Every city in. the states would welcome such an entertain ment as the Post Athletic Club will stage next Wednesday night, and it is pity that his honor has seen fit to refuse the Club permission to hold the smoker in Valdez, as it will be harmless in it's character, and those who go expecting to see two or three men maimed or killed will be grievously disappointed These smokers are generally a scien- tific demonstration of how perfect the human body may become with proper training. In many schools ot the states the question of teaching boxing and wrestling has been seri- ously considered, as they, train the body, mind and eye to act in unison, and healthier bodies make healthier, cleaner men.

Anchorage has been suffering from an epidemic of lawlessness recently, and many arrests and convictions have been secured. The slaughter of moose to feed town the size of An chorage is criminal wastefulness, and should be promptly stopped by the game wardens. In few years, at the rate these noble animals are be' ing slaughtered, a moose will be as hard to find as the members of that once numerous political party.

We do not wish our city placed on record as fighting capital, or of enacting foolish laws calculated to embarrass companies already here. What we should do is to have our city advertised as ready and anxious to welcome any industry which will benefit our city, or place dollar more property in our town. The af- fairs of city are more closely mo- ticed than the average person imag- ines, and the actions of officials in passing ordinances aimed at the sup pression or government of corpora tions are published broadcast in the states. We need more capital; the town needs more capital; and the territory needs more capital. Alaska
 is not a country that can be devel- oped on a shoestring, and we should
 wait until capital has developed the country before legislating against it.

ALASKA ROLLS IN RICHES.

StatlSC1cS are LlTeSOme. MOSt per- sons will not read them and most who do speedily forget their signifi- scance But every reader can remem- Eber few striking facts about Alas Hka, unique, incomparable, unequaled, 8unexcelled. It is magnificent in it's isolation. It has an area of 6OO,OO0 United States, which means that it will make fourteen New Works and nearly 500 Rhode Islands. It cost Uncle Sam $7,2O0,O00 forty-eight years ago, or less than 2 cents an acre. It has paid for itself twenty times and more in the output of it's fisheries. It's gold mines this year will produce more than three times what Alaska cost us. Alaska claims to have more gold than California, and more copper than Michigan and mia, and is willing to prove it if the government will cut the red tape re-
 strictions of nonsensical conservation
 and let capital do it's work, as it has done with the gold and copper mines
 and the fish industry. Its great cat
 tie ranges remain untouched and the
 greater part of them are free to the
 homesteader.
 Alaska has a population of about
 65,00O with a fertile, undeveloped
 acreage suitable for tillage exceeding
 several times the acreage of those
 sections of Norway, Sweden and Rus
 sia of similar latitude, with II 1,OOO,-
 coo souls. Let the people of the Uni
 ted States think deeply of the official
 statement that Alaska, with 65,0O0
 population, as market for our own products, is "of equal importance
 with China, with a population of 336,OOO,OOO." Is it a matter of con- sequence to you, my neighbor, wheth- CT the door of Alaska's storehouse of wealth shall remain closed or be opened? It produces half the worlds salmon. It sold last year 100000 600 pounds, or two pounds on an av- craze for every man, woman and child in the United States. It has the only tin mines in the United States. It is opening great oil wells about katalla, and l ran across geologists who are following up strong indica- tions of an oil belt all the way up to Nome. Wealth! Alaska is rolling in it, and before the present century approaches it's end will be the richest section of America. Already Fair banks, 500 miles from the coast, is
 getting ready to celebrate the semi centennial of Alaska's purchase two
 years hence. Get ready now to go.
 Seattle, too, the great big good
 brother of Alaska, that has done
 more than all the rest of the country
 to induce the newspapers of our big
 cities to give Alaska fair hearing,
 she, too, the starlit city of the sea, is
 day.
 Since Alaska hailed the American flag forty-eight years ago the wealth of the United States has had an as- tonishing expansion. It is estimated to equal that of Germany, France and England combined. It his in- creased since the opening of our new century by $1OO,O00,O00,00O, sum in excess of our national assets when we took over Alaska. We have achieved these amazing results since
 we have been a united people, since we obliteratered sectional lines and
 since we have shaken hands across
 the bloody chasm. ."-Leslie's.
