FAIRBANKS COLLEGE

In a recent statement, George Hutchinson, banker of Fairbanks, said:
 ''It must be remembered that the College as yet has no dormitories. Inquiries from the States and from the coast towns of Alaska show that this demand must be met. It can be met without any extravagant ex- penditure and when suitable ineX- pensive accommodations are provid- ed the attendance at the College will more than double. Interior AL aska is coming into her own in the mining and low grade placers. This last summer every one of the regu- lar mining students had steady work all through the vacation following practical work along the lire of his technical training. The wages are good, running from $6.OO to $500 per day.
 "A recent statement of the fi- nancial condition of the College dis closes a record that presents an ap- peal to every resident of the Ter ritory. The College has had from the Territory from the very begin ring total appropriations amounting to the sum of $197,OOOO0. It's present physical assets total over $2O0,OOO.OO. This has been possible because the Federal Endowment fund of $50,O0O.OO has not all been used for salaries of professors. A large part of this sum has been used for scientific equipment. The College now has $45,OOO.0O invested in the latest and best scientific equipment

 We are building a new H. F., H. D. engine to take the place of our old 12 H, P. They seem to be ra ther popular sized engines and we have already received five orders for these engines in the past two weeks. I want to announce this will be of particular interest to fishermen.

"A MESSAGE TO ALASKANS'

 that is now being offered to care fully selected papers in Alaska.
 We are informed that this lad" is only a beginning of a series and that the "canners" will fuse linn ited amount of space in Alaska's papers,"
 We quote the next paragraph in full, for it carries the bait that hides the hook. "In this series no effort will be made at Propaganda We will merely recite facts without at tempt to influence the readers judg- ment other than it may be influ enced by the consideration of the facts presented"
 The canners of Alaska are going to tell the truth CD as they see it.
 All of this is to be done because "there has been a feeling in the minds of Alaskans generally that the Packers operating in the Terri tory were depicting Alaska's fish cries without returning to the Terri tory anything adequate to offset the natural wealth taken out"
 These canners, who now wish to secure the goodwill of Alaskans say that "this feeling has been fostered and famed into antaganism by poli- ticians masquerading but really seeking gain at the expense of the public Numerous scurrilous attacks have little or no foundation in fact"
 These advertisements are signed, "The Canning Industry of Alaska"
 Who are you?
 Are you the Alaska Packers As sociation who fenced creeks, who blocked creeks with huge traps, who today fight every progressive move made here?
 Are you the Alaska Consolidated Gamers, the respectable mask which the Bank of California has put over the face of the bankrupts Charlie and Fred Burckhardts, men who have been wilfully guilty of violating all our fishery laws every year, and one of whom was accused by his own wife of burning his cannery for the insurance money?
 Are you the Booth Fisheries who built a fish trap in 1923 at an un- lawful distance from the salmon stream, took out S36,O0O worth of fish and paid fine of $4OO.OO af- ter pleading "Guilty ?"
 Are you the Petersburg Packing Company whose President testified last summer that it was not pos sible to construct a lawful fish trap?
