1922 WILL BE
 "ALASKA YEAR" Seattle Daily Times Sees Glorious Things Ahead for Alaska;
 Era of Growth

Tho following ray Of sunshine for Alaska illuminated the editorial page or a recent issue of Che Seattle Daily Times:
 The biggest campaign Seattle win conduct during the coming year win be designed to open up Alaska Co capital. settlers and industry.
 That campaign yin be successful because lt win be backed by Che Harding administration. upon which dpyolyos the duty of making Che government-ownod Alaska Railroad pay
 Nineteen-twonty-two will Doe Alas ka Year" in Washington State and in Washington. D. c.
 Seattle can help the administra- ton. the territory and Itself by help ing to speed the unshackling Of Che Northland
 We have been talking rather vaguely of the "somethlng" that would happen. as always has been the case. to end inaction in this city and start it moving ahead faster in business. population and commerce.
 During Che ten-year period from 1910 to 1920. Alaska's commerce. aggregated more than S65O,OO0,OOo. The greater part Of this enormous business passed through Seattle.
 Yet. during Che same time. Che territory's white population decreas- ed 10000. or approximately from 37.00O Go 27.O0O.-
 Imagine what would be the vol- ume Of its business were its white population to increase 100000 in Che next ten years. with inevitable development Of agriculture and in- dustries,
 Yet. no one who is acquainted with the Northland doubts for a single moment that if the government ace lively encouraged capital and aet- tiers. Alaska would register an inc crease Of 10000 population annually for Che next ten years.
 And. even then. its resources would be only in small part utilizedi
 Tho completion of track-laying on tho Alaska Railroad this year was Che biggest event in the recent his- tory of Alaska-and also of Seattle.
 Passengers and freight can now be sent in from the sea to Fairbanks. But two bridges remain Co be built and the steel for one Of them reach ed Seattle several days ago. The other win be put through as soon as this Congress appropriatcs necessary money.
 The railroad means transportation to Che interior 10 also means such interest in territorial development as the government never previously ex- hibited
 The shacklos arc Go be stricken from this enormously rich country. Let Seattle speed the liberatns of Che Northland!
 With thc opening Of Che Last American West" to development and settlement. Seattle will enter upon its greatest period Of expansion and prosperity.
 1T we make 1922 an "Alaska Year" we will also make it "Sc- atte Year"
