WASHINGTONfA April IS. - Untold millions in natural resources lie in United States territory under the glare of Alaskan skies.
 Up in Northern Alaska, where the summers are but thirty-five or forty days old, where the dead of the long Arctic winter the mercury registers 60 or 70 degrees below zero, and where the ground is frozen forty feet deep, oil and coal abound.
 Undeveloped barren wastes in snr- prisingly fertile and productive roun- try promise before long to echo with the cries of "mushers" urging their dog teams on to stake out" claims that hold in the offing the goal of unlimited wealth.
 That's the country the United States is preparing to develop, according to Secretary of the Interior Fall, who now has under consideration develop ment plans that call for extension of transportation facilities to bring out the wealth of resources the Harding administration has every reason to believe exists.

HAS RIDDEN IN VAIN"

Far removed from the seat of the federal government, aloof, compara- lively unknown save for it's scenery and gold, Alaska has bdden in vain for fair recognition and just treatment for the fifty-odd years since it's pur- chase from Russia for the modest sum Of $7,20O,0OO.
 Every Governor of Alaska has pre- sented it's needs, often in picturesque terms. and some of those needs nave been met through piece-meal legisla- tion, But the paramount need of CO., herent, constructive, upbuilding fed eral policy for Alaska has gone un- needed"
 Governor Bone summarized the needs of Alaska as follows:
 A co-ordinated and simplified sys- tenn of government, with bureaus nav ing jurisdiction in Alaska, consolidated under one department head at Wash ington.

 Already according to information obtained from the Interior Depart ment, California interests are plan ming immediate invasion of the new fields.
 The wealth hidden under the Arc tic region is not dream. It is a real ity of startling dimensions, according to Governor Scott C. Bone, whose do- main is Alaska.
 "It's there; we know it." declared the Governor, who was in Washing ton recently seeking Congressional favor on joint freight rates and the extension of the Government railroad into the interior Of the country. "UNDEVELOPED ALASKA IS RICH"
 Alaska has it. The undeveloped part of Alaska is rich, just as is the developed part. People generally have a misconceptiOn of Alaska. I have eaten lettuce grown in our own gar dens. We have a wonderful produc- ton of wheat. We have a great coun- try, and we want the people of the United States to know it."
 c. w Smith, prospector, who has spent many years back of dog-team, travelling 22,OOO miles through Alaska during the short summers and the dreary, cold winters, was also in recognition of the Far North country. He backed up everything that Govern or Bone said of it.
 Alaska needs capital" declared Governor Bone Alaska needs peo- pie. It's natural advantages are ob- vious. It's resources are apparent and real. It's opportunities are inviting and manifold.
 But chaotic system of govern ment has repelled capital and retard- ed growth and population. Liberal ized laws for Alaska and more flex- ible rules and regulations under such laws with a concentration of author ity and responsibility and an adminis- tration co-ordinated and brought closer home, and clearly needed to speed the progress and development of the ter ritory.

toners to be drawn by his ads.
Advertising is a live, vital part
of any live publication. and should
carry a live selling argument, and
this cannot be done with a very
small ad that is not changed in
wording frequently enough to give
it a reader value, which is the case
is most local advertising at the
present time, due to the prohibitive
cost of larger advertising in three
issues a week.
So there we have valid reasons
why a weekly paper will be Of
greater value to the reader and ad-
yertiser, first to be considered by
any newspaper. For the editor and
those employed it will mean elimina-

will mean that those subjects which
should be touched upon editorially
will be given the time necessary to
treat them effectually, and it will
mean, we believe, in the end, a
greater profit.
We also believe that many other
newspaper publishers could well
take similar steps, and know from
experience that it is only a matter
of pride that prevents, as it did in
this case. even though mature de-
liberation proves such pride to be
false. We may be wrong and we

SO possibly our injury was caused
only by those who put the dollar

laid either in an undeniable thirst

Advertising is not charity-it is a

What is the result of the con-

By eliminating a great deal of me-

time to properly prepare the news
