SEW \KD. \LASKA. MONDAY, JI NE 7. 1915.
In allotment of lot* in Anchorage the government will probably be well
advised not to go into the business of leasing real estate. The assertion that
hv holding possession of the ground the government could prevent speculation
i*. probably one that was made without the belief that such a policy would be
followed, and it i* to be hoped that such an idea will he abandoned if it ever
actually entered the minds of those in authority.
Why should any government try to stop speculation on the part of its
citizens? Men ought to have a* much right to speculate as they have to do
anything else that i* not opposed to the laws. A government which acts as
grandmother to people is a government which wants always to be a
grandmother, which means that the grandchildren will never develope.
The plan of leasing lot* to people just as a European baron might lease,
lands to his tenants is contrary to the spirit ot the American nation and its <
traditions. To hold such people a* dependents is contrary to the spirit of all
democratic government, f reedom of the individual is the chief desire of true j
democracy. As freedom for the individual decreases democracy fails in direct ^
ratio. MM
No one will deny that speculation in itself is bad in some respects as ■
freedom may be ahusod and as all things that are good may be abused. If a j
government tries to remove everything of which abuse is possible it will
try to do more than Providence itself has attempted. If it is necessary in
order to stop excessive speculation to curtail the freedom of the people it:
were better to let speculation run riot. The Cnited States has developed
materially because it- people have been given full freedom of action. The j
countries whose governments have been continuously acting as the peoples’j
brains and business managers have never succeeded industrially, and .why
should the government of the I’nited States now begin to curtail the privi
leges of the people of any part of the nation?
Preventing a monoplv of any industry or any of the nation s products is a
totally different matter. To permit a man to he the absolute owner of his
home, to do what he likes with that home and the ground on which it is locat
ed would be the very best incentive to him to add to its value, lo do other
wise would be grandmotherly with a vengeance.

While the new Tolovana strike near
Fairbanks has all the appearance of |
developing into a camp that will be a
big producer for years, the present is
no time for mining men and prospect
ors to stampede into the district, ac
cording to Thomas A. McGowan, of
Fairbanks, counsel in Alaska for the
Northern Commercial company.. “The |
new district is a large one and should
further development and prospecting
show good pay there is room for 5,000
people there. Just now, however,
there is nothing certain about it.
While good pay has been struck on
some of the creeks the extent of the
pay has not been determined, and un
til this is done the Tolovana is no
place for a stampede. There are at j
present about 250 prospectors on the
ground, and by the time the summer ^
is over the new camp will have prov
ed either a big strike or just an ordin
ary proposition. It seems to be the (
general impression, however, that
Tolovana is destained to be a big
camp.”
SAN FRANCISCO, June 2.—Joseph
p. Haller, the pioneer salmon cannery
operator of the Bering Sea died here
today. Haller was the first man to
demonstrate the immense richness of
the salmon fisheries in Bristol Bay,
anti his entrance into that field was
followed by many others, until today:
the canneries of Bering Sea, are turn- j
ing out more canned fish than any
other part of Alaska. Haller "as
manager of the North Alaska Salmon
Company at the time he died, and
was well known to many Alaskans,
and a leading figure in the fishing in- j
dustry.
