 PULP INDUSTRY

In an address before a Seattle audience recently, Senator Key Pitt man of Nevada, said:
 There is enough wood pulp in Alaska to furnish the newspapers of the country with all the news print for hundred years, but it requires an initial investment of $3,000,00O or $4,OOO,OOO to establish a paper mill in the Territory and investors will not go into the country under the present conditions.
 "Our national policies are form ulated by group of New England Republicans for the interest of New England manufacturers and the east is attempting to make a playground out of the West"
 He further stated that eastern statesmen were better acquainted with Bohemia than with Alaska and that the West was of no value and never will be.
 So long as we continue to have
 free" advertising of Alaska by California solons and condemnation of our railroad and other resources by men who know less about Alas ka than a rabbit knows about a flying machine we will have opposi- tion to the proper development of the Territory.

BUM JOKE

Upon his arrival in COrdova re- gently, Bishop Peter T. Rowe, the 'Mushing Parson" of Alaska, head of the Episcopal Church work in Alaska, declared that the Govern ment hospital ship on the Yukon river to be joke. ."The boat has heen given much publicity" he said, but is unsuitable for the pur- pose and there might just as we'll be no boat. Sick natives do not re- spond when the doctor goes ashore. 1t is five cent affair when it ought to be a $500. affair. He further declared that government dOcter stationed at Tanana is badly needed.
 We have had other poor jokes in the medical and educational system under the supervision of the Bureau of Education. That has been the reason for and demand for Equal Educational Opportunity so highly condemned by political junkers in the Territory. Perhaps if said
 junkers had to educate their child ren, under a system without stand ard carriculae of it's own and us- ing books as might be picked up at the average Bureau school more consideration would be given the cry for education that Is being made by potential citizens of the Terri tory. A poor medical service where needed, a poor educational system as that which the Natives attempt to secure their education only keeps out a better service. There is much weight to the side of the Alaskan Native that has never been broad casted by certain alleged Americans in this division.
