BIG THINGS IN THE MAKING
If the weather vane ever pointed toward big things in
a national way for Alaska it is now. .
Hitherto Alaska has struggled along in an individual
way, with the meager territorial set-up and merest necessi
ties in way of federal grants.
Now Uncle Sam has become Alaska conscious, and has
his several departments casting up big projects of national
and even inter-national import and bearing.
Systems of highways, airways, radio service, weather
bureaus, army and navy airplane bases, and defensive meas
ures are contemplated. Farm colonies and other projects
are to be backed by the government.
These enterprises involve the expenditure of millions.
From all appearances they are to be launched this year. In
such an event 1935 will be a busy year in Alaska.
Even the initiation of these projects this year will mean
a heavy traffic in supplies to Alaska, the bringing in of ma
terials of all kinds for construction, employment of thous
ands of men. distribution of money in many channels.
The farm colonization plan, whether one believes in it
from an economic standpoint, whether or not the market is
available, will mean the bringing in of hundreds of people,
thus adding to the coastal passenger traffic and the import
of heavy quantities of materials, stock and the like for laun
ching of the projects.
When all these ventures are launched the government
should not overlook the fact competent advisers and others
will be necessary in the field to supervise and direct. Doubt
less these ends will be covered with a comprehensive set-up.
Withal, Uncle Sam seems bent on putting Alaska on the
map in a way hitherto unknown. To old time Alaskans it
means the dawning of a new era. They may look for many
changes—for a “New Order,” as the president has said un
der the “American Plan.” ^
Now that Santa Claus seems insistent upon doing big
things for Alaska, let the Alaskans prepare and give him
a big reception *and help in every way possible to make the
big program a success.
With the new government now gaining headway. Alas
ka is interested in seeing that it be on a sound basis and con
tinue so, that she not be over-run with incompetent and
worse than useless misfits and that the influx of job-seekers
docs not exceed the demand. Careful precaution must be ta
aken by those m author, y to avoid this contingency. Prosp

GOLD MINES PAYING BIG DIVIDENDS
Dividends from gold mines have been quite satisfactory
during the year just past. The higher price for gold and the
more economical mining and milling operations have com
bined to greatly increase the profit of gold mining opera
tions. Checks recently have come to hand from the mining,
milling and transportation operations of the Golden Cycle
Corporation of Colorado Springs and Cripple Creek. This
great mining company paid the usual quarterly dividend of
40cts a share and an extra dividend of 60cts a share. Such
a substantial payment is the best evidence of the prosperity
of the mining and milling of the yellow metal. Then we
have new dividend payers all over Colorado, companies and
syndicates as well as lessees who are profiting and splitting
these profits as they accumulate.
Gold mines over the west and in Alaska all have the
same profitable story to tell. Both lodes and placers are
making pay-offs. The greatest of all is the famous Home
stake Mine in the Black Hills of South Dakota that is paying
a regular dividend of $1 a month with a monthly extra of $2
per share. This amounts to better than $750,000 a month,
certainly a nice dividend for the shareholders.
The class of companies now being financed and carrying
on development in the western mining fields is now the
highest that has been before the public since the popular
system of financing through the sale of shares was inaugu
rated. The only trouble is that red tape state and national
laws have held down the number of legitimate companies
that should be carrying on this profitable development in
the gold mining areas of the nation. The west has hopes
that there will be a change in the securities law so that legi
timate mining financing can proceed unhampered by well
intended but too severe laws. The storm of protest against
all laws that stop the industrial progress of the nation is
growing through the land.—Exchange.
WHY “LIFE IS TOO SHORT.”
_ Edouard Branly, French inventor, recently celebrated
his 90th birthday, remarking “life is too short.”
While he wouldn’t prolong life too long the Frenchman
thought it should be long enough for a man “to learn some
thing thoroughly.” He noted the many things that interest
mankind and “so much to learn” and asked men to renounce
the thirst for riches in order to take up intelligent work in
science and in art.
Not such a bad suggestion, either. There are so many
half-intelligent, egotistic individuals, without fundamental
knowledge and achievement that it« at best, is heavily
splotched with ignorance. •<
A little authority affects some men more than strong
drink.
When you waste time in argument with a fool you make
a fool of yourself.
A budget is a good thing for any family if the family
will carry it out, but it won’t work miracles by itself.
