 Juneau should be the center of this industry. She has advantages that are not to be found In any other town in tho North. She has ample com- mercial and banking facilities. and has a greater .abor supply. She already is transportation center. and the largest city In the North.
 The frs. step toward the, develop. ment of the paper and pulp industry in Alaska was made by Juneauites and those in thia vicinity, The Alaska Pulp and Paper Company at Snst- tisham Is already engaged in the con- struction of pulp plant. which 1t Is planned to develop into a full nedged paper making concern in the course of time. And the Thane pulp and paper project Is well along the way. Constructiin Is expected to start here before Long.
 Several paper projects are being planned for operation in the vicinity of ke:cflk0n, and the people of that city are awake to the opportunities offered in the development of this great industry. And that is line. That does not at all interfere wi.h more intensive development here. There is no reason why both Juneau and Ketchikan should not be centers for manufacturing paper. There will be no competition. for the market is large enough to take the product of all the mills that may be installed in the country. But Juneau should per- init no other town to take the lead She should point the way. and be- come .he greatest of all Pacific Coast paper making centers. Em- pire.

The story in another part of this paper of the UnAnak man who was three years in receiving an express package from Cincinnatti. O.. on &C., count of the mail facilities to the west ward recalls a story of a young man who twenty years ago. went to Attu from New York. on government busi- ness. Before leaving home. he was united in marriage to a fair young miss od his home town. Upon arr1v- ing at Attu he decided to go in busi- ness at the place and sent for his bride. Year followed year and season follow ed season in endless cycle and the bridegroom patiently awaited the ar rival of his loved one. Last May there stepped of a. Pulitzer an aged woman with seven children. who announced that she was the bride of twenty years ago. She had been a score of years in making the trip. The Miner does not vouch for this story but Deputy Marshall Karl Armstrong of Kodiak says: "It is possible that it is true" We do know that mail and transpor- tation conditions are bad enough to have made it an actuahty Valdez Miner.

The shortage of paper promises to be acute after the first of October. the mills in British Columbia having been notified that they could secure no more oil after that date. The Miner has about , tons on hand ye. and no visible supply in sight after that Is exhausted. It takes little over a bundle of paper for the weekly edi-
 ton and at the rate of bundle and Q hah a ton will las. about fifteen weeks. Three tons. or sixty bundles should therefore keep our readers sup piled until about next July. By this time the shortage may be alleviated or Alaskan papers may not need paper. Every possible means of conservation of the present supply should be adopt ed.-Valdez Miner.

Yet there are men in business who will hand out their good money to any scheme outside of the newspapers and never run a Tine to. keep the daily readera informed of their offers,
 Another curious thing about men who always turn down :he newspap- CT advertising canyaaser. Is that they are among the frst to criticize what the newspapers publish and try to dictaAe waa. their line of policy shall be.

SURPRISES THEM

When Mayor Edward Quinn of Cambridge. Mass. one cf the 13 Mas sachusetts delegates to the Democrat ic national convention at San Fran cisco. stopped recently in the Alaska Bureau of the Chamber Of Commerce he looked at a quar.. jar containing ten strawber1deiz from Haines, Alaska, and remarked:

 And does this not all 30 to show us that Aaaasa is indeed. 'ti,e most won. dez7uny misunderstood country in the wor9d?"

Instead of organising a m.n.ng com pany to produce sold worth fifty cents on the dollar why not organize a pulp company to produce pulp worth 200 cents on the dollar.
 Suppose Alaslca had begun ten years ago and invested in pulp mills, one hsh thu: she invested 'n mines, dur ins that time? But no. we could not do this. for the s,ye -nment itself forbade it.

DID YOU EVER GET SOMETHING
 FOR NOTHING

Did you ever get something for
 nothing? If you did. you were stung
 You may pretty well depend upon that. It Is not in accordance with the laws of the universe. We all have to pay for what we get, but the diff ficulty often Is to get value for the money expended.
 Once upon a time. not many years ago. there was a canvasser came tc town taking orders for sold watches. The price of each was mid to be $36 but the canvaseer carried with him s bunch of envelopes. each of whica, contained a coupon said to be worth $2o. The canvasser asked his pros pective customer to draw an envelope and. on finding the coupon. the custo- mer was told how lucky she was for she could now get the gold watch for SIS iastsaA Of 93s. She fell for 1t im- mediately. It was . great bargain.
 As matter of fact tho gold watch was worth only $. % the purchaser, usually lady. was "done" to the ex- tent of $1o. just because she thoush. che was going to get something for nothing. She took big chances in dealing with a stranger without e bus- iness establishment bsaa1nd htm. and she might have lmown she was being
 player by Ahs clever canvesser. Ladies arc often easy in such matters. but men are caught just e oftsn h other Nns.
 Ihere are many men in bufncss hers who arc not stsAieAt fn their businsss dea,inEs. We are nAkine no paea for them. They can take cara of themselves. The chances are how ever. that the man with . reputable hrsines and . local stock of goods .s always ready "o do business honestly and there is usually a comeback if anything is wrong. The traveaing canvasser. however. has nothing 10 1oss in the way Of reputation. He may be honest and sive gooa value for money. but there is no surety that he will, and therei no recouyse If he is a crook. When customer has been duped few times he usually gets wise. hut every sAleannn has . new tale to tell.
 What Is true of agents selling goods is also true of people who come in and peddie advertising. There are busi- neAmen in Prince Rupert who seen to be always ready to fall for any ad- vertasins scheme pu. up by stranger, but when the newspapers % to them with a genuine publicity scheme,

PREDICTIONS AS TO FUTURE

In the year 1882. Patrick Shirriff, a noted English traNeler. visited .he Uni. ted States and penetrated as eal west as Chicago. Upon returning tc his native land he wrote of his i'm. pressions, his description standing to- day as one o6 :he most accurate oi conditions n what was then a tradins post at the confluence of the Chicago river and lake Michigan.
