mines which, oa account of climatic

weather permits. Vast tonnage

going ard coming to and from the
interior. As long as there is an

the ouliet for that interior. Skag
vray not only has a bright future,
but bag realities which are now
in operation, that makes it a most
desirably place for one to cast bis

XOT FUTURE BUT REAL
No' a writer, tourist, newspaper
man, prospective lavts'or or pro
moter comes to the grva* northlan4
bu* what speaks of Uio wonderful
future that Alaska, lias before It.
I'ven sourdough Alaskant> are be

successful business enterprise lays
a permanent foundations for this fu
ture. For puhliicty and advertis
ing purposes the appeallrg and at

field for new enterprises.
Bu» in speaking of Alaska would
it not be well for U6 to lay a deal
of stress on tiw* past accomplish
m^n'* rnd real activities wlUch) are
being carried on within the border
lines of our Territory. Progesslve
in every respect, tingling all over
with activity, we have something to
be proud of and) boost. Why then,
no* put the future o* the sthelf
and let 1* come In the due course of
time <*cd shift our attentions to
that which la now a reality. It will
keep us busy even Informing our
selves on what to bap pea. lug with
in the Territory. Living the pres
ent iu a good wholesome manner,
the future will bloeeam cut into a
brigh* reality before we realize It.
At any ratenmke the paramount is
sue, Alaska. It la our home, we
love it, audi have chosen to cast
our lot la the making of the great

American continent. So let's boost [

NEW USE FOB ALASKA GOAL
There may be a new use found
for Alaska coal If the investigations
of George Watkla* Brans, who sur
veyed th<e Bering river, fielda for
t's government, and la a coal ex
pert, nrove successful. He will
test the adaptability of this re
source in the newly discovered pro
ce-s of using powdered coal as a
substitute for olljor fuel. Under
this new process of grinding coal
to a powder, eliminating the moist
ure and feeding It into the furnace
through, pipes like oil Is now fed,
experlmeata have demonstrated tha
a lccoraotvlie wltji cold water In its
boilers can bo moved within 17
minutes, steam up and ready for
work. The experiment* had hiard
ly bten found successful before the
la'erior department began the
work of spreadyiag the system and
making It available to all who
would use It.—Cordova Time®.
