WAKE UP
Whenever a small section of any
country down south produces good
crops of sugar beets, fruits or grains,
the pap^ r? sta? t u a.id boom the place
and very shortly afterwards we read
that a sugar factory, a cannery or a
string of ?. levators h*ve been built to
take advantage of nature's gifts. |
There is a lot of Idle capital that is |
always eager to be used. provided the j
owners of it can see a way clear to
make it pay a dividend. This being so ?
it docs seem strange that opportunities
up here a--e so sadly neglected. The '
country around Skai^way is covered
with berries? oceans of them grow on
the hillsides and could be had fori
the picking: they require no attention
and are the sweetest flavored small
fruit that grow, but they arc allowed
to go to waste with the exception of
the small amount that berry picking
parties gather now and then. There
are plenty of them here to warrant the
establishment of a plant to preserve
them, which would give employment to
a large uumber of persons, but nothing
is dene toward' letting people interest
ed in such an opening become aware of
the fact. It was i'aul Jones, who once
said: "If you want a ship, go get ii."
and it is up to Skagway residents to
acquaint themselves with the fact that
not only as regards ships but also is it
true of all o'.her matters that will re
dound to the towns good, If they want
them they *i!l have to go after them,
and the tirst step to take in doing so is
to wake up.
ALASKA'S GOOD FRIEND
With, the arrival of the Uuuiboldt in
Snagwav tomorrow this city will have
one of Alaska's best friends within its
confines for a short ti-ue as a guest.
Without any exception this territory
has had no better friend in Congress
than was Mr. Sulzer. On every!
occasion that arose he whs for Alaska
being given fair treatment at the hands
of Congress. His was not a silent
friendship, for with all the brilliant !
talent at his command hr championed '
her cause and was not afraid to go on
record as ber defonder. Yet at that he
did not stop with a play of words to
show his faith In this country? he went
farther and backed his faith with
his money and at the present time Mr.
Sulzer has large holdings in Alaska,
and every one hopes that it may so
'urn out that Alasita will be as kind to
Mr. Su'zer as he has always been to
ter.
San Francisco's boodllng supervisors,
at request of the graft prosecutors
bare elected an aoti boodling mayor,
an J the anti-boodling m?vor is going
to oust the boodling supervisors who
elected him and appoiut some anti
boodling supervisors. Then the new
auti-boodiing administration will begin
doing things, or thinks it will. In the
mean time the chief of police under the
boodling regime refuses to recognize
the new administration, and Sohinitz is
appointing new supervisors from bis
seat of government at the jail. After
all, thj earthquake wis not the worst
thing that has happened to the CSolden
Gate city.

In Texas
Hereford, Tex., July 25? Professor T.
L. Kverly. an archeologist and instructor
in Canadian college, at this place, has
discovered a buried city in Ochiltree
county, 100 miles northwest of here.
The appearance of a number of mounds
upon what was otherwise a level plain
attracted Mr. Kverly 's attention, and
he began investigations. His excava
tions have revealed buried buildings, in
which are humau bouss and stone uten
sils. The mounds are rectangular in
shape and their number shows that it
was once a city of several thousand peo
ple. The character of ruins indicate
that they antedate tbe Aztecs.
