FAIRBANKS PROSPEROUS.

That interior Alaska is receiving it's share of the home-owning immi- grafton is shown by the rapid growth of Fairbanks. At one time Fair banks had a population of nearly fifteen thousand in the district; then hit the territory and the dropped back to but few now it Is going ahead again with leaps and bounds, and in a few more months will be larger and more prosperous than ever. It has become city of fine homes and good buildings, and fine schools.
 Most of this growth, of course. is due to her location in the center of one of the best districts for mining and agriculture in the territory. and still another reason for it may be traced to the large number of men who have huilt homes and brought their families in from the States.
 Now that people on the Outside are finding that the climate of Alaska is not nearly so rigorous as that of Ne braska, the Dakotas or Illinois, they are bringing in their families, and to stay.
 Fairbanks is due to be the metrop- oils of interior Alaska, and Valdez is proud of her steady, rapid growth.

DON'T BE A CROUCH.

Don't be a grouch, but be genial and carry smile all the time.' It will pay you at the end of the days work. Grouchiness is habit of mind acquired unconsciously perhaps, but acquired through cultivation never theless and soon becomes disease. It generally begins with. grumbling and fault finding and impatience over trifles that go wrong, and it grows and grows. .-..
 The woman who begins to grum- ble at her husband develops the hab- it until she becomes a nag" and a scold. The man who begins by at his help or at his com panions ends the possessor of . full grown grouch. If we look back few years we find that the troubles that worried us then were not worth wor- rying about, since we have forgotten them all. Your trouble of today will pass just the same and soon will be Then what is the use of being grouchy. The holidays are over and brought with them cheerful times. The new year is on. Let us forget cur,little troubles and be gen. Progressive-M Miner.

ALASKA WILL BE WELL ADVERTISED
Frank c. Carpenter who Visited the North Last Summer win Supply
 Articles to Syndicate.

Starting last Sunday in thirty diff ferent papers in the United States, articles prepared by Frank G. Car penter, regarding Alaska, will appear. These articles, according to report. will average four columns to the is. sue or every Sunday for the yesr 1916 one hundred and twenty columns os reading matter relative to Alaska will be printed, and this in the leading papers of the country.
 The good that Alaska will gain from this, series of articles cannot be estimated, as MT. Carpenter visited all sections of the territory to famll- iarize himself with conditions here, and it is safe to say that he will not be knocker. He was much pleased with Alaska and from the re.M,S printed in the interior newspar rers while he was there he appeared to be the kind who fit in with Alasksns
 He has the reputation of sticki'.c strictly to the truth in his writing, and Alaskans will ask nothing more, as all who are acquainted with the territory believe in it's great future.

ness in American hands. But then he dashes the hope; it Is barren, for "the granting of such rates and privi- leges can scarcely be expected in the near future" ..
 The brightest light on the Alaskan horizon is the increase in popula- tion. It will be remembered that when the blight of Pinchotism was on Alaska the territory was at a standstill, or worse. The present re- port estimates that the white popu- ,ation is 44,000, an increase of 5000 over the estimate for the fiscal year of 1914. The growth is largely con- fined to the coastal divisions; but a favorable sign is found in other geo. graphical divisions. in that the inte- rior is now slowly increasing it's pop ulation, through agricultural ana agricultural and other pursuits.
 : Though the government has snip ped off some of the Alaskan red tape, Secretary Lane knows that the eff forts in that direction should con- tinue. Good results have been ac- complished, and still better results will be recorded by the administra- tion of purely territorial affairs at home.-Juneau Dispatch.

HUNT FOR TREASURE IN
 PERU PROVES VAIN

COLON, Panama: Harry A. Bar ber, a United States postofice inspec- tor, who has been in the wild interior of Peru trying to locate $5e0,000,0o, buried treasure of the Incas. has fin- ished his mission. He will go to the United States and on to Washington where he will report to the postoll!ce authorities.
 Barber says he spent s'v weeks making an investigation, but de:lin- ed to say with what results. It is un- derstood however, that he failed to find the treasure. He satd the natives told him they had never known of any gold in the vicinity.
 Barber was sent to Peru in con nection with the McCune case. !n which the Du Fonts and other Della ware financiers are mentioned. No Cune is said to have hoated Q large corporation on the report of having discovered the source of the gold of the Incas. He finally became invniv- ed with the postoflce department. McCune is at liberty under bend and according to Barber is in Peru, en- deavoring to locate the treasure.

MERCHANT MARINE SETS
 RECORD IN U. s. HISTORY

WASHINGTON: American ship yards have under construction now more vessels than ever before were building in the United States to add to an American merchant marine whose gross tonnage alreary is the largest in the country's history, said a report issued today by the commis- sioner of navigation.
 Ninety-eight merchant versels Of more than 5000 tonnage are being built or are under contract. These with many small vessels being con- structed have total tonnage of 761,. 511. The total tonnage of ships un- der the American flag numbering 26,- SS3 Dec. 1 was S,444,25S, a net gain of more than 50,000 tons since July first.
 There was net gain of 187 ships, despite 272 vessels lost, abandoned and sold to aliens. Twenty-three came under the American flag from foreign registry and 436 were com pleted in shipyards.
 Altogether I'll foreign vessels have taken American registry under the act of August IA, 1914. Ninety eight American vessels have been transferred to foreign registry since August.

Previous to the war, it's principal foreign connections were with England, Germany, France and Belgium. In the first five months of 1915, the export of ores and metals aggregated 2O,S94 metric tons, com pared with 19,059 metric tons dur ing the same period in 1914 previous to the war.

VALDEZ OPPORTUNITIES.

Since publishing our few statistics on the price of coal, we have been further investigating and can say without truthful contradiction that Valdez gets the cheapest coal and the cheapest electricity on the Coast.
 Coal is selling in Seattle for $8 per ton; in Bellingham for $7.50; in Ketchikan for $9; in Juneau for $10; in Cordova for $17.50; in Seward for $17.5O, and in Valdez for $12.50.
 Electricity in Valdez is 2 cents per kilowatt, for heating and cooking purposes, and yet our local agitators are rot satisfied. They must kill the goose that lays the golden eggs by inducing other companies to enter the field
 Good furnished cabins are offered by local real estate men for $6, $8 and $10 per month. These are fur nished complete to carpets and por- tieres, and are as comfortable as any house in the States. Two men can live as cheaply in Valdez as in any part of the State of Washington, and can live as comfortably.
 Now, the point to our argument is, why not be satisfied with the goods the gods provide, instead of this con- stant effort to tear down our indus tries, and work harm to the business interests of the town?
 The working man gets nothing out sf it, and the business men get noth- ing out of 1t, so why not drop this silly attempt to "get" somebody and help us make town here?

TALKING THROUGH HATS.
(From Portland Telegram.)

(From Portland Telegram.)
 Amy one who says we can be beat len in 1916 is talking through his hat" says Woodrow Wilson, presi- dent of the United States, dropping into the easy vernacular of the Demo- cratic National Committee which he entertained at the White House.
 We are regaled too with a word picture of this true Democrat thrust ing his hands into his pockets and getting right down to simplicity with the boys.
 Now the Telegram isn't inclined to be finical and has been at various times an openly expressed admirer of MT. Wilson and his utterances on all important questions; but right here it wishes to remark that this particu- lar dispatch should have been censor ed.
 Not so much because it reflects an appearance of aping that great com moner, Jefferson, who received the British ambassador in an old dress ing gown and slippers down at the heel, but because it calls to mind that remarkable document, the Dem ocratic platform of 1912 built unde- niably of blanks to get in on."
 While on the subject of talking through hats'' we offer in evidence, lest we forget, this last shred of that famous scrap of paper:
 "We favor a single presidential term and to that end urge the adop- tion of an amendment to the consti- tuition, making the president of the United States ineligible for reelection and we pledge the candidate of this convention to that policy. Our pledges are made to be kept when in office. |"

SNIPPING ALASKAN RED TAPE.

If ever there was a moment auspf- eious for new deal in Alaska, that moment is here, says the Seattle Times. The topic, in substance, Is developed in the annual report of the Secretary of the Interior, made pub lie today.
 For Alaska the home-building era has arrived. Mr. Lane touches a pal pable defect in administration when he says pointedly that there is still too much beaureaucratic control; that, while there has been some cur tailment of the red tape which has been wound about nearly everything pertaining to the territory, there is still need for improvement, to the end that the individual may not be strangled.
 It follows, in the opinion of the sec retary that all matters bearing a nat pral relation to the territory should be treated from within it, and not from a multiplicity of distant bu- reaus.
 One of the big substantial facts about Alaska is that 1t contains the great body of the American public domain. The total is perhaps 400,- 600, ,000 acres, heavy mineralized and of unknown possibilities. The coun- try will have more mines. It's fish cries are worth approximately $20,- 100000 year and it's fisheries pro- ducts since 1867 have reached a value of $254,o00,000, almost equaling the total value of the mineral output since the Seward purchase.
 It is interesting to observe that the Secretary touches rather gingerly upon the topic of halibut, a subject of direct moment to Seattle and Ketchikan. He admits that concerns buying and freezing halibut in Alas ka may be hurt by the competition of Prince Rupert. He suggests that if the Grand Trunk Pacific would grant terminal rates to Ketchikan. such action would do much toward insuring the retention of the busi-

WICKERSHAM TELLS OF
 THINGS ALASKA WANTS.

A copy of the Oregon Journal, oi Portland, received in the last mail contains a picture of Delegate Wick ersham and an interview had with him while he was visiting that city during the latter part of last month Following is an account of the dele gates visit to Portland:
 James Wickersham, delegate from Alaska to congress, who is in route to Washington for the opening oi congress, is a guest at the Portland hotel.
 Alaska wants lot of things, said MT. Wickersham. "She wants her railroad finished by the<govern- ment. She wants statehood. She wants control of those territorial af' fairs now handled by the several de- partments of the federal govern ment placed in the hands of devel- opment board such as was first pro- posed by Secretary Lane. I introduc- ed bill calling for the creation of such a board at the last session of congress, and hope to see it's passage this year.
 "This board or commission, would handle those matters which, now in the hands of some twenty bureaus, make for great confusion and lack of expedition.
 "Why, the way things are at pres ent, one has to go to Washington to settle a homestead dispute. This board would sit in Alaska and be on the job all the time.
 Business is good in Alaska" de- clared MT. Wickersham. 1.-The past year has been one of the best in the history of the territory. Strangely enough, when you complain of dull times in the States, business is al- ways good in the territory"
 "Mr. Wicksham, in common with all other loyal Alaskans, looks for ward eagerly to the granting of statehood to the territory. He is en- tering upon his fourth term as ter ritorial delegate. Prior to going to Washington in 1909, he served as federal judge of the third division. Before going to Alaska, MT Wicker sham lived in Tacoma, serving as city attorney of that city and sitting on the probate bench of Pierce county"

demands for wage increases. A pc
tition 70 the company is being circu-
lated among them and is to be present
ed when fully signed up. They will
ask for an increase of $40 a month and
% cents an hour for overtime.
Copies of the petition which is to

officials were today seen by repre-
sentative of the Star-Bulletin They
set forth that the firemen had ex-
pected that their wages would be adj
yahced with those OF the sailors but
that they have had no notification that
such is the case. 1t further says that
the petitioners are affected by the
higher cost of living equally with the
sailors and that the signers therefore
feel compelled to call the matter to
the attention of the company officials.
There are about so Chinese and 20
Japanese employed by the Inter-Island,
it is said. The regular wage now, the
men say, is $40 a month and 25 cents
