Investing in Alaska

One year when the writer was in the States, he visited in the home of a canneryman. He was told that the fine residence was put up at a cost of $40,000. The same cannery man did not have a home in Alaska that cost one- tenth that sum. Very. few ot those who benefit from the re- sources of the Territory reinvest any part of their earnings in the country. Their investments go to develop other business in the States.
 Did more of those men put their capital to work in the Ter ritory there would be more de- mand for labor; their would be more regular employment and 8 greater spending power from which every business would ben- eft. \.

Step Up, Boys

All the publicity given Cordials 6 Beverages by TIME was free advertising which seems to have increased the business without attendant Federal interference. It is hard, oftimes to believe that officials as we'll as others can so brazenly and openly scoff at the laws Of the land.

HIS CENSUS JOB PAID HIM NOTHING BUT HE WORKED

Down at Bedding, Calf, when Asa Mckenzie got the job of census enumerator for area of 294 square miles in northern Las sen County he began to figure right away on the profits at 4 cents for each person.
 Asa scanned each of 293 of those square miles without meet ing a single human being. Just as the situation was beginning to look hopeless he came upon a lonely man and hailed him with exceeding zest as he explained his mission.
 The lonely man eyed him coldly.

An Economic Problem
From The Verstovian

Delegate Dan A. < Sutherland delivered an important speech l in the House of Representatives on "Alaska's Declining Popula- tion." He indicated, two .inclus- i've causes of egress, bureaucracy and monopoly. As affecting the native people he places unjust discrimination in the present fishery laws as fundamental cause of poverty. He calls atten- tion to President Hoover's recent declaration that the Govern ment was allowing but 20 cents a day for the, food of its Indian children wards and urged that this allowance should be doubled in order to insure the mainten- ance of reasonable health. Of special interest is his statement that the earning of Indian fish, ermen in Southeastern Alaska for the past season averaged about $50 per man. This is sig nif1cant in view of the fact that fishing is practically the only industry open to natives. (Ed- itor's note: The white fisher men may we'll be included for the sum total of their earnings is in cluded in the averages. And the earnings on the average was not more than a few cents per, day thru the entire season.
 The present economic condi- tion of the native people of Alas ka arouses the sympathy of the. <! Verstovian. From personal ob- servation we believe that the av- craze income of the natives is in- adequate to provide for a reas- enable standard of living. There is no opportunity for bettering this condition because there Is no opportunity for earning a sufficient living.
 As we see it there are two rem
 edies. In the first place, inequal- ities in fishing regulations favor ling vested interests should be re- moved. If any preference is
 shown it ought to be in favor of
 the Indians rather than adverse
 to them inasmuch as they. are
 the original tenants in this land
 and have no place to go. The
 resources of the country should
 be made available for support
 And in the second place the gov-
 ernment should be active in en- fcouraging industrial opportun- lities for the native people.

 President Hoover was last week told about Cordials & Beverages, the green-&-orange liquor store at No. POI F. 44th St., Manhat- tan, which has been doing a thriving, open retail business in | lintoxicants for the past two months Crime, Feb. 10 ct seq.). One Eaton Lehcirt, undergradu- ate 'Prohibitionist," of Colum- bia University wrote him a rowdy, distraught letter in which he detailed a personal visit to Cordials & Beverages, and the purchase for $1.50 of a bottle of Spanish Port which T swear was as good as any I have bought in Spain" Threateningly, discour teously, Lehcirt asked President Hoover, in effect, what he pro- posed. to do about this open law violation.
 Meanwhile last week COrdials & Beverages continued in it's ac- customed, wideopen, prosperous way. The U s. District Attorneys | office said it had evidence of a purchase made there, said that ] the case would be tried "in regu- lar order" after an indictment had been obtained from a grand l jury.

YULETIDE TREES GL OW IN FRONT
 OF HOMES HERE
Lighted Evergreens Are More Numerous than
 Ever Before

If the north is the home of Santa Claus, as tradition affirms, then this part of the favored area must be his storeland for Christ mas trees. He must tarry here at this season every year in admira- tion of their beauty and profusion. At no previous time has he had such reason for qualification as now. Always the vast expanse and stately grandeur of timbered tracts have been the occasion of wonder, but this yuletide they have been utilized more than ever before to symbolize the Christmas festival
 Trees, illuminated by varied col cred lights and prettily decorated lend an atmosphere of cheer and merriment to shops, restaurants and business offices.
 The community tree, ablaze at night, imparts an aspect of joy ousness to the commercial district.
 On grounds of private homes fine specimens from nearby forests glow, just as soon as darkness falls. Among the places where there are

attractive Christmas trees that must make the heart of Santa Claus glad are at MT and Mrs. L. H. Metzgar's, Seventh and Gold Streets; MT. and Mrs. John Rust gard's, Seventh and Main; Dr. and Mrs. A. w. Stewards, Gold Belt Avenue; MT. and Mrs. c. H. Flory's, Sixth Street, where there are two one at each side of the front steps, and at the overnment school on Willoughby Avenue.
 Out on Glacier Highway are also Christmas trees, decorated.
 At Wagner's roadhouse on Sal mon Creek a tree was lighted sev- eral days ago. MT Wagner has cov- cred it with wiring and used vari- colored lights to produce a most beautiful effect. As motorists ap- proach the roadhouse from either direction, the lighted tree comes into view suddenly the effect of which is impressive.
 At the Alaska Dairy, a small tree has been erected in the sum- mer playhouse of the Render children.

MRS. SPICKETT
 CONFIRMED FOR
 SECOND TERI
Alameda s Mail Today Will Be Ready for Delivery
 in Morning

Nomination of Mrs. Josephine c. Spickett for postmaster at Juneau. made by President Hoover early this month, was confirmed Decem- Der 10 by the United States Sen- ate, according to communication received from the postoffice depart ment. Her appointment was for a second term of four years more.
 In a letter to Mrs. Spickett rela- tive to the confirmation, Walter F. Brown, postmaster general, compli- mented her on the efficient manner in which she had performed her duties in the past and expresses confidence that her service would continue to be of high order in the future.
 All Christmas mail at the Ju- neau office had been distributed yesterday and most of it had been delivered by this forenoon. To handle the heavy receipts of late last week and early this week, the office force worked nights until long after midnight. In keeping delivery windows open for two hours extra last evening the post master and clerks got rid of all but comparatively small part of the large amount that had heaped upon them.
 Heavy mail from Seattle and way ports arrived on the Alameda this afternoon but all of it will be ready for delivery tomorrow fore noon. Persons expecting mail are urged by the postmaster to call for it early tomorrow, so the Yuletide business of the office will be en- tirely cleaned up by Christmas Eve.
