DEVELOPING ALASKA.
(Ketchikan Chronicle)
It is interesting to note how the old timers of Alaska cling
to an insistence that we develop our mineral resources—or
rather that we find new mineral resources for development.
Rex Beach was in Alaska many years ago. You could
hardly call him an Alaskan or an old timer, even though
his success as an author was builded on what he wrote about
the Territory. Nevertheless he was here first in the days
of the gold rush and he shares with all the others who came
in those days the belief that our mineral resources are our
best. At least, such would be the indication from his ex
pressions to the Juneau Empire.
Mr. Beach would have the army and navy forces turn
ed to use as developers of the minerals of Alaska. He would
have aerial mapping done by military forces, military equip
ment and personnel used to transport prospectors.
We must all agree that mining development would be
a great thing for the Territory. In the Ketchikan district,
for example, the presence of a half dozen good-sized mines
would provide a year-around payroll and would do much
to stabilize industry of the region. Our fisheries, rich as
they are, provide only seasonal operations. And what ap
plies to Ketchikan in that sense applies also to all Alaska,
because the Territory draws by far its greatest revenues
from the fisheries—and a great majority of gainful workers
are engaged in fisheries operations. Thus, the seasonal fish
eries is unquestionably Alaska’s greatest industry, and its
only one of size. The mining industry employs far fewer
persons, pays less tax to the Territory than a single big sal
mon cannery. It certainly could stand expansion to the
benefit of the Territory.
The greatest difficulty faced by those who favor mineral
development is that of proving the existence of workable
properties. It is to that end that Mr. Beach and others urge
thorough prospecting.
At the same time, mining development is not the only
resource we of Alaska have on which to capitalize. We
have a rich resource in our tourist and hunting attractions.
We have a fisheries industry capable of great expansion thru
utilization of waste products and development of new pack
aging, an expansion that waits on scientific study just as
much as the mining industry waits on prospecting.
The radio can’t take the place of newspapers. You
can’t—more’s the pity!—start a fire with the radio!

Comedy Film One
Of Best Showing
At Dream Friday
Mary Boland and Charlie Rug
gles, who have been featured to
gether in numerous recent pic
tures, are co-starred in Mama Loves
Papa, a comedy written especially
for them, which opens Friday night
at the Dream Theatre. Norman Me
| Lend, director of the Four Marx
Brothers in most of their screen ap
pearances, megaphoned the produc
tion.
‘Mama Loves Papa* is a story
which permits both Miss Boland
and Ruggles to display their par
ticular types of comedy to the best
advantage. They are cast as a mid
die-aged couple who live outside a
big city and commute to town each
day, Ruggles to tease fellow offlee
workers with his puns, Miss Boland
to absorb ideas of ‘culture1 at pop
ular lectures.
After one of these lectures, Miss
Boland decides her husband must
dress in formal clothes on every
possible occasion. The next day he
goes to work in cutaway and bow
ler. His boss, spotting the clothes,
immediately concludes there was a
death in the family, and gives him
the day off. Charlie wanders into
the park, where he is mistaken for
a city official, and forced to partici
pate in a dedicatory exercise.
The city's political boss, dissatis
fied with the park commissioner, de
cides Charlie would do as well as
any one else, and appoints him to
the job, and a series of hilarious
events follow.
In addition to Miss Boland and
Ruggles, the cast includes Lilyan
Tashman, Walter Catlett, and Geo
rge Barbier in important roles.

Company special in this issue.

There was not enough slack to
detach the plane from the derrick
rope when it was returned to the
water.
"My husband, opening the throt
tle, tried to work back upstream.
But the plane had already swung
in the wind sidewise to the current
Out of control. Current pulled
against cable. Down went the
wing It acted like a paddle too, that
large flat surface stemming the
stream, forcing us over.
"Better get ready to jump!" My
husband’s voice shot at me tersely
from the front cockpit. I climbed
out. “Jump!”
"I looked down into the muddy
current. In that fleeting second ....
I thought only, with incongruous
eomplaceny, ‘Now I will find out
how this new life preserver works.”
‘ For not only did I have no fear,
I had no sensation at all—no realiza
tion of going under water or of get
ting wet or of my clothes being
heavy to swim in, or even that the
life preserver had not worked.
Quite typically I had not pressed
the lever far enough.
“It did not matter. I had come up
and was swimming along easily
with yards of deflated life preserv-j
er dragging after me. I saw my
husband just behind. We were
swept downstream to the lifeboat,
where we climbed on board and wip
ed our faces. I coughed up some
Yangtze water.” And then thought
about that toothbrushing matter.
