NOME, ALASKA, MAY 21, 1917.
To picture yourself in the position
that you most desire to occupy, to see
yourself in the kind of house in which
you most wish to Jive, wearing the
apparel that you would like to wear
and associating with the persons with
whom you would most like to asso
cciate, is one of the best ways of
planting the seed from which the de
sired harvest may be realized. The
clearer—the most distinct—you can
make these picures ai>pear to you,
the more inspiration you will derive
from them, the greater the chance of
realizing the ambitions which they
portray.
When the plan has been once de
veloped, however, the next thing is
to put it into execution and it is here
that the idle-drcamer fails. To con
struct a house, the preliminary step
is to secure an architect's plans, yet
the plans alone are of little value un
less you have a builder to see that
they are carried out. It is the latter
who must attend to the details and
make the structure a habitable one.
In constructing a career—in build
ing the structure men term “success”
the same law applies. In fact, the
“planning" is the easiest part, and
will mean but little if we do not suc
ceed in visualizing so clearly, or
painting our mental pictures so en
ticelngly, that we become embued
with a strong desire to make them a
reality.
It Is no weak, half-hearted deter
mination that will produce this result
The desire that rouses the will to ac
tion that we denote as 'invitative"
must be so ardent, so keen, so deter
mined as to be practically irresistible,
It is when desire has bred this deter
mination in the heart, that the ordi
nary obsaclcs of life become but triv
iality, and we plough our way to suc
cess, regardless of such factors as op
posing circumstances and adverse en
vironment.
Ask any man who has made a suc
cess as to what principle he owes hif

! advancement and, in nine cases out
! of ten, he will tell you that his rise
from the ranks of the wage-earner
was due to the fact that he not only
i mastered all the details of his busi
ness, but that he also showed his em
ployer that he could be depended upon

ESSENTIAL TO LABOR PEACE.
___
| All schemes of arbitration assume
i that labor can be pacified If its de
: mauds are rationalised and kept with
in the bounds of the "fix and reason
I
able.” They assume that all employ
ers are entirely capable of meeting
those fair and reasonble demands
once they are clearly defined. They
take no sufficient account of the fact
that the average employer is arnau
I w ith very limited mastery of the
| science of business management, and
that his unaided capacity for meeting
the reasonable demands of labor Is
• surprisingly slight.
1 It Is absurd to assume that the cm
i ployers pay low wages because they
are heartlessly greedy for profits
Most of them would gladly pay living
i wages If they knew how. But the
, average garment manufacturer, like
the average employer in our "princi
pal American Industries” does not
know how; he is ignorant of the
science of business management, in
competent, inefficient. And yet he is
j too jeaous of his status as a private
business man to want to be helped
from outside.
I In the matter of the labor problem
we are passing through the same ex
, perience through w hich we passed in ,
'• the matter of the regulation of sani- j
. tary conditions and fire hazards and
! the prevention of industrial injuries
, In our factories * • • It is now the
rule for state industrial commissions
to employ experts to show manufac
: turers how to make their factories
( safe. If the state is to compel the
| workers to submit to arbitration it i
will have to extend its control to the !
i business methods of employers.
Arbitration as it is practiced is one
; sided; it aims at the pacification of
labor without providing for the im
j provement in business technique
without which the reasonable demands
of labor cannot be satisfied. If the
public wants industrial peace it must
impose upon employers minimum
standards of business efficiency as it
has already imposed upon them mini
mum standards of safety and sanita
tion.
ALASKA’S POPULATION.
_
Alaska newspapers generally note ,t j
marked growth In the territorial pop
ulation during the past two years. I
The district about (Instineau channel,
whih includes Juneau and Douglas
and plants of the great mining com
panies, is the most populous voting
district, according to its area, in the
territory. Juneau, in the last elec
tion, is stated to have cast as many
votes as Valdez, Cordova and Seward
combined.
The total vote cast at the last elec
tion in the four districts of Alaska
was more than 11,000, an increase of
40 per cent since' the proceeding elec
tion.
Estimates now credit the territory
with a white population of not less
than 70,000. The current year should
add perhaps 10,000 to the permanent
population. Through the additional
workmen to he employed In the mines,
coal, gold, coper and the homestead
ers and business men who will be
attracted by the railroad building and
the opening of the wilderness to cul
tivation and settlement.
Alaska has got over the "hump" and
from now on Its progress in every
way should be rapid.—P.-I.
FUR FARMING.
A splendid opportunity is offered
men w'lth a little money to invest to
make a stake in fur farming. Good
foxes for breeding purposes cost $200
per pair and from five to ten pairs
are sufficient to start a man In busi
ness. There are any number of isl
ands on l’rince William Sound which
can be rented for a nominal sum from
the government These Islands are
heavily' timbered, with good water and
plenty of sandy beaches for the foxes
to get their food from, and living
would be both cheap and convenient
for the fur farmer, as the waters
teem with halibut, cod and other food
fishes. For the man who is weary of
town life there is no surer or more
pleasant occnpatlon than fur farming.
The animals practically take care of
themselves, and require but little at
tention. save at the breeding season.
Several men 'in this vicinity are con
ducting such farms, and they are long
past the experimental stage., With the
probable exception of clothing, the
investors expenses would be practical
ly nothing while his crop was grow
ing, as geese, ducks, and fish abound
in the waters, and many varieties of
game In the hills. A man should have
enough capital to purchase a few
pairs of foxes, erect and furnish a
house, and buy a seaworthy boat,
which \rtth a very few supplies would
be all that Is necessary.—Valdez Min
