More People for Alaska.
Seattle Times.)


 With preparations in progress for the decennal census, the population of Alaska is estimated by it's officials at 55,000. Of these, 30000 are whites and the remainder Eskimos and Indians or natives as they prefer to be called. The number is small for a region one-thrd Gone-fifthl the size of the States and rich in manifold resources.
 Establishment of paper pulp mills in the heavily timbered parts of Southeastern Alaska is assured These enterprises will bring new inhabitants. The reindeer industry will be furnished adequate transportation facilities, and promises to attain the importance of the range cattle business of the West of few years ago. Farming opportunities are ex- plotted by the Government railroad to attract set tiers to it's zone of operation.
 Extension of agriculture will result in the pro- duction not only of enough cereals and vegetables for domestic consumption, but also of a surplus for export. Over of at least 100000 square miles in Alaska conditions are naturally better for agriculture than in Finland which lies in higher latitude than Nome, supports population of 3,0O0,- 900 from 10000 square miles of tiable and grazing so and ships grain and meat to other parts of the world
 AlaskaS coal deposits, worked only a limited scale because of the small home market can be expanded to meet any requirements Fish, furs, and precious metals, the principal yields of the North, have not caused any increase in popula- tion in the last few decades Resources coming into development call for more inhabitants and will ne- cessitate their permanent residence Census figures ten years hence will show large gains.

THE CAPITOL CONTRACT IS LET.

This has been a year of good news for Juneau, but nothing has occurred that will hearten the neople more than those Washington dispatches which tell them that the contract for the construction of the Territorial and Federal Building has actually been let and that work it will begin within thirty days The contract gives the builders two years in which to complete the structure.
 Thus ends with victory campaign that has been under way for many years and the victory is accentuated by the circumstance that we shall have much better building than the people here had dared to hope for during many of the long years of waiting The building will be commodious and i'm posing It will afford amply room for the public offices and it will be architectural monument that will add to the beauty of the City and It's appearance of stability
 The erection of this building will help lot in the forward march of this community that is now catching it's step for the greatest advance in its history It will not only mean the expenditure of three quarters of million dollars here but it will give us the assurance that the capital is anchored in Juneau to remain It will make valuable adver- Using for this place.
 Too much credit cannot be given to Gov. Parks, Alaska commercial organizations and all those throughout the Territory and elsewhere that have worked so heartily with the people of this City to bring about the finale that when Secretary Mellon wrote his name the dotted line of the contract yesterday.

LA GUARDIA TO CONDUCT HIS OWN
 CAMPAIGN.

New York newspapers say the Republican leaders and organization have notified Major La Guarda, who is the Republican candidate for Mayor, that
 he must finance his own campaign and form his organization They do not regard the candi-
 date as a Republican and resent his absolute re- fusal to cooperate in way with the organization on any basis except his own nomination. This was coupled with threat to make fight on the floor of the convention for the nomination. It is con- ceded, however that the leaders controlled the convention Their failure to head off La Guarda due to their inability to get satisfactory candidate to accept it. When, failing to get a can- didate, they consented to the nomination of La Guardia, they refused to nominate candidates for Comptroller and President of the Board of Alder men, leaving both places on the ticket to be filled by personal selection by La Guarda himself. Il will be La Guardia campaign and not a Re

Culinary Centers.
(Trenton Times.)

Henry Ford believes that the home of the future will have no cooking done inside, but that com munity culinary centers will be established in which all varieties of food will be cooked and delivered to the homes at much lower cost than the house. keeper can do the work. That is not by any means new suggestion excepting, possibly the thought that it can be done more economically.
 The wonder is that the experiment has not long ago been given a trial Why, for instance, should the 25000 or 30000 families in Trenton do their marketing and cooking when it is possibleor should be-for service companies to do the work better and at least partially solve the problem of getting and keeping satisfactory kitchen help?

More or Less True


 A woman'S answer to the mans question, why do you have to cry at a movie to enjoy it?" is Why do you think you have to get up in the lucky seventh to stretch to win the gamer"
 The only thing as unusual these days as a daughter who helps mother with the dishes is a father who is out of debt. If there is a birthday due and you see friend wife shopping in the five-and-ten you know without be- ing told it is her husbands, not hers.
 Any time man wants to spend a miserable evening all he needs to do is to make remark at the supper table about how slick some dame of their acquaintance looked in her new outfit, and he'll start right in getting an earful how good SOME husbands are to their wives.
 Some women wouldn't enjoy a meeting of their club if they weren't sure some other member had been hurt by the catty. sar- castle remarks they had dropped It is getting so that being treat ed like a servant is considered about as grand as we once thought being treated like a prince was.
