ALASKA’S FUTURE MILLIONS
If you wonder where the people are coming from who
will make up Alaska’s future population numbered in mil
lions, the answer is given in scientific calculations recent
ly made by Dr. Raymond Pearl, biologist, of Johns Hop
kins Universitl, Baltimore.
It is a startling fact, as he shows, that the population
of Europe durig the last century doubled every 33 years,
the poulation of the Uniuted States in the same period
doubled six times.
By a series of careful and scientific tests and an
alyses, he reaches thee onclusion that the population of
the world will increase in the next century from the pres
ent 1,800,000,000 to more than 6,000,000,000, and that the
population of the United States will grow in the next 50
years from the present 120,000,000 to 340,000,000 reaching
400,000,000 in the next 100 years.
The only limit on the mathematical increase that pro
duces these results, he points out, is the fod supply. But
the United States, including Alaska, he estimates, can
produce enough to support 1,000,000,000 in comfort, so
that the ratio of increase promises to continue. It was
30 per 1000 of population from 1880 to 1900, and 31.5 per,
1000 for the period between 1900 and 1920. The ratio at
present is even higher. This is due to improved attention
to food and health, and to higher standards of living.
There is no future fact more assured than the cer
tainty that within comparatively few y ears, as time
passes, Alaska will be densely populated by many millions
of hardy and thrifty people, as the north-western parts of
Europe have been for many centuries.
A GOOD WINTER AHEAD
Vacation days are almost over and folks are begin
ing to settle down to the winter srtide. The old woolens
have been pulled out of the chests, or new ones have been
purchased.
But just because winter is almost atop of us does not
mean to say we should lay back and get over the win- j
ter the best we can. Now is the time to get ready for the
Christmas and New Year holidays, and after that, begin
pegging away for next spring, which advent, will open one
of the best year’s Seward will have enjoyed.
It’s going to be a great old winter!
The loud speakers are not all connected with the radio.
Cal didn't spring anything new when he said “I do not
choose to run in 1928." Many flivvers have been inter
mittently humming that all year.
Golf balls in Seward may resemble, at times fish balls,
but the fact remains it will soon be that time of year to
put away the golf balls and take out the moth balls.
“Advertising does not jerk; it pulls," is one of John
Wanamaker's aphorisms, and just as true today as when
the immortal John penned and published it.
We've often wondered how absend-minded college
professors ever remember to put water in the battery.
Well, nobody is breaking his neck to make a non-stop
flight from the kitchen sink to the garbage can.
Lunatics publish a paper at an asylum in Humber
storn England. There may be others.
Seasick persons seldom need advice as to what they
should do; they just naturally do it.
Life iswhat we make it—if we can make it.

Some men die in peace; others in pieces.
STEAMER STARR ARRIS
T
“The trip was pretty rough”, re
marked one of the passengers on the
S. S. Starr this morning when asked
how he enjoyed the voyage. As a
matter of fact the staunch little steam
er was almost compelled to tie up
every night, enroute to this port, in
some harbor owing to the violent
gales sweeping over the island area.
But at that few got real seasick tho
there were a number wTho missed
many meals, for some reason or other.
Pine weather was encountered in
the Bering Sea but the voyage just
completed was rougher than the most
severe weather during the mid-winter
months
The incoming passenger list includ
ed: C. Brinkman-Hall, James Bogart,
Annie Simmetook, Capt. J. Hoffstad,
John Bobeck, John Palutoff, Louis
Larsen, J. M. Day, J. M. McCoy, G.
O. Norgard, R. F.Wright, S. P. Smith,
Rev. Graham, and three steerage.
WESTWARD MARRIAGE
Miss Betty Lee, who went west on
the S. S. Starr, was married on arrival
at Unalaska to Mr. Ed Moore of the
Naval Radio Station by U. S. Com
missioner Mr. Finch. Looks like Ed
was taking no chances with the rest
of the good looking boys at the station.

NORTHERN LIGHTS
Perry A. Cole, inspector for the
National American Fox Breeders as
sociation. and owner of a very suc
cessful silver black fox farm at
Alder Creek, New York, convinced
that Alaska offers unexcelled opportu
nities for the develoment of the fur
industry, has decided to engage in
fur farming in the Territory on a
large scale and has made application
for a tract of 640 acres on the Kusil
of river. It is the intention of Mr.
Cole to start work on his new enter
prise early next spring. The tract
embraces a chain six lakes, skirted
by a stand of spruce timber and it
is his plan to enclose the entire sec
tion. Muskrats, minks, marten, bea
ver, silver black and Arctic foxes
and perhaps blue foxes will be
raised. Mr. Cole states that the
launching of his enterprise will mean
material increase in the population
of the settlement, since he will bring
at least five new families into the
district to take up homesteads. Mr.
Cole’s son, Milton, is already located
there and comfortably settled for the
winter.
