A TIME TO BOOST—NOT KNOCK
Alaska newspapers could do no
better than pull together for the
development of all Alaska. This
would include the development of
their respective constituences, and
■u the advancement that would fol
low along material lines great prog
ress would soon be noted in the
permanent upbuilding of the Terri
tory. it is much easier to tear
down thau to build up, but there i
infinitely more pleasure—and prof
it—in building up than ii* tearing
dowu.
There is no community, no section
that would not like to be prosper
ous, aud prosperity is only achiev
ed by woik.
There can be uo doubt about Al
aska's future, it's great natural
resources are going to be developed,
because the rest of the world wants
what Alaska has in great s.bund
auce.
Railroads will be built to open to
development the greater interior
country aud unite,it with the coast.
So will wagon reads and trails be
built to aid still further in the work
cf developmen t
Alaska's agricultural possibilities
are 110 myth. They are just begin
ning to be known in part and ap
preciated in part, and, given popu
lation to consume the products of
the soil farm development will pro
ceed apace.
Alaska's lumber industry is in
creasing and soon many pulp mills
will be making us-j of timber that is
now going to waste.
Our water power is a valuable as
set and it promises to bt a mighty
means toward the industrial devel
spment of the country.
Alaska's fisheries are capable of
indefinite expansion, and soou they
will lead the world.
Our coal lands will be opened,
and Alaska is destined to supplv the
whole Pacific Coast and the tribu
tary States with the product of its
4 coal mines—coul and coke, and the
productiou of the latter article will
greatly stimulat- the mining indus
try, especially in Southeastern Alas
ka
These are but a few of the many
points that could be shown illus
trating the great industrial develop
ment that will soou spread all over
the Territory.
This is no time for the nursing
>if morbidity or the cultivation of th
grouch. It is a fine'time for actiou
a time for getting ready to give the
wheels of progress and prosperity a
? ood strong boost.—Juneau Empire.

HKY, THE HE!
BROTHER Bl'SHELL
The editor of the Ketchikau Daily
Miner was evidently in a "grouchy *
condition when he penned the fol
lowing:
There is one thing about it: Not
every woman is qualified to wea
the x-ray skirt.
We are wondering whether th
institution of the split trouser wil
mean the adding of lace frills t
lower etremities of male attire.
That California man under deat'
sentence who has been overlooked
for two years by the authorities has
no kick on the law's delay.
They say that it is possible to
tell from its cry what sort of adul
a new boru infant will make. s Bu
it is then too late to send back
those naughty wails.

"What makes me really mad," said
the woman, "is to spend minutes, may
be hours, trying to get hold of a white
hair that shows up on my head like a
dazzling light, yet which is tantnliz
lngly elusive when I try to cnt^h it.
and then when I do finally separate it
from the brown hair and give it a
vigorous pull, to find that 1 have
snatched out a good brown hair and
left the white one still shining!"—
