 Cordova Times)

While it is q splendid thing for Alaska to be able England and elsewhere for money foI the development northern mining propositions would be lot better for the country if some of the money laid away in bank accounts and in non producing hiding places in Alaska could be put to work developing the country. There are ample funds in Alaska to put almost any proposi- ton and that the money is not in cir culaton constitutes of the principal of Alaska's inability to progress more rapidly. Money earned in Alaska should be made to work for the development of Alaska. instead of being locked up n vaults or shipped of the country entirely in exchange for bonds and other securities which do not contribute in the least to Alaskas upbuilding. If outside capital can be made substantial dividends iu the development and operation of AL aska mining ground and other resources. how much better would it be Alaskans do the work themselves reaping the profits which lost to Alaska through outside capital? Idle dollars in a country like Alaska. any country for that mat d. promote prosperity, They do not ben eft those who them and they actually retard development through being withheld from useful service. Working dollars like working and are prosperity builders the idle clog the wheels of progress.

We quite agree with James W.

 Those who are engaged in fox farming should ao try to get out of the busaAss during this slump. Rather they should make of the opportunity. if possible to increase and improve their stock

HUGE BONFIRE TO BE LIGHTED
ON MOUNTAIN.

The Shenandoah National Park, in
the Blue Ridge, seven miles east of
Luray, on the night of May 81 win
be illuminated for hundreds of miles
in all directions by a huge bonfire on
top Of the Blue Ridge, only a short
distance from Skyland, the famous
summer resort. For weeks teams and
men have been working daily as
sembling an immense pile of wood
for the purpose. Hundreds of cords
Of wood have already been placed
there. The scheme is for the pur-
pose of adding fame to the already
celebrated park areas. Washington,
Roanoke and Richmond will have an
opportunity to see the fires refec-
ton in the sky.
It is expected that the blaze from
this bonfire will leap hundreds of
feet into the air, and they will very
probably be plainly discernible
throughout this section. Hundreds
of residents of the Shenandoah Val
ley will be on the lookout Wednes-
day evening, to see what will indeed
be an imposing spectacle.
