1 ho suit brought by the representatives of the First division to restrain
the territory from using the forest funds equally for all parts of Alaska was
frightfully il! advised and as matters look now the First division stands to
gain nothing by it whichever way the eat jumps. Because the funds com
ing from the forest reserves in the First division were greater than those
from tlie other divisions the First division came to the conclusion that the j
other divisions did not have equal rights to them.
If' the same argument held good in other respects the other three divi
sions might object to having the capital in Juneau. The forest funds are
really federal money, or, at least, were federal money until the federal gov
ernment decided to let the territory have it. If the funds coming through
the federal government from forests should be spent where they are collected
the money received by the federal government from customs, railroads, etc.
ought to bo spent where they are collected, unless the forest funds are gov
erned by special regulations or rules, which is hardly likely.
Let u> suppose that there has been made a special regulation by which
forest funds are to be turned over to the territory for use in roads or some
thing else, and let us suppose that the federal government decides later to
turn over the profits of the government railroad for the use of the territory. ‘
W hat would the First division think if the Third and Fourth divisions claimed
all those profits for their own benefit ? Or. let us suppose that the money
acquired from the leasing of the Matanuska coal lands were used for the
development of A’aska. Is Juneau going to establish a precedent by which
the peop'e of the coming Matanuska city may secure all those funds of the
future?
Aside from all this; The First division by its suit is manifesting a narrow
ness of spirit which is un-Alaskan. It has the greatest gold mines and the
greatest fisheries of Alaska at present. It has payrolls far exceeding the
payrolls o* other districts anil it has a splendidly prosperous future assured.
Wf! a few thousand dollars, if they can be obtained, repay it for declaring
war on the other parts of the territory?
( ITV FATHERS MEET, TALK
V N D DO NOTHING VT ALL.
The business done at the meeting
of the city council last night was
nothing. There were discussions
which properly belong to committees
ami the meeting lasted well over an
hour at least while officials and non
officials outside the council aided in
the debates on trivial matters that
could be adjusted by letting one of
the members of the council look into
it beforehand. The Seward Power &
Light co. asked permission to make
some changes in poles and the mat
ter was referred to a committee. The
school committee will meet the school
board this evening to go into school
estimates and matters generally.
The committee dealing with the ap
plications for new electric franchise
reported progress. The applicants
will be required to deposit a certified
check for $500 and will be required to
give bonds that the power will be sup
plied within a year. Then came the
application of the Pioneers for a
building site on First Avenue at
Adams. Mr. Brownell objected to
having the whole approach to his
property by Adams street blocked
and the eouncilmen agreed with him
and decided to leave ten feet for a
passage way. The application of the
Pioneers had been up for a week but
until the question was broached last
night the city council hail been too
busy nailing up ordinances or some
thing else to bother about little
i
matters.

REDUCING THE “HIGH COST
OF WALKING” IN ALASKA!
It is in Alaska that the high cost
of living gets in its hardest licks. We
of the United States scarcely know
what the term means. Food is ex
tremely costly, it takes a small for
tune to purchase an outfit of clothes,
and luxuries are beyond the reach of
all but the millionaires. A pair of
rubber boots costs from $15 to $20,
and because of the sharp rocks and
stones upon which the men must
work, an ordinary pair only lasts
from thirty to forty days. In other
words, it costs the miners about $150
a year for boots only. •
A most interesting experiment was
conducted by the B. F. Goodrich
Company recently, when they sent
one of the first pairs of their Hi-Press
boots ever manufactured to Alaska to
be tested. The boots are made under
a new process, the rubber and fabric
being welded together under extreme
ly high pressure,—whence the boot
got its name. The pair sent to Alas
ka were worn by a miner working
side by side with other miners, who
were wearing boots of other makes
Although subjected to the same severe
service on sharp rocks in the sluice
boxes, the pair of Hi-Press out-wore
seven complete sets of boots on the
feet of the other miners. After ter
months of wear they were sent bacV
to the factory for inspection, and il
was found that the boots were stil
intact, and the soles no more thar
half worn through.
The Goodrich Company accounts
for this remarkable service by say
ing that the new method of curing
boots under pressure, which has nevei
been done before, gives exceptional
durability to the rubber and also thal
the sole rubber is practically the
same as that used on the Goodrich
tire tread. In fact they say that the
soles are so tough that under no cir
cumstanees will they wear out, and il
is never necessary for the wearer tc
tap his soles as has formerly been the
practice. Because of the extra weai
which the miners can get from the
new Hi-Press, with a resultant sav
ing expense to them, the boot has be
come very popular and is in great de
mand.—Adv.
