editorial page
The Juneau Dispatch declares
that it was the first la Alask.. to
declare lor home rule. Like all of
the Dispatch's historical declara
tions its most important feature is
that it is not true. Further than
that, iixo Finnigan, it has been
on auii off so often that its course
has beeu like a suako track ill the
dust. The Skagway Alaskan and
the Ketchikan Journal and tlu
Nome Nugget wore fighting for
home rule in Alaska for yeare, whil
the Dispatch, as now, was first ou
the one side and then on the oth
er. Further than that, the Dispatcl
was not the first to declare for
Statehood. Gov. Brady heut it by a
decade.—Juueau Einpiro
COI'PER
Copper is again advancing in
price, *j;d this time it is advancing
iu spite of the circumstance that
copper production has reached what
is prcbably the highest point in the
history of the country. It is with
in abou» a cent of the price it
reached last spring before the great
ly increased production began. The
high prices touched at that time
caused producers to expand their
means of production to such an ex
tent 'hat two or three cents were
lost ia the price, but the great de
mand in the United States and Eu
rope is again sending it upward..
This aucrurs woll for Alaska for
both 'he First and Third Divisions
are copper producers as well as
gold producers, and both »re ca
pable of yielding a much greater
tonnage. If the prices continue to
advance, the value of the escports
from Alaska, a ex' year will startle
the country. They will be far great
er this year thaa ever before was
the case.—Ex.
SHOWING NEW RESOURCES
When the ma ter of fwrnishing
supplies for the a'li"s first came up
for discussion, <t was argued t>y
some < rinics of the bidders that this
policy would leave this country de
nuded of supplies fc- her own de
fence in the event of some future
necessity. But -15 a matter of fact
♦Ija demand has developed the re
markable ability of the American
'ndasrrfes to increase their output
if time permits. The output of
pow «er has lncre'-xd ten-fold. The
demand for copper is going to be
unusually large, bu» it can be met,
beyond any ques'iou. The situation
ha3 proved the ability of tht large
American industries to meet the de
mands made upo.i 'hem. If sufficien
time is given. Bit it has also
shov/n that if any such demand had
come upon the United States for
our own national defence, and the
need hnd been immediate, the in
dustries would have been
wholly unprepared. The story
of the prese.it war and of
most of the other important
ware of this generation has proven
that such things come uneapectedly,
with little or warning—Boston

CORRECTING A FAULT
You have undoubtedly noticed that a number of your nepotives
taken during the past summer have been flat. This is due to UNDER
exposure—and the way to pet the test results Is to use a tri-pod, civinjr
a little time to the taking of the picture. Try it—the result will more
than coiupensrte you for the triflinp cost of the tri-pod. If you do not
have one, we can supply your wants. Metal or wood. With or without
