A TIME TO BOOST—NOT KNOCK
Alaska newspapers could do i.u
better than pull together for lie
development of all Alaska. Tin*
would include the development i f
their respective constituencies,
and in the advancement that
would follow along material lines
great progress would soon lie no
led in the perimincnt upbuilding
of the territory, it is mudi eas
ier to tear down than to build op.
lul there is inlinitely more pleas,
me--and profit—in luii'oing up
I hail tearing down.
There is no eommunilv, no
section, that would not like lo lie
prosperous, and prosperity is on
ly by work.
There can be no doubt about
Alaska's future. Its great nat
ural resources are going t.o be
developed, because tile rest ol the
world wants what Alaska lias in
great abundance.
Kail roans win wo nuni 10
cn, lo development Hu- great in
terior country and unite it with
the coast. So will wagon roads
and trails lie built to aid still
further in I he, work of develop
ment.
Alaska's agricultural possibil
ities arc no myth. They are just
beginning lo he known in part
and appreciated in part, and,
given population to consume the
products of the 'soil farm de
velopment will proceed apace.
Alaska's lumber industry is in
creasing and soon many pulp
mills will be making use ol tim
ber that is now going to waste.
Our water power is a valuable
asset and il promises In be a
mighty means toward the imlus-j
trial development of I lie eounlry. j
Alaska's fisheries are capable .
of indefinite expansion, and soon!
they will lead I lie world.
Our coal lands will be opened
and Alaska is destined In supply
lln1 whole Pacific coast aml^he
tributary stales with the product
of its coal mincs--coal and coke, i
and the production of the latter
article will greatly stimulate the
mining industry, 'especially in
Southeastern and Southwesllrn
Alaska
These are hut a few of the
man points that could lie shown
illustrating the great industrial
development that will soon spread
all over the territory.
This is im time for the nurs
ing of morbidity nr the cultiva
tion of the grouch. II is a lime
for action—a time for gelling
ready to give the wheels of pro
gress and prosperity a good,
strong boost.•■-Ex.
PASSING OF THE AGRICULTUR
AL SURPLUS.
The wheat crop of I lie I'niled
Stales for the present year is the
largest, ever raised, amounting to
703.000. 00(1 husheis, as compared
with 7 is,000,000 bushels in 1001.
the largest, preceding crop. The
area harvested in 1013 is less
than that of 1901.
The significance of these fads
is not that I tie 1913 crop is a big
one. Tlie most important fea
ture of I lie comparisons is the
gyi.denee Lhyv aliped That wheat
production is practically at a
standstill.There has titan rio in
crease iiHhe.;ar£,gjg,twelve years.,
Meantime population has grown
steadily and the home require
ments of wheat "this year are
abput 100,000,000 bushels larger
than they were in 1901. This ex
pansion in the home requirement's
is shown clearly in the fact that
the average annual exports in tjje
live years, ending 1903, were
215.000. 000 bushels, while in the
last five years .the- average ex
ports were only 99,000,000 bush
els.
A similar shrinkage in surplus
corn is shown by the records. In
the five years ending June 30.
1901, the average annual exports
of corn were close to 200,000,
000 bushels, while in the last Ils
eal year only 18,000,000 bushels
.went out, of the country, though
the 1912 crop was by far tfje
largest, ever produced.
The evidence is clear that the
country's consumption of staple
products is growing much more
rapidly than the- production arid
not many more years will pass
before there will be need at home
for all tiie food produced in this
country, unless a radical change
occurs in farming methods, lo
greatly increase the yields per
acre. Of course, it is only a
question of time when this will
occur, hut in view of the fact that
increased yields per acre can he
obtained only by increased ex
penditure per acre, the enlarged
yields will come only when the
pressure of the demand and the
incentive of high prices stimu
late (he necessary effort for
making land in America produce
more than it yields under exist
ing farming methods.--Ex.
FREE FEDERAL JUDICIARY.
Isn't there an underlying rea
son for the greater deference (lie
general public pays lo the federal
over tile stale courts, and is that
reason far to seek? The United
Stales judge depends upon no
popular support lo maintain him.
in the enjoyment of his ollice;
the politician with great inllu
<mcc, and the wealthy man with
great riches, are comparatively
unimportant in the eyes of the
federal judge. The influence of
the one and Hie wealth of the oth
er mean nothing to him. He is
in his ollice for life if iris behav
ior is good. So long as he dis
penses exact justice, none can
harm him or make him afraid.
His future is provided for, and all
he must furnish towards Hull fu
ture is competency ami honesty.
Doesn't that make a free judici
ary and does not its practical
working speak against the recall
rather Ilian for it? ii is worth
thinking about—Ex.
New York, OH. 15.--During llie
maneuvers nf the Atlantic Heel
of ball leships last night a gun
ner's male was washed overboard
and drowned, lie was taken oil
his feel when the ship was turn
ed about and a big wave washed
Jhe deck and carried him far away
from the ship.
