MIR. FORESTS SUGGESTION.

The suggestion of former Mayor George F. Forrest that the Government get behind Alaskas three great industries gold mining, fisheries and numbering, the latter with special reference to spruce production for airplanes, is worthy of earnest consideration.
 The need for stimulating gold production has recognized by the Secretary of the Treasury and many financial experts in America and Great Brit ain The necessity for gold, already pressing will increase when the readjustment time after the war Then will have to provide a sound basis for the great credits that have grown out of war operations As long gold is the basis Tor money, the need for plenty of it must be met

 On every steamship sailing to the South there are passengers from towns to the Westward bound TOT the Outside who have not good word for the places they leaving. The people from Anchorage assert that the town is dead; those from Seward say the place any good, those from Valdez assert that the funeral is over. -
 The prudent man will view these assertions with caution. The who has been in Alaska for many years will feel not for the people who are re- unable to make good in the north are headed for the outside where, under the pressure of war orders, the labor market is short and they hope to get sot job.
 It is too bad that the impulse of people to damn the places they leaving is given such sway among the people of the north. It is malice that causes these people to knock the towns to the Westward In most merely is the desire of the person doing the talking make conversation. It is much easier to say things about place than to praise it, it True of the cities in Alaska with the possible exception of Cordova is prosperous it was last year because of the But that does not that they are gone to the dogs. There IS cities and the best times in all of them yet are to come.

 The next time man begins to knock community from which he comes, don't ask him about the other fellows business ask him about his own. Then you will get the truth Don't mind what he says, but size up your man. In most cases you will find that the person who talks the loudest has the least at stake. The successful man does not find it nec- essary to knock a community.

 It has been the history of all Alaskan towns that the men who stayed with the places were the ones who made the winnings. More money made in business in Dawson after 1905 than before that time; money made by business men in Fairbanks after 1910 than during the first big rush.
