The Seattle chamber of commerce has again spoken for Alaska.
This time it warns people against coming to the territory jobless unless
they are going to enter business and the correspondents wire the momentous
intelligence to this and other Alaskan papers. The chamber evidently be
lieves it is all right for people to coine up and start in business and buy
. i
from the Seattle w holesalers even though the rest of mankind takes the advice i
of the chamber and stays outside and lets the new business men starve to
death.
The Seattle people should really remember that Alaskans resent the in
terference of outsiders in the affairs of this territory as representatives. |
Me ha'e a legislature, a governor, a delegate in congress, city councils and
chambers of commerce of our own and if some Seattle man should, perchance,
hit on a good idea it might be advisable for him to speak through some Al
askan body and leave their oracular selves in the background.
M ith all respect to those people, they no more understand conditions .
in Alaska than they understand Baluchistan. The chances are good that a
man would be fifty thousand times better off broke in Alaska than broke in
Seattle. But let it be granted for the sake of argument that Alaska at pres
ent may be a poor field for broke men, and. yet, the fact remains that Seat
tle takes too much upon itself in speaking for the territory. Let the Seat
tle people warn broke men from Seattle, by all means if they want to—but
they won’t—while Alaska takes care of itself.

The' uprising of the Persians carries with it the suggestion of almost
appalling possibilities. In itself alone it indicates the awful danger which
might arise as the result of the holy war declared by the C alif. In a direct ^
and unbroken line stand Egypt, Turkey in Asia and Europe, Persia Afghan- j
istan and India. Further east is C hina and the remainder of the world where- ,
in the religion of Mohammed reigns as a semi-divine but fanatical ruler of
mens thoughts. The Mohammedans of Afghanistan are said to have already j
risen in arms against the Christians. Its neighbor is the empire of India J
w ith its hundreds of million of people. On its other side are I urkey and
Egypt while in the Russian empire itself the tire of Mohammedanism
smoulders to be fanned to an all-destroying blaze by the storm of rebellion
across the border.
The Mohammedans of the world number nearly halt as many as the j
total number of all kind* of C hri*tians. With Christians religion no longer |
means the fanatical frenzy that dro\e the crusaders to death, while with the
Mohammedans their religion is to them more than life or death now as ever.
Hut the danger from this fact alone would be nothing compared to the danger
arising from it while the great Christian nations, the so-called bearers of the
torch of civilization, are using that torch to shrivel each other body and soul.
With the Christian world divided aganst itself and hundreds of millions of
Mohammedan* taking them in the flank only an omniscient power can see the
ending. .. • •
Ony a short time ago Japan was contemned as a power by the world.
Fatuous Occidentals had come to the conclusion that an Oriental race could
never arise abo>e dependence on the goodwill of self-styled civilizations
lords and masters. But Japan hurled the legions of mighty Russia backward
while the world wondered, and an Oriental race proved itself the equal in
every respect of those who had despised them.
How are we to tell that the same qualities that made Japan a world power
of the first magnitude do not lie dormant in other nations that have hence-1
forth been fooled into submission by the presumptous claims of pseudo
Chritstians?

The Cordova Alaskan says:
“The railroad news from Wtshirg
ton these days is not altogether en
co iraging for Cordova and tne Cop
per River country The decision of
routes has been made by the President
and while we are hopeful that Cordo\a
may be named as the ocean terminus
of a trunk or coal line, we are not
feeling very exuberant over the pros
pect. The concensus of opinion in the
east seems to indicate that the fjrst
road to be built will be from Ship
creek to the Matanuska coal fields
and from Seward to connect with the
coal line at Ship creek.”

Economy in the long run

Buick cars are every day establishing remarkable fuel
economy records. It was a Buick that won the Wisconsin Re
liability and Economy Contest with an average of 24.8 miles to
the gallon for over .">00 miles.
Thousands of unsolicited let ters from satisfied owners vouch
for Buick economy of upkeep and records of tire mileage.
For examples of Buick longevity and uninterrupted service,
look to the various models, from the lirst one built. They’re
still in service—some of them in our home town.
