paper Progress
Filling a need that has been
growing very acute the last few
years as more and more activity,
pioneering and settling have
pushed Alaska to the forefront of
business frontiers, eight Alaskan
newspapers have banded togeth
er in the “Alaska Newspapers,”
an association with offices in Seat
tie to handle cooperatively th?
foreign advertising that is follow
ing Uncle Sam’s dollars to the
Northland.
Better service, scientific distri
bution, and properly survey med
ia are what the national advertis
ers will get. Mors business, a
healthier accounting situation
and many new' contacts are what
the Alaska newspapers will get— j
and Alaska as a whole should
benefit from the arrangement in
that it will result in bigger and
better newspap:rs, improved
news service and the introduc
tion of many new' products.

Goodbye To
Isolation of Alaska
< V — - ..
Speediest delivery yet of mails
from heart of the continent to
the heart of Alaska was that de
liv red here by the Douglas DC3 j
last evening.
Leaving Seattle yesterday mor
ning, mail was landed here at!
7:10 p.m. and a little later was
in the hands of numerous recip-1
ients.
Included in the lot were lett r
I
that left Los Angeles and San j
Francisco the day before — also
Associated Press “Telemats,"
photographs transmitted by radio
and wire from European and Am
erican metropolitan cent rs and
transformed into “mats" to be
converted into metallic “cuts"
which appear in this issue of the
News-Miner. One shows the act
ual signing of the Yugoslav-Axis
pact in Vienna Tuesday. The pic
lure was radioed from B rlin to
New York, sent by wire to San
Francisco, rushed here by plane.
Letters that left New York,
Washington and Chicago Monday
came on the plane.
A little later, wh'n closer trans
eontin ntal airline connections
are arranged, eastern as well as
west coast mails will come thru
almost if not within 48 hours. Ex
press and passengers will make
the same speed—a long stride for
ward making Fairbanks the next
door neighbor of ev.ry continent
al center and forever redeeming
Alaska from her age-old isolation

Ten Dredges
To Work In
^ ukon In ’41
DAWSON — All signs indicate
that the Yukon is in for one of
its busiest and most productive
years in 1941.
According to Warren H. S. Mc
Farland. General Manager of the'
Yukon Consolidated, that com
pany expects to recover about;
two and a half million dollars in |
gold this season. Ten dredges j
will be in operation with a pakj
payroll of 800 men.
Regarding a possible shortage1
of labor in the Yukon, especially
in the Dawson district, this sea
son, Mr. MacFarland stated re
cently that this would depend on
how many men have, gone into
the armed forc-s since last sea
son. .
It is a well known fact that
since recruiting got under way
last fall, a large number of for-;
mer company employees, both
in Dawson and Mayo camps; also
in Whitehorse, have given up
their jobs to join the colors and
do their part in Canada’s great
war effort.
In practically every gold area1
in the Yukon placer mining will
be booming this season.
Nothing positive is yet known ;
publicly regarding the silver op- j
erations in the Mayo camp but it
is generally believed that opera
tions will be carried on this sum
mer maybe on a smaller scale
than usual.
Add to the mining program the ;
large amount of work to be done j
on government airports in the
Territory as defense projects and
it will be a busy summer. Anoth
er banner tourist year is antici
pated. It looks like a busy season
ahead for the Yukon territory.
Finns Careful

HELSINKI (yPt— An American
in a Finnish restaurant might,
think that snuff-boxes had made I
a comeback, seeing how every |
other person pulls a container
out of pocket or handbag. Actual
ly, what he sees are pill-boxes,
vials, match-boxes, test tubes, j
candy boxes, typewriter ribbon 1
cases, all kinds of odds and ends;
us d for carrying around a bit!
: of sugar and butter.
These precious food items are
strictly rationed and Finns like,
to have some handy wherever
I they go. In restaurants, a sprin :
kling of butter in that dish mak
I es the fool tastier. On visits it
is good manners not to horn in
I on your hosts’ limited supply.
Manufacturers have seized on
the opportunity. As soon as ra
! tioning came into force, various
j receptacles, of many shapes, siz
J es, colors and designs began to
;appear on the market—.advertis
ed as specially prepared for pock
j stores of sugar and butter.
