 Candidate for Terri
 ttoriafi Representative R
To the Friends of Alaska:

10 the Friends CT Alaska.
 4 glance at the map of Alaska will at once show that the Fourth division is by far the largest political subdivi- sion of the Territory, having an area of about 800 GOO square miles, being much larger than many states Of the Union. It embraces the entire water sheds of the Tanana, the Koyukuk, the Kusko- kwim. aud nearly all of the Alaskan portion of the mighty Yukon. It's prin- cipa resource is it's mineral.
 J years ago our division had con- trit, T about Sl0o. 100000 of the total gold and silver output of Alaska tthen estimated at $245,00o 000), far exceed ing the output of any other division of the Territory. It was concededly the richest part of Alaska. From 1905 to 1914 the annual output of the Fourth division was between S8,000,000 and SlO000 GOO. At that time all of the mining districts of the Fourth division were in full blast-Fairbanks, Hot Springs. Tolovana, Rampant, Richard son. Kantishna. Bonnitield. Circle, Fortymile, Eagle; Chandalar. Koyu kuk. Ruby, Iditarod. and the Kusko- kwim. About ,750 mines. including 42 dredges, were in operation, employing some 5000 miners In addition to this there were from 800 to 1000 prospectors in the hills: numerous villages, towns and communities spotted the banks of our rivers, schools were filled, and a general era of prosperity prevailed in our division. Since that time our prin- cipal, and practically only, industry has rapidly deer eased until today each and every one of our mining districts is but a snadow-and a very faint shadow of it's former self. Today those same villages and communities consist of un- occupied tumbledown shacks; the school houses are there, but are empty; today not more than 200 mines are in operation throughout the Fourth divi- sion, employing barely thousand men; the total output for the year will scarcely exceed million dollars while the prospector has gone altogether. Prospecting is q thing of the past. Our population has decreased 70 per cent since 1915. And those of us that re- main fully realize these conditions. but are doing nothing to remedy them.
 What is the matter? We have just as much country as formerly: the re- sources are still here; the minerals are still in the hills and streams: but we have allowed our division to deteriorate and slide back to nature; the other di-

visions are trying to take advantage of this situation, and to secure more rep resentation in our legislative halls on account Of onr diminished population and the relatively small amount of our contributions toward the support of the Territorial government.
 What are we going to do about it? As one gazes from the top of any one of our numerous hills or ridges he sees in every direction, as far as the eye can reach. mountain after mountain, river after river, watercourses lnuumerable, with never a sign of life; truly the prospector's paradise.
 Does it not seem reasonable and log ical. if we have resources in our dixi- sion ready at hand to be discovered and developed, that We should by all means discover and develop them? But how? As stated before, there are no pros pectors in the hills at the present time. and yet the prospecuor was responsible for the historical rush to the Klondike: the prospector paved the way for the Fairbanks communities; the prospector caused the establishment of each and every one of the mining districts of Alaska; in fact. the prospector was re- sponsible for Alaska itself and it's pros perity. Then let us look to the pros pector again to rediscover the Fourth division, and do again what he did be- fore. We should do everything in our power to encourage prospecting; get the prospector out in the hills again and give him everything in the way of encouragement. We have a govern ment railroad, built for the develop ment of Alaska; we have steamboats on our rivers; the Territory should fur nish the prospector with free trans portation for himself and supplies. We have mining inspectors, but very few mines. The Territory should ptace several drills both for placer and quartz under the supervision of these inspect ors, to be furnished to the prospector free of charge. If by the use of these drills anything is developed valuable enough, the prospector will gladly re- imburse the Territory for such assist ance. In word. the Territorial and Federal governments should be induced to do everything possible to encourage and assist the development of the re- sources of Alaska, including the Fourth division. by concerted effort in this direction, it will be but short time before we will have another era of prosperity. The sound of the pick, shovel, dredge and mill will again be heard, and the other divisions will have no cause to complain of our lack of contribution to the Territorial funds, and our population will again far ex- ceed that of the balance of the Terri tory.
 I am candidate for the office of Representative to the next Alaska Legislature-the only one from the outlying d!stricts-being from Iditarod, and pledge myself, if elected, to in troduce and work for srch bill as will bring about the matters outlined above and to do everything in my power to bring back the former prosperity of Alaska and the Fourth division. To that end I earnestly solicit your vote, and would be glad to have such further views from you as would tend to and be beneficial and conducive to the pros- perity of Alaska. Yours truly,
 CHARLES E. TAYLOR.

National Guard Growing
at Rate of I 800 a Month

AT the present time the National
Guard has an aggregate strength Of
10000 men. which is increasing at
the rate Of 1900 a month. In the win
ter months the increase is slow, but
just prior to the training season this
increase is greatly augmented. BY
June 30. 1924, the bureau expects 49,
600 men to be enrolled in the guard,
and by June 80. 1925. it is expected the
National Guard will number 100000
men. and In 1925 average 100000.
A study reveals the fact that the 1925
estimate Of $30,577, $40, which Is al
lowed by the budget bureau, is not suf-
flcient to provide for the training and
activities OF these 10000 men during
the fiscal year OF 1925 Although only
an Increase OF $763, 800 for all National
Guard activities allOwed.by the budget
bureau over the 1924 appropriations,
the strength Of the National Guard
win be increased over this period By

States Seek Data on
Amount of Game Killed

Minnesota and New York were pio-
neer states in inaugurating systems to
ascertain the amount of game killed
each year Today score or more OF
the state game departments are striv-
ing TO collect this important data. The
compilation Of spch data gives a very
good idea of game conditions in the
different states. BY reading the tabu-
lated results from the census OF game
killed you can also arrive at a pretty
accurate conclusion as to the efficiency
of the game departments Of these
states in years gone by.
From a Denver dispatch we learn
that It is estimated that 600 deer were
killed In Colorado last year. In the
same paper comes a report from New
Jersey that $50 Virginia deer were
killed in that state the past season.
When you compare the areas of Colo
RADIO and New Jersey. when you think
OF the difference In density Of popula-
ton and also consider the amount Of
territory in each suitable for deer, you
cannot help but realize that Colorado
has been negligent in the past in the
care Of her game

LlGHTNING'S POWER
WORTH ONLY $500

The lightning flash that rips across
the sky creates for the beholder a
vision of illimitable power, and upon
this illusion have been based many
computations of the value Of the cleo
trical energy released, and what 1t
could do If it were harnessed and to
work.
The splendid flash of lightning Is
actually worth about one dollar, in
terms OF modern central station SER
vice, according to recent series Of
scientific calculations based upon the
natural electrical display.
The prodigious power OF bolt Of
lightning is estimated at fifty million
volts, and there is assumed to be an
amperage of one thousand. These
give total of fifty million kilowatts.
But the lightning flash lasts for less
than one one-thousandth Of a second.
On this basis the total amount Of
electrical energy developed would be
about ten kilowatt hours, or approx
mately one dollars worth at an aver
age domestic rate of 10 cents.
