AN ALASKAN POLICY.
There is a tragic undertime in
I,he annual repurl of (inveninr
Walter E. Clark of Alaska, which
has just been presented in \\ ash
ingtnn. He calls attention to a de
crease in the while population of
the province, and this lie ascribes
to diminished activity in placer
mining in the interior valleys and
to inadequate land laws, to pub
lic calumnies about Alaska which
have kept capital without ils ln»r-.
tiers, and to Ihe failure of con
gress to lend necessary means of
encouragement to the develop
ment of a virgin region. lie re
grets the lack of railroad con
struction and cheap native fuel.
We are reminded of Ihe recon
struction period after Ihe civil
war, when the radical Washing
ton government obstructed the
normal recovery of the South from
the desolation of war. II permit
ted the North to prey upon the
South. Though the conditions are
dissimilar, there is, nevertheless,
in the Alaskan situation a sug
gestion of governmental negli
gence. It would be perfectly nat
ural to permit the people of Alas
ka to develop their resources and
promote their interests as other
pioneer sections have tjone. But
when a policy of restriction is
used, it is essential that the gov
erning powers shall compensate
for that which it takes away.
When the state imprisons a man,
it is bound to feed him. The com
missariat is a necessary adjunct
of an army.
m tne name oi consorvaihhiisin,
Hie governmenl lias interfered
■with the entrance of capital in-j
to the new country. Pursuant to!
this policy, it has repeatedly inti
mated a willingness to construct
national railroads in Alaska. But
the government has been loo slow
in adopting a complete Alaskan
policy. This is what (iovernor
Clark clearly has in mind. If the
retiring administration passes the
question on to its successor, and
the next congress devotes its time
to a revision of the tariff sched
ules, it may be eighteen months
before anything comes of the var
ious proposals that have been
made. There is the rub.

Democrats at Washington are

Col. Millard has discovered lhal
there are knockers in Seattle. He
had no need to go that far to

With the abolishment of the

move to Seattle or take up their
residence at Kllemar.
A former chief of the Chicago
police department has been de

The suffragettes of England

Can it be that the present ad

Annapcdis middies have been

It i - a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few time9 with your meals and you’ll find we’re right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez, should patroniz home products.
