GO AFTER THE TOURIST BUSINESS NOW

F Steamship companies operating vessels. iff- Alaskan waters are making no secret of their |plaEs for drawing many more tourists to Alas kan tours next season than ever before in sthe past. BotE the American companies look for a great increase in this class of traffic and there Is no question about the Canadian hne being booked to capacity. But all of the steamship companies book through tours, not stopovers They are interested in filling their vessels first of all and not primarily in divert ing any part of the travel through any particu- lar channel or locality. 4
 If all the tourists nssing summer trips to Alaska confined therhselves to through tours, the benefit to any or all communities would be negligible Only by diverting the travel through local channels will the traffic be- come of value to the communities. In other words, 100 tourists stopping over in Juneau and making it their headquarters for week while they take in points of interest ln the vicinity bring more revenue to the town and the district than ten times that number pass ing through on the steamships Occupying the position it does as center of transporta- tion within the Territory, located in the scenic center of Southeastern Alaska, possessing la cilities unequalled by any other community, a scenic highway, two scenic tralls glaciers, and other things the traveller comes North to see, it is not unreasonable to believe that proper advertising would attract a fair per- centage of the total number of persons making the Alaska summer tour. Within a few weeks. the booking of these tours will begin. If Ju- neau is to benefit next season it is not too early ito begin campaign of publicity to that end. Juneau Empire.

 It is in recognition of the "utter futility" of his efforts in behalf of this forlorn and friend less Territory that Mir. Fall has finally ac- knowledged his defeat. And it is in that de- feat that Alaska with profound dejection, sees its own. Mir. Fall has given only another proof of what has already long been known to Alaskans. As things stand now there appears little hope for the Territory. Until Alaska thru some opportune event or the natural course of history, becomes factor in national affairs powerful enough to demand the action that is her right, she will continue to be the victim Of political control grounded deep in the mer- cenary interests of other sections of the United States and of entrenched bureaucracy.

"I a-.r e1 YSs OUR GREETING IN THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1922

We live in material age and in hectic times Never before in the history of the world has life been tuned to so high pitch and played at so rapid beat as is that of the twentieth century. Keyed to the high vibration of the etheric wave the thread of our existence in it's material demands has even reduced matter to vacuity, and through the medium of wireless the orchestration of life has become etheric "jazz. It is reassur- ing, therefore, that the spirit of Christmas remains That in all the madness of the per sonal and national conflict of our era pause can be found for voicing sentiments of peace and good will, is almost the one harmonious strain on which to base ones faith in an ultl- mate and permanent theme. While the spirit of Christmas persists, with it's joy in giving its fervor ii serving, its happiness Tn wishing happiness, the intangible things that give to life it's beauty and melody will in their over tones mute the discordances of materlallty and change them into song. Through the Christmas spirit life is transmitted from "Jazz' to a Christmas carol When the Christmas influence gains to the point that it's spirit shall permeate the affairs of every day in the year, the millen- nium will have arrived For the present how ever, we have this day, and if we mar not It's ideal it's leaven will produce other days of the kind In the making of newspaper we have an opportunity to view the many forces operat- ing upon the character of humanity. We see the good and bad, the sincere and inslncere the selfish and unselfsh. We believe the leaven of good is more active than that of the opposed forces If we have been able to as- sist the right, much has been due to co-opera-' ton and we earnestly solicit a continuation of it.. Our Christmas greeting to you IS one of optimism, good cheer and hearty good wishes

THE FALL OF MIR. FALL

The imminent resignation of Secretary Fall, as announced in the press dispatches of the past week, will be received by Alaskans With
 a definite sense of defeat. Never before has a Secretary of the Interior taken up the duties of his office with such determined and practical plan to relieve the economic lnaladies of Alaska. Backed by the avowed support of President Harding, who, ,like .mapy other Presidents has recognized the 1mpera- tive need of relief for the Territory, ,sSecre- tary Fall set out with the definite purpose of simplifying the conflicts and overlapping authorities which have throttled the develop ment of the country and subjected its pioneers to intolerable hardships and injustices.s That in merely giving voice to such an intention Secretary Fall placed himself open to imme- date and villifying attack, does not lessen the courage of his championship. By species of fanatacism that is singularly prevalent throughout the nation as the result of wide spread and ingenious propaganda, the slight est whisper suggestive of the development of Alaskan resources is seized upon at once as deep-laid plot to ravage the land and deliver it up bodily to rapacious "Interests" And so Secretary Fall became the object of violent and mendacious attack He has been accused of the most dishonorable and corrupt motives; has been set upon by a pack of wolves who, adding to the dog-in-t he-manger tactics of the conservationists the fangs of the sinking in

The coIOred laundresses of Punta
Gorda have been threatening to 20 on
strike this week. It seems that some
one had told them, or the impression
had become prevalent, that they were
to be taxed. This news spread like
wildfire and, according to best avail
able information, a mass meeting of
the laundresses was held, at various
times and places, and they adopted
resolutions. verbal if not written, to
the effect that they would wash
no more clos for the white folk
if they were to be taxed. 1t seems
that someone must have been kid

Cattle Men Said to Have Hired Herd

Fines collected by the city during
the month of February amounted to
500, or $32 more than it costs to
sustain the police department.
Very little, if any, of this amount
was pound fees, cattle having given

months. 1t is said that number of
