NOTHING WRONG WITH JUNEAU.
The week that ii= dosing has been one big in
proraie# lor the future ef this section of Alaska. The
announcement that George 1. Jackson and . A.
Caatleten had closed a deal for the purchase of the
CUichagoff Mine and will resume development work
tbout the midde of September and expect to resume
milling operations within three months, the news that
E L,. Thane is coming here with Japanese engineers
with a good prospect that two or more manufacturing
inductric ■ will be started at Thane at an early date,
the discovery of a rich five-foot ledge of good gold
*re iu the Hirst-Chichagoff Mine, and the development
of plans by Tacoma eapitaists to begin work at Piuta
Hay within lc i than a month make a very satis
factory week.
It has been a long time since the future of
Juneau was brighter in promise than right now. The
good new.-, of the pro nt week was preceded only
a few days by the announcement to the public of the
preparations of F. C. Dougherty and associates to
erect pulp and paper mills at Thomas Bay, and that
was preceded by the acquisition of Hawk inlet gold
properties of large promise by R. K Neil, tlie Spokane
mining tnan, who Is preparing for early development.
In the meantime preparations for the resumption of
work al Junlin are under way and development con
tinue.’ at Lislanski Inlet, William Henry Bay, Funter
Brj’, Sum Dum and other points, and plans are matur
ing for activity in the neighborhood of Sitka.
Other plans for development in this region are
progressing and may be announced at any time.
There is nothing wrong with this section of Alaska.

HELP MAKE THE FAIR A GREAT SUCCESS
Interest in the Southeastern Alaska Fair, which
will bo held in Juneau beginning September 20 and
continue for thrfee day:', already manifested all over
the Flral Division, together with the capable man
agement that has been provided, insures the success
of the affair. The success of the Country Fair held
in Juneau last year was a token what we may ex
pect this year. It wa. even better than those who
planmd it had hoped for. it inspired confidence
in the institution ou the part of the people, and It is
expected tiiat the exhibits and entertainment this
year will far surpass those of the first fair held in
Juneau.
Southeastern Alaska got a lot of good advertising
out of tlie fair last year, and there will be more
this year. It behoove., everybody, therefore, to co
cpeiate in every way possible with the management
of the fair to make it just ai big and representative
as it is possible.
Not only is a fair such as that which will he
held in Juneau a valuable advertising medium, but
it is educational and in many other wu.vh helpful to
the local people themselves. It is worth while for
people to know what can be done at home, and there
is no better way to learn that than to discover
what is being done. As a result of these fairs
there will he, for one thing, a greater demand for
home products, and that will encourage greater
production.
Let everybody in Juneau do his best to help to
l*ut the fair over the top, and the greater the effort
to help the greater will be the success.
THE NATIONAL CATHEDRAL.
The Protestant Episcopal Church lias started in
tar nett to complete t lie meat National Cathedral the
foundation ."tone of which wag laid in 1!»07. It la
pm posed to make this great house of worship one of
the masterpieces cf architectural achievements of the
world. The building will be smaller than the Cathe
dral of St. John the Divine in New York, but it will
be larger than St. Haul's in Ixmdon, and much larger
than Notre Itamc in Paris. It Is located on the sum
mit of Mount St. Alban, the highest point in the
District cf Columbia, and, when completed, it will
be one of the dominating features of Washington land
nape, taking place with the Capitol, Washington
Monument, Uacoln Memorial and Arlington, and, in
i .Kf rcrpects. excelling any of them. It Is hoped
to complete the building within the next live years.
The estimated cost is $10,000,000.
It Is said that President Washington inspired the
suggestion that is set forth by Major L'Knfant in his
plans for the City of Washington:
A church for national purposes, such as
public prayer, thanksgiving, funeral ora
tions, etc., a tut to be assigned to the special
ure of no particular denomination or set, but
equally open to all.
That Idea, for many reasons, has been found Im
possible. but those who started the plan for u great
National Cathedral in Washington had that sugges
tion In the background when they set out to build a
cathedral that would be 10 nearly National in Its
character that it would be cherished by all the Am
erican people and place the capita! of their country
Oit a plane with the great capitals of Europe in the
poesccsion of one of the four greatest cathedrals of
tbe world. The circumstance that those whq are col
fectJnp fond# lor the building are receiving contri
bution* froin ‘those of alf denominations and from
>
those who belong to none indicates that the people
are taking a National pride in having such a cathe
dra! as that proposed in the country’s Capita! City.
WHEAT FARMERS SEE THE LIGHT.
Tlie wheat farmers have discovered that the Emer
gency Tariff Act, the schedules of which were later
i incorporated in tlie Fordney-McOumber Act, forced
i through Congres by the Farmer Bloc, simply shut
out the American dealers and made the competition
between American and Canadian wheat raisers more
keen. Temporarily it shut the Canadian wheat
raisers out of the American markets but as a per
manent proposition it sent them to the markets
where the American surplus is sold, the markets
which, if over supplied, fix wheat prices for the
world, as competitors, and the result was lower
j rather thun higher wheat prices. In addition to
this, the Fordhey-MeCumber Act imposed a higher
tariff on all that the farmers purchase. The wheat
farmers now wish they had not asked for the tariff,
and in Minnesota all the parties declared for lower
:
If Mr. Summers can supply the people of Seattle
I as good weather as he lias given Juneau this year
' his popularity in his new home will soon have been
established. He set a mark here to beat which will
keep Mr. Mize on ills toes.
President Coolidge believes that "there is a right
to be well born, well reared, well educated, well
employed and tvell paid,” but he believes the right
cun be secured through work and thrift rather than
through unreasoned agitation and the destructoin of
business prosperity.

Wilson's Word to Capitalism.
(San Francisco Joornnl.)
Woodrow Wilson has spoken after more than two
years of retirement. His message to the world of
fellow mortals of the body politic is brief, occupying
but two pages of the current Atlantic Monthly; but
i: is large with suggestion. It touches a mutter very
close tc the root of modern social discontent and
while it does no! deal in any specific plans for remedy
ing the causes cf complaint, it thiows over the whole
[troubled situation the urge that there is need for a
i spiritual awakening that will lead the way of altruism
j in the conduct cf business affairs. This has a familiar
mound. To make the message of the life of Christ a
living reality has been the aim of the Christian
church ever since it has recognized Us true social
obligation. But perhaps the call has not been heard,
and it may need the voice of a Wilson to make its
meaning clearer.
Tiie Christian religion, divested of its manufac
tured and superimposed rites, dogmas and superstl
| tlons, is the purest ethical Inspiration that has ever
J found human experssion. A carping critic- uttered an
j unpleasant truth when he said that thTs religion
j would doubtless be a great success if it were ever
j tried, but that it had never yet boc-n put into
| practice. Perhaps this is what Woodrow Wilson
j means. Men may dream of spiritual awakening, but
1 it takes action in the realm of practical reality to
wake them up. The approach to the road is plain
and direct. It does not involve the picking up of
the accumulated and incrustod ritualism of outward
I form, nor the acceptance of time-worn and autocratic
: interpretations coming down through the age like
the survivals of once useful but now forgotten func
] tlons. The message of the Spirit of Christ, untarnished
| by profane meddling, is the same living reality today
1 that it has been since the beginning of the world.
"The same yecterday, today and forever.”
i Coming closer to the meat of the question, Mr.
: Wlison pictures world sociul unrest us a blind unrea
! toning reaction against the abstract system we call
j‘ capitalism.” He stops to inquire whether much of
tills opposition may not have good foundation. Then
j lie makes bold to suggest that the forces of capitalism
I open th<ir minds to the human side of industry and
look at things in terms of men instead of in terms
j oi profit.
This is a principle to which Theodore Roosevelt
during tre whole of his public career stood committed,
I and it is agreeable to see another distinguished man,
who has occupied the same high position, come out
j in support of it.
The Tourist Businesss.
(Valdez Miner.)
To those Alaskans not directly engaged in catering
to the travelers who visit Alaskn in yearly increasing
| numbers, tho tourist business has little appeal, and
| this because the vulue of the tourist is not realized.
| Aside front the money the tourists spend in their
!sightseeing trips, which is in itself a considerable
item, their potential value to the Territory Is a still
grater one, for the tourist is also the possible in
vertor. Where one man, attracted by the publlctiy
given this or that district, comes here for the express
purpose of examining and invoeting, one hundred
come with no other thought than a vacation trip,
| Hut the man who can afford a trip to Alaska is a
I man of some means, and he is never adverse to in
creasing his wealth. Show him how this can be ac
complished. and your tourist becomes an investor.
Ho is, and for many years will be an imporafnt factoi
In the development of the resources of the Terri
itery. He should be encouraged in every way. It it
j estimated by business men in Seattle that five pet
j C('nt or the tourtBls visiting that cty become tlnan
| dally interested there, a conservative estimate la
! that seven per cent of the visitors who tour tho
Territory become interested in the development of its
resources. Front this it may readily be seen what
un important part the tourist is destined to play
in the growth and development of our Northland.

The Wonders of Prohibition
“Nobody knows how dry I am" Is
passe, because a lot of fellows In the
same boat know Jhj'w dry a fellow
gets these days, *t>ut we’ll rise ‘and
sing "Nobody knows how' wet this
dry, dry land is.” Chorua w 11 be led
by Wayne B.
If It Fits—
Damp Nature ia a lot wiser than
men; she picks nut their mothers
and every man feels hp has the best
mother In the world—but tnen pick
their own wives, that's whv they
had to invent divorce lawyers.
Personally, we'd rather have others
see us as we see* ourselves than to
see ourselves as others see us.
And speaking of the go-getters—a
fellow these days simply has to have
a late model motor car if he is go
ing after a wife.
A man will snicker at the girl In
knickers, but lie smiles on the girl
who dresses in the dainty butterfly
clothes.
We have seen a lot of things, but
we never saw Opportunity rush in
and grafe an idle man and thrust him
into a piace of wealth and power.
It is funny how much a man enjoys
dancing with her before they are
married and afterwand how little he
cares for tripping the light fantastic
toe—if he has to have her ns a part
ner.
This may sound like treason to the
Paragrnphers Union, but we are will
ing to bet that at least 90 per cent of
the husbands wouldn't rare a rap
about going on a vacation unless
their wives went along.
