HOPEFUL SIGNS OF PROGRESS
The attitude of the Southeastern Alaska press in go
ing at the root of the Territory’s lethargy, namely too
much government and too little efficiency, is a hopeful
sign that the Territory as o whole is awakening and that
it is incubating a unity of purpose capable of shaking off
the obstacles now impeding progress.
It will be recalled that for five years The Gateway has
been hammering away at the root of Alaskan troubles,
but somehow many of these who now see the light have
left us to fight alone.
With the press synchronizing on a given policy such
as lifting the blight of too tense conservation and over
government by theorists, a ray of hope breaks that the
voice of Alaska will be heard in Washington.
Aside from its irritation, iron-bound conservation
and governmental meddling in what should be purely
Alaskan affairs is at the bottom of a general shyness of
Alaskan investments. Once the tension is relaxed and
capital offered an opportunity to enter Alaska unham
pered by political interference, there is no denying that
a great forward movement will begin.
In its stand against the pernivious system the Gate
way has not stood alone with an impractical idea. From
every walk of business life in the continental United
States has come condemnation of governmental intrusion
into business and over-government. There is not a State
which has not felt the efects of this usurpation of pre
rogatives of the individual and loud has been the protest.
That this protest will bear fruit from a new Congress is
altogether probable. Thus Alaska will be in good and
strong company if it can be unified into a bold front pre
pared to wage a good battle for its rights.
JITNEY GOLD MINING
One of the effects of the depression in the Western
States has been to send thousands of men into the hills to
pan gold from streams made historical in the days when
the man who could not discover the yellow metal had
nothing to spend.
So great has become the trek to the hills that Mon
tana is issuing bulletins for the novice instructing him in
search, panning rocking and slucing.
Many of those in California are taking from two to
ten dollars a day from the old streams, living in their own
little cabins like the forty-niners and laughing at the de
pression.
No better advice could be given the newcomer to
Alaska than that he take a supply of grub and go into the
regions like Hope, Sunrise and Moose Pass and there join
up with oldtimers who have sniping ground from wdiich
a living can be taken with the sluicebox. And this does
not apply solely to the newcomer. Many young men sit
ting around wondering when a job will show up might be
independent by emulating the newcomer and getting in
and digging.
Reports from wherever Soapy Smith, Jesse James,
the Dalton boys and other steller lights of historical high
finance are buried say each grave has been bulged by the
occupants turning over.
Since Ambassador Mellon announced he would stock
his celler in London it may be proper to speak of him as
being in high spirits.
Reno plans to have a band play every day and even
ing. Well, bands played during the war to cheer up people.
It is to be hoped that the Socialists’ faith in public
ownership has been satisfied since Wall Street took us
over.

head the special cast in portrayal of the
difficult parts seen and heard in the
great play
"The Ruling Voice”
in eight reels
This is a powerful play showing; the inner workings
of the “ring” of master-minds of big racketeering—
men who would have been managers of big corpora
tions, gone bad.
A very clever play with an unusually strong drama
showing that every “lead man” has some weak spot.
NOT A GANG STORY
But the business of big racketeering, with a mystery
throughout that will hold you.
With it we will show you four one-reelers—A News,
A Looney Tune, A Comedy aud a Singing Reel.
