1t is praiseworthy effort that the Nome people

Her business proving that they wide
awake to the opportunity offered them by the pres
attitude of interest in the Territory being dis
played in every part of the United States. Capital
is looking for place invest where it may be

Commenting the work undertaken the Mug

most optimistic hopes if the enormous resources of
the surrounding district exploited and made pro-
ductive and the highly desirable result be
achieved only by advertising broadly as possible
Not only is this of Nome but it applies equally
to other towns in the Territory, including Juneau
Our own town needs outside capital to realize the
immense possibilities of its potential Three
of these, fishing, mining and timber for making
wood pulp, require considerable investment to make
them commercially beneficial to the town. And Ju-
neau is a center for all of them.
Juneau, situated than any of its neigh
bors to the fishing banks has less than any them
in the of the fishing industry. From geograph-
zeal reasons alone, it should be ahead of all other
Alaskan towns, and when the other advantages, the
fact that the town is center of shipping its port
facilities, the banks and large business houses nee
essary to supply credits for legitimate trade purposes
are considered make it beyond all question the
desirable town in the whole Territory for the loca-
ton of any big fishing enterprise

ment of a big central paper manufacturing plant on

possibilities of this district when said that COM

posed plant is really more than incident Ju-
neau and the Gasneau Channel, but it merely
serves to emphasize the great future for the pulp
industry and those allied to it. It. like fishing and

HARVEST RESULTS ENCOURAGING

The Governments monthly report crop con
ditions and especially it refers to grain yields
is encouraging than previous reports had given
expect. The latest figure for wheat, 909,-
ing in the larger wheat producing States has prac-
ticaly been completed. Texas harvesting came to
end two weeks and in both Kansas and Ok
ahoma the heaviest portion of the yield has been
threshed.
The yield while not record one, is still much
better than was generally looked for all the
country. 1t, together with the unmarketed surplus
from last years crop, will give the country more
than 1,00o000.o 600 bushels to 20 until the next
harvest There main for the gen
eral improvement in this crop The grain has gem
orally speaking, been harvested under ideal cond-
tions, favorable weather being reported from the
Texas fields northward through Kansas. The farm
have not been handicapped by the shortage of
help it had been feared up the very beginning
of the harvesting Skilled workmen in the crafts,
idle because of strikes, contraction of employ
ment college boys their summers vacations,
have taken advantage of opportunity to get out in
the open air the time good money.
and replaced the skilled farm hand large
degree general of tractors, also was
a not inconsderable factor in the ability OF the
wheat growers to the entire crop
The Governments report of corn, oats, barley,
potatoes, rice and other food commodities is even
more encouraging than the wheat figures. Corn, it
is predicted will exceed last years yield Oats and
barley month showed like promise This is
the first official report and upsets the
market experts calculations which had forecast Sc
disappointment for the country when it should
be issued.
Such encouraging predictions with the season as
far advanced is the case, indicate that there
need be alarm the food situation at least
insofar these commodities concerned No
flour famine need be anticipated and other cereals
harvested in sufficient quantities make a supply
available at reasonable prices.

BASTILLE DAY

Tomorrow being the 141st anniversary of the
taking of the Base, the famous French prison. ny
the French revoutionsts will be celebrated by the
neonle of that nation in the manner IN whlch
ten DAYS ago Americans celebrated their fourth Vi
1ulv and to each nation the celebrations have the
same significance Since 1917 many Americans nave
given the French holiday considerable attention and
are now at home will call mind its observance on
French soil.
One year before the fall of the Bastille, french
army aided the American continental armies IN
breaking the backbone of British military power III
the colonies and paving the way for eventual rec
ognition of American independence by Great Br-
tain In 1917 American soldiers trekked to France
to aid France and England in destroying the great
est military menace the world has ever known
What the French did in 1878 had no precedent and
had never been initiated with equal risks until it
was duplicated by the United States on scale com
mensurate with the enormous effort required by
as one man to make good. The spirit of rs was
matched by the spirit of II in which the fight was
waged for a principle and compensation sought
1t is this spirit which is exemplifed by Amer
icas celebration OF July 4, and Frances observance
of July IA. In message for tomorrow to the Amer
lean Legion Frances Ambassador to the United
States, M. Jusserand, says:
THE sentiment which, in the hour of need i'm
PEELED the French to to America and the Amer
leans to go France is of the rarest that it con-
tinues to exist active force is an honor and a
safeguard for and for humanity
Let u.s." he concludes in single accord keep
the fire of friendship burning. 1t is an honor for
us that it continues; it has stood in good stead;
may still need in the future its heat and its
fight"

Senator Shields of Tennessee is of the few

Missouri Democrats repudiated Mr.. Reed long ago,

Reassuring to degree is the advance report
OF the Secretary of the Treasury. 1t indicates a
balancing budget There is reason for
relief in the fact that large deficit has appeared
to add to heavy taxes and bond issues a still
greater weight The public may be found to
be unable to carry such added burdens
Further cause for rejoicing is that new debts
fraught with danger to national credit already con-
slderably disturbed, are being piled up This find
ms of the Treasury to be in a comparatively salts
factory condition calls for thankfuness, and, should
no new obligations be accepted progress in this
gratifying direction may be expected To shoulder
such obligations would prove to be iniudicous un-
less they possess the full justification of public
need.
Had Congress yielded to multiple demands on the
resources of the Treasury-and in no small number
these demands were made-added taxes and addi-
tional bonn issues would have been inescapable
Further, a. highly unsatisfactory, it downright
