ALASKA KELP BEDS
RIVAL GOLD FIELDS
“ The gold mined in Alaska'
each year averages a total,
value of § 19.000,000," said
Prof. George R. Rigg. of the
botany department at the state
university, speaking to a sem
inar in political science, yes
terday afternoon.
“The annual kelp crop in
the Alaskan waters is worth
§16,000,000. This estimate
is a conservative one, as we
value potash as worth §75 per
ton, while it is sold here inj
Seattle today at §108.P.I.

HOW WILSON WIN8
It pays to stand for a prin
ciple, and to stand fast. Win
or lose, it pays to fight for the
right. President Woodrow
Wilson knows the value of get
ting on the right side and
'ticking to it. He dose not
count the cost of winning,
when a battle ought to be won.
He risks bis all. and trusts to
Providence for the rest. Be
lore he takes a stand he niusv
know that he is in the right.
This question settled, all the
powers of darkness could not
turn him aside. But first of
all. he must have the approval
of his judgment and his con
science. And acting upon this
principal, and upon this prin
ciple alone, he has won some
of the greatese victories ever
was his stubborn stand for
She right that made him pres
ident of Princeton collage, that
made him governor of New
Jersey, and that maria him
president of the United States.
Mid it was his persistence in
his fight for the people that
won the great tariff battle that
has just ended in a victory for
The President. Few presidents
have accomplished so much in
-o short a time, and few have
accomplished so much fti their
entire term. Statesmen the
world over are expressing as
tonishment at the achievments*
of President Wjlson, and are
wondering how it came about.
Twelve months ago a revision
af the tariff seemed as far
away as the moon. To the
people at lsi-ge, it had become
a dream that would probably
never come true, and still it
was charged that even if the
lemocratie part won, there
■otild be no tariff legislation.
To Woodrow Wilson, the
ariff plank in the democratic
platform was a pledge and a
promise that must be redeem
ed and carried out. This plank
was the promissory note of the
lemocratic party and must be
paid when due. That Presi
ient Wilson has paid this debt
n full, will not be denied. And
he whole American people are
applauding they love an hon
est and courageous public of
ficial, whatever the color of
his politics.—Ex.

COME NORTH BILL!
New York's disgrace is
complete! The country had
[hoped that she had reached the
point where she would rise in
her might, strangle the loath
some Tammany tig'cr and send
Boss Murphy and his kind in
to that oblivion they so richley
deserve. But. apparently it was
iu i to be. and, as an object
lesson to other men who might,
have the temerity to dare
think for themselves, Governor
Sulzer was sacrificed and Mar
tin II. Glynn, a man absolutely
safe as far as the machine of
the Empire State is concerned,
now holds the reins of govern
ment, listening no doubt to the
commands of the boss as to
which way he should drive.
The press dispatches telling
of the matter said that Gover
nor Sulzer was already plan
ning his next campaign and
would be a candidate for the
office of governor next year.
This paper in common wjth
Ihe people of this neighbor
hood and the country in gen
eral—for we all think Sulzer
was not given a square deal—
sympathises with Mr. Sulzer,
but we think he is making a
mistake in planning to run
again, rather do we think that
he should shake the dust of
New York from his feet and
come north. ,,He has interests
in Alaska, and as Congress
man from the 10th., district
long championed our cause on
the floor of the House. The
next national election is going
to go Democratic, and what
better than a Democrate repre
senteting Alaska?
Come north, Bill, become in
fast what you have long been
at heart, an Alaskan, and we’ll
put you in a position to work
for an Empire greater and
certainly more appreciative
than New York has been or can
be. We believe in you and
want you to become one of us,
the people of the north. „
PRINTING DONE AT HOME
Juneau Dispatch: Thousands
of dollars annually are sent
out of Alaska in payment for
printing which ought to be
done at home. While the
amount now sent out of the
Territory in this way is un
doubtedly as large as it
was a few years ago, thanks to
the home industry agitation, it
is still many times greater than
it should be.
A conservative estimate is
that there are at least fifty
traveling salesmen who make
this Territory selling printing.
Much of the work they do is
special form, of which they
make a specialty and which,
they represent to the purchas
er, can't be done at home. In
reality there is not a bit of
this printing that cannot be
purchased of the home print
er or the home stationer. And,
in many instancses, the price
of the traveling salesman will
be met.
Labor is the big item in
printing—it is always fi/e or
six times the cost of paper,
ink, machinery, etc. Conse
quently, when a merchant buys
his printing at home, most of
the money he spends is kept
where hs gets a chance to get
it back. But when he buys
printing away from home the
money goes where some other
merchant receives it in pay
ment of the necessities of life.
If the price of the local man is
a little higher, it. is a wise
merchant who pays (lie dif
ference and keeps the money
at home in preference to send
ing it away.
The profit of the printing
game is not much in the news
paper as in the job department.
The greater the business in the
latter the better the papei
is bound to be. The news
paper spends more time and
money boosting the business
of the local merchants, the
j boozhall, tJie local banker,
than any other institution, and
it would seem that in order to
ffive fair treatment to the
printer the local business man
should have his printing done
at home.
JACK DALTON WILL
TRANSPORT THE COAL
Jack Dalton, of Cordova, has
been secured to oversee the
transportation of*the coal be
ing mined by the government
in the Matanuska fields to the
coast.
Jack Dalton is not only
known as the “Pathfinder” but
he is known as one of the best
old-time freighters on Alaskan
trails. lie operated pack
trains and teams on the Dalton
trail leading from Haines, and
transported most of the sup
plies into the Porcupine sect
ion after the discovery of gold
in 1809. The engineers in
charge of the government
work feel that they have been
fortunate in securing his ser
vices. The frieght will be
transported from the mine at
Matanuska to the coast during
the coming winter and will be
ready for the use of the gov
ernment in the early spring.
