ALASKA IN LOS ANGELES
In his report to the Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merce, Cecil A. James makes this observation respecting
Alaska: ^
•‘Present business conditions in Alaska have been affected i
to a considerable extent by the present position of foodstuffs I
from its fisheries, lumber, copper, silver and fur on the world’s'
markets. There is renewed interest and activity on every hand,
however, with prospect of a development period that may ex- i
ceed any previous period relating to conquest for this precious j
metal since the acquisition of the territory from Russia over 60 i
years ago.
“The present day tendency of gold mining on an industrial
or manufacturing basis with big capital requirements involved, Is
tending to add continually to a permanent year-round popula- ;
tion and which, with increased activity now under way in open
ing up of smaller properties, will add to the diversity as well as j
volume of the consuming requirements of the Territory,”
Here is the cue to begin to prepare to present favora- j
ble prospects to the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce.'
It is proposed that a large number of members of that j
civic organization visit Alaska next summer. In addition
San Francisco is preparing to dispatch a large contingent.;
With all of these visiting prospective investors, the
community which shows the greatest speed in supplying
its wares will be the first to profit thereby. ,
' THE PENSION ROLL
At the end of October, 1931, there were 449,428 pen
sioners on the government rolls, a decrease of 717 during
the month. How these are distributed by classes is shown
by the following:
War of 1812: 8 widows; Mexican War: 521 widows;
Civil War: 36,975 soldiers, 22 army nurses, 149,830 wid
ows; Indian Wars: 5,295 soldiers, 4,375 widows; War with
Spain: 195,666 soldiers, 520 army nurses, 34,620 widows;
World War: 40 soldiers, 12 widows; Regular Army: 17,293
soldiers, 4,251 widows.
The highest number of pensioners was reached in
1902, when a total of 999,446 veterans and widows were on
the rolls.
It will be noted that only 52 persons are drawing pen
sions on account of the World War. WThen general pen
sion legislation becomes applicable to those soldiers and
their widow's, as it doubtless will in time, there is no tell
ing how high the number of pensioners will rise, or how
long Uncle Sam will be paying for his European excursion.
Inasmuch as we are still paying pensions on account
of the War of 1812, which ended nearly 117 years ago, the
last widow pensioner of the WTorld War will no doubt sur
vive until the year 2035 or longer. And none can tell what
war§ the United States may engage in between now and
then. w
Sweden shames American inventive genius by mak
ing sugar out of sawdust. The best we can do is to convert
it into breakfast food.

SEHTTLE1EPRESENT11IVE
OF THE KLIM IMS
Karl K. Katz, for some months
past manager of the Anchorage
base of the Alaskan Airways, ac
companied by Mrs. Katz and child
ren, arrived in Seward and will de- j
part for Seattle on the SS North- j
western.
Mr. Katz, who previous to his
Alaska connection with the Alas
kan Aij-ways, was the Alaska rep
resentative of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, has been transferred to
Seattle to become the Seattle rep
resentative of the Alaskan Airways.
His Seattle offices now are at 16
Ray Street. Clark Bassett succeeds
Mr. Katz as manager of the An
chorage base.
During the while Mr. and Mrs.
Katz made their home in Alaska
they made many friends through
out the Northland and it is w'th
luctance that friends see them do j
part for the Outside.
