PR08PECT8 BETTER.
A wider knowledge of the real
trouble with Alaska is being
shown by many Eastern news
papers. For example, the Brook
lyn Eagle, commenting upon the
coal famine iu that territory,
says:
"The plight of Nome is the re
sult of execrably bad govern
mental policy. In tin! first place,
we have denied In Alaska con
trol of tier'own affairs, such as
Anjrlo-Saxons have a l ight to ox
perl. in the second place, we
have played policies to the ex
tent of preventing private capi
tal from developing Alaska's coal
fields. In the third place, through
governmental agencies, toward
mining and transporting eoal to
where it is needed."
When such clear and sane un
derstanding of the actual rondi
lions in Alaska and I lie reasons
therefor are shown in the East
the prospects for relief for Alas
ka are certainly growing better.
The Majestic.
The pictures shown last night
were welj worth double the ad
mission. Tonight the show will
start promptly at K p. m., as the
Majestic orchestra has been en
gaged to play for the grand ball
given by the Arctic Hrothcrhood.
"The Herders." The artistic
qualities of this picture is what
makes it worth while.
"How Willie Raised Tobacco."
This is a very clever comedy deal
ing with the C.uban tobacco fields
and is full of interest.
"Alkali Ike's Auto." Here is a
comedy that has more fun to the
foot than any picture shown in
Alaska thus far. What could be
funnier than a cowboy with an
auto?
ALASKA'S OUTPUT WILL
LEAD NEXT DECADE
During the decade from 1001
to 1010, inclusive, the total gold
output of the United Stales was
$870,2155,800. Of this produc
tion Colorado contributed $237.
'875,300; California, $181,1 11,000;
Alaska. $ I i i,2557,000; Nevada,
$00,552,00(1; South Dakota, $0i,
0f 0.200. The figures show a
steadily increasing output for
the country as a whole, although
the output decreased in 1001,
1003, 1007 and 1010. A gener
ally increasing output for the
decade is shown for Alaska, Cal
ifornia and Nevada; a fairly sta
tionary output for South Dako
ta, and a generally decreasing
production for Arizona, Colorado,
Idaho. Montana and Oregon. The
comparison of the beginning
with tho ending of the decade
shows greatly incroased output
from Alaska and Nevada and de
creased output from Colorado.
