POPULATION WILL OPEN UP
 ALASKA RESOURCES

Rex Beach, Alaska's Ambassa- dor without portfolio, may be a trifle optimistic in his belief that opening of Glacier Bay National Monument to prospecting and mining will start another gold rush within 30 days, but the ter ritory's best known booster is certainly on the right track and Alaskans can well be apprecia- tive of his efforts in behalf of promoting mineral development. The old time Alaskan knows that Alaska's initial progress came out of the ground and if the Terri tory is to accomplish anything in an industrial way it will have to open up the earth again and bring forth the yellow metal,
 It is a well known fact in Alas ka, even if it hasn't seeped thru yet to the members of Congress, that the Glacier Bay area holds valuable deposits of gold, silver: copper, and other minerals. BID. Stewart Territorial Commission CT of Mines, has ample evidence of positive proof that high grade pay dirt has actually been tapped in various parts of the area. As MT. Beach told the Senate Com mittee, it is almost possible to prospect with field glasses and throw your hat into the highly mineralized belts.
 But of course, back about ter years ago some one got the bright idea that nature was such 8 grand and glorious thing in Glac- fer Bay that is should be preServ- ed for posterity and got Presi- dent Coolidge to issue procla- mation keeping it inviolate from human hands, ad minimum, ster toward tying up every piece ot

public land In Alaska that sup ports as much as a tree. It's a nice idea, but how are the people in Alaska going to make living, and how are we to offer any in- ducement for others to come and build up our population unless we can develop our mineral re- sources
 Some will tell you that what we need in Alaska is capital. True. But what we need a great deal more is a half million or million people whose influence can be felt in the halls of Con- gress. If we actually want to de- velop Alaska instead of talking aDout II, we should encourage them to come north in hordes. The right sort will stick; the oth- CTS will go back. And the best answer to how they will make a living, is the simple fact that the record book fails to show yet where a, thousand, let alone a half million, people starved to death in land of plenty. They didn't starve on Plymouth Rock and they won't starve in Alaska, but they will make a country out of it.-Juneau Daily Empire.

records exist were the towers built
by the Libyans and Cuschites in
Lower Egypt, beacon fires being

Sigeum, now Cape Inchisari, in the

Lightness and Strength
Make Aluminium Popular

Aluminium Is used wherever a com.
binatlon OF llghtness and strength
is desired. The pure metal is high
ly reactive with various corrosive
substances, yet In actual practice
1t resists c%orrosion very much bet
ter than the theoretically more re-
slstant iron. The reason for this,
writes DR.. Thomas M. Beck in the
Chicago Tribune, is that aluminium
on exposure TO the atmosphere
forms a microscoplcally thin, tough,
alright coating of aluminium rust
which gives the underlying metal
perfect protection against corro-
sion. Iron, on the other hand, forms
a brittle, porous rust that flakes of
and exposes nor metal.
Along with the advantage of
hghtness aud rust resistance. pure
aluminium has the disadvantage of
being relatively soft. For a long
time this limited its use to the
manufacture of kitchen utensils.

In which 1t was not subjected to

have been developing some highly
