Alaska has the better of Canada in ifs attractions to settlers. said Jack Lmcko. associate editor of the Anchor age Times. before the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. at the Arctic Club.
 "Centralizc the government and abolish the bureau control at Wash ington, D. e. urged Mir Lincke Do this, and Alaska promises to produce more wealth in the ensuing ten years than in all the years preceding
 Mir. Lincke said experiments of his own convince him Alaska can grow the hardy vegetables and all the hard grains, and also excellent potatoes There is a broad bet along chc govern ment railroal offering exceptional at. fractions to farmers, said Mr Lincke, but first cheap transportation must be provided. It costs as much to bring livestock to this region as their origi- nal price in the states. he added Milo Kelly, member of the first Territorial Legislature in Alaska and veteran sourdough, said government coal pro duction in Alaska is conducted with enormous overhead. The best way of obtaining coal chgaply, he added. is to give a private concern the contract over term of years long enough for them to pay for machinery and make d profit.

IDEAL, TOWN
 WITH NO JAIL
 OR CHURCHES

DNNENPCRT Ia. Nov 25. There are two institutions that Walcott. Iowa, the richest town per capita in Iowa., brides itself in not possessing Thcst are churches and jails.
 In its religious beliefs, Walcott is unique. For more than 30 years the town has been without a church. It once had jail, but like it's only church established 6 years ago and which existed but few years, it was put in the discard While the jail building still stands. there is no yes tigc of church edifice. But there are no locks to the jail and its hinges have routed off. It is never locked.
 We are free thinkers and believe in free American citizenship seven days q week. We do not need preachers to dictate to use We are better off with out them" states Mayor Strohbeen in expressing Walcott's lack of churches
 Mayor Strohbeen states that while any denomination has the privilege of establishing a church in Walcott the people simply will not patronize them, they would have empty pcws and empty collection baskets every Sun day
 "Wo are getting along very well as we are much better than with churches We like to be lot alone. There is no more peaceful or la" abiding town in tho whole United States than Wulcot, Why should NJ" want churches They bring strife and dissenstons We want peace "nI qui". tad commented the towns popular mayor

 Most of the funerals in the town are conducted Johannes Kroeger, who delivers the oration in either German or English, as the mourners desire. Mir. Koeger possesses no church af- filiations or religious beliefs. In other words he is pastor without a creed. Baptisms are unknown in the town.
 In a business and commercial way, Walcott is thriving town. IL has two banks with combined deposits of over $L500,0O0 This is remarkable show ing when il is considered that the population of the town is but &N4. IL has a consolidated school second to uone in this part of the state.
