Issue
ALASKA TO HAVE ANOTHER GREAT
INDUSTRY

The indications very favorable that long
strides will be taken this year to add another great
industry 10 Alaskan activities. The earnestness of
the purpose of the Departments of the Interior and
agriculture to encourage in every possible way the
development of the pulp and paper manufacturing
industry in this Territory cannot be questioned And
those interested in that business have the additional
propulsion of constantly soaring paper prices.
Alaska already ranks first among all the political
divisions in the United States in the production of
food fish export She ranks toward the top in
gold and copper mining, and is first in her fur
yield. She ought to be first in the production of
paper within very few years and, If all signs do
not fall she will be in the midst of prepara-
lions to take her proper place in that direction.
Fortunately for Juneau the first step toward the
development in the pulp manufacturing business has
been taken by Juneauites and the indications are
that the Speel River will be the first pulp
plant in Alaska. Two more companies pre-
pairing for the manufacture of pulp and paper near
this place, and another is planning to begin opera
lions Petersburg.
The outlook is good for growth in population
and industry In this section of Alaska that will
exceed anything that has gone before and that
the start will be made soon

FAIRS SOULD EDUCATE
 AS WELL AS AMUSE

Every county or community should annually hold fair that will give to those in attendance something more than few fleeting hours of amuse- ment. Fairs have too long been look ed upon as closely akin to street carni- vals, where one may go to while away a few hours of leisure or Nor-weary people may find diversion from the monotony of everyday life.
 At many of our county fairs it has been customary to give $100 prizes to race hrses and $25 prizes to cham pion beef bulls, or in other words, to spend the greater portion of the fair appropriation for amusement features and relegate the truly educational things such as stock and agricultural exhibits and judging to a position of minor importance. However, such fairs do not fully measure up to their opportunity for service, as the real purpose of fair is to educate the people to the possibilities of the sec- tion by bringing together the best pro- ducts of the land, so they may be judged and the reason for their ex- cellence explained.
 Fairs that are truly educational play a prominent part in helping along the cause of better farming, and we hope those in charge of our county and community fairs will exert them selves in making heir fairs worth while.-The Progressive Farmer.
