LET THE GOOD WORK GO oNl

The announcement that Alaska has been made a separate rivers and har- bOrs district and that Col Steese will be in charge here for the engineer corps of the army, with Capt. Ward as disbursing officer, is pleasing in- formation for Alaska. It means that hereafter all matters concerning rivers and harbors improvement in Alaska, all questions as to to men, aces to navigation, permits to es- tablish fish traps and all other mat ters and things in Alaska that re- quire consideration by the engineer corps will be submitted to men who are familiar with Alaska, who have proved their great interest in the territOry's welfare, men of the high est ability and character whom we have learned to regard as real Alas kans. It will mean a shortening of the red tape between the discovery of needs and action, and naturally, more satisfactory and quicker results.

ALASkAN'S PROMISE TO HER
 PEOPLE

pr. E. W. Nelson of the United States biological survey estimates that within a few years Alaskas S reindeer industry will be furnishing for export more than $4O,000OO0 a year. When that stage of the indus try shall have been reached the rein deer business will rank with the fish ing and mining in importance of the north.
 Alaska shipped last year into the markets of the country and to the government hints and assay offices products to the value of $68,000,000 mostly from our mines and fisher ies which are capable of almost un- limited further development It is estimated by the forestry bureau that southeastern Alaska alone is capable of producing for export 1,50O00O tons of paper a year. At present prices this would be worth about $200,OO0- 900 at the mills. Now Dr. Nelson estimates that the reindeer industry
  will add it's $40,0O0,OO0 or more. We have not yet begun shipping coal or oil, and there are possibilities in the agricultural line. Then millions should be coming into the territory from the tourists each summer. It is not outside the realms of the pos sible that half billion dollars year will be coming to Alaska each year within the next score of years or less without taking into account money seeking investment.
 No country ill the world offers greater promise to her people than Alaska offers to those who stay with her.-Juneau Empire.

WHO OWNS THE UTILITIES?

Viewed from one angle the electric utility companies might be consid, cred as privately owned, but actual. ly they are publicly owned in the sense that hundreds of thousands of citizens hold their securities and look to them for both service and in, come" says Floyd w. Parsons in 'Everybodys Business" in recent issue of the Saturday Evening Post
 Frequently, in litigations against electric light and power and other utilities, the term capitalists" is used in a manner intended to indi. cate that these utilities are owned body and soul, by the "Big-money" in. terest of the country If MT. Parsons information is correct, it is very ap, parent that the public has been mis. led in this particular, at least to a considerable degree, as he states that in excess of 100000 citizens of the United States own securities of the electric light and power industry.
 In addition to his vast number of securities holders, Mir Parsons points out that each person who is bene ficiary under any one of the fifty-odd million life insurance policies now in force in the United States is finan. cially interested in the utilities through the fact that approximately one-third of the total assets of Ameri can life-insurance companies, which are estimated to be approximately seven billions of dollars, are invested in public utility stocks and bonds, and that the twenty-seven million de positors in American banks are finan, cially interested through the fact that hundreds of millions of dollars oi assets of those banks are loaned on electrical utilities securities.
 Thus it would seem that a consider able number of the citizens of the United States are directly or indirect ly financially interested in the cleo tric light and power industry and in other public utilities, and that legislation or adverse action affect ing these utilities affects directly the pocketbooks of these millions who have loaned their money to the utili ties for development purposes.
 Heretofore, these facts have not been generally known, we assume

largely because the public has been too ready to believe the insinuation, and often the direct charge, that only "big business" had a financial inter- est in our utilities.
