$2,OOO Check Is
 Received From
 Federal Govt.
Juneau, October 8, 1887

Juneau, October 8, 1887
 The Unemployment Compensa- tion Commission at Juneau, today announced the receipt of the first unemployment compensation con tribution check, the amount be- ing $2,O9O.16.
 r This represents the beginning of an unemployment compensa- tion fund for the Territory of AL aska. The money cannot be used for any other purpose than pay ment of benefits to unemployed workers, payments to begin Jan. 1st, 1889. The expenses of the Commission are paid by the Fed eral Social Security Board so that all contributions go directly into this fund for benefits.
 The failure of liable employ CT to pay his contribution cover- ing the first nine months of 1857 on or before October 31 will sub- ject him to an interest penalty of one-half per cent for each month or fraction thereof that he is de- linquent.
 Under the terms of the Alaska Act all information submitted by employers in paying their contri- buttons and the names of the em- ployees will be kept confidential.
 Approximately 25,000 workers within the Territory will acquire unemployment insurance by vir- tue of the Alaska Unemployment Compensation Act.

in their fight to have their mail service continued out of Ketchi- kan, instead of changed to Wran- gell. The recent call for bids for mail service to Craig calls for a route from Wrangell, instead of Ketchikan, the present starting point. The Board voted against taking action, since the matter is not of Territorial-wide interest, and involves a local controversy.
 It was felt inadvisable to take action at this time on the request of the Seward Chamber that the Board take up the fight against Japa invasion of Alaska sal mon fishing grounds. Since pre- vious action had been taken and is of record, and since Delegate Dimond, Governor Troy and the various chambers of the Pacific Northwest are keeping closely in touch with activities of the feder- al government agencies in the matter, it was felt that nothing could be gained present by fur ther action.
 A letter from the Campbell Fairbanks Expositions Inc, in- vited the Territorial Chamber to send exhibits to participate in the National Sportsman's Show for 1888. Since no funds are avail able with which an exhibit could be sent which would compare with live fish and game exhibits sent by many of the States, it was voted not to participate.
 The secretary reported that re- quests for the bulletin "Glimpses of Alaska, As It was and As It Is", are becoming heavier and are being used at the rate Of about $50 per month, in addition to the many copies being sent out by the member chambers, Governor Troy's office and thru other similar agencies. A report on a proposed pictorial folder will be made to the Board of Managers at it's next meeting.
 There being no other business the meeting adjourned.

Minutes Of The
 Terri. Chamber
 Commerce Issued

The Nome Nugget is in receipt of a typewriter account of the minutes of the meeting of the Alaska Territorial Chamber of Commerce, held at Juneau, Alas ka, October g, 1887, and is here with published in full, for the in- formation it contains:
 A meeting of the Board of Man agers of the Alaska Territorial Chamber of Commerce was held in Juneau, Alaska, on the above date, with the following members present: First Vice-President, F. A. J. Gallwas and L. w. Kilburn of Douglas; M. s. Whittier, Wallis s. George and John w. Jones of Juneau; H. R. Wander Leest, Treasurer; and Curtis G. Shat tuck, Executive Secretary.
 Vice-President Ganwas presid- ed. The minutes of the meeting of July 3l, 1887, were read and approved.
 The Board approved the action of the Secretary in regard to re- cent airmail activities. On Sep tenber 2l wire was sent to Post master General Farley, urging the immediate establishment of airmail from the Pacific North west to Alaska via the coastal route. The advantages of this route over an interior Canada route were pointed out. Interest ed parties in the Chambers at Tacoma and Seattle were also contacted, as was Delegate An thony J. Dimond. Wires were sent to the other Chambers in Southeast Alaska, who have a particular interest in the coastal route. It was understood that Anchorage, Fairbanks and other Chambers to the westward and interior were also considering ac- ton in an attempt to secure the coastal route. Letters read at the meeing indicate that Delegate Di- nnond and the Pacific Northwest Chambers of Commerce are doing all in their power to secure the establishment of the coastal route to Alaska.
 There was considerable corres- pondence from the Tacoma Cham ber, favoring a meeting of the Territorial Chamber in Tacoma in December, which members of the various Pacific Coast cham bers would attend. The purpose of the meeting would be to dis cuss and outline future projects for Alaska. After an exchange of several letters it was tentative ly agreed that the Alaska Plann- ing Commission would largely fulfil this function, and that plans for Territorial Chamber meeting in the south would be dropped for the present.
 After discussion. the Board vot- ed to purchase a page of adver- Using in the Alaska Yukon Pio- neers' Civic Exposition official program, at a cost of $100.00.
 No action was taken on requests from two member chambers. The Craig Chamber asked that the Territorial chamber support them

Stamp News
BY I. s. KLEIN

| A CCORDING to Representative N Lindsay Warren of North Car- olina, Postmaster General Farley has authorized issuance of spe- cial stamp to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the estab- lishment of a colony by Sir Wall ter Raleigh in North Carolina. This was the famous Cost colony" sent out by Raleigh in 1887, from which nothing later was heard. The new stamp may be released about the middle of August. Representative Sol Bloom of New York has gone beyond the boundary of this country to drum up interest in the 150th anniver- sary of the framing of the Con- stitution this year. He already has succeeded in getting Ecuador to issue series of stamps for the event. On July 4, and for the fol- lowing eight days, that country will sell both regular and airmail postage commemorating the Con- stitutional anniversary in the United States.
 Regular stamps of seven values will illustrate the "effigy" of the Republic bearing the flag of Ecua- dor. The airmaiI series will show portrait of Washington, and an eagle bearing the flag of the United States.
 Other South American countries may follow this example.
 <
 Although it is assumed in Washington that the. United States will issue a series of Constitution stamps this year, no official word to this effect has yet been given out.

The Right to all
by GEORGE E. SOKOLsKy

Or the shower bath, a century ago!
Those are the people who make our
lives comfortable and cheerful. Not the
wise men who know why everything
is all wrong. No! They seldom do
anything constructive or of permanent
benefit. But the inventor who dis
covered the clothes wringer and his
successor, who worked out the washing
machine - they are the true saviors of
human life and of civilization.
And do you know how they did it?
Most often, they went to see friend
or the village banker or brother-in-
law, and in almost melodramatic
secrecy uncovered the model and said,
'Here's your chance to make a mil
lion"
And some men put their hands into
their pockets and pressed their lips
hard and said: "You can't get me to
put my money into any fool contrap-
ton of that sort"
But there was always the risk-taker,
the man who was not afraid to fail.
That man was willing to take chance
with his money and his friends ideas.
And in the United States, that sort
of enterpriser had the money to do it.
Out of every dollar he earned in 1890,
the government took only FIVE cents in
taxes. Other governments were then
taking about one third of every dollar.
So the American had plenty Of money
to put into new ideas that might sue
ceed or fail.
That is why, from 1900 to 1880,
three billion dollars every year went
into the creation of new industries and
the expansion of old ones. People had
the money and they exercised the right
to fail. That is why we developed the
highest standard of living on earth.
Evening star., 1937-08-08

-HEsE days, when men talk of new
rights, l want to discuss a very
old right - the right to fail. The
right to be wrong. The right to
pursue what appear to be silly ideas.
1t is that ight - more than any
other - which made it possible for
the inventor and philosopher to dream
about the horseless carriage, about
daylight at night, about cities that rise
into the clouds. Nobody could stop
them from dreaming and thinking. But
there have been times in human his
tory when such men were imprisoned
and even burned at the stake - be-
cause they were wrong" They had no
right to be wrong.
However, in the United States, a
news butcher on a railroad could work
his way up to experimenting with an
idea. He failed. He failed perhaps a
hundred times. But he went ahead be-
cause he had right to fail. And he
gave the world the electric light, the
phonograph, the motion picture and
countless other benefits.
The world is really full of Edisons
and Fords, men working on the impos-
sible. Think of the centuries that
alchemists put into changing baser
metals into gold. All the scientific text
books said that they we're wrong, that
they were fakers and charlatans. Yet,
they were right. We can change baser
metals into gold. 1t can be done by
smashing atoms. 1t has been done.
Don't you know the little machinist
in your home town who is always turn
ing out a gadget here and there. He
might become a Walter Chrysler -
who knows? l met the inventor of
the windshield wiper-why didn't we
think of it years ago? Or the Upper?
