FROZEN CONFIDENCE HURTS ALASKA

Frozen confidence rather than frozen assets
is the thing that is keeping Alaska from advance
ing in business way" Right at this time the
canning industry should have more faith in
Alaska and it's development than at any time
during the past forty years. There is more reason
to believe in it's future. Alaska is on the thresh-
hold of the greatest development in it's expert
ence The distressed of other states are looking
70 Alaska It should be ready to make the most
Of it's opportunity.
Many Alaskans complain about the times
but they have not experienced the distresses
through which the people of the states have gone
through. These Alaskans are ready to quit be-
cause of the neglect and determinations caused
by the fishery industry. The canning interests
themselves complain about the problems. It is
time that these same interests invest in Alaska
more of the interest that they derive from its
resources It is time that they planted in the
territory money than is tied up in ram
s'lackle buildings which fall down after being
vacated for couple of years. 1t is time that they
built up communities where they operate rather
than each fall leave few shacks poverty

develop it to its greatest advantage, that soon will
the Territory be country worthwhile to live in

WHERE is THAT SURPLUS

In the past several months it has been point
ed out in these columns that there is stringent
shortage of funds in the Territorial treasury
Auditor Cash Cole has been warning the Territory
that it could not continue expanding more money
than it's revenue and still permit balance in the
treasury. He has warned that the school funds
and pension funds for the pioneers are in danger
of becoming short that payments could not
be met.
It has been Just as vehemently denied that
there was shortage.
We quote the following from a westward
paper:
Cook Inlet Subsidy Withdrawn
Evidence of the baleful effect created through
the last Legislature surrendering to the Governor
of practically all the powers accorded under the
Organic Act, to light in the information
that the Governor has notified Captain Heine
Berger of the MS Discoverer, that the subsidy
voted by the Legislature will not be Forthcoming
this summer
The withholding of the subsidy is a serious
blow to approximately 500 people, residents of
Cook Inlet With the aid of the subsidy, it has
been possible to maintain regular service, keep
ing those settlements along the Inlet in constant
touch and communication with the Outside World
The condition is made possible through the
action of the Legislature in delegating to the
Governor approximately 80 per cent OF the control
of appropriations. And the Governor has not
been slow in exercising this authority.
Those familiar with conditions, see in the
action effort at discipline against any Alaskan
who incurs the dspleasure of Federal powers
Last summer Captain Berger and Capt. Axel Olsen
locked horns with The Alaska Railroad because
they accepted consignments of freight from
Seward to Anchorage. It rumored at the time
that they were flying in the face of providence"

Trail of Cynicism in
Poor Richards Counsel

Poor Richard" would find his
words, even in these talkative times,
in good standing for daily use and
counsel. He himself would have
honestly denied them to be pro-
found or eloquent. He never claimed
them to be original. OF his AL
manack, he said: "These proverbs,
which contained the wisdom of
many ages and nations, I assembled
and formed into a connected dis
course" He preferred those which
"inculcated industry and frugality
as the means of procuring wealth,
and thereby securing virtue, it be
ing more difficult for a man in want
to act always honestly"
This might he called cynical good
sense, and Franklin himself was
rarely required to live strictly by
Poor Richards doctrine. He was
sufficiently industrious. but not Of
fensively SO. His own wealth was
not won by thrift and he lived fru-
gally no longer than he could help
it. And the best friends of Frank
lin must explain away. as best they
can. the suggestion that virtue is
only a byproduct Of satisfactory
bank balance.-Philadelphia Ledger.

On Tristan da Cunha

The origin Of the population Of
Tristan da Cunha is mystery. The
first settlement was made in l79U
when Captain Patten and his crew
Of the American ship Industry
anchored there for a few months
while collecting sealskins. Three
Americans were reported living On
the island in 1911, and one of them,
Jonathan Lambert, declared on Feb.
ruary 4 of that year that he was
the proprietor of the islands. He
cleared the land and planted sugar
cane and coffee seeds supplied him
by the American minister at Rio De
Janeiro. This prospect failed. and
the British took possession in 1916,
setting up a military post to watch
Napoleon on st. Helena. But Brit
ain exercises no authority over the
inhabitants they are left under the
rule of their own customs.

Settings of pheasant eggs will

sion to boys and girls in the State
who are interested in raising these
birds for the State. The eggs are
furnished free, one setting of Is

eggs and the raising of the chicks.
All healthy birds from these set
tings will be purchased by this
Commission at 81 each when the
birds become ten weeks old. Ap-
plications for these eggs should be
sent to this Commission at Dover,
and all applications should be en-
dorsed by the County All Club
agent or the school teacher. The
application in addition to showing
the name of the parent or guardian
and their postofice address, should
also give the approximate location
of the farm. This Commission has
distributed throughout the State

necked pheasants. The season is
closed at all times on these birds,

Earliest Known Gardens

In so far as is known, Egypt pro
duces the first style in home gar
dening. The Babylonians were the
real inventors Of the park, but they
probably acquired their ideas of
home landscaping from the Egyp-
tians since there is some evidence
Of early trading between the two
countries.
The yards surrounding the houses
of ancient Egypt contained flower
beds, shady walks. covered arbors,
open grass areas, and ponds filled
with lotus plants and water lilies.
Potted plants were also in style.
AS the various countries rose to
power, invasions took place in other
lands. New ideas were obtained
and added to those of the invading
people. The styles in landscape de-
sign changed according to the types
of people and climate and the de-
velopment of other arts also had
their effect.
