Prosperity in Alaska.
Olympia Olympian.)

When the United States Government acquired
Alaska from Russia in 1867 Secretary of State
Seward, who engineered the deal, was the sub
ject of much criticism in the press. The Amer-
can people could hardly the use of the new
purchase; Alaska was dubbed Stewards ice box"
by the scoffers
But in 1898, when gold discovered, the
tune changed. Alaska became immensely vau-
able, and the wisdom of Stewards act was made
evident.
The gold rush didn't last, however. In the
course of time the readily available ore was
exhausted. Fairbanks, which town of
10000 people during the height of the rush,
declined to a village of 1000. Alaska, once
more looked upon unproductive, al
most useless, waste.
Now it appears that Fairbanks is going to
regain something of its former eminenee. Hyd-
raulie mining is to be undertaken on a big scale
Gold deposits that could not be worked in the
old style will yield rich return if attacked
by modern machinery; and more than s10,-
O0O,O 900 has been spent in preparation for large
scale activities
As result, Fairbanks population has doubled,
and is still growing. The Alaska Railroad,
which connects Fairbanks with the seaports of
Anchorage and Seward, has been reaping the
benefit of the new activity. For the first time in
its history it is showing a profit.
Nor is this all. The Department of the
Interior under whose wing Alaska nestles, est-
mates that the new mining operations will last
for at least 25 years. BY attracting men and
money to Fairbanks and vicinity. they will stimu-
late other forms of production. Agricultural
lands are rising in value; Alaska's soil is fer
tile, and the Department believes that the i'm
petus which the mining ventures will give
to farming will have lasting effect.
Alaska is, potentially, rich country, even
II ii had not grain of gold dust 1t has good
land, forests, many kinds of ore-bearing rocks,
fine fisheries abundant water power sites. Some
day it will be populous and prosperous land
1t may well be that the present development
at Fairbanks will be the beginning of the rise
of Alaska to place in the community of States

THE CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

The New York World regards it significant
that the self-made fort -mion-dollar contractor
that has put up most of the money for Gov.
Smiths pre-convention campaign has not had a
State contract since Gov, Smith has been Chief
Executive of the State and that his City con-
tracts since 1917 have aggregated only $243,-
4o7 They were with the City Fire Department,
and it cannot be said that he made his forty
millions cut of them The reason he gave for
donating money for the Smith campaign is that
.Al and l played together in dads fire house
when we were Eas-side boys and they'd been
pals since.
w F. Kenny, that's his name. said that his
only use for money is to take care of his fam
lily, and to help and entertain his friends The
circumstance that he has $40000,000 or so on
ice as we'll as an effective money making plant
would indicate that he has provided for his
family. The $4o,oOO,Oo and the fact of beau
tiful home private railway coach for 1.-The wife
to use in case I'm out somewhere" and a fleet
of automobiles would indicate that the family
is pretty well cared for.
AL Smith and Willie Kenny played together
as boys, became Tammany workers together and
have never missed chance to be together since,
and Mr.. Kenny said he stands ready to con-
tribute up to his ability to help make Gov. Smith
President Several other witnesses, including
William H. Todd, the ship builder and con-
trbutor to the Smith fund declared that he ex-
pected to give lot if it is needed during
the campaign if Gov. Smith is nominated He
said he knew but little about politics but had
always been a Republican except when Gov.
Smith was running. Ire, like Mr. Kenny and
others, supported Gov. Smith because they knew
him to be great and square man and because
they liked him.
The fact is that the Senate Presidential cam
paign expenditures investigation has disclosed
hot tha of pf
the candidates any alarm The campaign funds
of all the candidates, including those of Mr..
Hoover which was the largest, modest and
not more than necessary for legitimate costs.

A Wonderful, Timely Suggestion.
(Seward Gateway

The suggestion of the Nome Kennel Club to
combine all the Interior kennel clubs in 1929
and stage the greatest dog derby race in the
history of the country, from Fairbanks to Nome
is one OF the finest suggestions ever put forward
Dog drivers from all over the United States and
canada Will undoubtedly take part in it, The
combined purse will make it worth while and
the publicity attached to such event would be
stupendous. In truth it would serve as a med
lum for tourists to visit the Territory in the
winter and entirely different Alaska from the
good old summer time
There should be no hesitantcy by kennel climbs
