LET’S BE TIGHT WADS
Just suppose everyone entering a store should tell
the merchant: “I want a can of salmon, crab, shrimp,” or
other sea food, “but it must be Alaskan produced and
never having left the Territory.”
And again: “I want only Alaskan vegetables, straw
berry current, cranberry or raspberry jelly or jam.”
It would be but a short time when the housewives and
kiddies would be garnering berries, canning them at a
small central plant and adding many dollars to the rev
enue of everyone.
This is how the great Heinz plant came into being, j
Frugal, tight-wad Pennsylvanians prefered to patronize
home industry.

PLANS FOR ANOTHER RAID
Not satisfied with the $167,000,000 being spent by the
government on the questionable Boulder Dam project cer
tain interests are making plans for another raid on the
public treasury, according to the Chicago Tribune.
When the dam is completed an aqueduct will be need
ed to carry the water to the land it is supposed to irrigate,
and California voted a $200,000,000 bond issue for the pur
pose. Now it is said the bonds can not, be sold, so it is
proposed that they be unloaded on Uncle Sam. Whether
the promoters of this scheme will be able to get away with
it remains to be seen.
It is difficult to understand why the government
should continue to finance irrigation projects when the
country has more farm land already than can be utilized
profitably. While hundreds of millions are being spent
to increase the suqdus of farm land, other hundreds of
millions are being squandered in a futile effort to reduce
the surplus of farm crops.
But that is the way of government in business—and
the taxpayers pay and pay.
TROY FOR GOVERNOR
So confident are the Democrats of success in the;
forthcoming national elections that Alaskans are already j
looking around for a suitable candidate for Governor of
the Territory. Among those whose name appears most
prominent is John Troy, veteran owner and editor of the
Juneau Daily Empire.
Of those who have stood steadfast behind Democratic
guns refusing to straddle or equivocate for expediency’s
sake is Mr. Troy. He is a member of the old guard who
take their politics seriously. It might be said that there
are few of this old guard left. When it comes to recogni
tion of loyalty none have the edge on Mr. Troy.
According to the Administrative Research Corpora
tion of New York the equivalent of every one out of 49
persons in the United States was a holder of stocks in
one or more of the 26 leading industries at the end of 1931.
Which is referred to as an improvement in business. Yes,
for those who unloaded the stock on the 2,497,501 pur
chasers of chips in the Wall Street game.
“Business Leaders to Thresh Out Ills”—Headline.
And when the threshing is done they will probably dis
cover that they have a surplus crop on their hands.
Investigations of campaign expenses this year will
probably be devoted chiefly to finding out why the boys
didn’t come across.

NIEMiNEN GOULD NOT
MOOR PUNE BEHIND
LOGIIL BREWER
Owing to the large number of
boats anchored behind the break
water Thursday evening, Pilot Matt
Nieminen, of the Alaskan Airways,
was compelled to beach his pon
toon plane near the ocean dock. A
moderate swell made it dangerous
to remain beached. Emulating the
owners Of pleasure craft, Nieminen
solved the problem by mooring to
the west end of the dock and
stringing a line ashore.
The suggestion is offered that
those using the breakwater as a
harbor leave a space between the
rock fill of sufficient width to al
low planes to taxi to the beach.
Owing to the shallow waters north
of the usual fisher-boat float, a
plane cannot reach the beach.
Pilot Matt brought in passengers
from Anchorage and expected to
depart with a full load at an early
hour today.
Referring to the local mooring
problem, “Ace” Matt said he thot
it might be an excellent idea to
place a heavy anchor, with buoy
attached, off the floating dock so
that a plane could be moored with
some degree of safety. The other
line could be run ashore.
Pilot Nieminen left Anchorage
last Saturday with three passen
gers, Peter Freuchen, Arctic ex
plorer and author; Mr. Porter and
a Mr. Burroughs. From Nome he
carried Mr. and Mrs. Joe Meherin
to Fairbanks; from Fairbanks to
Anchorage he flew Mrs. Pollack,
Attorney Collins and “Bud” Bas
sett, Mr. Collins, as has been said,
continuing on to Seward with him j
last evening. Nieminen arrived at I
Anchorage yesterday where the,
pontoons were affixed. Rudders
and a starter are to be placed on!

turns to Seward, probably early j
next week.
Chas. Cooper, member of the lo- j
cal city council, returned Thurs-1

3,000,000 FISH EGGS
Over 3,000,000 steel-head trout
