Steps are now being taken to
have the corporate limits of the
town extended so as to include the
water front and the desirable part
of the so-called reservation. It is
to be hoped that this change will
be accomplished, as it is of vast
importance to the welfare of the
town. Under present conditions
several large concerns which do all
of their business in the town do
not pav a cent toward the running
expenses of the municipality. Dur
ing the past year the outside busi
ness enterprises which are directly
dependent upon the citizens of
town for support, paid into the
general treasury $Ui5‘J in licenses.
This should come to the town, and
if the attempt to change the limits
is successful it will. Another im
portant reason for making the
change is the fact that while a ma
jority of the school children now
attending, reside on the reservation
that s ction does not contribute a
cent toward the maintenance of
the school. Of course it is to he
expected that those who have busi
ness establishments outside the
limits will oppose any change, for
the reason that it will make them
liable for local taxes, but if they
are not public spirited enough to
pay their proportion of the running
expenses of the town in which they
do business, some method should
be devised to make them do so. A
tax on foreign corporations doing
business within the town would
accomplish this, and might, if it
was made large enough, convince
these parties that it would l>o better
to be within the limits.

According to the present con
sumption of trees in the United
States in the manufacture of paper
pulp the visible supply will not
last for more than 30 years, and as
a consequence the price of paper is
constantly on the rise; so much so
that many of the journals of the
country are clamoring to have the
duty taken off of foreign timber,
and thus save the home forests and
reduce the price of pulp. Before
any legislative action in the matter
it would be well to take Alaska in
to consideration and note its j>os=i
bilities in that direction. If a pro
tective tariff is good to promote the
growth of an infant industry let a
paper pulp infant be planted in
Alaska and be taken care of.
We have here millions of acres
of timber of a kind suitable for the
purpose, and water power sufficient
for any numlter of pulp mills.
Under the present law the tim
ber of Alaska cannot l>e shipped
out of the country, but with the
laws suitably amended and good
roads established, there is not a
place within a jurisdiction of the
United States better suited for the
manufacture of paper pulp than
Alaska, and particularly the Cop
per river valley,
*
It is probably not commonly
known that a marriage license is
not required here. Some of our
embryo statesmen were debating
the other evening as to whether
this was intended to encourage
matrimony or was an oversight of
the lawmakers. The prevailing
opinion seemed to l»e that the law
makers had overlooked the matter
as it is about the only venture a
person can start in Alaska without
paving a tax. Here is a chance for
the new council to add to the reve
nues of the town. Put a local tax
of twenty-five or fifty dollars on
weddings, and from all indications
it would be but a short time until
the indebtedness of the town would
be wiped out.
The Washington politician is
now keeping his eye on the goose
that lays the golden egg, and will
use every endeavor to secure the
egg
