STAY WITH ALASKA.

Working conditions in all parts of the country az portrayed the dispatches and told by people of the North who have been witnesses ought to be a warning to people who are in Alaska unskilled labor but the craftsmen, clerks, sales and those in all lines. People working down there in many instances for very low wages in order D make a living. Positions such cost $40 and $50 a week fill a year ago sought for when wages offered are SIS and $2O week. according to recent letters from Seattle.
 It is very clear that any in Alaska who can any of position job here would be far accept it, and probably far better of in the end, than go south to seek employment at this time.
 And further than that, while there is ample evil dence that conditions in the States will not be at the present low ebb for long, the indications very clear that shall have revival in Alaska before they have in the States Next year promises oi be active in mining developments inV Southeastern Alaska than any that have had for sometime, and expect very marked revival of the fishing industry next year. Advancing prices and the meag- of this years pack will without very much doubt make next year good for the fishermen and cannerymen.
 This is time when everything is trying to tell Alaskans to stay with Alaska.
