You cannot get a good weather and
waterproof roof for your building
• from a poor roofing.
The roof of your building is the
most important part of it and _ ---
unless your roofing is right, there will
be no peace of mind for free
those who live under it.
!»nif
A roof that leaks causes no end of
trouble, besides a lot of carnage. intiK. :a
The best way to protect yourself from ho^T''
these unnecessary roubles, is to ru3
use Malthoid Roofing. 'S’EZZT

where it is used or
under what conditions.
The makers of Malthoid Roofing
guarantee it to be a perfect roofing—

DEVELOP ALASKA
One of the recent visitors to
Southeastern Alaska was F.
Dickinson. receiver of the Kan
sas City, Mexico k Oriental
Railroad, formerly manager of
the Union Pacific and well
Known in railroad circles all
over the United Slates, lie was
accompanied by hO <on, Al.
II. Dickinson, and William Lee
Karnes, a former army officer,
row connected in a managerial
department with the Kansas
City. Mexico e: Oriental Rail
road. Mr. Dickinson is a
brother of the lale George •
Iickinson. of SealHe. who wa<
>n? of the projectors and build
ms of the Alaska Central rail
way that runs from Seward.
On his return to Seattle he
save the following expression
to h;s views of ilm northland
md the adverse conditions un
der which the people labor:
“The easiest way for Pres
cient Wilson to develop Alas
ka to thre-w the resources of
the country open So the settle
c~>. and then induce about
eight or ten strong financial
fsrms to go in there and build
railroads. If the amount of
- ?a« and other mineral that is
sa d to be there by the govern
ment geologists really exists,
fmanciers of the United States
wilt build railroads just as fast
* they are needed without
government assistance. What
Vlaska needs is development of
- resources and the financial
-.-stare of several Grms
al nt the size of the Morgan
•*- ;ggenheims.
“There i< a general feeling
of dis> ontent in Alaska. If
there is any thing in th® ter
ritory besides its most magnif
: ?nt scenery, the government
rhou.d make it available to th®
people who are living there.
A cording to my information,
people are leaving the territory
it -lead of going into it. The
government should open up
'he country, so that they m?\
-lay there and make thei
homes.
“One of the distressing fea
res of the trip was to see the
-h'p on which I traveled haul -
:ng 2>M> tons of coal for use in
jeilroad shops in Alaska. th?t
ire situated within 50 mile of
coal field and the most e\
•. aordioary ihing w*:s to see
the locomotives on this rail
n ad burning oil brought from
(. iifornia. This was carrying
coals to Newcastle with a ven
geance.
“1 have been credibly inform
e 1 that the coal measures of
Alaska cover an area of 21.000.
n*‘0 acre-, and of this amount
'!»tut 32.000 a-:res were -tak
11 I -hould think it a good
'ning if the government were
40 give somebody about 50.000
ceres, so that it could be min
'1 and used in the country. If
the Guggenheims. for insian
- e. were given 20,000 or 30,
M-C: acre- of coal land, there
wail'd be no great harm in it.
> j it would tend to develop
'.he country. At any rate, it
would be a means of reducing
the cost of operation of their
ra iroad and result in a reduc
tion of freight costs to ih®
miners.
* There are some big prop
o-ilions in Alaska, especially
around Juneau. On one of
'bese properties more than *5
»»»U.OOO is being expended in
development work. It takes
,*ig capital to develop these
propositions, and the country,
* a large extent, cannot be de
vdoped without the a-sistance
•> big capiiaL Capital should
] be encouraged to go into th;
! territory jn-tead of being driv
en out of it.”
