interest bearing portion of the total deot has been so funded by the Allied hnanciers that, if their calculations hold, after forty years Germany will have paid $33,ooO,- O0O00O.
 Congress appropriated for the military and naval establishments of the United States from June 30, 1920, to June 30, 1921 the sum of $825.837, ,939. The Army any Navy Bills now in conference provide for appropriations variously estimated be- tween $S20,000, GOO and $846, 100000, for the period from June 30, 1921, to June 30, 1922. The 1920-1921 appropriation may therefore be taken fairly representative. If it continues to be the scale of American military expenditures then while Germany is paying 33,000, 100000 in separations, the United States will have spent forty times $825, ,S37 ,939. or $33, 4,56O, in warlike preparations
 Both these huge sums are indemnities, whether devoted to reparaton or to prep aration The different is that the people of Germany have had to accept their indemnity burden as unacceptable while the people of the United States escape theirs in exact proportion as they successfully demand that the scale of their military expenditures be reduced.

IMPROVEMENT MAY COME SOON.

The very fact that Americans have paid off five billions dollars debts within the last year is evidence of the ability of the country move forward with great speed when the conditions are adjusted to warrant revival of business tivty, It also accounts, in part, for the seeming depression in business at the present time. The first is true because country that successfully carried $5, 900, 1000 credits than being ried could do 1t again if the conditions would it. The second statement is true because a great deal of the $5, 900 900 900 which applied the payment of debts was withdrawn from business for that purpose Of great this liquida tion brought about by the investment of savings in bonds which were temporarily held by those who purchased them with borrowed money to help the country to win the As sales made to in- vestors the notes given to the banks for these bonds liquidaed
 While business will be at it's best until the affairs of Europe settled so that exchange will permit of world trading there is every evidence that local conditions in the United States warrant the hope that business will be fairly good again as soon as people convinced that the prices com modiies and wages have reached bottom. That prices and wages will drop to pre-war levels is generally believed and, therefore, we should look for the improveme to begin before long. Al people realize that the bottom has been heached there will almost certainly begin a building boom, because the country is greatly in of houses of all For the years there has not been much annual building as prevaile twenty years Practically every city in the country is demanding greater housing capacity, and in which to carry stocks goods and to do business. like condition prevails the farms where people have not been erecting buildings be of the high cost In fact in all lines except only in the industrial centers the country is under built
 What a building boom would mean to the country is too obvious to require amplifcaion. Any wht has lived in town where people building house knows the effect business Put whole Nation at it and the effect would be very marked every where.

MONEY FOR ALASKA ROADS.

The passage of the Army Bill carrying s45O, 900 for Alaska roads fairly active of road building in Alaska this year. and may be ac- cepted indicating a liberal policy the part of Congress for the future. The is less than half the amount asked for by the Alaska Road Commits sion and the Secretary of War last year, but it amounts to substantial approval of the cooperative road building program that has been determined upon for Alaska.
 There should be complete cooperation the part of the people and officials of Alaska in the effort to get larger appropriation for roads next year. Congress should be impressed with the need to expend a million year until all parts of the Territory that possess resources that would be at tractive settlers those seeking opportunity investment in development made available This much is due to the country whose development has been so long delayed through the meddlesome and restrictive legislation and regulations which have made it impossible to deN eop tax producing capacity to do the work without the aid of the Federal Treasury.

Alaska's New Governor.
Dawson News. )

The many readers of the Dawson News, especially the numerous subscribers to the paper who live ln eastern Alaska and find this paper the nearest to them and the most extensively circulated in their section will be interested in the announcement that Governor has been named for Alaska. Tho appointment is generally concerning the wei fare of entire Northand that residents of Yukor Territory the Canadian domain, also much in terested in the new appointee. In his hands rests much of responsibility and good will touching future development of both territories. His recommenda- tions regarding the traffic of Yukon through Alaskan waters and along it's coast the inducement of capital to North the encouragement of immigration into the land of the midnight sun, and other mat ters not to detail may affect this ter ritory far than some might imagine. If Alaska prospers, Yukon usually gathers share of the pros perty. progressive policy in the neghborng ter ritory always affords argument for Yukon. The relations in this respect reciprocal.
 Scott C. Bone, the Governor for Alaska, has a wide acquaintance with northern needs. While he has not been in Alaska much as some others who aspired to the position much o his predecessors he has kept close in touch with its needs by of having been at the head of the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce an institution which has done world of work toward the development of the North He, is level headed hard-working and practical type of man or undisputed integrity and it is doubtful if President Harding could have found outside of Alaska Re publican generally holding the confidence of the people of the North and better qualified for the position.
 Thomas Riggs, Jr. the retiring Governor has set a pace and established record worker and a of tireless energy in Alaska and loyal northerner. He of the pioneer Klondikers ,who helped and to develop this camp, and later had charge of the American branch of the Alaska Yukon international boundary survey, and then oi the Alaskan railway survey and construction on the northern Fairbanks end member of the rail way commission. He is still in the prime of life and no doubt in retiring will be in position to render much aid yet in the future for the Northland.
 While Yukon is not in Alaska and has voice in it's political Yukon is inter- ested in the material welfare of the North and it is to be hoped that the great territories of Alaska and Yukon will continue to flourish and prosper side by lsde and that the friendly and sympah hetic relations (which have characterized the officials of the lrtories and the two governments for years will con Itnue unbroken and thus hasten the Northland's greatest day of destiny.

COVE COMMENTS

The community spirit was
never better exemplifed than
when on Tuesday some thirteen
lucky number) armed with saws,
hammers, etc, invaded lobe
Bison's lot in Beula Park and
framed his house ready for the
sheathing and shingles. This is
the kind of Ku Klux Klan that
does things in the broad light of
day in contradistinction whose
evil work is done in the dark. The
members of the Cove Kan who
were on the job were as follows:
Mr.. Porter (captain), Mr.. Gro
sier (colonel), DR.. StOckley (lieu-
tenant), and the full privates as
follows: Messrs. Mclean, New
strom, Earles, Moore, Abram,
Raisbeck, Eden, Seigrist, Hogan
and Renouf. The ladies support
ing company were not behind,
being on hand when they served
a bounteous spread at the Com
munity Hall at midday. Those
present on the firing line were
Mesdames Crosier, Stockley, Rem
ouf, Earles, Thompson, Fjeldal,
Ramquist, Hilge, Eden and Prigg.
Messrs. Doyle and Hunt were
out on important business for the
community which will develop
later on. Other ladies that were
not present contribute to the sue
cess of the raid and all gave a
practical demonstration of their
regard for Tobe. Nobody slapped
their chests and proclaimed that
they were one hundred per cent
Americans, but all did the 1000
American deed, viz, works not
words.
