business ties. The country has proven
rich in natural resources* both cf
the land anil sea* a^ to assure a strong
and stable population- but such a poo*
pi * will not only be attracted to Alas
ka through a policy of encouragement.
“The adoption of a broad construc
tive policy that will make for the ra
tional development of Alaska, through
the peopling of the country by men
and women equipped to comba* the
trials and hardships of the northern
frontier* and such a people attachi d 4"»
Alaska by home and business ties
tin only foundation on which may ’»**
built a prosperous and progressive
northland that will be a source of*
strength to the nation.
“The early inauguration of such a
policy is the goal to which all true
f ieruls of Alaska should persistently
labor.
in -umming up- the booklet says:
“ It is only v ith the construction or
at e:i't three trans-Ala-kan railroads
r» -aching from open ha*bers on tid
v. • r into the vast interior of Alaska
with numerous branches as feeder
that the \ resource >f Alas
ka i an bo economically, developed and
ma' to servo the uses of man.
“With the construction of the road
and the building of the numerous
branches as feeders, and with a libera'
policy of inducement and a spirit o'
encouragement toward the pioneer an
nioneer capital- Alaska will pour int -
the lap of our people a stream o
ea’th- no* only of gold- copjjer and
the precious metals- but also of fish
agricultural products- meats- furs and
coal that will have no competitor.
“Alaska has a future that cannot
be pictured by the most enthusiastic
optimists. A country that has mad*
such a showing with a mere handful
or’ men- under the most adverse and
restrictive conditions* offers untold
possibilities. The* construction of thro •
trunk radway lines will result in th-»
opening up of an empire nine times
as gn at as the state of Washington,
an 1 over nine times as rich in natur: 1
resources. Its extent and wealth ha
never been approached by any front b-*
land. Hers should he a future of th• •
greatest prosperity- and it is the duty
of our people to see that she secure;
the nationaJ development which she
’a- so long been denied.
"Our united efforts will be crown*
d with a success that will mean a-i
awakened empire of the north— Alas*
Ka- Our Frontier Wonderland.”
It kind of jars a boob to spend two
\ ars w/iking up courage enough t'>
propose and then haw* her accept hrm
in two seconds.
Of course* Mr. McAdoo will be a
candidate for the presidency. Right
now he i." receiving gum-shoe political
plotters at the secluded Santa Bar
bara mansion. After he is through
“lasting'* he will suddenly hoar the
country’s call and he quick to get a
running start. And he will get the
democratic nomination* because the
Bryan wing hasn't a man to put out

Thrt attempt of the First division
to secede from the Territory of Alaska
and become a seperate territory, while
occa sioninff no surprise to the resi

The claim by the residents of that div

hit of bunk which will tickle the ris

will view the attempt of the tail to

ENGLAND DKCiDKS ON
( HEAP KLKCRTIUTY FOR
HE \TING \ND LIGHTING
LONDON. .July 2- - England is pr<
paring to provide herself with chon»
and abundant electricity for heating
lighting and manufacturing purpose
at an initial cost of approximately
$100000000. The bill to accomplish
that result has been introduced in pa *
Lament by the home secretary and
with the endorsement of the govern
ment as well as of people of all clash
es- it is expected to become a law in
the very near future .
The plan for placing the country
on an electrical basis provides for its
division into districts* each district
to In- in charge of a commission. This
body- whose members are to hold of
fice at the pleasure of the king wil
be empowered to acquire generating
plants and transmission lines already
built and to build such plants and
lines as it niav deem necessary. 1 he
commissioners are to conduct cxpei i*
ments for the purpose of improving
methods of supply for which purpose
they will he empowered to call to
their assistance an advisory commit
tee of unquestioned experts.
It is not the purpose of the govern
ment to buijd all the electrical ap
paratus in the country hut private cor
porations entering the field must ob
tain the consent of the government
and abide by its regulations.
Water power will be extensively
used in generating electricity to re
duce the cost and to stimulate its use
for manufacturing and domestic pur
poses.
