to the fact that steps should be taken to pro-
vide for our adequate defence. Third, that
prosperity is gradually returning and business
is generally improving throughout the United
States"
A. S. Burleson, Postmaster General:
Words fail to describe, the imagination
cannot picture, the depths of suffering, the
horrors of the carnage and the desolation into
which the greater nations of Europe are
plunged. In America there is prosperity and
happiness-every evidence of an era OF plenty
such as we have never known. Amidst the
world at war, tortured by all the evils Of war,
we are at peace enjoying all the blessings of
peace.
The situation entails new responsibilities
upon the United States and these bring up
new and complex questions. However, upon
this day of thanksgiving care to dwell upon
but one thing-the contrast
Samuel W. Fairchild:
The American people have to be thankful
tor abundant harvests, meaning prosperity for
many and plenty of food for all. Opportun;-
tics for work Better working conditions in
improved buildings Better living conditions
Better relations generally between captains of
industry and their employees. Inventions and
improvements that make for wider knowledge
and better facilities for business. For peace

For freedom. Always for our heritage Of
government of the people, by the people, for

Samuel Untermyer:
AT peace with the world, with abundant
crops, for which there is unprecedented de-
mand at high prices, with an impending era
of widespread industrial prosperity overfowing
the land from ocean to ocean, we would in
deed be ungrateful if our people were not on
their knees in thanksgiving for the blessings
that have been showered upon us and in SYM
pathy with the Affections of the countries
across the sea-
S. Stanwood Menken:
1--WE should be thankful because Divine
Providence which is often said to exercise
special benefcence for fools and Americans,
has again seen fit to shower this country with
blessings which, an unearned increment to
large degree, are undeserved.
I'VE should be thankful that, notwithstand-
ing the lack of general personal service to the
country, we still enjoy the blessings of life,
liberty and the right of pursuit of happiness
and have an awakening sense of our obliga-
tons"
Issac N. Seligman:
The American people have much to be
grateful for this Thanksgiving. In this blessed
land OF ours peace and good will reign. The

 The famous old clipper, General Fairchild. of that period when the American sailing ship was supreme on the ocean, was recently purchased by Jas. Griffith & Sons, of Seattle, and will be used as barge in the Alaska trade.
 The cbamber of commerce of San Francisco has sent notice to all the merchants of that city to the effect that Alaska with big purchasing pop- ulation would make a good market for California goods and urges the mer- chants to take advantage of the busi ness that will follow as a result of the building of a government railroad in Alaska.
 In the new mining law passed by the legislature at Juneau there is one clause that will appeal to the oper- ators. It provides that for the record ing of affidavit of annual labor, the fee shall be the customary sL5O for one claim and 9 cents for each additional claim included in the affidavit, when such affidavit includes group of con tiguous locations.
 The festival of the Midnight Sun was first held in June, 1912, Max Kollm, the first organizer of the Native Sons and Daughters, being instrumental in start ing the movement. In 1913 and 1914 the celebrations were held again with such great success that the annual eel ebration is now a fixture in the calen' dar of holidays of Fairbanks and of Interior Alaska.
 Koyukuk has set the pace this spring for Alaska's placer camps by producing a single pan containing Sl,632 worth of native gold. Just what shape it was in is not stated but evidently in large nuggets and dust. It is a big nugget country, but never heretofore has pan produced anything like this amount since the early days of the Klondike or Fairbanks camp.

According to E. c. Howard, the Salmon river country, at the head of Portland canal, is the coming mining district of this region. For instance, within the last few months, the Alaska Gastineau people, who have done SO much at Thane, near Juneau, have be- come interested there. The companies represented by H. R. Plate have taken options on mining properties there, and Mir. Howard states that others are fol- lowing them.-Ketchka Miner.
 Reports from Anchorage indicate that 1,2OO people have reached the new terminal and that conditions in the new district are very unsanitary and unsat isfactory. No provision has been made by the government to allow for the building of town and hundreds have .quatted on government lands reserved for terminal purposes. They have spent considerable money in building homes and stores and are uncertain as to how loUg they will be allowed to remain. The failure of the engineering commission and the land office to pro- vide for a towusite and arrange for the sale of lots to the public is being con- demned by those who are on the scene. 1t is also feared that unless some prompt action is taken by the commis- sion to insure sanitary conditions in the new town of tents that an epidemic will result
 The Ketchikan Miner takes up case which was tried in the court there and hands the U. s. attorney the following hot shot: "After being out but two hours, the jury in the Austin case brought in a verdict of mot guilty yes- terday evening. The suddenness of their decision was considerable of a surprise to all concerned. There is no denying The fact that the evidence pre- sented by the government was weak, and the case was poorly handled. United States Attorney Smiser made a great speech in bis talk to the jury, but there was nothing for that jury to do, when the actual evidence was taken into consideration, but 10 bring in the verdict they did. Speeches are all we'll and good in their place, but with an Alaska jury, evidence must precede them. This was lacking in this instance and the verdict of acquittal was the result"
 In line with the policy of the Alaska Northwest Mining Journal-of working for the best interests of the mining in- dustry in it's field-there will be issued under it's auspices a complete directory of all the mines and prospects in the Northwest states, British Columbia and Alaska. The information con- tained in this directory will be as com. plete as is possible to obtain, and will contain a brief report of the develop ment work, geologic features, produc- ton, dividends, capital stock, officers, etc., of each property. The information will be compiled in book form for dis tribution throughout the United States, A copy of the book will be issusd to each subscriber to the Journal free of charge. Others will be charged a fee covering the cost of production, as it is not the intention of the Journal to publish the directory as a means Qg making money,

The First National bank of Fairbanks estimates that the gold yield for the winter season will total S355,OO0. The winter dumps are all washed out and the open cuts are now being operated.
 A proposition to consider the organi zation of subordinate camps of the Woodmen of the World in Alaska will be officially considered at the annual convention of the Sovereign Camp to be held in Denver. Colo, iu July, 1916.
 The deficit of S2,1556O in the cou structiou of trail from Mccarthy to Cbisaua which the Cordova chamber of commerce has been trying to pay off, may be cleaned up soon, as the Alaska Steamship company will pay 5l,0OO to- wards the amount, provided the Cor dova business men pay the balance. Eight memb mbers of the chamber each subscribed $50 and others are working to raise the S70O still needed.
 The new Tolovaua placer camp is to have wireless connection within very short time, as Falcon Joslin has sent his plant to that place. The plant has been in Alaska for a number of years, having first been installed when the Iditarod was struck Failing to pay there it was started for Chisana, but before being started up the Panama river news was received of discouIag- ing nature and the project was dropped.
 Some weeks ago a report was sent out from the Chisana district, in which it was stated that Dry creek had been found to contain d rich pay streak. The news was sent to all parts of the terri tory and now the report has come to Cordova that the gulch was salted and that no pay streak exists. The resi- dents of the interior placer camp deprecate the sending out offalse news, claiming that they have a good camp and that lying and salting will not aid the men who are really working to open the claims and are willing 10 expend time and money on them.
 Business men of Ketchikan, Alaska, have recently applied to the head off, Bces of the Grand Trunk Railway com pany for terminal rates at Ketchikau. If this concession is made it practically means the Grand Trunk system will carry halibut from Ketchikan to any point on the continent for the same rate charged from Prince Rupert. If the Grand Trunk system will grant Ketohikan terminal rates and consider ation is shown the fishermen in the way of prices on ice and supplies, it is pos sible a part of the halibut fleet will make Ketchikan the home port.-Pacifc Fisherman.
 Cordova.-A mining deal which in- wolves several hundred thousand dol- lars and large area of gold placer ground in interior Alaska, has just been consummated by John A. Hazelet, who just returned from the East. While in New York, Mir. Hazelet interested a number of capitalists in Alaska, and succeeded in bonding to them not only bis own property, but also all of the claims on the Chisana river, for which he held options. The deal includes ten miles of placer ground. In ad. dition to this the New Workers also bonded three or four claims on Slate creek, known as the Swanson property.
Douglas Island news., 1915-05-26

The department of education, in charge of the education of the Eskimos of Alaska, report that the natives are unable to compete with the white men in the reindeer industry aud that gov ernment supervision is still needed.
 Col. w. A. Swanitz, the chief engineer and builder of the Alaska Central rail road, was in town today enroute to Seward, and he reports that five suits are now pending against the transfer of that railroad to the government, says the Cordova Times. Col. Swanitz will return to Cordova within a few days and proceed to Katalla to engage ex- tensively in the oil business. He rep reseuts a syndicate of capitalists who have taken over the Alaska Petroleum & Oil Company, arrangements having been made for the discharge of the re ceiver. He will at once begin the work of drilling, going to a depth of 5000 feet, and expects to develop the Katalla field.
 "The recent session of the Alaska legislature was perhaps one of the most interesting experiences of my life" said Representative J.P. Daly, of Nome, to a reporter for the Seattle P. 1. "The work was enjoyable, and because of the keen interest felt in the welfare of the different divisions by the representa- tives and senators there was no time for fooliug or horsepIay. It was all strictly business, and during the clos ing days of the session the hours were so long that on the way Go our rooms we almost met ourselves going to work. The legislature as a whole is made up of fine body of men. think that in the aggregate they will compare with auy of the state legislatures of the country"
 It is getting evident that the people of duncan are becoming really mad over the proposal to make Seward the capital. They even go to the lengths of saying insulting things to Seward people who happen to visit their city. This hardly looks as though they are inclined to regard the proposal as such a joke as they pretended to believe it.. It is really no joke, but the people of the present capital will gain nothing by making it crime and visiting on it's advocates the punishment of crim- inals. They may succeed in securing the capital buildings yet and if they do Seward will have nothing to say but what is friendly. Juneau might also fight it's corner without getting mean. Seward Gateway.
 Just as Seward is coming into her own. and for which she has waited pa- tiently To, these many years, the fiery element sweeps down upon her and almost envelopes the enterprising little city in flames. But through the heroic work of her people this terrible catas trophe has been averted. The forest fire had crept upon the town so closely that for few hours it looked as though the seaport railway terminus was to be reduced to ashes. The people were pretty badly frightened but because of their almost heroic work they succeed ed in saving their homes, places of bus mess and temporary resting places for the hundreds of new occupants drawn there by reason of expected railroad coustruction.-Gateway,

The South Needed the Banks

THE loans and discounts made by the twelve
i Federal reserve banks amounted to $685.
e5i,o0O on May 2s, the last full day OF bank
Ing business last month. OF this amount,
sls,02s,0OO, or more than one-half, had been
loaned and discounted by the banks in Rich
mond. Atlanta and Dallas. The loans and
discounts Of the Philadelphia bank were only
sl4950O0. The New York banks discounts
and loans were s3.5s7OOO. But the Richmond
bank had accommodated the member banks
in the enormous sum Of S7,4i2,OOO, the Atlanta
bank N,46s,00O and the Dallas bank S6,14s, 000
Nothing proves more conclusively than
these figures that the South needed the banks.
The reserves OF the member banks have be-
come mobile. and they can be used where
there is demand for money. The easing of
the money market. which naturally follows,
will benefit every industry and must increase
the general prosperity of the whole region.
