A strike on the part of railway employees would most seriously ef- feet Alaska. A thriving trade has been built up with all tr2de cenbers throughout the United states by merchants operating within the ter ritory and the immediate cutting oil Of these merchants from their base of supplies would eyentuate in the working of a 'hardship on the peo- ple who are living in the territory.

t.e same period 0f the last fiscal year, while shipments from Alaska to the United States reached the extraordinary figures of S45,OOO,- 900. an increase of more than. $2O,- OUp,V over those of last year. The total commerce of Alaska with the United States fer the fiscal year was about $sO.OOO,OOO in value. The trade of Alaska. with! it's re- latiyely small number of Inhabitants Is greater, both on the import and the export side, than the trade of the Philippines, and 1t is expanding far faster.
 The prosperity of Alaska, as shown oy these figures, is factor in the prosperity of this state and this city of the largest importance, for her. Is the entreport of practi- cally all of AlaSka's trade, and hcre also is where much CT it is handled directly.
 Another feature is that this enormous and expanding commerce Is carried on by water, through. in land passages in great part which are the poorest lighted of any wat CTS on the glObe and have fewer aids 10 navigation than can be found elsewhere. The congresston- al appropriations for aids to nayiga- tion in Alaska waters this year are less than they are for the coast Of Virginia, and no lGrgeE than. were made for small single ports.-P.-I.

HE MOVED HIS WELL. '

 ls Did Change Place.
 There Is an old story about the man who pulled up a well and took 1t te a more desirable location and another about the man who took up a well, sawed 1t In sections and used one of the sections for a land roller. They were congregations. .buttthe experience of Ezra Tetlow provesithat a well can. not always be classedias a permanent fixture. Ezra had well In front of his house. It had never been a success as well Ezra wanted 1t filled up. One way would have been to haul stones or earth and use the material to fill 1t But Ezra had no team.
 So he went at It with a shovel. Working on the side of the well next.to the road, he began to dig and to throw the dirt Into the we'll He kept this up until he had filled 1t, which was not difficult job. as the well was rather shallow.
 But when the task seemed finished Ezra found that he had made a new hole by the side of the one he had been filling. There was but one thing to do he proceeded to All 1t in the same manner. Of course this resulted fin stin another excavation. which in turn re ceived similar treatment.
 As all of Ezra's digging had been on the side of the well nearest the road, the result was that the hole in the ground was finally moved out into the highway.
 Judson Tollivsr was commenting on the exploit one day down at the cor ners. Queer thing Ezra did" he re. marked. You know that old well that stood in his front yard? Well, sir, he's moved 1t thirty feet from where 1t was moved 1t clear out Into the roadr'
 How'd he do it2" inquired another representative citizen.
 You'll have to ask Ezra" replied Judson. But he did 1t. sure enough. l saw the well in the road yesterday, and saw the track he made movln' 1t. The thing plowed a furrow four feet wide all the way."-Youth's Companion

.ALASKA's GREAT TRADE

The figures which the department of commerce has furnished in a bulletin on the commerce of the United States with noncontiguouS territories show a large expansio9 in the trade with Porto Rico and Alaska and conn aratively inSignifi- cant gains in the trade with Hawaii and the Philippines. The Alaska figures are important in volume and are also of far more local interest,
 They show thai during May of this year we shipped to Alaska sub stautially double the value of goods shi, ped in May of last year, and that Alaska's shipments to the Un- ited states were more than four times as great as they were during May, 1915.

Then comes the settler with his family, he trader and in llyIdua. busineSSs man templat- taE fEe IOuudauOus for successful careers. We have safely passed thru tuese stages and now await tue tlHd stage OI a dew country; that OI encouraging htg capital to in yes. aud develop tIe resources Of the country along lines that will build Ly an emO.re of industry within the political boundary lines os tLe country.

Solicit capital that will DecOmci eutnused wl,I me same sUir!t that drove the a4yuuJurer on and cn over the snow aud Ice fields; capital that will sayk tO develop this great terri JUIy alUug permanent lines, build lug Uy ply rolls and homes iH every c.muulity which dots the shOres JuG interior sections Of the country
 Without this capital We can neyeI hope Co rise above our present leYe! and take our place with tue leading trade and commercial units EhicI form the Union. Without money and tiuanciaI assistance We are as a small row boat Ill the mighty Pa ciGic rryiug to brother international commerce. We have the country, the resources and the possibilities.

T. is well to cher ish tba fond memories of prehis- tyric ages but the world would never move if every man was moY- ed by past actions. We need root CTS, eathusiasts and workers
 In allowing ca1ital to enter this field we believe that the laws should be as liberal as possible - but that they should no- be so gen. ercus as to allow the exploitation of all og the natural resources un- der one or two heads.

OUR GOLD CERTIFICATES.
Why Theoe Notos Have Never Been
 Made Legal Tender.

Answering the question, Why are gold certificates not legal tender?" the New York Times says:
 The first gold certificate act was passed in 1868, and at that time the Is suance of these certificates was con fined to certificates drawn to order. Ii was not until later that bearer certii cates were put out
 These certificates were Issued at the request of New York banks which at that time were handling large amounts of gold and which sought the Issuance of gold certificates by the government as a matter of convenience, thus obvi ating the constant handling and rehan. ding of gdId coin. These certificates were regarded not so much as money as warehouse certificates for money. being exchangeable at all times upon demand for the actual coin.
 The question of making the ceTtii cates legal tender was not, to the knowledge of the authority consulted. discussed when this suggestion of the New York banks was carried into ef. feet by act of congress. The fact that It was decided, to begin with, to limit these certificates to certificates to order would have been a barrier in the way Of making them legal tender had the suggestion been advanced.
 So much for the authorization of gold certificates and their not being made le 5al tender then. Financial authorl, ties point out that there has been in the years since no practical need for taking this step. Gold certificates are in practice accepted as fin every way as good as the gold itself, and they are immediately convertible into legal ten der by surrender and exchange Into gold.

Labor troubles are cropping out in every city and practically every Industry which shows any signs of prosperity. In some instances pub lie sentiment Is with the employ CTS and in others with the strikers. We believe that labor should be recognized as one of the graetest assets which the country has and that justice should always be dealt the laboring classes. This does not mean, however, that capital should be infriuged upon in giving labor It's just demands.
