JUNEAU's BIG OPPORTUNITY.

The Capital-to-Capital Yacht Race proposed between Olympia and Juneau for next summer is a project which should have the unanimous support of every resident of this community.

Nowell to the Chamber of Commerce last week. evidence the fact that those sponsoring the are taking it seriously Further their efforts are meeting with response than ordinarily enthus- iastic ensuring a large list of entries.
 For years the Chamber of Commerce of this city has set the pace in advertising Southeastern Alaskan waters as ideal for summer cruises for yachts of all classes It has made some headway as is conclusiveiy proven by the ever increasing number of individual yacht owners who make the trip each year It is significant that none of those making the tour have had anything except praise for it, and many of them return from year to year for longer and more extensive trips Most yachtsmen men of means, the very class Alaska is desirous of attracting Alaska needs and waits the advent of men of capital who when attracted by opportunities for invest ment in new industries financially able to take advantage of them. The proposed race would bring just such type of men here. Thus there are many reasons why Juneau should support the Chamber of Commerce with great lberality in this particular undertaking.
 The cost to Juneau in carrying out it's share of the project is pitiablt small compared to the Benefits that will inevitably accrue The ques tion of raising few hundred dollars must not be allowed to stand in the way The town can, and undoubtedly will, supply all the funds neces sary.

Scientific ConcIusions?-Blah!

A scientist of distinction is alleged re gently to have declared that dmples are de feets" He asserts that they are caused by faulty construction weakness of the cheek muscles.
 We positively refuse to agree with the learned doctor In the first place. dimples appear in more places than the cheeks, If science has not informed this disciple of this fact then he must be either near-sighted or is not much in terested in feminine pulehritude in these days so obviously and collectively exposed street and elsewhere.
 Look at the average baby-what is it com posed of but dimples and appetite? And every normal mother is delighted when her baby has of these adorable blemishes than can be found on the plump corpus of her neighbor's heayen-sent child

stage of development there is no conflict between man and the fur-bearers The inroads made by
 intensive trapping can. to a certain degree, be made good by fur-farming But with timely and sane conservation measures there is no reason why Alaskan fur resources cannot be maintained to a high state almost in perpetuity. Prices are increasing steadily and. according to all indca- tions, will continue to do on most of the furs that can be had in this country Demand for them has steadily increased from urban communi- ties since 1915. Material advantages and other factors accruing from Americas prosperity have greatly expanded the fur market causing search for new sources and leading to an intensive ex- ploitation Of the old ones. Alaska reap big harvest from such conditions by maintaining it's resources in stable condition And that, of course is of the main ends for which the Game Commission was created.

Gold and Alaska.
(Hastings, Neb., Tribune.

CHastings, Neb, Tribune)
 Those who have not had the pleasure of vis- iting Alaska have pleasant surprise coming to them should they ever make that trip
 Of course, Alaska is not agricultural cOun- try, neither is it a cattle country, but it is a wonderful country for producing minerals, and it also gives the United States its greatest fish industry.
 In speaking about the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company the Daily Alaska Empire calls attention to the fact that the production figures of this company for 1927 in both mines and mills were not [onlyl entirely satisfactory but beyond expectations
 Furthermore, the Empire says that in the past history of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company it has been conducting its mining and milling on scale very properly termed gigantic.
 But the 1927 record stands for achievement. Working with daily average force identical in number with that employed in 1926, it has broken all records for gold recovered for ore mined, trammed and milled and it able at the same time to push it's development pro- gram more extensively than in any previous year"
 That certainly speaks we'll for the efficiency Of that mining company, and at the same time it gives forth to the world news that shows beyond any question of doubt that gold min ing i'll Alaska is still most profitable business.
