in August 1925, places the number
of seals of all ages at 723.050, an
increase of 25.S92 over 1924. 1t is
of interest to compare this with the
census of 1914 when it was esti-
mated that here were 294,6S7 seals
on the islands. This shows that the
herd has multiplied 21a times in
10 years, excluding the seals that
have been killed for their hides,
and is conclusive evidence that the
policy adopted by the Bureau of
Fisheries is justified and the seal
herd will be a source OF large reve-
nue. in the future. The gross value
of the skins sold during the fiscal
year was S7S7,3S450 This is a
su bstantial gain over 1924. Alaska
should have at least so per cent of
the net revenue from the sale of
seal and fox skins taken from the
Pribilof Islands for the support of
common schools.
Mineral Production
The value OF the minerals pro-
duced in Alaska in 1925 is esti-
mated to be $1S,22O.692, exceed
ing that of the previous year by a
little more than three quarters of a
million dollars, and bringing the
total production of the Territory
since 1880 up to 3,3O4,96S. The
value of the copper produced in
1925 was considerably greater than
in 1924. There was a moderate
increase in the value of gold, silver
tin and lead and a decrease in coal
and platinum from placers.
Cold Water Thawing
In the vicinity of Nome expert
ments in the use of cold water for
thawing frozen gravels were sue
cessful and as result large areas
,of low grade gravels may be
dredged. Extensive mining opera
tions in the Fairbanks district have
stimulated PROSPECTING for both lode
and placer deposits. Development
work has been undertaken on a
number of small quartz mines ad-
| jacent to Fairbanks and plans are
under way for the installation OF
several new dredges in the Tanana
Valley region. This development
| in the interior of Alaska is the re-
suit of the completion of the AL
aska Railroad because without ade-
quate transportation at reasonable

lodes in Alaska is produced in the
Southeastern part of the Territory
The Juneau district leads. followed
by Chichagof Island and Hyder.
The total tonnage of coal mined
was considerably less than in 1924
and correspondingly the tonnage Of
imported coal increased. The AL
aska coal mines are capable OF pro
ducing sufficient coal for domestic
demands but the operators have moi
solved the transportation problem
and are not able to compete with
imported coal outside of the railroad
zone.
Petroleum Production
Petroleum production was cOnfin
ed to the Katalla field as in former
years. The exploration in the Cole
Bay district were abandoned ant
the tools and machinery were re
moved. In the Yakataga field drill
ing began early in June but thu
work has not proceeded far enough
to enable the operators to determin,
whether or not the field contain
oil in commercial quantities.

State Federation of Labor
Endorses Frank L. Smith
For United States Senator

To The Officers And Members OF
Organized labor In The State OF
Illinois.
Greetings:-
Tuesday the 18th day Of April, 1926,
is the day set apart for the nomina-
ton of candidates for the United
States Senate, in the State Of Illinois.
Illinois is predominately Republican.
At any rate there does not seem to be
any particular contest in the Demo-
cratic party. Il Is important there
fore, that good selection be made in
the Republican primaries.
Illinois is one of the largest states
in the Union, industrially, and agrieul-
turally. Necessarily its representa-
tives in the United States Senate
carry great weight and influence in
the deliberations of that body.
The after the war conditions" have
not been adjusted in this country as
yet. Promises We're made TO labor.
They were to have a real right to
organize, to act collectively, TO speak
through chosen representatives. The
voice of labor was to be heard at the
industrial conference tables in a
greater and fairer volume than here
tofore. There was 10 be democracy
in the industriarl field as well az in
the political field. Recognition of the
rights of the laboring men and women
Of this country are secured primarily
by the organization Of the workers.
Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1926-04-02

This right can be hampered or adj
yanced by the political agents Of the
people of this country in the Congress
and in the various legislature.
In Illinois We are about 10 name
United States Senator The man
elected may be extremely helpful or
extremely hurtful. Right now there
is no more important contest up than
the selection of the Republican nom
inee for Senator in the state Of Hi
nois. There are two candidates, Col
onel Frank l.. Smith, Of Dwight, VINO,
while in the House of Representatives
for one term cast every vote favor
able to labor. He l. chairman OF the
Republican State Central Committee,
and when the great issue Of the pas
sage of the Injunction Limitation bill,
labor's greatest single legislative item
was up in the Illinois Legislature,
Frank l.. Smith gave the power Of his
position and the weight Of his won
derful personality to the passage OF
that bill. In his work upon the Hi
nois Commerce Commission, of which
he is chairman, lbs activities have
been friendly to labor. He saved
householders, millions in car fares and
gas and electric rates. In fact, in all
his activities labor has been the gamer
and never the loser. We can only
judge as to what men will do In the
future by their past conduct. II that
yard stick be applied to Frank l..
Smith, we will have a friend in the
United States Senate.
His opponent is the sitting member,
William b. Mckinley of Champaign.
If in all his political AMI private life
he has ever displayed friendliness to
the workers of America it has been

THE RACE PRAYER

The president of The National
Equal Rights League sends greetings
to the Colored People of America,
and requests them, in their devotions
Thanksgiving Day, or other days OF
prayer and religious devotions, to pc
tition our Heavenly Father with the
invocation following, or with prayers
to like effect:
o Almighty God, who art a most
strong tower to all those who put
their trust in Thee, whose Holy Spirit
directs and defends the souls of
faithful men, do Thou protect the
weak throughout this broad land of
the United States of America, and
show to their oppressors the light of
Thy truth, to the intent they may
see the error of their ways, and turn
to the melting out of justice to all
mankind, in Thy faith and fear, that
Thy Name may be glorified where
ever it is known; through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.
Holy Lord, we humbly pray that
Thy mercy and grace may rest upon
this land wherein we dwell; and that
through a knowledge of the truth
and a quickened sense Of justice, all
villainy, fraud, injustice and oppres-
sion may be driven from the borders
hereof; and the hearts of the dis
obedient may be turned to the wis
dom of the just, to the honor of Thy
Holy Name. Amen.
o Thou Ever-Loving and Merciful
God, who hast made of one blood all
nations of men that dwell on the face
of the earth, show to the doors of in
justice the viciousness of their way;
make them to know that wickedness,
murder and rapine cannot eternally
thrive, and that those who practice
such atrocities toward their fellow
men must finally be brought to DESC
lation through the certain vengeance
of the God of justice and right who
will cast down the mighty from their
seats, and evermore establish truth
and righteousness in the land. Amen.
