The Nome daily nugget., 1917-05-21

To picture yourself in the position that you most desire to occupy, to See yourself in the kind of house in which you most wish to live, wearing the apparel that you would like to wear and associating with the persons with whom you would most like to asso- cciate, is one of the best ways of planting the seed from which the de- sired harvest may be realized. The clearer-the most distinct-you can make these pictures appear to you, the more inspiration you will derive from them, the greater the chance of realizing the ambitions which they portray.
 When the plan has been once de- veloped. however, the next thing is to put 1t into execution and it is here that the idle dreamer fails. To con- struct a house, the preliminary step is to secure an architects plans. yet the plans alone are of little value un- less you have a builder to see that they are carried out. It is the latter who must attend to the details and make the structure a habitable one.
 In constructing caresr-in build ing the structure men term success" 1ay Tn Io planning" is the easiest part, and will mean but little if we do not suc- ceed in visualizing so clearly, or painting our mental pictures so en- ticeingly, that we become embued with a strong desire to make them a reality.
 It is DO weak, half hearted deter imitation that will produce this result The desire that rouses the will to ac- tion that we denote as '1nvitative' must be so ardent, so keen, so deter mined as to be practically irresistible It is when desire has bred this deter imitation in the heart, that the ordi- nary obsacles of life become but triv- ialitis, and we plough our way to suc- cess, regardless of such factors as op- posing circumstances and adverse en- vironment.
 Ask any man who has made a suc- cess as to what principle he owes his

ESSENTIAL TO LABOR PEACE.

All schemes of arbitration assume that labor can be pacified If its de- mands are rationalized and kept with in the bounds of the fix and reason able" They assume that all employ CTS are entirely capable of meeting these fair and reasonble demands once they are clearly defined. They take no sufficient account of the fact that the average employer is aman with very limited mastery of the science of business management, and that his unaided capacity for meeting the reasonable demands of labor is surprisingly slight.
 It is absurd to assume that the en- p1oyers pay low wages because they are heartlessly greedy for profits Most of them would gladly pay living wages if they knew how. But the average garment manufacturer, like the average employer in our "princi-  pal American Industries" does not know how; he is ignorant of the science of business mana cement, in- competent, inefficient. And yet he is too jeaous of his status as a private business man to want to be helped from outside.
 In the matter of the labor problem we are passing through the same ex- perience through which We passed in the matter of the regulation of sani- tary conditions and fire hazards and the prevention of industrial injuries in our factories ass It is now the rule for state industrial commissions to employ experts to show manufac- turers how to make their factories safe. If the state is to compel the workers to submit to arbitration it will have to extend its control to the business methods of employers.
 Arbitration as it is practiced is one sided; it aims at the pacification of labor without providing for the im- proyement in business technique without which the reasonable demands of labor cannot be satisfied. If the public wants industrial peace it must impose upon employers minimum standards of business efficiency as it has already imposed upon them mini- mum standards of safety and sanita- ton.

ALASKA'S POPULATION.

Alaska newspapers generally note a marked growth Tn the territorial pop ulation during the past two years. The district about Gastineau channel, whih includes Juneau and Douglas and plants of the great mining com panies, is the most populous voting district, according to its area. in the territory. Juneau, in the last elec- ton, is stated to have cast as many votes as Valdez, Cordova and Seward combined.
 The total vote cast at the last cleo ton in the four districts of Alaska was more than 14,000, an increase of 40 per cent since the proceeding elec- tion.
 Estimates now credit the territory with a white population of not less than 10000. The current year should add perhaps 10000 to the permanent population. Through the additional workmen to be employed in the mines, coal, gold. coper and the homestead CTS and business men who will be attracted by the railroad building and the opening of the wilderness to cul- tivation and settlement.
 Alaska has got over the hump" and from now on it's progress in every way should be rapid.-P.-I.

FUR MING.

A splendid opportunity is offered men with a little money to invest to make a stake in fur farming. Good foxes for breeding purposes cost $200 per pair and from five to ten pairs are sufficient to start a man in busi- ness. There are any number of isl- ands on Prince William Sound which can be rented for nominal sum from the government. These islands are heavily timbered, with good water and plenty of sandy beaches for the foxes to get their food from, and living would be both cheap and convenient for the fur farmer, as the waters teem with halibut, cod and other food fishes. For the man who is weary of pleasant occupation than fur farming. The animals practically take care of themselves, and require but little at- tention save at the breeding season. Several men m this vicinity are con- ducting such farms, and they are long past the experimental stage, With the probable exception of clothing, the investors expenses would be practical ly nothing while his crop was grow ing, as geese, ducks. and fish abound

AVIATION STATION
T0BE BUILT HERE
Will Be Located on Osborne
Turnpike and New Road,
East of City Limits.
ADJ0INs GREAT WAREHOUSE
Absence Of Aldermen Prevents
Action on Request for City
Water Connection.

Uncle Sam intends to establish an
aviation station for the rignal corps
at the Osborne Turnpike ars the
New Road. Just east of the city limits
with characteristic speed. An ordi-
nance to permit the use OF city water
at nonresident rates at this location,
recently acquired by tho War Depart
ment was introduced last night in the
Board OF Aldermen by Alderman
Mitchell. 1t was the intention of the
latter to have the ordinance imme-
dately passed under suspension OF
two-thirds vote present the matter had
to be referred TO committee. 1t is
likely that special meetings OF both
held in a few days. in order to permit
the station to have a water supply
without unnecessary delay.
Announcement was made several
days ago that John T. Wilson & Co..
Inc. had been awarded a contract by
the War Department to build an enor-
nous warehouse on this site, which ad-
joins the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-
way. At that time 1t was said that
the warehouse would be used for the
assembling of aeroplanes for the army.
However. from Washington announce
ment was made yesterday that the sta
tion would be operated in conjunction
with Camp Lee. near Petersburg. 1t is
hoped TO have the station in operation
by the time the national army is re-
ceived at Camp Leo.
Captain Kenneth c. Grant, signal
corps, Is In charge of the work, while
n. Mcpherson is the government cngi-
neer engaged In the actual supervision
of the construction.
ABSENCE OF MEMBERS
DELAYS DECISIVE ACTION
Owing to the absence of a two
thirds vote the Aldermen were unable
to act on numerous matters which
were reported for concurrence. These
were principally measures carrying ap-
! preparations with them. There was a
bare quorum. seven members. present
Those who were absent were out OF
town or sick.
However, few items which required
only majority vote were concurred in
as follows:
Ordinance permitting the Southern
Railway Company to construct spur
track across South Ninth Street, at the
north end Of the Free Bridge
Ordinance permitting the new build
ing Of J. B. Mosby & Co slightly to
encroach upon the west side OF Jefrer-
son Street. between Broad and Grace
Streets
An ordinance permitting the acaui-
s'tion by the city of additional property
when needed. in any condemnation pro-
ceedinss. was adopted.
Upon the recommendation Of the FL
nance Committee the Board rejected the
two Grundy ordinances which were de-
signed to abolish six-for ..-quarter
street car tickets.
The proposition of the Administra-
tive Board to pay bonuses to city en-
ployees was referred to the Finance
Committee. An ordinance to repeal the
Ruilding Code Of Highland ark was
referred to the Committee on Public
Buildings. Properties and Utilities.
