! success of agriculture there must be markets for the products, and the po~ pU.ation of Alaska is as yet too small tr constitute such market, and the distance to cities along the Pacific coast k 50 great that Alaska produc' could not be shipped with success O in competition with what those state produce within their own confines. Farming, therefore, in Alaska is no an inducement to be held out to our returned soldiers and sailors.
 However, several thousand youn" men can be provided for here by our principal industries, which are com m2rciaI, mining, fishing and lumber
 ug, of which but all that of fishing are steady, twelve months in the year, and year in and year out All of thcs' industries are and have been opera. ing cn short labor ever since the Unit cd States entered the war. Also all of these industries are now awaiting the return of those who left, as wei aS the arrival of new men, in orde" hat normal conditions may be resum nd 2nd the volume nf business in- creased at the earliest possible dat.
 l. t, tot thnt young men can be furnished with re- Numerative employment in Alaska during the first four months of the new year, but it is not desired that they all come at once, or even in punches of several hundred. But by a few arriving with every steamer from tho south, they can be absorbed and provided for by the country without any congestion. Also and as soon a normal prices obtain, a number of low grade mining propositions which car not he operated on account of the high cost both of ma'erial and labor, will again become active, and at least an other 5000 men will be required.
 AGGn, .he opportunities in Alaskl for ytung men to get into business for themselves are many and varied, ard the result is that the business instant ly increasing and the scope for the employment of labor steadily broaG- eninr.
 Alaska will welcome returned wa. heroes with open arms, and will put them in line to do something for them selves but they must not come here with the idea that gold nuggets car be plucked from trees. Robert w. Ser vice had the right line on Alaska when he wrote:
 "There are hardships which nobody reckons;
 There are valleys unpeopled and still: There is land-oh, it beckons and beckons,
 And I want to go there-and will.'
