ANOTHER ENCOURAGING
ANNOUNCEMENT.
Tho announcement that the Juneau sawmill ha
entered into a contract to cut 5,000,000 feet of lum
her for shipment to Australia in addition to 2,000,001
feet it is calculated will be required for local con
sumption moans that another Juneau inslitutioi
which has been operating only a part of the tlm
of recent years will be running at full speed for mot:
of 11123. Taking into acrount the men who will b
employed in and about the mill and its wharf
in the legging camps and in towing logs this an
nouncement means another substantial payroll for th
coming season.
It is understood that other mills in Southeastern
Alaska will likewise lie operated on full time all sum
mer and fall.
Not only does this assure largely Increased pay
tolls for tills section of Alaska but it means Increasei
income for r.tumpage, cen- quently more money fo
Southeastern Alaska roads through the Forestr;
Bureau.
A FINE TESTIMONIAL.
The re-election of Judge Bunnell a President o
the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mine
by the unanimous vote of the Board of Regents wa
a fine testimonial to the odicinecy and ability ehowi
by that educator In organizing and conducting tha
institution. Tha motion th: t he be re-elected wa
rtiade and seconded by the iwo members who hai
voted against him in the first instance.
The obvious conclusion is that those who knov
: • lievo President Bunnell is making good as the heat
of the only school of higher education in Alaska jus
as he made good on llie Federal bench.
The Territory was very fortunate in securing thi:
eminent Alaskan to direct the laying of the founda
tions of its first college.
TIMELY WARNING.
Those who read the criticisms of Secretary Hughe
by Senutor Borah, Senator McCormick and others li
the Senate and which fill the press these days ar
given a timely warning by the Philadelphia Bulletin
which very pertinently says:
The problem of Europe does uot parallel
the problem of the Pacific, as It existed prior
to tho Washington Conference. Consequently
the solution may not follow the same
formula.
President Harding and his Administration
are as cognizant of American interest in the
^tor Borah, anil equally anxious to do what
ever can bo (lone to help. The State Depart
ment may be as ruined to have been in more
intimate touch with the situation than the
Senator; It may be credited with better judg
ment as to the extent to which any initiative
on the part of the United States Government
may go without being rebuked as unwar
ranted and uninvited inti i vent Ion.
Moreover, it may be assumed that the
State Department is particularly on its guard
lest tlie United States, either by its initiative
or in response to ruggosticn from the other
tide, shall become so far involved in the
question of reparations and kindred European
problems as to ft.-mile responsibility for the
fulfillment of whatever plan of solution shall
bo adopted.
While the ability and gcoil faitii of many of tin
Senatorial and editorial critics of the State Depart
ineiit must be admitted, it should be understood tha
the burden of proof is upon* them, for the Seeretar
of State is also a man of great ability and good faith
and ho is Just as patriotically American as are hi
critics. He bar in addition access ho informatiiu
that mi t or his critics have not, and the rosponsi
bility la upon him.
THE GREATER NEED.
The amount of money the Government gets fot
ft uni page cn itr timber anil other natural sources h
a matter of little importance when compared with tie.
gain that would follow development of the resources
Natural resources in the ownership of the Federal
Government retard rather than promote the public
welfare when unused. I nutilizod resources contribute
more to development when in private ownership than
when owned by the Government Private owners of
timber lands and other natural resources may. at
least, be compelled to pay taxes on their holdings.
Further than that, there is great waste when
natural resources are unused. It is estimated, lor
instance, by competent authority that Alaska could
pioduce half as much paper us the United States is
now using forever without diminishing the supply of
timber. Thnt meane that timber sufficient to supply
I millions of people is being wasted every year on ac
|| count of lack of pulp and paper making plants,
j There is another phase of the situation insofat
has it concern Alaska timber that ought to be given
j consideration. If the Washington and Oregon timber
•i men should win tlieir sparring match with the matiu
|facturers of pulp and paper and with those who art
seeking the development of the industry in this Ter
ritory it would result in vastly increased manufactur
ing costs, and that at a time when reduced cost 01
production i- tin crying need of trade. The countrj
| is far more interested in lower cost of paper that
it is in higher prices for timber ttutnpage.
IS) the way, the manner in which Southeastern
Alaska lumbermen are contracting for the manu
[ facturo and shipment of lumber to foreign port;
• knocks tin- props from under tho argument recently
made at Seattle by a prominent lumberman of th<
, South that logging operations are so costly in Mask;
■ that the lumbermen up here could not compete with
those of Washington and Oregon in furnishing puli
timber for pulp and paper mills.

Under the Channel.
> (Buffalo Express.)
Over in England they are talking again of tlu
, Channel tunnel. They have been talking about it as
leng as we in Buffalo have been talking of a new
' New York Central station or a vehicle bridge to Ft
Erie. Perhaps we are nearer to having one or both o:
J the things we want.
Arthur Conan Doyle, the novelist who talks t
, spirits, write: about the Channel tunnel. lie say:
that there is no hurry about building it new be
cause there is not going to be any great military
menace on the continent for many years to come, lit
brands as the supreme folly of England that the tun
[ nel was not built before the war. He says that its
. cost would not have exceeded more than the cosl
, of a week of the war, and that it would have been
of incalculable value in sending troops and supplii •
to France and bringing the wounded home safe from
submarine attack. Ho declares that its French mouth
could have been easily defended, and, that if the
worst had happened and the tunnel had been cap
tured, its loss would have been far from overwhelm
ing, as losses went in the recent war.
i The real value of any such project should be com
; mercial, but no one knows that another military
(I menace to England will not arise on the continent
j If that should happen the tunnel would prove of af
| much value as it would have been in the last war.

Chinese Ways.
(Baltimore Sun.)
A Chinese girl who lias been getting notoriety
because of her postponed marriage is a new feature
in American nows, and one is tempted to believe ttoal
7 she is a now phenomenon in the world. If there is
anything about the Chinese of which the ignorant
Westerner lias been firmly convinced, it is that they
act according to immutable custom. What their cus
j tom demands under any given circumstances is a mat
! ter for speculation. Bret Harte dodged the issue by
saying that the heathen Chinese is peculiar. ():
s course, ho is, if judged by Western standards; bu
, lie at least can assert that the Chinese have learnec
, how (o live together without reference to the outsidi
world. China is changing now and will soon, om
’ hears, be modernized, but until quite recently if wa
economically independent after the fashion which tin
jealous countries of Europe, and in certain respect:
America, have been trying to achieve, it did not nee!
a tariff. It simply refused to buy goods outside
But its customs are changing. The little girl whi
won’t marry is only a symptom of the diseases o
modernity which is afflicting It.
Improve Crab Canning Methods.
ii'. oi press uUlletln.)
Clear pain of $450,000 to the resources of th
I Slate of Washington has resulted from the discover;
of a new process of canning oralis, perfected at th'
l niverslty of Washington College of Fisheries, unde
direction of Dean John N. Cobh.
Eight canntnig plants, adopting this process wer
established during the year 1922, according to i
i-1 Port recently prepared by Dean Cobh, packing 15,
000 cases of crabs valued at about $450,000. Othe
Plants are projected for 1923. Dean Cobb estimate
the industry should produce from 50,000 to 100,00
cases of canned crabs a season.

lots of good water and also getj
libout four ounces ol' Jad Salts from ■
my good pharmacy; take a table-1
ipoonful in a glass of water before

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur
Hair that loses Its color and lus
tre, or when It fades, turns gray,
dull unil lifeless, is caused by a
lack of sulphur in the hair. Our
grandmother mails up a mixture of
Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her
locks dark and beautiful, and thou
sands of women and men who value
that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractive, use only this old-time rec
ipe.
Nowadays wo get this famous
mixture Improved by the addition of
other ingredients by asking at any
drug store for a bottle of ''Wyeth's
Sago and Sulphur Compound,”
which darkens the hair so naturally,
so evenly, that nobody can possibly
tell It has been applied t’ou just
dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one strand at a time. By
morning the gray hair disappears;
hut what delights the ladles with
Wyeth’s Sage nnd Sulphur Compound'
Is that, besides beautifully darken
ing the hair after a few applications,
It also brings back the gloss andj
lustre and gives It an appearance
of abundance.
