AN OPEN LETTER

To Editors WhitehCrse Star and Skagway Daily AIaskn:
 The following remarks are not a "knock." On the contrary they are offered with the hope that some good may result from Q fair criti- cism of existing conditions in 5Kagway and Whitehorse as seen by one who has been able to note the situation of other towns ill Southeastern Alaska and Yukon territory and who has the welfare of those territorics ever at heart. l am referring to the hotel and res taurant accommodations at Skag- way and at Wlitelorse.
 During the past year my duties have brought ne ill touch with re- prcsentatiyes of tourists organjza- tious and traffic men of various trauspt rtation companies and it can be definitely stated that the summer tour to Alaska and lu- kon is no longer a doubtful under taking, but an accepted factor 10 be taken into consideration when max ing plans for the handling of tour iss traffic on this continent. Tour ists in large and ever increasing numbers will come to Alaska as surely as they come to Canadian Pa cific Rockies, to Yellowstone Park or the Grand Canyon, therefore if they dc not go to some part be- cause of some lack of arrangements for their care, they will visit an- other where the necessary care is not lacking.
 In speaking of the trip up the samous inside passage" Skag- way is the Mecca and focal point; how doubIy importat then that she and her sister town of White horse, should lead, rather than fall Hehind the other towns in the ter ritorY.
 The value of the tourist busi- ness can be measured by tourist days, i. e. one tourist one day. Hundreds of tourist days are lost to a community by lack of good hotel and restaurant accommo- dations and bad reputation in tha+ respect spreads much quicker than many imagine. No transporta- ton company deliberately mis in forms it's patrons or would-be pa tram, thus visitors are told to Dass eyer certain points quickly or s ay longer in others as local con ditions are known to be.
 skagway and Whitehorse are be- hind ether towns today in south eastern Alaska and Yukon in this respect and the quicker they see u il that this is remedied, an of stream of good quail ty visitors will assuredly be their guests and the transportation con- panies be the first to back up such al effort.
 Have some fair, broad-minded, | person or persons wis it, not Seattle or Vancouver, but | the chief points between Kechikan and Dawson and see what they are | doing. Let us have some action

1t will surprise many to whom
Lorna Doone"' is classic to learn
that Blackm0re.s great newell became
popular in this country before it was
known in England, where it went beg

"reminiscences Of the Harper house.
1t related that 1t was not until after
1874, when Harper & Bros. published
1t in New York, that Lorna Doone"
appeared in the land Of her birth.
Marston, the English publisher of the
novel, said that it hung fire for some
time with them, until the engagement
of the Marquis of Lorne to Princess
Louise was announced, and then 1t be-
gan to SELL In some unaccountab,e
way, Marston said, the English public
apparently associated the title with
the name Of the marquis and so be-
gan to read the book. Blackmore was
better known amoLg his neighbors at
Teddington on the Thames as a fruit
man than as novelist. The fact that
he was successful market gardener
explains the wonderful knowledge he
displayed in exit and Kitty" of the

LABOR SHORTAGE IN ALASKA
Wages Are Mounting Higher, Ordinary
Laborers Being Paid as Much
as SIP a Day.

An Alaskan correspondent writes
that the shortage of labor in interior
Alaska has become acute, and In con-
sequence employers are bidding
against each other for the services of
such laborers as are to be had, with
the result that wages are mounting to
unprecedented figures. This condition
Is especially noticeable in the Fair
banks district, where as much as $12
a day has recently been paid for ordi-
nary pick and shovel laborers. There
are not nearly enough workers to fill
the available jobs, and instead of i'm
provement the condition Is expected to
grow worse.
The Alaska road commission, which
received an appropriation of 100000
for the building of roads and trails this
year, is in the market for large force
of laborers, and where they are to
come from nobody knows. Moreover,
mining operations are just beginning
in large way, and this industry will
require more men than the present la
boring population of the Fairbanks
region, and if they cannot be had the
industry will suffer severely. Similar
conditions, but less severe, existed last
year, and were due to the draining of
the labor resources by the government
railroad, which is still short of men.
AS In all former years, many laborers
will undoubtedly come in from the
states, but not enough are expected to
even fill the wants of the railroad COM
mission, much less to adequately re-
Heve the needs of private employers.
What is true of the interior labor
shortage was also true in less degree |
OF the coast regions until recently. OF |
1000 laborers sailing from Seattle to |
Alaska last spring not half dozen got |
as far as the Interior the men. finding
Jobs in the coast regions. Should some /
means not be found to relieve the labor
shortage In the interior it's develop
ment will be affected more seriously
than last year, when shortage of la
Dor resulted in many ventures being
abandoned. Many mining companies
were unable to complete their seasons
operations, and not a few business
men went broke because of inability
to fill their contracts. 4.

Richmond, April 9, 1917.

Dear Sir
President Wilson, through the
Navy Department, has issued a cali
for 3S,500 recruits to make up the
complement of men immediately need
ed for the Navy.
To obtain this number OF recruits
Virginia has been called on to furn-
ish at the lowest 800 men by April
20. There are 100 counties in the
State and if each county furnishes
eight men Virginia's quota will thus
be supplied.
1t is not sufficient, however, that
merely 800 men apply; the physical
examination for enlistment Is some
what strict and many applicants for
the Navy are rejected on account OF
one defest or another. It is there
fore. essential that considerably more
than 500 applicants be obtained In
Virginia.
Accordingly, at this time Of the
Nations emergency | appeal to you
as a man of standing and Influence
in your community to use your best
efforts in securing from your county
as many applicants for the Navy be-
tween the ages of II and 30 years as
possible.
| am addressing this communica-
tion TO vou as well as to the other
members of the Board of SupervlS-
ors and the Clerk of your County.
The necessity for immediate and
energetic action is so urgent that en-
ceptionnl steps (such as county ana
dist"ist mass-meetings in addition to
tn. solicitation of individuals,
should be taken in order to furnish
Virginia's quota by April 20.
In complying with this request you
render double service; for, in addl-
tion 10 the patriotic purpose shown
bv young men in enlisting at this
time. you can see from the lntorna-
tion sent under another cover that
the Navy offers useful and educa-
tional career to any young man, as
well as opportunities for fine training
and extensive travel.
You will find enclosed herewith Ii
letter signed by Lieutenant o.. G.)
l.. s. Stewart. naval recruiting Of
fcer, Richmond. Virginia, which at
fords valuable information.
Please advise me of the result OF
YOUR activities at the earliest possible
date.

Governor of Virginia
