CHANCE l'OR 1MH STK1KS
During the stress of the so-called "hard times" due to readjustment I
following the world's war, there has not been a single business failure in I
Juneau. One or two firms quit voluntarily, having made enough to start in I
business outside. On the other hand, several new firms have started in!
business.
Among the most recent is a new home candy plant which started up
this week. It Is mentioned from the fact that it is a local industry with
possibilities for an increasing payroll in lire with other Industries -which
might be established. There is sa:d to be a good opening for a glove fac
tory. One local firms Intend to make a number of yellow cedar chests
for the Christmas trade. In Alaskan timber, its birch, tough spruce and
yellow cedar, are thus suggested many possibilities for cabinet making, pi
anos and boat building.
Much already has been said about the openings offered tor the man
ufacture of fish by-products, of shell fish, sharks skins, fish oil. etc. The |
great agricultural uplands and valleys of the Tanana. offer no more per- j
petual wealth than may be found and farmed from numerous hays and in
lets which wash the coast shores of Alaska
Some day some enterprising person will utilize the blueberries, the
cranberries, the elder berries and currents and logan berries and other wild
berries and greens and home grown products that abound in the hills and
farms about Juneau by starting a cannery and preserving plant. From
•mall Initial beginnings great industries grow and flourish. The oppor-1
tunlties lie all about Alaskan communities, awaiting only intelligent ap
plication for utilizing them.—Juneau Capital.
T.VNAXA MAY VM'OKT WHEAT
Nearly 40,000 bushels were harvested in the Tanana valley this year ,
and m portion of it is being ground into flour there The point is that sev- j
eral million bushels of a hardy variety of w heat could be raised as easily '
trom the broad valleys and rolling lulls, as were taken from a few home- j
steads this fall. Barley, rye and other cereals, as well as many kinds of j
vegetable also are raised and can be multiplied.
There was a time, it may also he said, when the great plains of the,
middle west and the vast prairies of Canada seemed as remote from mar
ket as the interior of Alaska does at the present time. But transportation |
soon wrought a magical change So it will lie with the Tanana. Tho gov
ernment railroad, to be completed shortly. will furnish a main trade irtery.
pumping rich commercial life-blood into the heart of the Tanana. thus|
forcing a rapid growth towards its future greatness.
And the markets of the world are open to Tanana wheat. The OTient. j
with its great possibilities for trade and cor.Mimptlon. is at Alaska's back
door. Steamship lines in time will ply direcil> from Alaskan ports to sup
ply the needs of the Orient. Alaskan wheat and other products also may
be transported, via water through the Panama canal and to the Atlantic
seaboard porta. Already plans are under * ,y for raising and marketing
reindeer in the world's markets.
Thus we catch a glimmer of th" great things in store for Alaska, once
the transportation problem is solved. — PaiK Capital.

IMPORTATION OK \I.1K\S [ -A
There is a federal law on the statute books that deals exclusively with
aliens. The law is plain and the punishment for infringements severe, but
not too severe. The law states that "any alien who becomes a criminal,
arrested and convicted for any crime, including misdemeanor, may be de
ported." While this law has been in efTect for some time it has not been
working at the trade in Alaska until recently The first offence to come un
der local notice is the removal of Chas. Melberg. known as "Charlie the
Swede." from Anchorage. Melberg was taken into custody by Emigration
Officer LaRue and left for southeastern Alaska on one of the recent boats.
Melberg is wanted in Ketchikan for another offense and will later lie de
ported according the the alien law.
Federal officials in Alaska have been notified by the department heads
that the law will be rigidly enforced. It is reliably reported that there are
a number of aliens in Anchorage under the ban who are liable to deporta
tion to the land from whence they came because they ha\> failed to respect
the laws of Uncle Sam.—Anchorage Times.

t
That this institution is serving a real need in our community is illus
trated In the fact that last Saturday more than twenty-five books were tak
«n from the library by different people in town. The recent lot of ne*\
looks are in constant circulation and the uaiting list for some of them is
large. If you have not taken out your card for the year or if yew card has
run out get a new one. for every dollar put into the library goes for thai
object and contributes to the pleasure and profit of everyone ia town. The
Library has been running almost -a year, and what the women hxve done
in the accumulation of nearly a thousand of the best books and- fornixure
and book case* Is excellent proof of exceptional work.
If you have a new novel which you have read, take it to the library .and
present it to the library with your compliments and thus make it. serve ,ten
times the people It would otherwise serve.
