P. c. Progress
 Various codes of human ethics warn us not to cevat the goods and chattels of our neighhors, but it is hard for Alaskans not to en- " the present construction boom in neighboring British Columbia.
 It is not that Alaska does not have construction boom of her own and one that is probably lar ger, in dollars and cents totals, than British Columbia's.
 The big difference is in the na- twe of the construction. Tn Alaska it is mostly for defense or other productive purposes, while Brit ish Columbia is concentrating on industrial construction and devel- cpment.
 Many of the present Alaska pro- iects will continue to be a drain on the taxpayers when they are finished. Those in British Columbia, on the other hand, will produce tax revenues to help pay the cost of government.
 Industrial construction in British Columbia includes new pulp and paper mills and expansion of old ones; an aluminium reduction plant, a zinc refinery, several ply wood plants, big fertilizer works and an iron ere shelter Oil and natural gas and other mineral re- sources are being developed.
 Uncle Sam is one of British Co., lumbia's best customers and last year took more than 50 percent of the exports of the province, or around $227000,000 worth of good.
 Nearly all of the industrial plants being built in British Columbia could be duplicated in Alaska. so lar as potential power and avail ability of raw materials are con- cerned.
 And most of the goods and ma- terials now shipped from British Columbia to the States could be supplied by Alaska.
 Why is industry experiencing a boom in Canada while it remains virtually stagnant in Alaska?
 Relative costs are a large part
The Daily Alaska empire., 1951-06-23

of the answer = wages, transporta- ton charges, taxes, and so forth.
 It is not likely, or even desirable, that wages in Alaska will be cut to the Canadian level. And because of the longer haul to Alaska. trans portation costs may always be greater.
 That leaves taxes, and in a tax incentive program lies perhaps Alaska's greatest hope of attracting industrial concerns.
 Exemption from Federal taxation for industrial enterprises in Alaska, after the plan of Federal tax ex- emption in Puerto Rico, the Canal Zone and Guam, would do much to offset higher building costs, higher wages and transportation costs.
 And personal exemption from Federal income taxes would, by off, setting high living costs, be a great help in attracting the settlers and ocrmanent residents Alaska so bad y needs.

BANNERS IN LOSING CAM,
 BUT AT TOPS
By Associated Press

The Pacific Coast League clubs swing into the second round of ther weekend series tonight, and once again it appears as if rearrange- ment of the first division is in pros pect.
 The Sacramento Solons, breathing hot on the necks of the Seattle Rainiers following an 8-6 triumph in their series opener last night, play host to the league leaders again The victory left the Solons only a half game behind the Rainiers, who took over the lead from the Sacs at this time last week.
 Down at the other end of the line it's something else again. One nice thing about being in the cellar. No body expects you to win anyway. which may be consoling to the hap less San Francisco Seals.
 The Seals, with a 40 lead to work on, collapsed like a house of cards in the ninth inning at oakland last night and succumbed. to 4. The Oaks suddenly lit the fuse under cheerful Chester Johnson, the San Francisco starter, and before the carnage ended, two relief hurlers were blasted into submission as well.
 Artie Schallock and the Hollywood Stars performed an 8-1 autopsy on Los Angeles. The Twinks, winning their fourth in a row, piled up a six-run lead in the first inning, then coasted in behind the little lefty's five-hit pitching.
 At San Diego it was no verse. Portland pounded four Padre pitch CTS for IT hits and a 12-2 triumph. Eddie Basinski drilled a three-run homer during Portland's six-run spree in the ninth inning.

OLD JOE JOY

You may fire when you are ready, Gridley," said Commodore George Dewey at O542 on that his toric morning at Manila Bay when his squadron of cruisers and gum boats licked the Spanish fleet be- fore breakfast.
 What the commodore said when he ordered breakfast that morning is not recorded in history. Did he have his eggs sunny-side up? Or hard boiled?
 A man who might have answered that question died in Ketchikan a few days ago. His name was Joe Loy and to all but few who knew him well he was just another anc- tent Chinaman.
 While it is not certain that Joe Loy cooked Commodore Dewey's sreakfast after shooting was over ,n that bright morning of May l. 1898, it is known that he was one of the cooks aboard the cruiser Olympia which carried Dewey's flag.
 Bern in Canton nearly 86 years ago, Joe Loy received better than average education before he left his homeland. In later years he wrote hundreds of letters, in Chinese brush characters, for his less skilled countrymen in Alaska.
 It was about 1890 when Joe Loy first arrived in Alaska as one of four cooks and stewards aboard the little gunboat Pinta which was sta- ticned in these waters from 1884 until 1897 He remained on the Pin ta until she completed her Alaska duty and reached Mare Island Navy Yard in the summer of 1897
 At Mare Island he was trans ierred to the gunboat Concord which was enroute to Hong Kong to join the American Asiatic Squad ron. And at Hong Kong he trans ferred again, to the flagship Olym- pia.
 when the Spanish American War ended many of the ships of our navy were decommissioned and Joe Loy was out of job. He soon found another with the old U. s. Revenue Marine, now part of the Coast Guard, and returned to Alas ka in vessels of that service.
 He was in the galley of a number of the Revenue Cutters, including the Perry which was wrecked on St. Paul Island in 1910 and the Tahoma, wrecked in the Aleutians in 1914. Thereafter, shifting to ves- sels purposely seeking the rocks, reefs and other hazards to navi- gation, he served in ships of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. His last sea service is believed to have been in the Surveyor.
 After he left the sea, Joe Loy worked as cook at the Sunny Point cannery in Ketchikan and at other Southeast Alaska salmon canneries until he was up in his seventies. He quit working for wages then, but he continued to make his own liv- ing, or a large part of it.
 he was not one to hang around the fish docks where he might easi- ly have bummed small halibut or salmon or red snappers from the fishermen and buyers. Joe Loy caught his own fish and for many years the little old Chinaman, trudging home with string of black bass or rock cod, was a fa- miliar sight on the streets of Ket- chikan.
 There were no military honors for Joe Loy when he was buried. AL though a military force may travel on it's belly, the cooks of the out fit are seldom honored.
 But Joe Loy was also an Alaskan for upward of sixty years; one Of the breed of Alaskan pioneers who believed in rustling for himself so long as he was able. AS such, we salute him here.

WILLIAMS
 IS 1 MAN
 GANG YET
By Associated Press

So Ted Williams is no team player Don't try to sell that to the Chicago White Sox.
 Williams was a one-man gang at Fenway Park last night as the Red Sox clipped the fleet Chicago lads 6-5. Vern Stephens game-winnine homer with man on stole the headlines but Williams put on a brilliant all-around exhibition n fielding, throwing and hitting.
 Ted actually starred in the field. Honest. He raced to the scoreboard in left to make a sensational leap ing stab of Chico Carrasquels fly to save the game in the eighth. Chicago had knocked out Mel Par nell, scoring two runs and had men on second and third when Williams ended the threat.
 Parnell, tagged for three runs III the third on singles by Bob Dlilln- ger and Nelly Fox and Minoso's homer, was chased in the eighth Ellis Kinder's no-hit relief work and Williams catch saved Parnell's eighth win and a lifetime 17-3 rec ord against Chicago.
 Randy Gumpert. with 70 rec ord as a starter and relief ace, took tie loss. Luis Alomo and Mary Rot blatt followed with effective shutout jobs.
 With Allie Reynolds throwing his second straight shutout, six-single GO job against Cleveland, the New York Yankees clipped Chicago's American League lead to 2l2 games the same margin they left home with two weeks ago.
 Bobby Teller just didn't have fl in his try for seventh straight and 11th victory. The Tanks combed him for eight of their 10 hits in seven innings.
 Six Runs First Inning
 Bucky Harris was rushed to a Washington hospital for observation while his Senators were losing to Detroit, 7-3. Fred Sanford, the ex- Yank who threw flashy three hitter in his first Washington start, vas knocked out by the Tigers in a six-run first inning Ted Gray need- ed help from Hal White in the eighth to nail down his third win.
 Gus Zernial poled two home runs off Al Widmar as Philadelphia nrdged St. Louis little deeper into the cellar with a 5-2 win behind Alex Kellner.
 Brooklyn and Pittsburgh struggled through lighting trouble and show CTS in damp marathon that fin ally ended at 12:55 EST, this morn ing. They were two hours late start ing because of light trouble and de- layed another 36 minutes by rain. At last it was written into the records as another Brooklyn win, 8-4, pre- serving their 6ia game lead on New York. Clyde King was the winner on relief over Ted Wilks.
 Rookie Willie Mays gave New York Giant fans a shot in the arm with a three-run homer in the 10th to whip Chicago, 9-6.
 Sam Jethroe, restored to center field when Tommy Holmes took over as Boston Manager, came thru with a two-run double with two out in the ninth for the Braves 8-7 win over St. Louis.
 Cincinnati ripped into Jocko Thompson for three in the first inn ing and made it stand up for 3-2 edge over the Phillies to move into fourth place.
