All-Alaska Chamber Disapproved Effort to
 Halt Paper Mill.
6Cordova Tmes.)


 Through an error in reading the minutes of the Territorial Chamber of Commerce for its meeting of December twenty ninth the Times inadvertently placed the Chamber in false light in that it stated that it had endorsed the request of the American Pulp and Paper Association calling for cancellation of pulpwood leases in Southeast Alaska
 Then followed an editorial crticizng the Cham Der for it's supposed stand.
 In justice to the Chamber and those who are guiding it's destnies with such thorough and pain stalking care the Times is glad to offer the fol- lowing correction as will be shown from the official minutes in hand.
 Secretary read a letter from the Juneau Chamber of Commerce enclosing resolution passed by that Chamber wherein they pro- tested sthe action of the American Pulp and Paper Association in requesting the President of the United States and the Department of Agriculture to refuse to enter into any
 contracts for the sale of pulp wood and
 timber from the National Forests of Alaska,
 and to halt pending negotiations for the sale
 of pulp wood timber, advancing as reason
 therefor that there is already
 production of paper in the United States,
 Canada and Newfoundland The Juneau
 Chamber further requested the Territorial
 Chamber to adopt similar resolutions. After
 full discussion by the Board motion duly made seconded and carried that "the Board of Managers consider the request of the Juneau Chamber to be of general interest to the whole of Alaska and hereby orders
 that said request be sent to the member organizations as referendum for their con-
 sideration and action.' AS will be by the above the Territorial Chamber done an injustice, which we hasten to correct.

 BACK TO KETCHIKAN

Bound on a return flight to Kstchikan, the seaplane Northbird, of the Ketchikan Airways, left Ju- neau at 1915 o'clock this morning for her base in the Southeast AL aska city. Her owner, J. V. Hickey, was a passenger, and M. w. Sas- seen was the pilot.
 The Northbird.i with MT. Hickey and Pilot Sasseen came here yes- terday from Ketchikan to file with the Territorial A udi tor an an- nouncement of Richard Hardcastle of Ketchikan that he would be a candidate in the Democratic pri- mary for the position of Demo- cratic National Committee.

will be marketed in Ketchikan this year than
 in previous seasons.
 Surely there is nothing discouraging in
 that outlook We don't mean, of course, to
 cry optimism as such. We merely seek to
 emphasize the belief already held by many:
 that things aren't half as bad as they ap-
 pear to those who do the most talking.
 There is. perhaps, a readjustment to face.
 It is true without doubt that conditions
 are not at the peak that they were in
 various other years. But even in the best of times we have our calamity howlers, and
 are not stampeded by them Why should
 we be now, any than we should be
 driven to unnecessary optimism by the reck-
 less?
 Naturally Alaska is bound to feel to some extent the effect of the nationwide industrial let down entering the second quarter of lt third year Ketchikan, with it's large fishing inter ests naturally feels it acutely than Juneal does Here, fishing is secondary to mining Int latter industry has been more active as result of national conditions than in the boom years. l is employing more men in producing properties and many more are engaged in diligent searcf for prospects that will lead to other producers.
 Juneau today has more people engaged in gainfu employment than before at this season of th year Payrolls are larger, and employment con sstently steady. It is true have more than thu usual number of unemployed, but this is due to th fact that many have come here in search of worl from less fortunately situated communities.
 There is no room for Gloomy Gusses in Ret chikan and certainly no reason for them in Juneau

NO GLOOM CALLED FOR.

There is no reason why Ketchikan should be gloomy, the Chronicle informed its readers recently, and proceeded to recount for them of the reasons why pessimism regarding their community and it's future is not justified by immediate facts. The admonition timely. Neither Kstchikan nor any other Alaskan community has any to be discouraged. And being discouraged is the worst mental state with which to approach problems that confront many of the towns The most serious i'll, all well-informed authorities agree, that has come from the current depression to the nation is the doubt of the future the lack of confidence in our we find ourselves stuck.
 Commenting current conditions in the First City, the Chronicle said:
 A cursory, unofficial survey revealed |. -.
 that there many improvements and
 maintenance projects under way, in addition
 to continuance of all the steady payrols to
 which Ketchkan is accustomed during the
 winter months. Besides the program of
 street improvement being conducted by the
 city the Sawyer Reynolds Company is press
 ing to completion it's S50000 project at
 Herring Bay, which almost be claSsed
 as a Ketchikan project. Although further
 road improvements this year depend largely
 upon the attitude of official Washington, it
 is virtually certain that work will be
 undertaken. The Federal Building project
 is in sight, with start of construction likely
 some time next year if not, indeed in 1892

 While The Times is not aware that the decision not to buy a steamer this year for operation on the lower Yukon, had anything to do with the plans of the Alaska Railroad erection of coal bunkers at Seward the choice, if such it was, will impress Aaskans as a logical one The equipment which is at present being used by the railroad to meet requirements of river service between Nenana and the lower Yukon can continue to be used for some time to come, especially in view of the fact that business along the river is not increasing; while the erection of bunkers undoubtedly will result in material expansion of the export market for coal produced within the rail belt providing steady en- ployment for additional number of miners and increasing the volume of tonnage handled by the railroad

MEN 0F TROY WIN GREAT FOOTBALL CAME
 FROM NQTRE DAME

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 12, The Men Of Troy defeated the Irish U. of s. C., vs. Notre Dame, Satur- day by the score of 13 to o, thereby emerging 1882 champions of the United States.
 The Trojans made two quick suc- cesSful thrustS for their scores. Notre Dame threatened twice but lost the ball each time inside the U. s. c. 12-yard line. U. s. C.'s first touchdown came on a beautiful 31- yard pass from Homer Griffith, quarterback, to Bob McNeish. sub stltute halfback. McNeish made flngertip catch across the goal line. Ernie Smith, giant U. s. c. tackle and the greatest player on the field, converted. The second touchodwn climaxed a 26-yard drive with Griffith's going over rom the 1-yard line for the score.
 Ernie Smith, of the Trojans, was the outstanding player of the game. The crowd felt that Notre Dame was responsible for much of the rough play. Two fights occurred in the last quarter when two players were ejected-smiling-from the grounds; also two slightly inebriat- ed sailors in the stands; but they passed out of the picture battling.
 About 100000 spectators witness ed the game.
