Several |>ersnns have recently
hecn visiting this portion of Alaska,
looking for farming and stock land,
with a view of settling «i>on the
heat tracts of it large colonies of
Russian Fins and other foreigners.
This whole scheme is a money
making proposition by a corpora
tion of Eastern capitalists, carried
oti solely for profit by a concern
that lias its headquarters in New
York.
While this company, in many in
stance-. betters the condition of the
people whom they colonize in dif
ferent parts of the new world, and
while we know that they would
better tliecondition of those whom
they would Wring here by settling
them upon the fertile lands of
Cool, inlet and the Copjier river
valley, where they could have com
fortable homes and good farms,
yet they do not bring them to this
country for the love of the people,
or the good they may do the coun
try upon which they settle them,
but merely for the money they
can make out of the proposition.
therefore they do not cure what
class of people they bring. The
niiiu who has the money to put up
for his passage and the other ex
penses is brought and established
in a free country.
This corporation has a large cap
ital, and if the land laws are not
extended to Alaska very soon so
that the public may he able to take
up homesteads, this corporation
will script large tracts of the best
land.
This whole scheme is wrong and
•ill injustice and should la-stopped.
I i; noi rlgh* that a colony of for
• --j*11• •1 - i.;n s- ! 1:11 hv a ri<-h rui
poi'a .oh, should in- ailowed to t ome
into this eouinry and take up the
choicest and most fertile sections of
our land.
For a number of years prospec
tors and miners have been in Al
aska. exploring and developing the
country and opening it up for set
tlement. They have planned to
take up this land and to settle
their friends on it as soon as the
land laws are extended to Alaska.
Most of them are not aide to script
the land. And now just at the
time when we have some reason to
b*. eve that the land laws will he
extended to the district, it is pro
posed to bring in a swarm of for
eign people to reap the benefit oi
tile work of the American citizens
who have opened up the country.
There are hundreds and thousands
of American citizens who will he
glad to settle on the fertile lands
of Alaska, just as sikui as the land
is thrown open to settlement.

The Puosi'KiTon sent to Seattle,
by Mayor Steele, a choice collec
tion of home grown vegetables,
grains and grasses. They will la*
placed on exhibition at the Cham
ber of Commerce rooms in Seattle,
for the purpose of showing the pub
lic that Alaska can raise as line
grain and vegetables as can la*
grown in any of the northern states.
In the exhibit were .specimens of
oats and barley, which sprung up
voluntarily, herein town, and were
fully matured. There were also
turnips, radishes, jana.(a?s ami par
snips, raised here and on K.utena,
gnd speciim ns of r«*d top, fully
MO ell feet high. Any one ru.s.ng
any particularly fine vegetables, or
grain run have them put on exhi
bition in Seattle, by bringing the
| specimens to this office. We will
' pay the freight, for the sake of the
good advertising such exhibits give
this country.

On September 12th there left
Portland a solid train load of sal
mon for Chicago. There were 35
j loaded ears, each car carrying 500
leases of salmon, and each case
weighing 70 pounds. Tims each
I ear will carry 35,000 pounds of sal
mon. and tlie entire trainioad will
be 1.225.000 pounds. Half of this
: iisli is from Alaska, and does not
; by any means exhaust the supply,
las it was expected tlint another
( train load of the same size would be
started a week later. Some idea
I of the greatness of the Alaska sal
mon industry may Is1 gained from
the iilmve. This will be a great in
dustry in Alaska for years to come
if the salmon are only protected by
stringent laws.

So much complaint is being made
about dumping garbage into tbc
i creek which runs through town,
that the council is contemplating
I diverting the stream from its pres
ent channel where it crosses Broad
way and running it through a cul
vert down that street to tide water.
This creek if properly cared for
would lie of much ln-nctit to the
property owners through whose
property it runs, hut as ft js non
filled up xvi111 garbage of all kinds,
will breed sickness and disease.
The council will do well if they
carry out their intention.
An ol^ervaui i*tai*on remarks
that "the public likes as well lo
read interesting matter in the adver
tising columns as in the news col
umns. There is nothing surprising
about this, since the fuels which are
advertised have a direct personal
interest to the public. The adver
tiser offers to the people only such
[ things as the people need and about
, the character and prices of which
they want information. A persist
i cut advertiser is Uiund to win the
attention of all newspaper readers.
Who says the 1‘kosi‘kctok is not
a good advertising medium? A
good example is found in the ease
of Win. (del in can. He put an ail
in this paper for the Dawson bar
j lier shop a short time ago, and says
that since that time bus.ness kept
i increasing at such a rate that lie
was forced to close up the shop to
keep from being worked to death.
Joint R Richards lias been appoin
; te*l Deputy U. S. Marshal at Una
laska by U. S. Marshal Perry. Mr.
Richards was an appointee of Mar
shal Sh iup, of the First Division
and itas given such satisfaction that
Marshal Perry has continued him
in oifi.c. * .
