ALASKA NEEDS POPULATION

Alaska needs population more than ahythins else The best way get population Is through the profitable employment of capital in the Territory and capital may be induced to come North py Ial' treatment of the capital already here, and north' bound capital could be greatly hastened and It's vol ume vastly increased by the removal of restrictions in the development of the Territory. The hostile legislation and regulations which began with Roose velt's withdrawal orders in 1906 has stayed tho growth of Alaska If it had not been for those res ervations is doubt but that long before now Alaska would have had coal mining and paper making population, and perhaps, developed oil fields These would have made markets for Alaska farm and truck growers, opportunities for merchants and bankers and all the other activities ehat follow development and people.
 However, in spite of the heavy hand of govern mental meddng, there is still in Alaska fol people to improve their conditions by coming tt the North. The available of this Territor! offer opportunities innumerable to young with vision who industrious and thrifty who wil work and save, who willing to labor and to wait For them is offered certainty for the future an( place for their children and childrens children among those of the oldest families of a coming great commonwealth.

MT. Edes' Resignation
(AnchOrage Timesl

Anchorage Times)
 The of the resignation of William c. Edes chairman of the Alaska Engineering Commission received by the people of Anchorage with regret and feeling of deep personal loss. The fact that he will remain with the Commission consulting engineer has, however, contributed largely toward assuring his many friends who feared that his ser vices might be lost to Alaska.
 Since his appointment chairman of the com mission in 1913, MT. Edes has devoted his time and abilities exclusively to the building of the Alas ka railroad It largely through his untirne efforts and constant watchfulness that this project las moved along smoothly and efficiently. With large experience at his command, gained from 9 lifetime spent in the construction of railroads he solved easily problems which would have appeared inSurmountable to with less experience
 The administrative worries of the work however proved too heavy for the physical strength of Mir. Edes and in order to his health it became necessary for him to tender his resignation. The Times joins with the people of Anchorage in ex- pressing the hope that relief from the heavy bur dens which he has been carrying and a much needed rest will restore to him the vigorous health sacrificed in his work in Alaska.

THE DAWSON NEWS AND YUKON
 TERRITORY

The most excellent Dawson News, one of the very best of all the newspapers of the North, issued g 2O-page special edition commemorating Discovery Day-the 23d anniversary of the discovery of gold in Yukon Territory. The paper made wonderful showing of the mineral agricultural, commercial and industrial development of Yukon Territory, and, better yet. of the unlimited future possibilities of that land of romance. adventure and opportunity. The News insists, and it proves its to those who read that Yukon Territory, brilliant as its past has been will generations of greatness far surpassing the most prosperous days that have gone
 The Empire believes The News is right, and among its fondest hopes is that the that is In store for that country will as quickly and be rich the brave and women of the Territory-and the News. and its talented editor deserve to have it, and that would be very very soon and wondrously rich.
