filed on the Democratic ticket
against Delegate E. L. Bartlett.
Ray Beach, of Juneau, secretary
of the Republican Central Com
mittee, filed on his party’s ticket.

Anchorage just before the dead
line that she had wired her Re
publican filing in Juneau. She
withdrew her filing for reelection
to the House of Representatives.

Trade More With Alaska,
Rasmussen Urges
Portland Business Leaders
PORTLAND, dP>—Elmer Ras
mussen, Anchorage banker and
regent of the University of Alaska,
urged Portland business leaders
Monday to devote more attention
to trade with the territory.
Speaking at the second Alaska
Day luncheon at the Portland
Chamber of Commerce, Rasmus
son also urged immediate state
hood for Alaska.
“The future of western Alaska j
along the R il Bolt from Anchor
age to Fairbanks lies in hydro
elect: ic power," Rasmussen de
clared. “The Defense Department
says it needs nine million kilo
watts of power to develop its su
personic weapons. Alaska is the
only place that has it.”
An all-Alaska menu, including
reindeer roast, king crab and Mat
anuska Valley vegetables were
served.

Mineral and Power
Potential of North

oil in the north country.
“The purchasing power of any
dollar may decline,” he said, but
the value of horsepower energy
should increase year by year.
Canadians should value all such
assets realistically.”
The days of the dogsled and the
individual miner are gone.
“Modern methods of transporta
tion and the realization of vast
undeveloped mineral resources,
as well as the ever-present threat
of aggression from without, place
Whitehorse and territory in a
most strategic and favorable po
sition,” he said.
“Valuable minerals required in
this jet age are yielding to new
methods of recovery. The north
country is rich in many such
items.”
Borrie said both Frobisher Ltd.
and the Aluminum Co. of Ameri
ca had shown interest in north
ern water power potentials.
“Canadians take a dim view of
exporting, in its raw state, any
natural resources unless there is
some conpensating long term ad
vantage.
“Control of the water power of
the Yukon rests with Ottawa . . .
In spite of our willingness to co
operate in every way -with our
great neighbor to the south, we
are on sound ground when we
go slowly in ‘making deals’ which
could me«n your birthright being
sold for the proverbial mess of
pottage.”
“Geographic difficulties, compli
cated by the Alaska Panhandle, !
present problems for a carefully
worked out problem on a long
term basis,” he said.
Book of Poems
Published By
Harold Salisbury
NEW YORK—“The Wrong End
of the Horse,” a collection of hu
morous poems and vigorous car
toons toy Nome, Alaska, choir
singer Harold Salisbury, makes its
unorthodox appearance in book
stores this week, following its
publication on January 12 by
Exposition Press Inc., New York.
(Price: $3.00.)
“I write for Mr. Citizen and for
the six worldly days of the week,”
says Mr. Salisbury with a twinkle
in his eye. And he might have
added that he writes in the best
tradition of Robert W. Service
and with more than a touch of the
wit of the late Samuel Hofenstein.
Loud, bold, raffish and rollick
ing, Mr. Salisbury celebrates the
perils and wonders of the Yukon
as Service never did, and then
goes on to celebrate even greater
wonders in the tropics, in great
cities, in Switzerland, everywhere.
The town of Warsaw, New York,
was Harold Salisbury’s birthplace.
The year: 1887. He attended grade
school there and in Buffalo, grad
uating from high school in Mon
rovia, California.
He studied at Stanford, the Cos
grove Art School of Los Angeles,
later took teacher training courses
in Pasedena and Glendale. He
studied singing with private
teachers for ten years, afterward
making several concert tours.
In 1925 he set up shop as a
commercial artist with studios,
variously, in Los Angeles, Holly
wood, Pasadena, San Francisco,
Juneau, Alaska, and now Nome,
his present residence.
Parrots, ostriches, eagles and
vultures may live as much as 60 ^
years. 1

L the palm tree that’s
| waiting for you
I
' Somewhere in this land—or in this world
—your palm tree stands on a warm patch
of sand, waiting for you to arrive. A wist
ful dream for others, maybe. But for you,
reality. And this is why...
The secret is the famous Payroll Savings
Plan of investment in interest-earning
U. S. Savings Bonds. Eight million work
ing people today are saving successfully for all
kinds of dreams-come-true on this sure plan.
Here's all you do. Go to your company's
pay office today and sign a Plan applica
tion. You say how much you want to
save each payday (it can be as little as
a coup!? of dollars!). After that, the sum
is saved for you automatically before you
draw your pay. Every time enough has
been accumulated it is invested in a
Series E U. S. Savings Bond, in your
name, and the Bond is delivered to you.
Then your savings grow even greater.
Because these Bonds can pay an average
3% interest, compounded semiannually,
for as long as 19 years and 8 months!
Finding your palm...building your
home—whatever your goal may be, it’s
within your grasp! Just start saving for
it today — through the Payroll Savings
Plan where you work.
The U. S. Government does not pay for this advertising. The Treasury Department thanks,
for their patriotic donation, the Advertising Council and
Saving is so simple—when you
invest in U. S. Savings Bonds on the Payroll Savings Plan
