UNLOCKING ALASKA.
Among the most urge ill of na
tional projects is the early de
termination of a dclinile policy
for the development of Alaska.
To realize the territorial exlent
of Alaska one needs ImL In im
agine thal vast territory, rich in
resources, superimposed upon
the map of the United State's with
its eastern edge resting against
the western shore of Lake Mich
igan and the western houndary
of Indiana. • Alaska would then
extend westward well into the
stale of Colorado. Southeastern
Alaska would extend as far as the
Atlantic shore in (ieorgia, while
that portion of it known its the
Aleutian peninsula would reach
the shore of I lie • Parilie in Cali
fornia.
Alaska is one liflh I In* area nf
Die t'niteil Stales and Iwelve
times tlie area ol’ the slate of New
York. Ils gold oiit|nd alone was
$17,398,913 in I OIL'. On an or
iginal inve'sl menl of 87,-(H).(100
we have already gleaned from an
undeveloped Alaska $170,000,000
and mure.
Alaska awaits a consistent
plan of systematic development,
not for the few. hot for the hen
etif of the people of Alaska and j
the nation. To rest with nothing j
accomplished save the blocking j
of tin* designs of the (itiggen
heiins is grossly nnslalesman
like. The Democralic adminis
tral.ion cannot ^creditaiily .shirk
this re sponsihilily. The prompt |
unlocking of Alaska is neces
sary and urgent_l.os Angeles
Express.
THE WISDOM OF MARSHALL.
W'liaI is really needed is that
the American business man
should slop expecting Congress
Lo open his store every morning
and close it every evening for
him.--Nice President Marshall in
an interview reported yesterday.
There need he no trouble about
that. The American hu vines*
man is entirely willing to open
his store ill the morning without
the aid of Congress. Ifis trouble's
in recent years have arisen chief
ly from the fear that all bough
he might open bis door, take
down the shutters, and display
the goods .in the morning. Con
gress would come along before
night and close the shop.—New
York Times. :

NATIVES HAVE GOOD
FISHING SEASON
rile natives of Southeastern
Alaska have had a prosperous
year fishing and working in the
canneries, according to W.„ T.
Lapp, in charge of the Alaska
division of the U. S. Bureau of
Education, who recently ' return
ed Id Seattle from a trip north.
During the mild curing season
on the west coast of Prince of
Wales island many cleaned up
$10 Oand $500. One native clear
ed $100, while li\s wife worked
in the cannery for $1.50 a day
and his son for 75 eeiits, which
netted this family a neat sum at
the end of the season. One can
nery did not employ them because
they went on a strike last eyar,
but the natives have found work
elsewhere.

Wealthy Paper Manufacturer
Has IUovel Burial on the
Maine Coast.
A story which for novel fea
tures has few parallels, is told
■|iy the crew of file schooner yacht
Lydia, scuttled about ten miles off
Ihe poll of Portland, Me., late in
August, with the cremated body
of her owner, James Freeman
Hush, a 'Wealthy paper manufac
turer, resting on a table in the
cabin. The sending of the hand
some craft to her linal anchor
age with Ihe asheA of Mr. Bush
aboard was the result of a dying
reipiest made by him to his wife
in a hospital in Portland, where
he had ocen operated on, and
where he died August :ii.
According to the story told by
the members of the crew, and not
denied by Mrs. Bush, the Lydia,
aboard which Mr. Bush had spent
a great deal of time in late years,
left Portland late in August with
all sail set and towing a motor
hoar. Mrs. Bush was aboard. So
were two close friends of Mr.
Bush.
On a fable in the cabin lay l-he
ashes of Ihe owner. Bapl. Frank
M. Sholliehl. of Bundy's Harbor,
who had sailed Ihe vessel for Mr.
Hush, was al the wheel. About
ten miles oil' the port Ihe vessel
was headed into me wind, the
persons aboard were placed on
the motor boat, and willi an axe
a hole was cut in I lie eraII. Slow
ly she tilled and sank to her
grave.
The Lydia was built in 1880 al
Brooklyn, X. V
The story of the yacht's end
was guarded closely by Ihe wid
ow and Ihe few friends who knew
the wish of the dying man. X'ol
until Mrs. Bush went to the Port
land Yacht Blub to gel pari of her
husband's effects was Ihe lale of
Ihe scuttling of the vessel dis
closed.
A GOOD SAMARITAN
ON THE YUKON
Dr. l>. I). Cairnes, of I lie Do
niiniuii Geological Survey, is a
i|ui< I man in his way Iml he poss
esses llial most no hie a 11 rilm I e of
man. Ihe milk of human kindness,
as was evidenced hy him while
reluming from his lale I rip h
Ihe Chisana.
On Ihe way down Ihe While
river Or. Cairnes and party
came lo a cabin near I lie innulh
of Ihe Ilon.jek river where Tom
Clair, Ihe well known ipiarlz min
er from lliis place, was alone,
suffering from a badly injured
eve, (lie result of a dynamite cap
explosion. Clair had been left
in the cabin by his associates
while they went to the new strike.
Although he had plenty of pro
visions in the cabin, lie was in
very had condition fi.. his
wounded e\e. Ihe injury to which
was threatening the oilier eye.
Sizing up the situation Dr.
Cairnes bundled Tom olf with him
to Dawson where he had the in
jured eye examined. If Ihe sight
of either was lo be preserved, it
was imperative that Clair be got
ten to a specialist without delay,
and as Cairnes was then on bis
>vay to Ihe coast to fnee'l the1
louring geologists who visited
Yukon later, he took Clair with
him lo Vancouver where he placed
him in charge of a specialist.
While no word has been receiv
ed of the success of the treat
ment., Dr. D. D. Cairnes will ever
be remembered by Clair's friends
as the Good Samaritan of Yukon.
