NOW IS THE TIME
With the navy department firmly requesting that Al
aska coal be brought from the Matanuska field to the all
yea r-around open port at Seward, at the earliest possible
moment and the Alaskan engineering commission making
deliberate plans to ship coal via Anchorage, it is plain that
the two branches of the government have not reached the
full and complete understanding necessary to avoid loss
of time in putting the coal where it is most needed, i. e.
in factories and on ships.
Now is the time to get together.
WASTE EFFORT
It would be quite a relief if the papers of Southeast
ern Alaska would forget the last election (it’s over). 1 he
merits of any controversy concerning the election of Dir.
Sulzer and the defeat of Mr. Wickersham (and you can
qualify either with any adjective you see fit, according to
your political beliefs) will be settled by Congress alter
due showing by the parties involved without the aid of all
the printer’s ink and white paper devoted to the subject.
Possibly a suggestion would be in order as to what to
fill the space, otherwise used on this topic.
H’m, well, suppose it be used to proomte and encour
age the development of wasted waterpower in Alaska, the
scientific increase of the salmon output, the exploration
and investigation of hitherto neglected resources within
Alaska.
SIX TO ONE AGAINST GERMANS
More than half the human race is now ranged in war
against the Germans.
The man strength of the Teutonic forces is outnum
bered six to one by their foes.
Omit all of India, and the allies, backed by the United
States, still have four times the population to draw upon
that stands behind the Kaiser.
Subtract all the wealth of all the German fund from
the wealth of the United States and still there remains
more than fifty billion dollars.
American farms grow more than all the farms of
Germany, Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria combined.
The United States alone can make more steel and all
the products of steel than the whole Germanic league.
Our mines yield ten times as much gold, far more sil
