ALASKA CAN AID
- Not alone Seattle, but every other city and community
on the Pacific slope, and every part of the United States,
could and should be helped out of the business depression by
our great Empire of the North—Alaska.
It was Alaska alone that lifted the United States and
a big portion of the rest of the world from the depths of
business stagnation and despondency in 1897 by the electri
fying stimulus of the Klondyke gold discoveries, followed
swiftly by the Nome and the Fairbanks diggings.
The stimulating benefits of those gold discoveries lasted
for fifteen years—fifteen years of unprecedented business
prosperity and industrial growth.
Who can doubt that, with 5,000 to 10,000 prospectors
turned loose in Alaska, well grub-staked by men of means
in Seattle and other cities, some of them would uncover
rich disco%'eries in that land of boundless wealth.
Prospecting in Alaska has been dormant since 1915, the
beginning of the world War. For a variety of causes and in
fluences. it never has revived on the scale that produced
such outpourings of the precious metals for fifteen years af
ter the Klondyke discoveries.
But it can be revived. The cooperation of public offi
cials of vision and energy and courage will be necessary, il
they can be found
The government has built a railroad to and through
interior Alaska, which is operating with one train a week,
in a country abounding in resources of many kinds,
it- The tools and the opportunities are there. Initiative and
resourcefulness at this stage to break down the handicaps,
to remove the dead wood, to undertake and build up a new
era of mining and other activities in Alaska wrould bring
results of vast benefits to Seattle and the nation, surely and
swiftly. It Coin be done.—The Seattle Star.
CONGRATULATIONS
There has just come to our desk a copy of the new Nome
Nugget. New, not in volume number, but decked out in the
regalia of the new day for Nome which was predicted by this
publication when the Seward Peninsula city was recently
devastated byT fire. True to Northern tradition, the city of
Nome is rising from the smoldering ruins of the old gold
rush camp to a modem city, and the publication which has
so long served the residents of the district is leading the way
as befits a newspaper. With new equipment, fine paper stock
and a make-up which would do credit to a city many times
the size of Nome, the Nome Nugget will keep the pace, ever
help to set the pace, in the rejuvenation of its city.—Alaska
Weekly.
The latest trend is toward colorful furniture. But that’s
nothing new to mothers whose children have been playing
with crayons and water colors.
Science has been able to magnify the human voice
12,000 times, but a greater, feat would be to reduce some
human voices 12,000 times.
