GOLD IN THE SEA
The fishing industry is assuming huge proportions
in Alaska, other fishing grounds are being or have been
fished out. and now it falls to the lot of Alaska with her
thousands of miles of coast line, her miles of deep water
fishing banks, on which are gathered the hahbut and cod
that practically supplies the people of the United States
with all that is eaten of that kind of fish and her innum
erable bays and inlets which during the season are teem
ing with salmon of all kinds and are canned in vast
quantities to supply the world.
The value of the fish in the waters tributary to Al
aska canot be estimated in dollars and cents, but a safe;
estimate based on the past ten years will bear this out.
Alaska will produce five hundred million dollars worth of
fish during the next twenty years. The future gold mines
of Alaska are in the waters and there is where thousands
of Alaskans will make their fortunes.
WE WERE ON THE JOB
Receipt of a facsimile of the order issued to German
reservists living in the United States a year ago to go to
Juarez under penalty of facing a charge of desertion in
event of a diplomatic break between the United States
and Germany explains why the president so hastily mobi
lized the national guard along the southern border nearly
a year ago. Vilia’s activities combined with this menace,
were sufficient and it will be noticed that America’s mili
tary forces are not far from the Mexican line yet, al
though the guard has been sent home.
EDUCATION UP HERE
Now that the territory is face to face with the neces
sity of supporting education let it go the limit and make a
good job of it. Alaska should have a university if pos
sible. At least there should be high schools in the various
thickly populated places. Not that one should be in every
town but one should l>e in each city easy of access to the
other cities in the division.
But we really ought to make a start, in however small
a way, for a university of Alaska. Once started public
spirited people of means here and outside would be glad
to support it.
As matters stand at present people are compelled to
send their boys and girls outside for the higher education.
This is a serious drain on their means but they very right
ly place the education of their children above and beyond
consideration for themselves.
A couple of good university professors with some in
structors would not cost such a terrible amount and each
student could be asked to pay some fee toward the
salaries.
Valdez has aeutallv made a start in this direction and
Valdez has hardly a tenth nart of the population contigu
ous to this city. Eventually, if not in the beginning, the
federal government would unquestionably assist because
the government would recognize the fact that on the in
telligence and training of at least some of the future citi
zens of Alaska will depend the territory’s real progress.
Now that the legislature is to take over the expenses
of education it might look into the matter very carefully
and see if they cannot make a finished job of i(.—(Juneau
Dispatch.)
Boats at two docks in Resurrection bay at the same
time give an indication of future improvements when the
line is vmoplete along Tumagain Ann.
Get a dory and a hundred or two fathoms of gill net,
and locate some creek where the salmon gather in the
spring, and then why should you worry about the high
cost of living.

Jimpson Proves His Claim
“Impossible!” said Simpson.
“But I saw it.” declared Jimpson.
“Impossible—ridiculous!”
“I tell you it did.”
“And T say it didn't, because it
couldn’t.”
“I was there and witnessed it.”
“Do you mean to tell me that he
was killed by a bolt from a clear
sky? Do you expect me to believe
such a yarn?” shouted Simpson.
“That’s just what I’m telling you.
A workman on a twenty-story build

“Pa, what’s the difference between
