HERE IS WHERE GENEROSITY SHOULD COME
Here is where generosity on tbe peart of oar gov
ernment should come in.
Sowe time ago. a government official found cut
that hs duty called him away from, his safe anchorage,
a: Wrangell, and m company with two other men
whom he hired, set cat to perform that duty. Two
weeks, three weeks and four weeks have elapsed still
so official nor Ms helpers have ret turned, when as *s
matter of f«S they sfc«dd not hare teen rene more
man fire or m days at the most. Parties hare organ
ized and hare been in the field ever since looking for .
the unfortunate*. Ail this cess money; and that is j
where the governments generosity should show itself.
It has cos; every searching party a considerable
stun for Sabor, fuel etc., yet who is to neuknt them ?
That is the question that demands an answer. Sym- ,
pathy or human feeling for the men was the incen
tive that coaid not be resisted and men wets; on their
errand for humanity's sake, which is aii very well, but
it does not pay the bid. The lest ones were ci livens
of the country, and consequently mast have contrib
uted their share :u the support of the government.
Erven that st would seem fair shat the government
should make up whatever the searchers have spent, if
nothing more. If a soldier is killed fighting for his
country, a* a genera: rule his family :s provider for.
The official who is supposed to be lost, had gone to
perform a duty, and along the line of duty imposed
on him by the government, the services of help was
required. Are those men’s family to suffer on ac
count or their death when they were in the employ
of tie government? It dees not seem fair.
Since the above was written, the report came !n that
*^e .*?. searching party .saving here for the scene.
,.ad lost their boat and everything it contained, and
barely escaped with their lives. This is another case
where a generous and fatherly government would be
-pprecialed. But will it answer to the cal! of
-airness . Hardly, because our government is gen
tjcsih iji stn>i.> and AieLsfca «ii>d A!a>kaas happen
to be out of the cock in jvhkh generosity makes it*

We hear more or ess about the vast extent of

Here is what Alaska shows at its exhibit in San
rrasctsco: Gold production, as we know, in terms
• of fabulous wea.th: copper ores that denote the rschest
1 fields yet ffidseovered and from a region far more ex
. tensive than toe combined copper workings within the

from the Bering river region and lignite from Cook

-s and, cil from Katal-a and a group of lesser minerals
j in the form of antimony, gypsum, graphite and others
that only await the hand of enterprise to be of abun

When we take business note of all these Alaska
: resources, and consider that just now is the beginning

bring Alaska rec*:<rr.:t; on as a vast and serviceable
| treasure house, we should consider how we propose to

How far are the business interests of Portland en

It looks as if tils was another situation in which we
