Well folks we will all have to
leave Anchorage and if we want to
stay in Alaska the only safe placowill
be Nome. St. Michael nr Point Bar
Dou’t believe it? Well Dr. Milton
A. Nobles of Philadelphia says you
better believe it and he warns you
not to laugh at his prediction. He
oavs that within ten years there will
be a cataclysm that will shift the
earth's axis, engulfine all Europe
but missing the I'nited States. Dr.
Nobles probably hasn’t got it in for
Alaska, but he puts all of this coun
try except the Northern part in the
daneer w>ne. The cataclysm will
come in the form of earthquakes.
Believe It or not. New York news
papers thought cQnugh of the story
to print long articles about Dr.
Nobles and his reAnade world pre
dictions. with accompanying maps
showing the area to be mined, I
Or. Nobles traces the following
belts of death and life on the world i
Danger Zone: All of Europe,
Greenland. Iceland. North Africa.
Southern Alaska. Northern Canada.

NO DIVISION OF
TERRITORY SAY
CHAMBER MEN
That the time is not yet come for
the division of the Territory of Al
aska was the majority opinion ex
pressed at a meeting of the Anchor
age Chamber of Commerce recently
called to discuss the question now
being agitated in the First Judicial
Division, says the Anchorage Times.
Thomas A. Wade represented
those -who favor the division of the
territory, amd Arthur Frame spoke
against the movement. They were
followed by others who expressed
opinions for both sides.
"The attitude of Anchorage shouM
be with the First Division." said Mr
Wade. "I believe we will get the
Capital without separation, but It is
my opinion that it would be unwise
to oppose the people of the First Di
vision as the Third Division has the
largest production per capita, is the
r'chest country and has the greatest
Frame Oppose DivKion
"The time for the division of the
Territory is premature." sa:d Arthur
Frame. "We are not ready for it
and this district should use its ef
forts in improving what it has. rath
er than trying for somethin? it is
•not sure of getting. The taxable re
sources and population <>f the Terri
tory are not enough for ore."
"It is my opinion." he continued,
"that the chief reason for the agita
tion for separation by the First Div
ision is because of its. j-ntieipafun
the pulp industry. There is no
reason <>r argument in the agitation,
but a local feeling whicii finds an
outlet in talk of this kind.
"There has been dissatisfaction
over the working of the Territorial
government, and it is hourd to ex
ist as long as the Second a ad P ur'h
Divisions are granted the same rep
resentation at the Territory’ Legis
lature regardless of its smaller pop
ulation than the First ami Third.
This dissatisfaction ha.-? brought
about an agitation leading 11 a
change."
.» • the invitation of Presbi'mt
Price. M. IV Snodgrass. Senator from
the Fourth Division nt the H't ses
sion of the Territorial Legislature,
s|K>ke on the questi >n.
“It is a good time for us to just
mark time." Mr. Snodgrass said.
• If the people of the Firat Division
want to separate from the Territory
'• is up to them to preset* tne mat
ter We are not in a posi it* to op
pose them too much.”
Mr. Snodgrass said he believed the
real trouble with the Firs* Division
is that the residents thera no not
really know the r'*sl of AT3Ska. This
was made evident to him in the vis
its to the Interior by people fr ;m
there during the past sea.-* n. hr
Anchorage Has Advantage
"When the time comes'for action.
1 feel that Anchorage has ad
vantages for the capital.” he deHar
"When it comes to that date I be
lieve the people of the Interior and
the coast west of the gulf, if it came
to a vote, would come half way with
Anchorage, the meeting point."
One of the most important factors
of the situation is that the people of
Anchorage must be alert to where
the dividing line will be. should the
First Division separate from the
Territory, in the opinion pf C. J.

■W.« should not oppose the people
of the First Division in their efforts
to be divided from the Territory, but
we must not let them encroach west
of Mt. St. Elias,” he ssiid. “1 have
reason to believe that they would
include the Topper River Valley in
their territory, and it is up to us to
have something in Washington *o
thwart them on the dividing lit?
when the question is presented b
fore Congress.”
Price OppoM-tl
“I am opposed in every way to the
division of the Territory, and I am
not personally in favor of moving
the capita! to Anchorage." declared
He then pointed out that the
Territorial Budget report from 1917
to 1923 shows the First and Third
Division paying practically the en
tire revenue of the territory, and
argued that should the First Divis
ion be separated front the Territory
the burden of carrying th** Second
and Fourth Division will be thrust
upon the Third.
•'The First Division carries itself
and would be ahead if it were cut off
front the Second and Fourth.” he
".Juneau expects big revenues from
the timber resources. It is not
aTraid of the capital being moved, as
it knows that this is not going to he
done until such time as business de
mands it.”
President Price stated it was
against his policy to “tear down one
City that another might bo built up.”
