DISCOVERING AMERICA

The announcement by Secretary Lane that mineral potash in commercial quantities has been discovered in Utah is matter of prime importance. It took the European war to bring to the country it's unfor- tunate dependence on Germany for this valuable min era plant food and constituent of commercial fertiz- CTS Since then something has been done in the way of improving the supply by setting potash from certain seaweeds But obviously this source of supply must remain inadequate.
 It now looks as If the problem might have been solved It is not known how extensive these new de- posits are but the size Che vein and the fact that it has been traced $500 feet usnes the inference that they are very valuable Another encouraging feature is the fact that the potash found in connection with alunite mineral which is known to exist in Colorado. Utah Arizona California and Nevada. There is thus ground for believing that investigation win show the existence of potash deposits of importance in these and perhaps other states.
 Thus does the discovering. as opposed to the orig ina discovery of America go The discovery was a single fact and dealt merely with large and ndef- nise area The process Of discovering continuous performance and is revealing from time to time the unsuspected extent of the hidden resources of the land There is stn room for the scientific Columbus.

 Of course none will deny that statehood form of government is preferable to territorial form of govern ment; but at the time should not lose sight of the fact that the child walk before be can run and if SO through the process 1t would seem that should work in unison and first secure the power to walk. With us. however. this point in the quarrel is only secondary matter The paramount is- is the division of the territory into separate and distinct parcels with its respective and independent governmental power Just so long Alaska shall re- main a whole for government purposes. just so long shall we be deprived of the right to govern ourselves
