future of Alaska will show it the worlds grazing land, that the rein deer and musk OK will take their places alongside of cattle and sheep in the worlds markets, and that Seattle, the gateway of Alaska, will prosper because of this fact. Next year, according to Stafansson, the United States Secretary of Agri- culture will propose legislation en- abling this country to develop do- mestic possibilities in its northerly territory and men of adventurous disposition will flock to the far north, just as pioneer American plainsmen were lured to the cattle grounds in the early days of the west.
 At the home of H. c. Henry, 1117 Harvard Ave. N., Stefansson this . morning was informed that Arch. deacon Hudson Stuck of Yukon Ter. ritory had received the Back Grant from the Royal Geographical So- ciety.
 "I am pleased to hear it," said the famous explorer "He is a de lightful fellow and deserves the honor"
 Stefansson explained that the Back Grant is a sum of money be- queathed by Sir George Back tc men whose explorations are of value to the world.

 ALL OF INDUSTRIES
Stefansson Declares that the His tory of the World Confirms the Future of the Far
 North.

History shows that the star of empire flows to the North,'' said Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the famous explorer of the frozen Arctic, in his address before members of the Chambes of Commerce and the Com mercial Club and the Hundred Per Cent Club at noon today in the Masonic Club rooms in the Arcade Building, says the Seattle Times.
 "The history of civilization shows nations first living in countries near the equator and then spreading northward. Also, oddly enough each nation which later gave way to more northerly neighbor raised the cry of it's too cold to live com fortably there
 Rome replaced Greece as world empire, Spain, country north ot Italy, when she assumed world do- imitation thought France and Eng land worth little because of their land hesitated to accept Canada from France because it was a bar ren, cold region. And so, history proves that civilization shows a tendency to move away from the equator. Therefore, I wish to say that Alaska and the virtually un. developed portions of Yukon Terri tory offer unlimited possibilities foi the future''

The Great Debate

The United States nov ap-
proaches a historic decision. The
League Of Nations project compares
in importance only witn the great
anti slavery debate that precipitat-
ed the Civil War, and the action of
the United States in 1917 in enter
ing the World war. The proposed
League is admittedly a departure
from the traditional American poll
cy. But the action of this country
in sending troops to Europe was
also in violation of all precedents.
The mass of the quiet people in
their homes, pouring over their
newspapers by their evening lamps,
are the final jury and ratifying
powers.
The League of Nations question
should be debated in every village.
Speakers for and against the pro-
ject should be heard.
Here in Monroe City let all real
ize that this question comes home
into daily life. This community can
not be happy and prosperous while
threatened by the possibility of
war. 1t must give its most serious
thought to the question of the best
means for averting war. Is the
proposed League organization the
most hopeful suggestion, or some
other form of association. or no
such organization at all? All ele-
ments of business mems associa-
tions, ministers labor unions, wom-
EMS clubs, should discuss it.
Ii is question to be approached
without passion or party spirit, The
world has suffered untold miseries
from war. Ii must give its most
anxious thought to any proposition
advanced as a means of averting q
renewal of these horrors

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. l8.--This has

the air which is bringing out the first
display of new season furs and heavy
dresses. With the passing. of warm
weather straw hats went into winter
limbo and the few daring beach maids
who insisted on taking their daily sun
baths in abbreviated costume wore
sweaters decked out with fur collars
and edges during their strols on the
strand Most of the boardwalk outfits
include furs either as trimming or en-
tire overgarments.
The boardwalk took a holiday Tues
day for the purpose of extending for
