neither was seriously hurt but their
mother was dead.

Secretary Falls Proposal.
Cincinnati sEnquirer.)


In recent speech Secretary Fall suggested the
availability of source from which payment OF
a soldiers bonus easily might be derived. But a
fcarefu consideration of the matter does convn ce
one of the practcability of the suggestion.
Secretary Fall declared that Alaska can pay the
bonus if the wonderful northern territory is properly
developed. He asserts that the Government, in time
as result of such Development would receive $12,-
-000, 600 600 in royalties from COAL oil and other min
eral products He tells of camel coal deposits which
underlie unbroken 600 miles long by 1875
miles wide, and is only ten inches feet below
the surface
These statements indeed attractive. The Sec
rotary very likely is accurate in all that he says 1t
is a matter of general knowledge that the oil supply,
for instance, in the Territory practically is unlimited
Large quantities, the Secretary reminds u.s. have
been flowing out of the ground into the for
centuries
But Alaska is not developed. 1t is far away It's
development would take time. Perhaps the Govern
ment might work out plan by which it could
anticipate its eventual vast income from this source
and thus pay bonus, but that is doubtful. But
what the Government could and should do as
matter of good business is to follow the Secretary's
suggestion of Alaskan development by liberaizng
laws which now stand in the way of such devel-
opment.
That $4,000 900 900 would be of mighty assist
aEce in these days of tax oppression. Let be made
available for the future Induce corporations to essay
the development of great possession by Offering
them reasonable leases and leaving them free to op-
crate without hamperng restrictions
Alaska is wonderful land, but it is being neg
lected Vast wealth lies there, awaiting the day when
intelligent craftsmanship shall have opened the way
Efor its liberation There are in Alaska gold and
iron and silver and "copper" gas and oil; there are
furs and fisheres there valuable timber lands
Wheat and practically everything raised American
farms can be raised on large in Alaska Rail-
roads and development of mining farm lands will
bring to the billions the Secretary mentions in a
continuous golden stream.

IT we will, make things pleasant for each other as
neighbors. We can avoid putting obstacles in the way
of business and treat each other not only with
respect but with cordiality.
If President Harding comes to Prince Rupert he
will get reception that will surprise him The
people will welcome him the head of n great
neighboring republic for which they have a profound
respect They will welcome him personally as one
of the big men of the country and as one of the
formers of world policies. They will particularly re-

at his suggestion that the disarmament conference
was held and the fourpower Pacific treaty was forum

find 1t convenient to give a call when he visits
Alaska and will for few hours least accept our
