WHY (it IBBLE OVER PRICE OK TIMBER?
The our thing th , ' w mid absolutely make certain
tlie dev clot men i ■ f a pulp and paper industry in
Ala ka would be for the Government to sell timber
at a stipulated price far all of the thirty year period
decided upon as the proper length of time for the
life i f at leave, li is urged against ‘iich a plan that
capital Inverted in the industry would reap the ad
vantage if the advancing value of the timber. Why
not?
The income the Government derives from the sale
of it ur. s is nf t important. Aft the best it ha., been
end always will be email. The public lands of tlie
t nited S'.ati never yielded direct profits to the Gov
ernment. Tiie National income from tlie natural
ivroureis alway. liar and always will come indirectly,
the remit e.f their develpunient. Develop the natural
resources and they will produce income and other
internal and tariff taxes, not only through those dl
reqtly concerned in their development, but through
there everywhere who trade directly or Indirectly
with those so concerned.
The Indirect profit, the r.o-ealled increment, l
one cf 111- important factors in securing capital toi
development of frontier countries. Capital goes intc
new and untried fields when tlie chances for large
profits me present. There are plenty of opportuni
ties in those sections of the country where tlie ex
perimenting Iras all been done, where the industrial
are thoroughly e taiblished, where there are no haz
ards, for one with capital to nuke reasonable Interest
on hit inve muitr. lie may buy first mortgages oi
bonds of c: .blitdied institutions or public securities
and get interest on his money where there is neithoi
risk involved nor care needed to protect tlie invest
* merit. Mtniy goes a piintei i ing i nly when then
are chancer fir large profit.-, and tlie so-called "an
earned Incrcm-en:." the advancing value of the rc
i ourcf.' i.tiligid, is perhaps t he most alluring of the
chances fur profits and the one that usually turns thi
trick and causes the favorable decision.
It lias be n estimated by those who have given
it careful com idination that I lie development of the
pulp and paper bur.lnc - in Southeastern Alaska would
bring Into this section of Alaska a large population.
It lias been placed as high as 100,000 people in ten
years. That many happy and prosperous people in
Southeastern A1 isk-j would pay tlie Federal Govern
ment in taxes far mere money than it could ever
hrpe to secure from the sale of timber, and it would
give the people of tlie P-tutcs a market that would
enable thorn to realize the worth of Alaska to the
Nut i-on.
The need iter . itch a eonce-.-rinn is obvious. People
do not like to run t’.ic risk of investing millions
where -it mu.-c nav no matter wbat conditions the
future might bring. They do not like to place -their
Investment at the mercy of constantly changing
political conditions or waves of public sentiment.
There are too many opportunities for Investment
where the hazards are borne by the producing masses
for that.
HONESTY REWARDED.
.Little tilings often remind us mat there Is much
good in tho world. A pretty story of line honesty
finely i(warded came to light recently in New York.
A minister of the 0pel ,\vi.li the American United
Presbyterian Mission in far-off India remitted fifty
dollars to the Knights of Columbus with the informa
tion that the minister, while a chaplain with thr
American Expeditionary Korccs In France, had re
ceived athletic material to that value from tin
''Catty’s" and deflated it to offii rs of tile regimenl
to which lie was attached. He explained (hat he trans
mitted the value of the materials lo the Knights be
cause he knew that the first concern of the Knights
was fer tho welfare of enlisted men and decided that
ho would refund pie value of the athletic equipment
vs re in as he acquired sufficient funds. He sent the
first lifty dollars ho had got that lie could really
call his rwn.
The money w.s r turned to the Presbyterian tnis
elcnary with the statement that in distributing
Knights of Columbus athletic equipment to officers
of the American Expeditionary Forces lie was assist
ing in currying out the purpose of the Knights of
Columbus welfare work.
Those people who fear tnm Canada will control
Ihe pulp and paper industry on the American con
tinent should,use their influence toward the starting
fit the industry In Akika. This Territory and Wash
ington and <>rijgon could come so near supplying the
heme demand that ne ttfer country could control
the situation.
BOTH SIDES PROCLAIM CONFIDENCE.
Beth Democratic and Republican leaders declare
that there is nothing to It, that the next Presidential
< Icctltn is already settled. The only difference be
tween thrm i that Republican loaders say that Presi
dent Hatd-ing will be renominated without serious
cppositlon and, that the election will simply he a
jatlfieaticn fit tho nomination while Democratic lead
«|-s says .there It absolutely no chance tor the
re-election of President Harding or the election of
any Kepublican for President next year. Republicans
bare most of their confidence upon, the approval of
the people of tlie Washington Disarmament Confer
ence and the President's World Court proposal and Dip
prevailing prespertiy. Democrats points to the result
of the State and Congressional elections last year
and the municipal elections in Chicago, Baltimore
and ether cities this year.
So there you are. Next year the perple will make
their decision r.nd one oi tlie other set of 1923
guessers will become 1924 explainers’.
The appointment of Representative Harry 1. Staser
as Deputy Cnited States Marshal at Anchorage will
please the many friends that very able and energetic
young Alaskan made at Juneau during the legislative
' session just closed.

Yukon Geological Work.
(Dawson News.)
The message from Ottawa to the effect Dr. W. G.
Cockfield and staff will continue their geological
work in Yukon this year is good news. The message
also states that part of i he time will be spent in
southern Yukon and a part in the Mayo district.
In all work the most essential thing or that which
will obviate delay in the most urgent matter deserves
first consideration. in this instance, tlie Mayo dis
trict is. beyond question, deserving of first considera
tion. The Muyo district is. the new live and pro
ductive section of the Territory. All parts of Yukon
are sharing tlies benefits from the development of that
I camp. The Whitehorse business and other interests
are reaping a good share of the Mayo prosperity, and
Dawson gets her share. If Keno Hill continues to
! come up for ten years, yes, five, at t.he rate she has
Hie last three she will lift the whole Territory to a
level of active mineral production and thrift that will
inaugurate an era of large operations and prosperity
such as Yukt n never b< fore knew and which will
j place the Territory among the biggest quartz mining
| sections of the continent.
i Keno Hill is lint one of many bills in the Mayo
| area on which nan been located rich silver deposits.
| The other hills have not developed ore of the high
, crude ol Keno, hut let Keno get to producing on a
, little larger scale, and the reduction works and other
| facilities, with possibly smelters will net be Iona- in
looming which will bring the many lower grade prop
jerties of the district into the producing column. It
| is also reason a. hie to expect that with so many lower
grade silver bearing hills in the neighborhood of Keno
j that there must be higher grade ore of the same
! nature in the same area. The Beaver River dlseov
i cries of last year give tremendous promises on these
; lines.
The most logical locality to do the first geo
| logical work is the locality where the best prosjfccl
j already are located. The Mayo area has these on
j Sourdough Hill, Caribou Hill, Galena Hill, Stand-To
Ml. Cameron, the Beaver and other such hills. Tl

Afraid of Good English.
-v
(San Francisco Journal.)
Once upon a time- Iasi August, at the opening ol
Ihe school term. In fact -u certain small boy with i
brand new cap and a glow on his round cheeks en
Itered for the first time the gates of learning in one oi
our schools. He came from a plain American horn*
j where the speaking of good English happens to be u
matter of tradition and pride. At the end of the firs!
I week, he was attacked by six boys of Ills class am
Kid that he must ‘stop saying that word 'new.'” Hr
j must say ‘‘noo." He declared tearfully that "noo’
| wasn l right. ' It Is so," argued the belligerent six
j "Teacher says it that way." And for a time the ehilii
‘was intimidated and made miserable by mockery.
! Listening to the average group of children, on*
| could easily conclude that this might be a typical cir
; cumstance. In the case of the teacher, of course, il
iv.as a matter of sheer carelessness and could bn easily
remedied. But in the cu e of the child, if this treat
ment were continued, there would come a fear o
i speaking good English. lie would he made fun of
He would be singled out as different. And nothing
hurts a child more than to be set apart from hi*
mates. Small children run to mass action. If all th*
hoys are wearing blouses (bat look almost like shirts
your boy will be marked if lie appears in a middy
Why not take account of this and make good use ol
it? Why not make good English the popular thing?
It is net the purpose of this editorial to attack our
splendid public school system nor our teachers, bill
I merely to suggest to parents and teachers the Idea oi
| uniting to make the speaking of good English popu
lar. Why not. both In the class room and at home,
| commend and reward the child who is careful about
| Ids "don't yon’s”; who doern't say "hunderd" foi
i hundred; and who knows something about shall and
i will? Three might come the time when the boy whe
lays noo will- be set right by a determined llttl*
committee of six or more.
