It is all right to have fnanciers come to Alaska, but their money can do little in the way of development if there are not sufficient laboring men here. Then why this Seattle spirit" supported by the Times, which is dis. couraging working people from coming to Fairbanks? The fact is tbat the man who overcomes the obstacles of travel in the interior this time of the year is one who will not become a pauper.-Fairbanks Citizen.
 Fred Patching, superintendent of the Fortmann hatchery, is local visitor. Mir.

They have no fear of mankind, eating right out of the feeders hand. The young fish will be kept in the feeding pools until such a time as they are large enough and strong enough to rustic for themselves. -Ketchikan Miner.
 The Alaska legislature now in ses- sion at Juneau has been considering a bill looking to the enfranchisement of Indians who have servered all tribal relations and who have adopted the ways aud customs of white.

We do not believe a greater calamity could befall Alaska than would result from extending the right of franchise to her Indians Whitehorse Star.

 1t always sounds funny to hear peo- pie outside warning poor people from coming to Alaska. These poor people should be told that it is far better to be broke in Alaska than outside. The man who could not make better liv- ing in Alaska than he could outside ought to stay outside for his own sake aud the sake of Alaska. Alaska is no place for the shiftless, enervated deni. zens of city slums and any other sort of a poor man can live here and be more independent than he could ever hope to be outside. For an out of. work to live in the States means clay cry. An out.of.work in Alaska needs only an axe, a fishing line and an old shot gun, if he is worth his salt, to be able to hold up his head independently, Seward Gateway,
