 Sees Prosperity
 T believe Alaska is enterin upon a period of unprecedented prosperity and growth. We have every assurance of the installa- tion of at least two paper mills in Southeastern Alaska, in the near future, which will undoubtedly be followed by others. both in the First and Third divisions. This will increase our population tre- The supply of timber suitable for the paper pulp indus try is unlimited.
 While at present the fisheries are the greatest source of terri torial revenue, probably mining has reached it's lowest ebb and it is impossible to put a limit on future possibilities. Of course the known rich placers have been worked out, but within the past few years millions of dollars of outside money have come into the Territory, to develop the ex- Lensiye low grade placers in the Nome and Fairbanks districts. There will be production on an enormous scale for many years -o come. In the meantime, im- , proved transportation facilities l will insure new discoveries anl | future production in regions hth- arto unexplored, and greatly stim- ulate quartz development, which | Is in it's infancy, held back by in accessibility.
 What I have said about future in Alaska, depends a whole lot on the attitude of the | government toward Alaska. We have ineXhaustible natural re- sources, yet our population for the | last twenty-five years has been | in fact sometimes dwindling. Why is this? The i answer is that while we have the : natural resources they have been l from us by mistaken gov ernmental policies, while on the other hand we have the greatest | natural obstacles that ever con the pioneers of any terri 1 tory. If there was ever a land l where the settler should be given l the benefit of every natural re- source and told to help himself, 1 1t is Alaska. But on the contra ry, there never was a Territory where he has been so hampered l by Federal restrictions, in the way of reservations, bureaucratic con- trol conservation fads and experi- | ments. The drift toward bureau cratic government in the past de- l cade has been denounced by lead ing men of both parties as a men, l ace, even in the states, as baneful l in it's effects, paralyzing to de- Yelopment and leading to favorit- 1 ism, graft and corruption. The most bureau-ridden, official in fested. red tape restricted spot in the United States is Alaska.
 About the time the cream of our gold placers were skinned, fever of conservation swept the | country. Pinchotism became ram pant and Alaska was the victim. i Our coal and oil lands were with l drawn from entry for a long period

CHRISTMAS TREES.

Nothing is sacred to the med Hing fraternity, who once more are agitating the peren-
 lial question as to whether it IS not shocking waste of our timber resources to cut down hundreds of thousands of bruce and other evergreens for Christmas trees. And once more the American Tree As ;ociation defends the use of young conifers for Yuletide ornamental purposes and ad- vises those who are protesting against the alleged waste to lirect their energy to educat-
 ng the jeople as to the proper use of forests.
 The American Tree Associat- .on's position on the matter is that taken by all the leading :onversationists, who hold that conservation does not mean here shall be curtailment of the legimate use of our re- sources but that wasteful ex- ploitation shall be stopped. Christmas trees are a legiti- mate use of our forest re- sources.
 Some of those who are ob- jecting to the cutting down of evergreens for this purpose are letting their emotions get the better of their common sense. Thus one person says

THE STOCK MARKET.

There is a saying in stock market circles to the effect that the public invariably goes in at the top--and gets stung. The men on the inside "bull' the market by buying in and then make killing" by sell ing to the lambs" just before the market tumbles. By buying the professional speculator boosts a stock and by selling he forces it down.
 The present boom on the stock market has reached the stage where the public" is getting in." The spectacular bull movement has aroused the Imagination of thousands who only occasionally or never play the market. Savings are being plunged on shares which have already reached sensationally high prices.
 Has the boom reached the apex which proceeds the de, cline? Can the mounting stocks ascend still farther? Obviously there are many who not only do not anticipate a reactionary crash but look forward to an even higher market than the present. For every buyer there must be seller and somebody always loses. Those who sell before the market hits the top lose and those who fail to sell before their stock falls below their purchase price lose. Milli- ons have been made on the present bull market, but just as many millions will be lost if a bear movement follows.

HUGE CHRISTMAS
 BUSINESS IN PROSPECT

The Christmas shopping seas- on, now in it's incipiency, finds the United States enjoying an unprecedented condition of prosperity. With the fabulous total of nearly fifty billion dol lars in the nations banks the Christmas business this year promises to be the most exten- sive in history.
 Both business and financial authorities support this view. The treasury department at Washington calls attention to the country's banking situat- ion to back up it's verdict that
Hyder weekly herald., 1928-12-01

"Why not teach the children that every Christmas tree nav mean that some poor little bird $ without a place to sleep?"
 It is assumed by those who are opposing Christmas trees that if they were not cut down all would grow into tall timber suitable for sawlogs. But the assumption is unwarranted. Both when planted by man and by Nature the conifers spring up in thick clusters, so close together that there is no room for all to reach maturity. Some must yield if others are to have enough space and light. Foresters accordingly deliberately thin out the stand by cutting some of the small trees to make room for those that are allowed to grow. Trees thus removed may be used for Christmas purposes. If they were not removed they would probably be killed in tho struggle for existence with their neighbcrs.
 But even if all the Christmas trees would grow up if left un disturbed, the cutting of them would still be justified because of the pleasure they give chil- dren. Making fuss over the destruction of Christmas trees is a case of saving at the spigot and wasting at the bung; fol the loss of our timber resources from this caues is infinitesimal as compared with the damage done to our forests by fire and insects.

conditions are sound. Deposits in the twenty-eight thousand banks in the United States are about $2,300,000,000 greater than a year ago, while banking resources approximate $64,- 0O0,000,000, an excess of two billion over those at the end of 1927.
 Early in December depositors n Christmas savings clubs will receive more than a billion dollars. Experience has shown that a large portion of this huge sum will finance Christ mas shopping expeditions.
