ALASKA DEVELOPMENT

The prosperity of Alaska at the present time depends upon the de velopment of four of the territory s greatest resources: Minerals, timber, fisheries and oil. Agricultural re- sources are only an incident and will develop as population offers in creased market.
 A bonus on gold would revive the mining industry north, resulting in available capital for the opening of oil. pulp and fisheries. During the past 20 years Alaska has been ex- plotted by outside capital. which de- mands heavy returns for the invest ment. During the past few years the Alaska promoter has deserted the north to operate in the oil fields of the states. Money which here tofore went into mining is now be- ing used to drill for oil The pro motors, knowing mining cannot be carried on at profit. have turned their efforts toward oil. which prod uct has advanced and finds steady market.
 Alaska, after all, depends to a large extent upon mining for gold. Until congress gives the gold pro ducer a bonus or the cost of pro- duction is lowered Alaska cannot eX- pet large self-supporting popula- tion. Today in the west there is little or no new mining promotions. Alaska Dispatuh.

A husband grows tired of friend wife, and begins to wonder how she managed to make trick dog out of him during courtship, and friend wife begins to wonder how she stuck out like a field mouse, and whose whiskers would look just as we'll cut in any other fashion. Then they take vacation and return, fall ing into each others arms.

A CHRISTMAS WISH

Wherever there is sickness, May Santa Claus bring health Wherever there is poverty, May Santa Claus bring wealth; Wherever one is weeping, May tears to smiles give way; Wherever sadness hovers, May joy come Christmas day. To every heart that's aching, May peace and comfort come. And may an outlook rosy Supplant each outlook glum; May friends now separated Soon reunited be, And everyone find gladness Upon this Christmas tree.

PRAISES WORK OF HOOVER

The pope in a special letter to MT.
 Herbert Hoover transmitted through
 Cardinal Gibbons, gives his cordial endorsement to the work of the newly | formed European Relief Council that l is to conduct a national collection for l s33,000,000 to succor the starving and diseased children of Europe. The let ter from the vatican reads:
 Dear Mir. Hoover: Through our 1 beloved son. the Cardinal Archbishop | of Baltimore. We have been again in | formed of the truly wonderful and providential work that you are still l carrying on to meet the grave and manifold needs from which Europe is suffering through lack of food. The splendid services you have already rendered in this regard. which assure you. without doubt, an abiding place in the history of Christian charity and give you unique title in the
 gratitude of the people. fill us alike
 with heratfelt satisfaction and consol-
 ation at the prospect of the great good
 that will thus accrue to the needy multitudes of Europe.
 We have learned that you are est endeavors in a special way in be- half of the suffering little ones. What you did to suCCor the helpless chill dren of Belgium at time when the utter lack of proper food threatened their frail lives-all this is still fresh and living in our memory. At that time we were moved to lift up our voice in praise of your noble initia- tive. and we are all the more disposed to do so now in view of the fact that it is no longer question of saving the lives of the children of one na- tion alone but rather. we are credibly informed, of 3,O0O00O children belong ing to various nations of Europe Urged on, therefore. by the charity of Christ. and sharing as we do in His SptN AttL itNt lSl tll' Iiltlt 'l'N' " ' recommend your present work as strongly and as earnestly as may be to the generosity of all American citi- zens irrespective of creed or party and we feel assured that they whose hearts are always open to every wor- thy appeal will gladly respond with enthusiasm seeing that your work is not confined to any one people, but that it embraces all who are in need without distinction and in particular the innocent children of those who were the enemies of yesterday and who now suffer all the more"
 Americans have every reason to be proud in reading these noble words addressed by the holy father to one of their fellow citizens who in these troublous times has so earnestly worked for the welfare of suffering humanity.--New York America.

TO YOU AND YOURS Our Christmas Wish

 In our hearts and minds are gratitude and good thoughts for you during every day of the year; but Christmas hallows our sentiments and makes their expression fitting and timely.
 Such as we have accomplished and such good as may be traceble to our efforts would not have been possible without your sustaining power and cooperation. If in any sense we have upheld a beacon, you have supplied oil for the lamp. If ours has been chariot, yours has been the motive element which has kept it on its way.

CHICAGO. March 20.-Grain and
packing house products went skyward
IN value this week. Announcement
that Eastern railroads were to supply
Chicago shippers with 5000 cars was
Immediately responsible. New top REQ
ord prices, however, led to subsequent
weakness. Compared with week ago,
corn quotations this morning showed a
net advance of SIC to SIC; oats were
up sc to csc and provisions dearer
by 27c to $2.40 W.
Bulls in the corn market checked
temporarily by uncertainties of the Ger
man crisis made up for lost time as
soon as word came that greatly en-
larged shipments from here were in
prospect Liverpool cables telling OF
resumption OF trading in corn futures
were also construed as favoring an adj
vance. Bullish sentiment was further
stimulated by congress approving the
sale of flour to Europe on credit.

record.
