SUBSCRIPTIONS:
FRIDAY, THE THIRTEENTH

The jinx has been broken, and Fri day, the thirteenth will go down in history as Stewards most lucky day. On this date, President Harding and party first stepped foot in Seward, and from this date we believe that we may look forward to better things for Alaska, with clearer understand ing by the Federal government of our needs and local problems.
 The presence of the President, ac- companied by the three members of his cabinet having the most to do with Alaskan affairs, augurs we'll for Alaska. Many Alaskans, with hearts sick from hope deferred, have believed a President of the United States would never take time from his nu- merous national and international problems, to set foot on Alaskan soil; but their fears have been disproven.
 President Harding's visit has done more to encourage the old sourdough to stick to the ship, than any other one thing could do. We see that his visit presages an increased interest in Alaskan affairs, and smoothing out of differences existing between members of his cabinet and the citi- zenry of Alaska.
 To Governor Scott c. Bone and our Delegate, is Alaska indebted to this visit. At all times they have been in- sistent that the chief executive visit the Territory, and have done much to smooth the way.
 Alaskans can never more call the thirteenth unlucky. It is the day we should emblazon upon our territorial shield, as one to be remembered.

Resurrection Bay needs fog horn and lighthouse at it's entrance. With the large number of vessels entering and leaving this port, it is only thru the skilled training of the pilots and their patience in waiting for favorable weather conditions that prevents many serious wrecks. The coast line Of Alaska is greater than that of the en- tire United States, and yet it has less protection than the coast of the New states.

Hear ing that party had been formed to make the trip to the famous valley she decided to make one of the party.

The Alaska railroad taps half million acres of the finest farming land in the world. The reason this district does not raise more is not be- cause it cannot; but because of lack of markets. We cannot ship our vegetables to the States and compete with truckgrowers there.

Conservation of our fish supply is now of more importance to Outsiders than it is to Alaskans. It is tied up so tightly that the Territory has but little to say about it.
