basis Of its present opposition Is ex-
pressed in the clear-cut language
adopted at Atlantic City,
This amendment as now drawn IS
so unrestricted and sweeping that
its application could become -aPso-
lutely dangerous to the best inter
ests Of the communities Of the ma
tion and to the welfare of the chill
dren themselves; therefore, on ac-
count of its sweeping natur5, and its
tendency towards centralizedf costly,
control, we are opposed
to the ratification of the amendment
as now proposed"

The Wrangell sentinel., 1925-08-20

Alaska is the most promising as- set and best immediate business proposition of the far Northwest. It's development means more infi- nitely more, to the North Coast re- zion, the whole of it, than anything else, not excepting the growth of Oriental trade.
 Develop Alaska, people it, make its natural wealth available and ac- cessible, create trade and commerce that halts only for want of capital, and the foar states will increase as never before.
 Surely these men of vision, these captains of industry, who have set out to enlighten the monied East, must grasp this important fact and turn it to profitable en- during account. The Northwest can not properly, adequately, exploit it. self without exploiting Alaska, It is incumbent upon Seattle, gate way to Alaska, whose greater des- tiny is linked with the greatness of Alaska-urgently incumbent for materialistic, purely selfish, if not for the general welfare of the North Pacific empire-to take the initia- tive by getting behind Alaska and giving that vast domain, one fifth the dimensions of the Continental Union, conspicuous and rightful presentation in the forthcoming Ex- position.
 President Coolidge, commenting the united undertaking, has empha' sized the meaning to the nation oi introducing widely removed section: to one another. Alaska needs onl! to be known and understood tC come into its own. Already, under heavy handicap, it has produced wealth in excess of a billion dol lars. Center the attention of thu business world upon it, make thu truth known, and it will develop nightly and all this Coast countr. along with it"

Information Sought

Information is sought concerning the whereabouts of Wm. H. liar mon, by his sister, Mrs. Minnie liar mon Thayer. Mrs. Thayer states that he came to Alaska many years ago and was last heard from at Nome. He was tall, thick-set and dark and would now be sixty-six or sixty-seven years of age. Any in formation concerning him should be sent to the Governors office.

Scott C. Bone, late governor of Alaska, and now spending the sum- mer in Seattle, having read the foregoing article, wrote the Busi- ness Chronicle as follows
 "The proposition to hold a Pacif- ic Northwest Commercial and In- dustrial Exposition in New York in May, 1926, bespeaks enterprise and common sense and should, as you remark, have the enthusiastic sup port of every citizen Washington, Oregon Idaho and Montana display a practical, constructive spirit in thus organizing to bring their re- sources and opportunities to the at- tention of the East. The benefits to be derived from united effort are di- rectly in sight.
 But, looking to the future of this entire section, any project that fails to embrace Alaska is singularly short-sighted and incomplete. Log ically, obviously, primarily, Alaska should figure in every such equa- tion. Rich in natural resources, in- viting to capital, yet long over looked and relatively untouched,
The Wrangell sentinel., 1925-08-20

Governor Bone makes some tell ing points He is enthusiastic about Alaska, naturally, because he be- lieves in Alaska, knows it's potential riches, and it is one of his ambi- tions to see Alaska ''come into its own" More than any one man, he is esponsible-and he gets credit for it too-for giving the world a true picture of an industrial and agricultural Alaska.
