WHY AND HOW
Juneau may boast, with a degree of accuracy, of
being the best town or city in United States possessions.
The cause of this happy condition is not difficult
of analysis. Juneau has relied upon its na^ural re
sources rather than upon false stimulants to waft it for
ward. „ . , , , .
Standing as a monument to foresight and genius, is
the Alaska Juneau gold mine, which ranks near the
top of great gold mines of the American continent, and
bids fair to duplicate the record of the famous Tread
well, This mine was made, not discovered. True it requir
ed a large sum of money to accomplish this, but the ex
penditure has been justified a thousandfold. Its payroll
is something of which Juneau is justly proud. #
And while others might have kept their eyes nvited
upon Washington as a source of progress and revenue,
Juneau has cast about her, and brought into fruition
industries which gave big and permanent payrolls.. In
these her own citizens have played a large pait, utilizing
their surplus to stimulate industries and thereby inviting
outside capital to come in. .
Some day the remainder of Alaska will take a tip
from Juneau and follow its lead. From that date onwaid
there will be other communities emerging to join Juneau
in her boast.
Days .when rivers and streams in Moose Pass, Sun
rise and Hope were lined with seekers of gold are being
relived. Scores of placer miners have resumed operations;
dozens of prospectors are scouring the marvelous scenic
paradise, and quartz mining also has been revived.
With all of Russia’s agriculture and industrial re
sources her hope is in developing new gold mines. Peter
the Great developed Russian mineral wealth by fastening
slaves to wheelbarrows with chains which were never re
moved until death.
Since the question of marketing Alaskan reindeer
is one of competition with the beef trust it’s not diffi
cult to pick the ultimate winner.
The advantage of being obscure is that one is not
so likely to be investigated.

GREAT BALL PARK
BEING HEWN FROM
LAGOON ROUGH
One of the best lots in Alaska will
soon grace the city limits of Sew
ard for, according to the work be
ing done, the Lagoon ball park is
certainly going to be a dandy.
Some of the features that this
park has over the former field near
Harriman Lake are that the rough
terrain is gotten away from, there
are not any trees around to lose
ball in, the skyline of Mount Mara
thon is less of a handicap to proper
fielding of high flies, the the pit
cher’s box is lined up with the
white background of the mountains
across the bay, the backstop will
be a backstop, and waters of Resur
rection Bay nearby can serve as a
cooler for the beer case prizes that
promise to be an important adjunct
of future baseball games.
Much work was done on the field
last evening. The backstop poles
were erected and the infield was
smoothed out.
More work is necessary on the
field before it is ready, however, and
it is thought that more work will
be done this evening.
If the field is completed by Sun
day a game between two Seward
teams, possibly a Married Men’s and
Single Men’s team, will be played.
EPISCOPAL SERVICES
Church services will be held in
the Episcopal Church tomorrow
morning at 10 o’clock. Fr. Senn will
be in charge of the services.
ANCHORAGEITE IS SAFE
Bert Dool, of the Pioneer Steam
Laundry, was found yesterday, safe
jin the cabin he had originally set
I out for, according to word from
Anchorage. Considerable fear was
! caused when Dool’s horse returned
riderless to Anchorage and the
searching parties were organized.
Aside from lack of food Dool was
said to be in fine condition. Ke had
become lost because he lost his
i glasses, it is said.
