the schools of Alaska-that educa- tion shall be something more than mere schooling; that 1t shall be pre- paration for the life the natives have to lead. Sewing, cooking, and carpen- try are prominent subjects in the schools. "The education of the na- tives of Alaska" says a recent report of the Bureau of Education, is con ceived as meaning their advancement

VILE, FOREIGN COAL.

There may be worse coal than that which the people of Juneau are com. pelled to use. but candor and truth fitness compel the statement that for worthlessness it cannot be beaten. It is only half coal any way; the major portion is ash and clinker, and the stovepipe which carries away the smoke must be cleaned every two or three days there literally is mo thing doing" in the way of heat; while the smoke is stifHing and the dust in a steady down-pour.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES:

The banquet which the CommercraI Club proposes 60 give on the evening of Jan. r. ought to be a success, The object is a most excellent one. l. is designed to get the business men Of the town together and renew acquain- tanees. so to speak. and culuvate the spirit Of friendliness and cheortulness. It should be the means of developing latent optimism and eradicatinS grouches. iC any there be. It should be productive Of good in other ways. No town or community can prosper where each man is pulling on sepa- rate string. Civic pride is excel lent. and the only way to get it is to cultivate 1t. nurse it. take care Of 1t and push 1t along. Unity is ab- solutely necessary to progress: and any towns progress may be meas ured by the enterprise of it's citizens.
 The growth-legitimate growth--oS many a town has been checked by the petty jealousies and contentious spirit Of it's citizens. And then they wonder what the matter may be. when they see other communities forging to to the front.
 There is no use for dead men. They are put away when life ceases. and a dead town may be placed in the same category. It is soon laid away in the limbo of forgetfulness.
 Juneau's future progress will de- pend almost entirely upon it's citi- zens. Don't forget this fact.

 One day, perhaps, the people of Alaska will be permitted to mine their own coal, but until then, 1t would seem as though the faces had decreed that We must grin and bear it"

LET THE WOMEN VOTE.

We are told that the first territor' ial legislature of Alaska will be asked to tackle the woman suffrage ques- ton. and give the women of the ter. ritory the opportunity to cast their ;otes with their fathers. husbands and brothers. Without having examined the organic act creating the Alaska legislature in this respect, we as- sume that the legislature has this power conferred upon it, Its powers are exceedingly limited, at the best, but if it shall appear that the terri torial assembly has no such power, then let an attempt be made to in- crease the scope of it's legislative powers in this and other important particulars.
 There is no adequate reason why the women of Alaska should not be permitted to vote on all questions. In other words they should be given full and equal rights with the male sex in the matter of voting. In every other way they now enjoy equal rights. A country's intelligence is measured by it's treatment of wom. en, and in no country of the world do the opposite sex receive the same courtesy and consideration as do the women of America. Nine states of the Union have enfranchised them and in none of the states where wom. en have been voting for years do the people desire a change.
 Therefore let the women of Alas ka have the right to vote. They will use it with as much intelligence as the average man.

DO the American people ad-
mire pluck?
Is loyalty to ones own a quail
ty to win approval?
Would you care to live in city
which was dead to all feelings
Of local pride?
Look at San Diego and read
the answer.
Since the world learned that
this city of 10000 people had
subscribed a million as capital
stock to the Exposition; had
voted bonds for buildings and
I improvements in connection with
the Exposition to the amount Of
another million; had won the
backing of the State Legislature
! to the extent of half a million;
had voted harbor improvement
bonds for a million, and had done
many other things to prove it's
possession of public spirit and
enterprise; since word went
abroad of these things, there has
been a great tide Of travel to
San Diego and last year 5000
houses were built in the city to
accommodate the newcomers,
with not a house now vacant.
The population has increased so
rapidly that it has been hard to
accommodate the increase. Pros
perity is evident on every hand.
The world is taking note of San
Diego and it is beginning to re-
alize that if it was thought
rather small to have a worlds
fair, it will be quite big enough
before the gates are opened to
the public.

The Benefit of Change.

One of the worst foes of
human life is monotony. The
whole human being, body and
soul, rebels against it. After
long residence in one place the
blood begins to run sluggishly;
the appetite fails, the mind be-
comes dull and the feelings stup-
fled. Mind and body act and
react upon one another. Every
physician recognizes the value OF
changes, not only the change OF
air and diet, hut change Of sur
roundings as a medicine for the
sick Change of scene stimulates
the mind and heart to activity
and these reacting on the body
arouse it to greater vitality anc
effort, until the whole system il
renovated.

Communication.
Cedar City, April 2.

AS this is considered a pro-
gressive age, | am led to ask the
question what is the matter with
Cedar? or more particularly,
what is the matter with the in
habitants? Having visited the
finest valleys and cities in the
state; having read OF the wonder
full things that have been accom-
plished by the people in nearly
every locality from Dixie on the
south to the northern boundaries
of our state; having examined
the soil and knowing the amount
of rainfall in the various parts, |
wonder what is the matter with
our people. To think that a COM
munity like ours having to make
the admission that we have not
learned to raise enough grain to
last US the twelve months in the
year. We have been purchasing
-four in Cache Valley and we
came near sending to Kansas for
a carload.
Now, Mr.. Editor, anyone can
ask questions, but | propose to
submit to a rule that no one has
a right to ask questions that he
or she cannot make some reason
able answer to. One of my an
swers is this: that we are perched
here on a narrow, wedged shaped
spot of very inferior land and
apply enough water on one
thousand acres of hard clay soil
that we could spread onto four
thousand acres of land in other
parts of our valley, and get more
than five times the results that
we obtain now and with less
labor.
Now we will consider biundei
No. 2. 1t is costing US each yeal
about ST. 5 ner acre to keep oul
field bitches clean and our dams
repaired in an endeavor to make
water run up hill as has beer
donein years past. Again, WI
have been compelled to trave
from five to ten miles a day t,
get to our farms at great waste
of time, cost in horses anC
wagons, never taking into con
sideration the fact that if w
were located upon these farm
we could avoid all this waste an,
loss. Now, if we would chang
our method and adopt the plan t
take advantage of our changes
conditions, and locate in the val
ley, where surface and artesia
water can be secured, we coul
better ourselves financially an
physically. Why not let us max
united move and go onto som
suitable spot and locate wher
our interests can be mutual
subserved. BY locating togethe
School Districts can be formed
we-can keep a few pigs, chicken
and good cows and our Twin
will come in with less than ha
the labor that we now apply.
Personally, | have never give
the matter of rainfall more tina
a passing thought but | have b,
come impressed with what thil
teen inches as we had it last we;
means. Our creek is an insit
nificant matter. We have fol
tune at our doors. What W
need to do is to grub and plo
our land and cultivate that cla
of crops for which our land
best adapted. Instead of whea
which must have water into Ju
and August, let US plant pot
toes, lucern, corn and roots
different kinds. We have tho
sands of acres of land which on
needs to be cleared and plowC
and the rains and SHOWS W
