ALkSkA'S NEW GOVERNOR
tfrom Da wson News)

tFTdln Dawson NewS)
 The many readers of the nlwson News, especially the numerous sub- sciibers to the paper who live in east ern Alaska :nd find this paper the nearest to them and the one most eX- will be interested in the announcement that .L new governor has been named for Alaska. The appointment is one so generally concerning the welfare of the entire Northland that rcsidenss of Yukon Ter"itorN, the Canadian lo- Hnstin, also are much interested in the now appointe". In his hands rests mucA of responsibility and good will touching future development of both territories. His recommendations re gardins the nratiic of Yukon throush Alaskan waters and along its coast, Noi':.h, the encoura cement of immi grafton into the land of the midnight sun. and other matters not necessary to now detail may effect this terri .o'y far fune than some might inag- inc. If Alaska prospers, Yukon us- ullly gathers q share of the prosper ity. 4 progressive policy in the neigh boring territory always affords an ar gurnent for Yukon. The relations in this respect are reciprocal.
 scott C. Bone, the new governor for Alaska. has q wide acquaintance With northe7r needs. While he has not been in Alaska as much Il. some others who aspire to the position or as much as some of his predecessors, he has kept close in touch with its needs ny reason of having been at the head of the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. an in stitution which has done q world of North. He .s a level headed. hard working and practical type of man of undisputed integrity and i' is doubt ful if President Hai,ling could nave found outside of Alaska Republican, more generally holding the confidence of the people uf the North and better qualified for the position.

AN ALASKA AGENT tf'rom AlaSlta Daily CapitaD

The suggestion of John Noon that Alaska keep an agent in the city Of Washington has both precedent and merit. The city of Seattle keeps one or two men :hcre all the time as also does Tacoma.

RED CROSS RESCUED
100000 FROM DEATH
Spent s1,2OO,OO0 for Relief of
!. Famine Sufferers in China
Last Year.

To help overcome conditions of acute
distress In five famine stricken prov
inces of Northern China, where mil
lions of persons were affe cted by an
unprecedented shortage of food, the
American Red Cross during the last
fiscal year spent more than S1,200,00O,
$1OO0,OO0 of which was contributed di-
recty by National Headquartels and
the remainder by various groups IN
terested in the welfare of China.
Through the wide relief operations
thus made possible it is estimated that
more than 100000 famine sufferers
were saved from starvation.
To the end that similar prompt re-
lief measures by the organization may
always be possible the Red Cross Is
asking continued support by the Amer
lean people by universal renewal of
membership at the Annual Red Cross
Roll Call, November IL to "a.
The method of relief employed by
the American Red Cross in its opera
lions in China was particularly effec-
tive, for In addition to saving hundreds
Of thousands of lives 1t provided China
with more than 900 miles of permanent
roads that are sorely needed to pre-
vent a recurrence of famine. At one
time the Red Cross employed $4,000
Chinese workmen, paying them in food
for themselves and dependents, this
food being brought in from Manchuria
and elsewhere.

 It is predicted that much construc- tton work held up because of past con- ditions will be authorized in 1921. A large financial corporation has sug- gested that the earlier one builds the better, since an unusual volume of building would tend to raise the cost of construction once more.
 Frequently mans determination to build depends upon the selection of suitable lot. Local realtors inform us that lots in desirable residential sec tions are constantly growing scarcer. The Birmingham Realty company re- gently mads this statement: If you have any doubt as to the supply of available lots, we suggest you endeavor to locate one for yourself" Jemison further asserts that when the rapidly diminishing supply of improved prop erty in preferred residential districtsis exhausted, the pre-war prices now ex- isting will no longer prevail
 Owing to the scarcity of available houses, present-day rents are so high. until in the course of few years a | have paid out the price of a lot. if not a home. But the rented house will con- tinue to be a necessary evil until peo- l pie realize that rent is an investm ent that pays no dividend, while every dol lar paid on a. home is money laid away,
 Tn this article the arguments ad- i vanced in favor of immediate building are all of practical nature; but there
 are also reasons of sentiment which
 should not be ignored. It is the ambi- tion of every normal man to own 0 l home The home feeling is an asset of | the highest value, for it pays richly in
 a sense of self-respect, of more respon- | sible citizenship, of more poise as a
 member of the community, besides giv- l ing profound personal satisfaction and enriching the spiritual values that arise | out of family ties and affections. Taken all in all. you can make nc
 other investment that is so rich in re- turns both sentimental and practical,
 as in building your own home.

 The recent federal census discloses the fact that Birmingham has increased more than one third in population since 1910 During the last four years of this period. owing to government restriction and the high cost of ma terial and labor, building was almost at a standstill.
 The result has produced a shortage of houses unparalleled in the history of the city. Newspapers have told of people living in tents; of families camped amidst their furniture In the streets on moving day, because there were no houses into which they might move. and many want ads" around the rental seasons are absolutely pathetic in their disclosure of desperate situa- tions. Commissions have been appoint ed in many cities to study conditions and deal with the housing problem high rents and proffteering.
 The demand for houses has continued to grow, and the problem has become more and more intense. To add to this situation is the constant influx from the country and small town, to the al- ready crowded cities. which, according to the federal authorities, are increas- ing seven and one-half times as rapidly as the rural districts.
 Many who have wanted to build dur lnS recent years nave rtlIdiHeu oH dN- count of the high cost of material and labor. thus keeping building operations far below normal. But the adverse conditions which have made building costs so excessively high are passing rapidly. Producers of building ma terial are offering concessions to at tract immediate business. Labor is plentiful and cheaper, and money rates are becoming easier.
