Prohibition Benefits Business

After the legal sale of liquors was
prohibited in Penns Grove in Novem-
Der, 1915, many who enjoyed drink as
a beverage went to Wilmington and
Philadelphia and spent much money
besides. Since other places have gone
dry many stay at home, consequently
they spend their money at home for
articles.
Some Penns Grove merchants have
noticed an increase of patronage and
believe it has been brought about by
persons who formerly spent money for
LIQUORS and other articles out of town.

The movement started by Senator Britt to memorabilia Congress to give Alaska a full territorial form of government such as was given to other territories before their admittmcc as states, is good one. Ter ritorial government iS what we have want ed in Alaska for many years. Some years ago we were thrown a sop in the form of the cmascuatcd government that we now have. We Alaskans swallowed the sop at that time but it never rested well in our stomachs. Let's have a government m which we can actually make laws for our selves governing those things which other territories were allowed to govern. Surely we are as intelligent a class of people as m other parts of the United States. Our civ ilizatiou is as far advanced as were other parts of the country when they were aI- lowed to govern themselves. Let us have a government in the Territory that is not a government by bureaus and departments but a government by the people of Alaska who know what is good for themselves and who. if they make mistakes, know that they have themselves to blame and not someone several thousand miles away who never saw the country OF ever will

 Forced Passage of Leasing Bill
 Walter l.. Flshor. then secretary of the interior. led the conservation forces and forced the passage Of the leasing bin in 1913. The Times con- tended that the land would not be developed under the leasing plan. md nearly six years of stagnation has proved The Times contention vas right
 The Interior Department has now hanged its attitude entirely lt recognizes that Che leasing plan is not thc one which brings speedy de- yolopmcnt of any kind. In the wild scramble of tho closing days of the last session of Congress one of Che bills that was not acted upon was the oil and coal land leasing bin,
 This bin provides that oil or coal lands may be leased or sold, but specifically provided that lands of this character in Alaska should not be sold. but only leased.
 Interior Departments Attitude
 The Interior Department took the position before the committee that leases Of coal or oil land in Alaska also should have the right Of pur. chase. The department admitted that thc leasing bin had not worked satisfactorily and when pressed fol reason said that it was because nobody appeared willing Co take lease that was subject to revoca lion. This was a complete rcyeras 3f opinion on the part of Che de- partmeut and complete ndorse ment of the stand taken by Tho Times from six to seven years ago when it opposed the passage of th' |bnl.
 The bin win come up for rc hearing at the next session of Con gross. and as the product of th' Northern fields is destined Co play am important part in che develop ment of trade between Seattle ana ! The Orient. in that they win furnish . a half-way coalng station, it would be well for Seattle business men and their representatives n Congress t' Ikcep an eye on the measure whom i comes up for a rchcariug and see t' It that American citizens living r ! Alaska are given the same privileges ms those living in other parts of th' United States. In short see Co Il that the law which applies Co th' public domain Of thc states is made to apply Co the public domaiu in th' territories J. J. Underwood in Sc Iltuc Times

SILVER HORDE

At this season of the wear, for many years past and, we hope, for many years to come. activities start for the purpose of getting ready for the annual canning of salmon.
 Boats are put upon the ways to be re- paired. machinery and cans are crowded into the holds of all northbomd boats and all thoughts are turned toward the prep aratiou for the swift-passiug seasons work.
 Al the cauucricS the crews begin to as scmblc to do repair work, the pilcdrivers go put. if the weather is favorable, to drive he traps and repair the damage done by the winters storms
 Until recently we in this particular lo- calitv in Alaska have regarded the salmon .amug industry as something not direct lv concerning us and we rather prided our selves on the fact that we were mining communities and having nothing to do with inc rather odorous fish business.
 Starting with last season it began to lawn on many that after all, the cannery business was not such a bad thing, and we realized that anyone who was producing food was not only doing good in tine world but was almost assured of making money.
 With the coming of this realization AL askans began waking mp to the great nat ural resources that we have in our fish, and to realize that while we have been de- voting most of our attention to the turn ing out of the ground of the golden metal, strangers were carrying off the silver horde from the waters of our coast.
 We believe that from now on Alaska and AIaskaus will make a bid for some share in this tremendous industry which we have more or less neglected in the past and that more of the Alaskan people will turn their attention to the development of that wonderful industry that is now controlled mostly by people from other parts of the country
 It is a business which, if the people of this section had devoted as much money and energy towards as they have in the years past to mining they would now con- trol and be reapng fortunes from. It is a business that is worthy to occupy the at tention of any young man who is thinking of taking up life work, as it is one of great possibilities and chance for advancement.
 Let us share our thoughts equally be- tween mining and fishing, the two great Alaskan natural resources that are the fu- ture hope of the territory.
