LET US BE CONSISTENT

The Fairbanks News Miner is opposed to |Governor Bone's publicity campaign in favor of opening up Alaska. It complains of harm that has been done the Territory through the development of it's fisheries, mines and other resources by Outside capital! It also contends that there is none of the various undertakings which Outside capital has tried and failed to do that would not have been successful as q one-man proposition It declared that one good Alaskan with $1 O00 could have made sue cess of any of the large industries that did not thrive as long as their promoters expected them to.
 We'll, if that is correct, suppose we be con- sistent; suppose we correct the evils that have been done by staying the destroying hand Let us compel the Kennecott, Latouche Alaska Juneau, Willow Creek, Kuskokwim, Fairbanks and Nome dredging operations and other mnes that are owned by Outside capital to cease business until Alaskans are able to take them over Let us compel the Copper River and Northwestern and White Pass railways to quit operating trains. Let us prevent any more ships from running to Alaska Let us tie up the vessels that operate on the Yukon River Let us close the canneries and other Let us put up the bars against all those on the Outside who have money invested in Alaska and save everything for the people who live in Alaska, and let us tell the pros pectors not to attempt to get any money from the Outside for development purposes.
 Wouldn't that be fine?-Juneau Empire.

EVIDENCE OF GROWTH

Evidence of gradual and substantial growth of central Alaska is indicated in the trans ference of governmental agencies westward. These transfers cannot be ascribed to the ap- plication of energies seeking to take them to other sections of the Territory, but rather as a natural sequence of swing of the pendulum which carries with it the machinery and func- tions for economic administration of affairs
 Unfortunately, whenever a change of base is made by a governmental agency it is looked upon as favoritism. In the instances of the Alaska Road Commission and the signal corps this is not the case. With a through tele- graph service from Seward to Fairbanks it
 is now possible to transact business by this route that once passed through Valdez over the telegraph line following the Richardson Highway. As sequence of events Seward appears destined to become the second leg in the Alaskr cable system instead Of messages being relayed from Valdez. This will expe- dite cable service and at the same time offer greater facilities for serving the entire west and north of Alaska With this gradual per
 lection of every agency for expeditions busi- ness there is no reason why great era of prosperity should not follow between Seward and Fairbanks-Anchorag Times.

A PERTINENT COMPARISON

When weather is notable 1t Is permissible to talk about it. And certainly the weather conditions of this Winter worthy of note From every section of the country to the south of us have come reports of extraordinary cold Within the past month record low tenn Deratures have been registered throughout the Middle West and as far south Ala bama A score of lives were lost from freez- ing below the Mason and Dixon line, while as many more were totalled in the north from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic coast Un- precedented snowfall has been the order from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and some of the worst Winter gales in history have occurred on both oceans. From the standpoint of those who live Outside this is remarkable enough. But from the point of view of Alaskans it is a matter of keen appreciation. For while the rest of the world has been shivering its timbcrs under sub-zero temperatures and sev- nntv-mile blizzards, Alaska has been basking in sunshine and calm Clear, brilliant days, as scintiant as crystal passing into sapphire nights at temperatures rarely below freezing -these have been the portion of this land of supposedly Polar climate. Those accustomed to think of Alaska as land sombre and congealed the year round will find revelation
 
 has gone no lower this month of the year than 12 degrees, and most of the time has played around 32. and that of the months thirtv-one days, IS have been clear and calm. Already the feel of Spring is in the air. Easter Sunday finds new buds on the way. And this while the Southland shivers and shakes in the co]dest weather recorded in fifty years! It is condition of which Alaskans, with all due condolences, beg its Outside brethren to take note In but two respects has this been an uncommon Alaskan Winter. The snowfall has been less than usual and therefore there have been more clear days. But the temper ature has not been more mild than the ther- mometer is accustomed to record. In the Interior, where the Winters are always clear and the snowfall light, there have been the usual sub-zero records. In other words, the Alaskan climate as whole averages warmer and more equable than that of the Middle

ALASKA MAY SETTLE COAL QUESTION

It begins to looks as though some day, with the extensive opening of the Healy, Chicla- loon, Eska and other coal mines in Alaska that the people of this Northland will be sup piled with necessary fuel at reasonable price, and that we will not have to depend upon the Canadian market for coal to supply Alaska homes and manufactures. The out side market is usually kept in state of un- certainty. A coal strike in the United States is nearly always being just settled.
 It now develops that after weeks of negotla- tions bituminous coal operators and mne union officials have reached wage agreements which apparently will mean DO coal strike at least for another year. Amicable settlement of wage differences was due in part perhaps to intercession of the United States Goal Commission, which asked the miners and oper- ators please to hold off strike until the com mission could complete its investigations and make recommendations relative to the entire coal industry.
 It is notable that the new agreement IS virtually the same as the basis of mine oper-

FORMER SULTAN TIRED O1JT

Former Sultan Mohammed VI has snon enough of the worlds turmoil and desires f., spend the rest of his days in quiet reflection m Mecca, where he IS now the quest of Kiuo. Husseln, sovereign of the Hedjaz.
 The deposed head of the Turkish State re- gently told Charles R. Crane that he wou1 never resume his position as head of tho Mohammedan world unless there was a united call for him from the faithful. His most cherished hope, he said, was to find final resting place in the sacred city of his fathers where he has found refuge.
 The conversation was carried on over 4l,. long distance telephone between .Jedda anJ Mecca, for no Christian is permitted to en+nr the forbidden city. The venerable refugee told Mr. Crane that his health was good He also inquired after his American friends
 King Hussen has done evervthino to com tribute to the comfort and entertainment of the eXiled sultan He has placed all his horses and hunting dogs at his disposa1 fo, lhe former monarch IS great lover of ami malls and IS fond of hunting and drivjno. Tn- oeed' the knS of the Hedjaz has thrown open hls entire estates to his distinguished visitor
 The former Turkish ruler spends much of ms tlmN Tn the study of religious books and m 1ntrospection. He receives European and American papers regularly and follows with keen interest the progress of events in Con- stantnople and the rise of the new Turkey. Many ot h1s former supporters keep in touch with him by letter, advising him of the trend of things in Angora. General Harrigton sends hlm word occasionally about his welfare of the four wives he was forced to leave on the banks of the Bosphorus.
 That the deposed sultan still enjoys great popularity and respect from Mossulmens is shown by the hearty greeting he receives from the populace of Mecca and the long lines of pilgrims that daily come to the sacred city from afar. Whenever he appears in public with his little son, he is given as warm an ovation as King Hussein himself Every Fri day the king and his guest repair to the sacred mosque to do homage to the memory of the founder of the Mosem faith

EASTER

Easter's new hope arises from grave! The exuberant promises of Spring always do come from previous burials..
 But Spring always is the season of hope and promise, of a rising in greater richness and beauty than was the sowing. Our disap- pointments, our losses, our hardships, were sown, buried There let them lie! Let Hope arise, let the dead past give rise to a brighter present and future. Help on the promises of the verdant Spring with new vigor, new life, new cheerfulness.
 We can do much by cheery speech, by cheer ful faces, by happiness in work, by trust in the fuiure to bring on the good times we are always looking forward to.
 Keep smiling, keep keen and fresh, keep busy, forget the dead past trust the future that is the lesson of Spring, and of the Easter nope!

"PAINT UP" FOR HEALTH'S SAKE

"Paint-paint your walls, floors and cell ines often.'' says Dr. Leonard Keene Hirsh- berg, of John Hopkins University, in his "Why It's Cheaper to Keep Well-Preventlon the Way.'
 A "clean up' without "paint up'' IS use- less and absurd. Not only because houses that are unpainted eye-sores appear ugler ana more conspicuous after "clean up''-but be- cause the painted surfaces, inside and outside, can be kept clean, sanitary and germ proof.

ations at the present time. And still further notable that the present basis, agreed upon after the long strike of last year, is Virtually the same' as that which prevailed prior to beginning of the strike
 But it is not clear that the parties to the agreement are convinced of the futility of their differences, or that the welfare of the public will be a sufficient bar to further differences that may lead to a strike There still is evident the necessity for removal of the fundamental problems of the coal industry before the hope of permanent peace and serv- ice to tho public can be established
 The temporary Hull in hostilities in the in dustry will give the coal commission chance to try it's hand at solution of the problem of over-development and surplus employees which have kept the coal business in arms against itself for years.

ALASKA AWAKENING

Obvious proof of improvement in Alaska business is shown in the statement of its con- merce during 1922, which exceeded in value that of the previous year by nearly twenty one million dollars
 One -fish-totaled $59, ,79O for the year in exports.
 The mining industry, too, showed new life. The production for export last year was one million dollars over the figure of the previous year.
 The wood pulp industry has made a begin ming, with one plant in operation. The pres cnt year will show a great advance in this industry.
 Alaska was hard hit by the war It's young mon joined the Army, and it's industries, ex- cept copper, waned. Now it is coming back strong.
 Just now it is expecting the greatest years business, and the greatest volume of tourist travel in it's history.-Seattle Post Inteli- 9encer.

This season there are decided signs
that the slip-on r'ember of the knitted
outerwear family will carry alI be-
fore it. 1t will be remembered that
the sleeveless sweater enjoyed
period of popularity in the summer,
and it almost seems as if the slip-on,
in administering rebuke, had caused
the pendulum to swing way over iii the
opposite direction, and one sees more
!slip-ons now than ever before.
Even lafe autumn days are not too
cool to go without a coat if one is
provided with slip-on, and so varied
fare they in type it seems that one
would never tire of selecting them.
And then when the days prove too
chilly to sally forth uncoated the,
sweater is again the choice. 1t fits
smoothly under the jacket, and at thd
same time provides just the desired
amorrt of warmth.
The slip-on is a sweater of so many
. moods that it can keep pace with those
h of its wearers. There is, for Instance,
y the mo''Vir sweater, cut along straight,
youthful 1lnes,t which may be worn
with or without slender belt, accord
ing to the wishes of its wearer. It's
aleekline landings are diversified, to
say The least One style which is alb
solutely new and is meeting with,
marked success, reflects the vogue for
things Russian with its neckline cut
round, and reaching to the base OF the
throat. 1t is eminently suited for
culd weather wear. The closing, only
q few inches long. allows the sweater
TO be easily slipped over the head.
Color is introduced in divers ways--in
striped .bandings which outline tho
neck and trim the sleeves at tho
wrists; and if there is a short sidcl
opening, the striped handling is rel
peatcd. Camel color and various brown
shades continue to be favorites.
