GREAT ALASKA FUR INDUSTRY
There are about 500 fur farms in Alaska, with 2,500
persons employed, using thousands of heads of stock and
representing an investment totaling nearly $10,000,000.
Products of the farm suplement furs taken by the
trappers. In 1929 fur exported from Alaska approxi
mated $5,000,000; 1930 was lower owing to greatly re
duced prices due to the depression, and also because in
1929 there were well over a million more furs than in
the following year.
In the aggregate, though scattered over a wide
area, it can be readily seen Alaska's fur industry has
grown tremendously; prevailing low prices, however,
has temporarily halted expansion but the industry is at
least holding its own.
LINDBERGH TEACHES GEOGRAPHY
The projected flight of the Lindberghs to Japan
and China arouses considerable interest and will make
a few citizens check up a bit on their knowledge of geo
graphy as did the globe-circling flight of Post and Gatty.
For example, it will seem strange to some that the
flying colonel may leave New York flying almost due
north to Greenland and skirt to the east of the North
Pole on his way to Japan! Or, again, that a course
slightly northwest, towards Hudson Bay, is being con
sidered as well as along the coast-line of Alaska and
over the wreath-like Aleutian Islands.
It is interesting to get this new slant cn the shape
of the world and try to plot courses on a round globe j
instead of a flat map.
Europe bemoans the falling off of American tourist!
traffic. The American traveler has arrived at the very |
sensible conclusion that the dearly-bought and far-fetch- j
ed is not always the best, that there are wonders near j
home, and that when money is tight, it is a good plan |
to spend it where there is a chance that some of it will |
get back to the person who does the spending. i
In Alaska there are constantly increasing herds of j
reindeer, caribou, yaks and crosses between, sufficient;
to supply the needs of America for years to come. Non
vegitarians need have little fear juicy steaks and roasts |
will soon be a thing of the past. Alaska can supply beef
to the world!

If the world's axis shifted or broke down during
the night and brought about the light rain, it might not
be a bad idea for Seward's mechanical experts to get
together and repair same before Saturday, July 4.

Doctor Einstein says that he may have to modify
his theory of relativity. He has been made the butte of
many jokes, but the fact that he is open-minded about
his own work, makes one think that perhaps he has really
discovered something after all.

Alaska, calling on Nature, upsets the mutterings of
pessimists every time. Take grain, for instance. Food
has for years been grown in the Territory which, ac
cording to pessimists, was a land where nothing but
icicles and snowballs would thrive.

When the flood of population in the empire of the
United States can go no longer westward it will come
