FEAKFIL COST OF TWO STRIKES
There Is food for every serious thought in the official government es
timates of the losses to the strikers, to the employes and to the business 01'
the country iu the two nationwide strikes now" going on.
More than half a billion dollars—$533.000.000—is the portentous ag
gregate of these losses, divided as follows:
Railway workers and coal miners, at an average of J7,500,000 a day,
have lost $193,000,000 in wages.
The coal operators have lost $240,000,000. estimating $1 a ton for bi
tuminous coal that would have been mined during the sixteen weeks of the
strike.
Total—$433,000,000 for these two items.
The railroads are estimated to have lost the remaining $100,000,000
through curtailed transportation facilities and other expenses.
There are 690,000 miners and 550,000 railroad workers on strike, ac
cording to the estimate, an appalling total of 1.240,00 men idle at a time
when every effort is being made to reduce Involuntary unemployment to a
n.lnlmum that the country may get back to normal industrial and economic
conditions.
Is there any sound or honest reason why the authority of the people as
a whole, in whatever way it may be legally exercised, ought not to be exert
ed toward ending this state of affairs, which is so rapidly assuming the pro
portions of an industrial and economic crisis?—Cordova Daily Times.
ALASKA OIL—The exploration work in Alaska oil fields, to be under
taken !>> two big companies. Standard and General I'etroleum, and. possi
bly. b> a third, the Sinclaire company, ranks as one of the most important
re> er.t events in the history of the Territory.
Geologists and oil experts, who have prospected the area in which
drilling is to be undertaken, are reported to be greatly impressed by the
surface showings.
Some are declared to be convinced that the surface showings are the
riost extensive and the most promising to be found anywhere In the world.
The tiudinRs have impressed the Great American companies so favor
ably tl.at these concerns have arranged for a thorough and comprehensive
test of the variou» fields, which will establish the extent, quality and value
of the deposits.
Needless to say. no false hopes should he built even upon so Important
an event as this. Oil, like gold, "is where you find it."
However, past experience amply demonstrates the results that inevit
ably follow the discovery of oil in any territory.
Even if the rich deposits are not nearly so extensive or so rich as en
thusiastic uxperts believe, the presence of the product in commercial quan
tities would be a big thlug for the territory and also for Seattle.
Should the fields prove to lie large and the oil of high quality, their
development would usher in another period of expansion for Alaska, and
for this city comparable with, perhaps, even surpassing in magnitude, tha'
which resulted from the finding of gold In the Klondike.
That there is oil in Alaska long has been known. For a number of
years, small properties have been worked, the output beiug marketed in the
territory.
Exploration work on a big scale would have been undertaken long ago.
but for the "red tape" surrounding this, as all other administrative acts af
letting the northland.
The oil act of 1920 contained provisions under which exploration work
on a bigger scale was rendered possible. The big enterprise in which the
great oil companies are Interested is a result of this new policy.
The fact that they have decldeu to enter Alaska cn a big scale and to
r ake a thorough, comprehensive test of the quantity, quality and extent of
the fields is the most important news in many years for Alaska and Seat
tie.—Seattle Times.
Vol* r.lVT BKAT IT—Alaska is truly a lau<i of wonders. The extent
of these wouders is unknown aud impossible to guess. A greater frontier
than has been, a vast Empire mostly unexplored, the Lord seems to have
bis arms around the people who in Alaska go up against the unknown, un
prepared, and come out of the experience in better conditiou than they were
ih w!.t-n they started out upon the great adventure.
Take the case of Aviator Prest, a cheohaoo. He started by airship
thru .in unknown country; started without food or fire, "just to s*e what
he >uid see." and came to grief in a swamp of Xiggarheads, his airship
botti'iuyide-up. stuck for fair and. according to the rules of tbe game. b«
»as food for the mosquitoes aud due to die a horrible death. He was prob
ably pinned underneith his machine when It landed, and all the people of
interior Alaska suffered with hiai for three whole days, while money and
men were turned loose without limit to try and recover the remains. It
was another one of those "Tragedies of the Northland," most of which
never happened.
What happeaed to Prest? The Lord had his arms around him and
was paving the way for him to the Beautiful Isles of Experience. In that
Nigtturhead swamp the Lord had herded a herd a caribou, and Prest's ma
chine landed right io the middle of the herd. In the minute of landing the
focHlu>ss man had a thousand pounds of fresh meat on his hands, just killed
and -ufficient to last htm for months. The Green Grass Grew All Around.
Cow-rs bloomed therein and berries for dessert abounded, while the leaves
of the trees on the edge of the swamp furnished him with clean dishes for
the remainder of the summer without once having to wash a dish. The
gentle rain tell and fell and tell until no mosquito could exist in Prest's
vicinity unless It wore goloshes and a mackintosh and was belted with a i
cork life preserver. The Gladiator who started out to make a Roman Hol
iday (or the populace of Alaska lauded squarely in the middle of the North
ern picnic, and the only guest at the party! Can you beat it?
They wire us that I'rost Is "undaunted," and will "try it again next ;
year." We can see why he should be "undaunted," and we can see why ,
he should try gain every year. He has tried it two years in succession, and
has lost an airship each year, but look at the experience he has had! The
fiirst time the gales wrecked his ship the thoughtful gales wrecked It in ,
wet Territory, at Prince Rupert, British Columbia, just before he would hit
the "arid belt of Alaska." The secoud time his airship killed caribou In
Alaska in the closed season, and no law can touch him for that! The next
time his airship will probably knock the top ofT Mt* McKinley and create
a flat site for a summer hotel which will be priceless as an investment: or,
if he takes the lower latitudes and lands in a ditch where the Hammon
dredges will be working next year, he will come out of the dtych so en
crusted with gold that he will be worth a fortune to any rich collcctor of
| rare and beautiful objects of virtue!
L Alaska is a great country. As Lou Dockstadter used to phrase it In
190S, you awaken here on a summer morning and find a ton of Ice on your
doorstep, and you didn't order it, and it doesn't cost you a cent. On the
Impossible outside what you would get the same morning would be a wet
spot on the sidewalk and a bill for $10.—Fairbanks News-Miner.

what avould happen
Chicago, Aug. 26.—"You are go
ing to experience a great calamity,"
gypsy fortune-teilera told H. J. Mc
Cullougli, proprietor of a poolroom.
"Hut don't worry, you'll be rich some
day." The calamity struck. Seventy
live dollars taken from his pockets,
left the poolroom with the gypsies,
McCullough told Englewood police.
The old Signal Co:ps telegraph line
between Nenana and Fairbanks has
been abandoned and all messages are
tow being set over the railroad wires
by way of Dunbar, which is a com
paratively new line and in spleudid
working order. The station at Cbena
nas been closed and the equipment
will be picked up by the transport
Jacobs on the present trip up river.
The signal corps men in charge there
will be detailed to duty elsewhere In
t;.e Territory. The old line, which
follows the hills bordering the Tan
ana river was a source of much trou
ble to the Signal Corps boys, who
were frequently called upon to make
long trips to make needed repairs.
