PRIckiNG PoINDExTER's BUBBLE

The suggestion is made by a Seattle newspaper that the delegates from Alaska to the Republican convention at Chicago support the presidential candidacy of United States Senator Miles POindeXter and thus show ap- preciation to the state of Washington for the splendid aid that has been given Alaska by the delegation from that state in congress. Theoretically, this sounds reasonable, and if the can- didate were some other person than Poindexter there would be no good req son why the Alaska delegates to a national convention should not cast a complim entary vote for him. But we fail to see wherein POindexter is . entitled to any such consideration. He accompanied Pinchot on his trip to Alaska when that pinhead conserva- retard the development of Alaska. Poindexter was chasing the same fad and was an able champion of Pinchot's s effort to tie up the resources of this territory.
 Both of these faddists visited Cor dova, and as the Daily Times is famil- jar with the tactics adopted by them to keep Alaska from being developed, it is unalterably opposed to this ter ritory lending it's aid or being a party in any way toward boosting the candi- dacv of a man whom it considers to- tally unfit for the presidency, simply for sentimental reasons-which do not and should not exist.

A PROSPECTIVE INDUSTRY

In last weeks issue of The Dis Alaska forest reserves, and the red well-written article from the pen of MT. George R. Vause, which told of the great paper-making plant, and the possibilities for like industries in the territory of Alaska. This big British Columbia industry, financed by American capital, sought site for it's huge enterprise in Alaska but due to the difficulties attendant ir securing the necessary timber in Alaska forest reserves, and tn red tape incident thereto, the promoters Of the enterprise decided to locate the estab blishmen in British COlum- b;a. Thus, an immense enterprise entailing an initial outlay of some s7,OOO,OOO, and with a daily payroll aggregating 5000, was lost to the. territory of Alaska.
 With this costly lesson before them, the people of Alaska should begin to sit up and take notice. They should make diligent inquiry as to why such big, helpful industries, that prefer to establish their enterprises in Alaska, are driven to foreign because of the fact that practically all the timber lands of the territory are within the confines of national forest reserves, with the consequent difficulties in securing it for com mercial purposes.
 Mir. Vause points out that there are vast timber reserves in South eastern and Central Alaska adapted te the paper making industry, and suitable for practically no other pur. pose. He deals especially with the great Susitna valley, with it's vast acreage of cottonwoods and it's ade- euate water power resources.
 Timber for making paper is year. ly growing scarcer and scarcer with in the confines of the United States proper Timbers grown in the states are adapted for other commercial purposes. True conservation suggests that timbers not suitable for any ether purpose should be employed in the paper-making industry and that timbers adapted to other pur rposes be conserved for these purposes.
 Alaska presents the ideal location for great paper making industries. YAe native product is there in abun-

There are some creatures" said
Mother Toad, 7.who are most peculiar,
but in spite of that fact I like them"
What is peculiar about them and
who do you meant" asked Mrs. Teddy
Toad.
We'll, people are funny" said Moth
er Toad. Mothers only have a mere
handful of children about them,

I've never seen them carrying their
children upon their hands," said Mrs.
Toad. Sometimes I've seen them
carrying one baby in the arms. or one
child upon the shoulders. but lot
of children in the hand-neyer.
How then do you say that they
have a handful of children"
Il mean,' said Mother Toad, that
they don't have thousands of children
like l do. l didn't mean they carried
their children around in their hands,
but that they don't have enough to
count so that they would amount to
a good number.
Il, you see, have thousands, and so
do you.
But even though | am so different
from people | like them. They're
strange and tall and they walk instead
of hop and they eat roast beef and ice
cream instead of slugs and worms and
little insects, but still / like them"
80 do l." said Mrs. Teddy Toad.
You See" said Mother Toad, Il
think creatures are absurd who only
like those who do just the same and
think just the same as they do them
selves.
That's where I am different and
l love folks lots better and have lots
better a time because of that. Just
suppose | said, No, / don't like her;
she wears dresses, whereas l, the toad,
do not Now, wouldn't that be alb
surd?
"Toads help people because they
like them. They DO Il lot of good
work in the gardens, just quantities Of
good work, and upon the farms, too.
But l haven't much use for folks
who're always disliking everyone who
doesn't think the same and dress the
same and act the same as they do.
''They miss so much joy out of life
and. besides. people who want every
one else to agree with them are so
conceited. They have the manner as
though they knew it all and were the
only ones who were right

pie are from toads. I presume they

she laughed.
Il guess they do" said Mrs. Teddy
Toad.
oh. well, no matter; they think
the truth" said Mother Toad.
Now l lay eleven thousand eggs
as a rule in a pool. Sometimes they
change right into toads in few hours.
We don't wait for months like the
frogs in order to become something.

eleven thousand children all at once.
That is something to be proud of. And
everyone of the eleven thousand chill
dren helps on farms and in gardens.

she keeps her children for protection

Now, that is an interesting thing

of course. | suppose it is because
I'm not around where kangaroos are.
But, oh dear, oh dear. how | love TO
think of eleven thousand little tOads
1t must be awful to think of only a
half dozen children. But. | suppose,
their mothers feel that it would be
horrible TO think of eleven thousand
children to wash and to put to bed,
or to send to bed when they got older
and could go by themselves. And
they'd need several schools for one

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-

of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal prepare ion that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
