FAST INFANCY
If Alaska is to be a power In the
world of achievement and recog
nized by industry which is the back
bone of any country, w»> must seek
a uew ck-ss of i>e op 1 q auj eucourago
them to make this norlhland their
home.
We welcome the tourist for two
reasons. we are proud of our scenic
wonderland and second he spends
some money with us. This is only
temporary however. We ne^d a
class of people, with capital, to
start things.- A class that will put
in, instead o' takiug out of the
territory. There are very few peo
ple lu the norttland at 'he pres
ent time but what some time in
their li:» have the fond hopes of
some day being able to settle la
tho states and make their perman
ent home elsewhere, other thaa in
this ^re; t hemisphere of opportun
ity.
Alaska undoubtedly offers more
to the square inch for the young
man thau any other country in the
ttor.d. The famous utterance of
Horace Greely when he saiid,
* oui.g maa go west andgrow up
wi'h the country," could well
u to yout ger generations
s^eki^g places to get a foothold.
Alaska covering a space larger
than any two statts iu the Union
has tl'e greatest facilities of anf
country to become the >creuitest pro
due*. r ia mines, timber, fish, quar
ries, farming, and manufacturing of
any Vi the states. Just peeKing
over tbasket which has held its
infant iorm for the list decade, we
are ginning to breathe deeply of
P06i.t i1 itits of our enormous wealt'«
One feature is lac-king in moot
ot* tae towns, and tha*- is the pro
per method to interest capital.'
Some c? the towns have been fortu
nate enough to make the strike
and r;a-)it4l has seen 'he advantages
and as a rosult those particular
towns have soared above all others.
There is scarcely a town t>u the
co«i;i uut what shows seme signs
(-f mining activity. Properly
handled those towns co tld be put oa
a o-lying basis and a largepay roll
buil» up therein.
With the recent de/elopment of
the coal fields, the government rail
road, certainly if there is anything
to the territory, capital should seek
to tune some paying investments
iu tue ^orth.
li» S^agway there presents itself
v tii.' most favosftble opportune
tits fc r the erection of a paying
sai.Iter that can be found anyplace
ou the American continent. With
the mines working in the interior
and t. "s being the natural gate way
to those mines, certainly sooner or
later, it the proposition is properly
presented to big business, they will
see the feasibility 0X making the
investment. Ore^at the preseut tlma
mu.-t be loaded in boats and taken
to T'icoma to be smelted. By the
estaD!is.Hment of a smalter on the
shores of Lynu Canal the vast
amount of useless work, Iosb of
energy and saving of money could
be made, it may be previous to
make the suggestion, but sooner or
later you will see the tall stack of
modern industry humming with
movement on the shores of this can
al. .

Business men of Haines have
been complaining lately of the
poor dispatchmemt o' mail between
Skagway aad Haines. Letters will
be mailed on the day a boat leaves
Hajups and It will not be delivered
In SKHgway until four or five days
have elapsed. Aa investigation
has been started by the people in
that locality. If conditions are
ag they have been represented to
the Daily Alaskan; tbea ft is time
a 'norough examination of the con
dition is started. Knowing the ac
curacy of our local postal depart
ment in distributing mail upon
arrival we cannot "but feel that
the difficulty lies with the Haines
district. Either the people do not
get. their mail to the postoffice in
time or the postmaster of that city
does uot get it off on the boat.
NOT DEAD BtJT SLEEPING
(Communication) »
A v.'sitor from the Atlantic State?,1
recently in out midst asked us,
'What are the Skagway people do
ing to euduce the tournt to spend
a portion of his time in Skagway?
The transportation companies and
tourist agencies are devoting large
sums of money to turn the tide of
pleasure seek era to Alaska and
we are informed that they have suc
ceeded this summer in booking the
steamers to full capacity.
Tho major portion of tfcese travel
ers for pleasure will remain in
Skagway but a few hours, but if
your natural advantages were given
development you would have hun
dreds of people to entertain for
weeks instead of hours.
The opportunity placej on your
door&ten should be wecome and giv
:u prompt attention. The trail to
Lake Dewey should be repaired and
made safe for those who appreciate
climbing the hills.
A rare treat for sight seers on
the other side of yourtown re
maius undeveloped, although the
cost would be 'Uvial in compari
son «ith the baoefits and pleasure j
obtainable. Across the river you i
have a vast natural park,' with a I
gradual ascent from sea to mountain,
a view pofcnt unsurpassed in Alas- I
ka.
A foot bridge suspended across
the river 10 a low point on the '
bluff would give easy access to this |
liark aed and open- up a natural
playground overlooking Lynn Can- j
al 1^1 h all of its scenic graiideur.
Given ?ome small improvements ia j
the way of rustic seats and a storm J
shelter, with some home boosting
this natural sanitarium would soon j
develop and be appreciated by1
