DEVELOPMENT OF ALASKA

"* AS business improves so will population and with these increases not only post office, but transportation, will pay their own way. The point is to at tract business and population.
 Having paid $7,20O,OO0 for the Territory of Alaska and having received in.return something like 90 times that amount in Alaskan mining; having last year receiv- ed from Alaska ten times the purchase price in Alaskan pro- ducts, of which the mines are only a small part, relatively; having sold to Alaska last year more than four times it's cost to the nation, it would be insensate to abandon the progressive poli- cy and allow the territory to lapse into it's original wilder ness. Worse could not chanced the country had 1t been sold to the aboriginal Indian inhabit- ants.
 The point at issue is not aban- donment, but further develop ment. Feeders must be con- structed, business must be en- couraged, the country opened by more liberal policy. There is no real reason why Alaska's population should be decreasing, instead of increasing, which seems to be the case. The cause lies in defective operation-not of the railroad.-Railway and Marine (Seattle) News.

watched three kids, they Were under tWenty-one years of age, over on the flats near Peters burg Creek, with shotguns shoot ing ducks and seaguls out of season. However, that's anoth- CT story. But shooting and wOunding gulls and other birds and leaving them f1uttering about on the flats with broken wings, with no intent to com plete their murder is a habit with some of the younger gen. eration hereabouts that will leave them devoid of any spirit of fair play as they grow older.
 I have seen birds tied togeth- CT and tangled amongst the pill ing under the docks of Peters burg. I have seen boys batting fish hooks and catching gulls off the floats. And now lately their gentle pastime is leaving birds wounded on the flats to slowly die of infection and starv- atiOn. I am sure that We shall never see boys shoot at any thing that can fight back. At least, not until they are taught something about the principles of sportsmanship and fair play.
 Very truly yours,

THREE YOUNG MEN By E. s. HungerfOrd.

One from Kentucky, one from Arkansas and one from Utah, clean young men, raised in re- LreSentative American homes are here pictured in an Alaskan adventure.
 Hard working, honest and steady; looking for a chance to cettle and build themselves homes as their parents had done before them, they joined forces in Los Angeles and drove their ancient Ford to the Alberta wheat fields where they worked through the harvest season. At it's close, they came to Prince Rupert and on in to Southeast ern Alaska where they received their first Alaska impressions.
 They rented a cabin and win tered in the town of Petersburg. This was no hardship. They took to the country like ducks to wa ter.
 They had arrived at last in the country they wanted to call their own. They liked the coun- try; they liked the people. They decided that they were born and bred to the land, and to the land they looked for a chance to settle and become home builders and owners.
 Alaska's millions of acres va cant, looked like their chance. They could not help but see the vast possibilities of the land and timber of Southeast Alaska.
 But alas, alack! They had only read the pretty propaganda for the Conservation of Ma tional resources and had never been in personal contact with the actual working of the. scheme.
 They wanted and would have taken up land and settled here ;n Southeastern Alaska. They knew the possibilities of tim- Der land and the help and bene- fit they would derive from the ownership of timber land. But That of course, under the present policy, was impossible.
 This you might say cut the ground from under their plans for the future. They were not loafers, however, and went to work as soon as the season open cd, at the first job offered. Mean while, they were men of average intelligence and they made it a point to find out all about the conditions here and the work

WHAT CAN THE DEAD MAN

 By James R. Little

ings of the so-called Conserva- tion Act.
 , When they learned that the land was being denied to the in dividual, and the reason thereof, they wanted to know how the 1 country was ever going to be set- tied.
 l But when they learned that the same land being denied them as bona f1de settlers who wanted to live in the country under somewhat the same con- dition as. the rest of the United States enjoys, was being offered to the exploitation of pulp com panies in immense tracts on long term leases under terms far more favorable than actual ownership, then, Oh, Boy! That was where they blew up.
 The Arkansan asked, Then where does the Conservation come in? It looks to me as if the supply and demand will deter mine the time of cutting Alaska timber"
 The Kentuckian said, Seems to me that if I had a piece of timber land here that I would put in some of my spare time, if had any, praying that a good husky pulp mill would settle in our midst"
 The one from Utah was just plain disgusted. He left for AL berta where he says that the Canadian government at least Fnows the value of having peo- pie live on the land and develop the country.
 So, like three geese in Mother Goose, One flew east, One flew west and One flew over the Cuckoo nest.
 They took their summers wages with them so that the Alaska merchant has to get along without that. Alaska lost three good Ameri- can citizens, at least two of whom would have stuck. The United States Govern ment completely lost the allegi- ance of one citizen and the faith of two others.
 All in order that an impractic- al, un-American, idealists dream, if not crooked piece of polite al chicanery, is being carried out at the expense of Alaska s welfare.
 Is the candle worth the price.

"TROLLER" CONDEMNS THE
 DISCRIMINATION
Petersburg, Alaska,
 March T, 1880,

Dear Sir:
 Among the latest regulations put out by the Bureau of Fisher ies is one prohibiting the trollers from killing king salmon weigh Ing less than six pounds. For once the Bureau is at least part ly right. I have been following the trolling game in Alaska fif- teen years and I do not hesitate to say that no king salmon of that size should EVER be taken. In fact, no trolfer would want to take 6-pound fish. In the first place, there is no profit in such fishing. However, there is one phase of the matter which it seems has not not been cOnSid- cred and that is this: If it is il- legal for one fisherman to kill young king salmon with his par ticular kind of gear, then it seems to me it should also be il- legal for any other fisherman to kill the same kind of salmon with some other kind of gear Surely, if the fisheries regula- tions are to be respected, they should apply to every one with out favoritism. But that is not the case in Southeastern Alaska under the present rulings. Thou sands of under size king salmon run into some of the traps along with the echoes and sockeyes. These fish are not canned but they are killed in the brailing process.
 Is not that a discriminatory ruling which condones the kill ing of under-sized kings by one fisherman but prohibits another fisherman from doing the same thing?
 Now, this is no idle question: Thirty years ago on the Colum- bia River, at Bakers Bay and Desdemona Sands, the fish wheels were taking blue-back and Chinook salmon. At that time, thousands of young stur- geon crowded into the traps. saw men stand all day chop ping the heads off small stur- geon because they were consid- cred a nuisance in the traps. Now there are precious few stur- geon left. Hundreds of tons of them were destroyed in the ahove described way.
 I ask in all seriousness: "Is it not time to prohibit the fishtrap in Alaska? Why should one class of fishermen be given pre- ference over another? and privi- leges that are denied to others whose livlihood depends on the perpetuation of the salmon species?
 "TrOlIer."
 Editors note:-Class, special privileges. The system devised to circumvent law and order, and to hold labor in peonage and industrial slavery Those who could benefit by a change of the system acquiesce and give tacit consent to perpetuation of the system. Some class without sufficient brains to appreciate the dangers of class favoritism. Only the bangs of an empty belly or the sight of an empty till gives their brains any degree of understanding.
 A few, like "Troller" do their own tninking-a few.

SOUCEK DISCUSSES
ALTITUDE FLIGHTS
Declares AirpIanes of Future
Never Will Operate at Heights
Already Reached.

Military or commercial airplanes of
the future never will operate at alti-
tudes which already have been reached
by aircraft, In the opinion of Lieut..
Apollo Soucek. u. S. NJ, holder of the
two premier world altitude records for
all types of aircraft and for seaplanes.
he declared in a radio talk last night
over the National Broadcasting System,
including Station WRC.
1t does not seem likely, Lieut.. Soucek
said, that air battles will be fought at
above 10000 feet, and commercial avia
ton will be restricted, for all practical
purposes, to attitudes of two miles or
less, he said.
Lieut.. Soucek expects foreign assaults
soon on the new record of 43,166 feet
which he established here last week
It cannot be assumed he said. that he
has reached an altitude which will
stand for any length of time.
He predicted that another assault
would be made on the record this Sum-
mer. He expressed the belief, however
that if the record Is taken from the
United States, the American aircraft
industry will take steps to see that it
is brought back to this country.
The worst obstacles to altitude flying,
Lieut. Soucek said. are extreme cold
and low pressures. The cold. which
degrees below the freezing point, on
his last flight, cannot be endured with
out proper dress, he said. Frozen
breathing tubes and frosted goggles must
be guarded against. So intense Is the
cold that grease used to lubricate con-
troll wires and hinges freezes and great
difficulty is experienced in handling the
plane.
Soucek was introduced by David S.
ingalls,, Assistant Secretary OF the Navy
for Aeronautics, who declared that the
new world record of last week stands
as one of the major contributions to
aviation during the past year, in that
it adds to one of the three decisive fac
tors in airplane Recommendations
ty, speed and altitude.
He paid tribute to Lieut.. Soucek, say
ing he had performed his duties in con-
nection with altitude flying lin the
same quiet, efficient and courageous way
he has performed his duties ever since
he entered the Navy"

No campaign address by any man,

on prohibition. Overnight he became
perhaps the foremost champion of
those who are opposed to the present
situation with regard to liquor. Over
night he became the chief target of
attack by the drys, not alone in Jersey,
but throughout the country. For that
reason the primary here next Tuesday
has focused the attention of the coun-
try As no other primary in recent years

primaries in Illinois, where Mrs. Ruth

Mr. Morrow never before has run for

present campaign may be termed the

seems to have taken to politics with
the same success that attended his

partner in J. P. Morgan & Co, and
that attended him on his diplomatic
