WELCOME LOS ANGELES

Juneau extends Alaska welcome today to the members of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. We in the north are glad to have you pay visit and trust that you will take home with you lasting picture of great Territory which is ripe for velopment that is slowly but surely coming
 You from California, who used to great things and long distances will be interested perhaps to know that Alaska has approximately 6o0OOO square miles with but 6oOOO inhabitants, about half of that population white. You can see that We have room to grow.
 You will see here the famous Alaska Juneau gold mine the largest low grade gold ore producing mine in the world. You will learn of the millions that is taken out of Alaska each in mineral wealth from the mining properties throughout the Territory You will see some of the famous Alaska salmon neries, where is packed the silver horde and which is Alaskas largest industry. You will learn about our fur game and sport fishing; the last great para disc on the North American continent for the big game hunter and fisherman
 You perhaps will think pretty well off and we But that you might great advance yet to be made in Alaska that she can take her place in the list of States, let give you just glimpse of just of the things the Territory lacks roads.
 Alaska has only GOA mile 21 feet of road per square mile. The Territory has less roads per square mile than any district in Africa, known the oark cpasinentSa TT %&9'TwfaTs
 Iceland has less roads per square mile than any country possession in Europe and yet has only 18O miles less roads than Alaska with l3 times as much road per square mile
 Sweden comparable with Alaska in climate has l25 times much road per square miles-Finland 75 times much
 Russia dncluding Asiatic RuSsa) has 50 times as much road per square mile Alaska
 Nevada the most sparsely populated state of the Union, has almost twice many miles of road as Alaska and over times as much road per square mile as Alaska. It has only 9 people to each mile of road, Alaska has 27
 The Federal Government on an average spends over three times much money annually in the state or Nevada for roadsa state whose area is less than one-fifth that of Alaska and whose population is about the same.
 The Federal Government has spent more money for roads in several states in one year than has been spent in Alaska altogether since it was purchased
 The total funds spent for roads in several of the states each year for many years exceeds the total spent in Alaska up to the present time.
 The Federal Government in one state allotted purely for the purpose of beautifying highways in one year, almost much money as has ever been spent in Alaska for roads
 You who accustomed to travelling on paved highways will readily that of our greatest needs in the north is additional transportation

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1886

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1886 Benefic aspects rule strongly to- day, according to astrology. What ever is important should be pushed with energy Opportunities of su- preme importance may be numer- ous on the Earth
 Persons who have the key to suc- cess in business or politics now will gain greatly in advancing their plans. Again the seers foretell con- tinuation of success for those who already possess much.
 This is an suspicious day to bar gain for future rewards, whether they be commercial or political. It is lucky for entering into big con- tracts for the future.
 The rule of the stars encourages whatever is associated with educa- ton. It is fortunate for ceremon- ies and for entertainments.
 Engineers and architects will have busy summer, also persons who manufacture products made of iron and steel. The seers forecast ex- traordinary demands upon certain industries.
 There is good sign affecting ag- riculture. Much tilling of small farms is indicated and changed methods of food production will be tried successfully.
 Real estate should be bought un- der this configuration, but it does not encourage speculation in large tracts of land
 Because of dishonest practices at fairs and other places where horse races attract crowds, string ent new laws prohibiting gambling in all forms will be enacted in many parts of the country.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of extraor- dinary experiences of a happy sort. Pleasure will mark the coming months when there will be tempta- tion to spend too much money.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be independent and cour- ageous. Subjects of this sign have great initiative and are exceedingly self-reliant

Thus it will not be surprising to see decided swing to the left at Cleveland for vote getting purposes
 That is not to say that Mir Landon may not be nominated He may well be. In fact his chances as the convention opens appear especially bright But the proposal that Senator Borah be named spear head for concerted drive of forces to control the convention would indicate that it isn't so much a matter of the man the platform. The powers that be at Cleveland appear to platform that can be offered as bait to the unwary They want to make it sound liberal in the hope of convincing some Of the electorate that it isn't much the New Dea policies they against but the methods by which the policies are put into operation
 But Mir Borah thus far seems to have outfoxed them He declined the invitation to be the big man gained, he could very easily be junked in Aavol of man the real leaders want and his liberalism would be sacrificed on the altar of party control MT Borah as everyone knows has been around the political ring quite long time.

If by strange quirk of fate success should come to the Republican party in November, those voters can look to see the sugar coating washed away and the Old Guard reactionary policies in full play.

UNEMPLOYMENT

Unemployment, which has been and still is or of the grievous problems of the nation slowly consistently changing into re-employment. The1 is general evidence that the present upward ndustr trends likely to continue, bringing with them re employment and a diminishing Federal relief ro AS Secretary Roper put it. business a whole maintaining current operations and paying dividend for the first time in six years without drawing c capital or other resources.
 Viewing the situation from this angle, Lou Stark, writing from Washington for the New Tor Times, delves into the causes and comes forth wit the following interesting analysis:
 These causes may be found principally in three factors: CD The governments efforts to provide relief and jobs; (2) industry's efforts to maintain employment and to in crease jobs, and (3) the cooperative efforts of business and government.
 To these factors should be added natural" causes which are general and spring out of world trends.
 Part of the Federal contribution toward recovery is to be found in the grand total of persons employed under the works program of the WPA. AS of April 25 last, the agencies of the WPA gave employment to 3,523,638 per- sons and by the end of the fiscal year on June 30 the WPA will have expended $4,300000000
 The WPA itself accounts for 2,586,134 jobs and the remainder credited to a variety of governmental agencies ranging from emer- gency conservation work to rural electrifica- ton. The tasks assigned to these millions of workers on multitude of projects from highway and road building to art, literary and recreatonal activities.
 The increased income that went to the farms as result of the administrations agri- cultural policy is credited with stimulating the industrial market to considerable extent While much of the governments farm-subsidy payments went to pay interest on farm mort gages and taxes agricultural economists say that the portion which remained to the farmers resulted in heavy purchase of manu- factured goods.
 In fact, they estimate that 40 per cent of the 1932-34 increase in factory employment can be attributed to the improvement in rural trade Half of this 40 per cent is estimated to have come directly through increased buying of farmers and the other half from buying in rural communities whose income depends farm conditions.
 Rural retail trade estimated at $5800- 100000 in 1884 compared with $3900- 100000 in 1892.
 Title 1 of the Federal Housing Act is said to have stimulated directly and indirectly $500 1000 of modernization and repair work.
 The contribution made by business toward unemployment according to figures supplied to the members of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, has been the re-employ- ment of 5500000 workers since the low point of 1883 Excluding relief and emergency workers employed by the government, it is estimated that approximately 41,000OO0 per- sons are gainfully employed. Of this number some 100000 are in manufacturing com pared with the employment peak of 1OO0OOO0 in 1929.

Not a Candidate
(New York Times


 Once more, and for the last time MT Hoover de- cares what should have been evident by this time that he is mot candidate" He has 'rgidly pre- vented" his friends from making any efforts in his behalf. His name has been entered in primary or State convention. He is opposing candidates His political activity is concerned solely with the prin cples and the issues upon which the Republican party is to go to the country. The statement made at Chi cago Monday is simple, dignified and candid. It should set at rest the Surmises, rumors and inven- tions born of partisan malice political and personal enmity, that have been put in circulation from time to time.
 AS the leader of his party, the man who has ceived from his fill of honor it is not only his right but his duty to give his best and dsinterested ice. That he has given and is giving. It is natural that he should consult with leaders in many States and make political speeches. Yet whenever he has collogued with Republican politicians or ventred to give his views public policies there has been a whisper baw that he working talking for himself The unreasonable savage ferocity with which he was pursued as if he the fount and origin of the depression has pretty well died out The attribution of statesmans course to personal motives is familiar political habit
 If MT Hoover had taken no hand in politics he would have been called "a base ingrate" When he does take part his interest must be selfish Such the amenities of politics. and it would be idle to hope for change. MT. Hoovers denial unnecessary to his friends. still multitude Is it likely that MT Borah will swallow the evidently sinister impica- tion in this remark of MT. Hoovers2 t fE9
 The seriousness of the convention is evidenced by the fact the large majority of delegates being by the people of the States without other instructions than to find the right thing to do for the country in the greatest crisis have met in two generations
 MT Borah He knows them for a trick of the Old Guard to bamboozle the convention. frustrate the will of the Republican people choke liberalism and keep the party ill the wilderness for four years more
