THE FUTURft OF ALASKA
No one who Is acquainted with the
vast potential resources of Alaska,
with lis acres and acres of fertile
lands, lis thickly timbered hills, Its
thousands of miles of coast waters
u-emiug with fish, its mines of cop
per, the gold bearing sands that are
toun^ la nearly every section of the
territory and the quartz deposit* that
are coming t0 nKht. doubts the ulti
mate future of the territory. It is
? ? < '
merely a question of time before the
pushing population of the eastern
status seek and develop Alaska as
li should be developed. Of course
this degree of development will be
a matter of years, many years per
haps.
But thoee who have been in Alaska
since the early days and who com
plain of the slowness of Its growth
and development should remember
that Alaska is still in Its infancy.
The real development of the country
might be said to date from the '97
gold rush, making Industrial Alaska
only twelve years old. This being so
Alaska has already made great in
dustrial strides and wouderful pro
gress has been shown considering
the few years the country has been
exploited.
As yet Alaska has merely been
touched around, the edges. The gold
is not the greatest industry In Alaska
by any means, and even the prospect
ing for gold has not been in a thor
ough manner, as new strikes testify.
With the wonderful advertising Al
aska was given by the A.-Y.P-. ex
position and the Increased knowledge
of the country It la reasonable to
believe that Alaska stands upon the
threshold of a new and better Indus
trial era. The financial panic in the
states Is past aud although it had a
bad effect upon Alaska, the north
laud weathered the storm and field It
own well. Next year and each suc
ceeding year should see Alaska and
lh? Yukon gaiulng ground In people,
ladu^trles and iu the total output of
*??*? - - - * ?X ?v
resources. ? Haines Pioneer Press.
THE DE LARE CASE.
,MV .
a
In the Untied States it Is some
time* criminal libel to critlcUe public
offlclals. la Mexico it is high trea
sou, sedition, anarchy or what you
will. Som?.- time ago L. UuiU-rrez
De Lare. Mexican Journalist, saw cer
tain high handed abases la the man
ner in which President Diaz was con
ducting his office. For commenting
upon these abuses De Lara's paper
was suppressed and a warrant was
Issued for his arrest on a charge
of inciting sedition and being an an
archist.
Knowing full well that he would not
be accorded a fair trial, De Lare left
Mv^ico between duslt and dawn and
came to Los Angelee. There he was
arrested on a charge of belnj an an
archist, though It is by no means ev
ident that he holds other beliefs than
those consistent with advanced social
Ism. and now the Mexican govern
ment Is seeking to have De Lare de
ported on the grounds tha* he la an
undesirable alien. If he is returned
to Mexico De Lare will almost cer
tainly suffer death at the hands of
the government he has criticized.
There ate a good many Americans,
not All socialists, who don't quite fan
cy thl* Illness of Uncl^ Sam arrest
ing and returning political refugees
for execution, esfleclally when the
crime consists solely of freedom of
speech. Russia tried to export a
tuau la^t year and It failed. It will
be disgraceful If Do Lare Is returned.
Hundreds of sympathizers of Do Lare
have sulxii ribed a defense fund and
an attorney has been retalued to look
after his interests. The government
has been petitioned to give De Lare
an open heariug when the Immigra
tion inspector investigates the case.
The personal fate of De Lare is
not the reason for this; a Wital prin
cipal of our government Is Involved.
THE NEWSPAPER GRAVEYARD
Beneath the stones they sweetly
sleep, the humble tollers of the press,
no more to sorrow or to weep, no
more ?o labor in distress. Here lies
a youth upon whose tomb the tear
of pity often drops, we had to send
him to his doom, because he wrote
of "bumper crops." Here sleeps the
golden years away the fairest of the
human tribe; we slew him at the
break of day, because he called him
self "ye scribe." Beneath that yew
another sleeps, who did his work with
smiling lips; we had to put him up
for keeps when he referred to "fly
ing trips." And one, the noblest of
them all, is resting on the windswept
hill; in writing up a game of bell, he
spoke of one who "hit the pill." Hard
by the wall, where roses bloom, and
breezes sway the clinging vines, that
youth Is sleeping In his tomb, who
used the phrase, "along these lines."
Today the sexton wields his spade,
and digs a grave both deep and wide,
vhere soon the stripling will be laid,
who wrote about "the blushing
bride." ? Walt Mason.
Aldrlch will shortly tour the coun
try advocating his central bank
scheme. The best argument against
this piece of proposed legislation Is
the fact that Aldrlch and Joe Cannon
favor it That should decide the peo
ple of the country against it.
Now that Gov. Johnson of Minne
!sota has been removed by death Gov.
Judson Harmon of Ohio is considered
about the most eligible man for the
Democratic presidential nomination In
1912. But that's a long time away.
FX>r they that will he rich fall into
temptation and a snare, and Into
many foolish and hurtful lusts which
drown men Into destruction and per
dition. ? Timothy, 6 ? 0.
The indications point toward a big
spring stampede to the new placer
diggings on the Iditarod. This should
help Skagway as those wishing to
reach the Idltarod at the earliest
possible moment will undoubtedly go
down the river.
Alaska needs homo rule.

; Mrs B. J. Roy, 1009 E. Madison
St., Seattle. Wash., says: "I know
that Doan's Kidney Pills are effective
in cases of kidney trouble and con
sequently do not hesitate to recom
mend them. 1 suffered from sharp
pains across the small of my back of
ten changing to a dull, heavy ache
ithat robbed me of all ambition. I
finally began using Doan's Kidney
PUls as they were highly recommend
ed and I must say that nothing could
have suited my case better. # The
pains and aches soon disappeared and
I felt as if I had been given a new
lease on life."
