The sampling unit for the testing
?v ores ia assured. It was definite
ly settled *t the < nthusiastic outpour
ing of Skyway * gxx*i people called
together at the Town Hall last night.
This meeting has demonstrated
that the town of Skagway has an
aggress u e, progressive spirit which
can acconipl tsh things a hen it us
aroused. The unanimity of action
? tuch marked the deliberations of
the meeting and the enthusiasiu
maimer with ahioh the proposition of
installing the mil] a as received are
points worthy of note.
The geuerous response of thoee
who were present either in person
or by proxy, and volunteered to con
tribute in a substantial way aith
their cash, is ??mniendable as show
ing the true fiber that constitutes
the citi2eash:p of this place.
The Daily Alaskan has always con
tended that we were that kind of
people and while the results of the
meeting are highly gratifying it is
no more than was to be expected.
The progress of the committee will
toe eagerly watched. In its labors
it should be assisted ia every way
possible by the people.
Let the enthus.asm be kept up and
in a fe* brief weeks the mill will
be an established fai t ready not ouiy
to crush and test the ores known
to be in the Skagwav v alley but to
aid the surrounding country.
But this is not all. Some of us
have ihv hope that in time and not
far distant our little test mill will
have grown into a great plant throb
biug with industry, that many
stamps Kill be dropping and crush
lug out the gcid that is known to ex
ist in the hills adjacent to this
town. Skagway is at last on the
road toward true prosperity.
THE EARTH NOT NEAR ITS LIMIT
When food prices were soaring. Ksa
U?Aa two years ago. a great. deal of
printer s ink used in telling how
near the world had come to dire suf
fering from unprecedented pressure
of population upon tile largest pos
sible food supplies, ikxieaia warn
*ngs were given that radical changes
ia the production o f food and its oon
sumpUoa and ia the use of tike soil
were imperative if mankind would
escape starvation.
There was a certain element of
truth and common sense in this
talk, but it concerned the rather re
ll*>w future more than it did the
present, in its most radical predict
ions. >Yv instance, the approach of
a veritable famine in respect to
wheat was said u> be plain and im
minent
Now the world's yield of wheat
promises to break all records and an
unusually large surplus will be car
ried over into the new crop year.
Canada ia practically certain to make
a great advance over the harvest of
1910, and in the United States there
ia a fair chance for a new record.
Australia harvested a big crop month'
ago and Argentina has had a fair
yield. Condition* are generally favor
able in Europe.
The tendency of prices for food
ia downward in this country and in
other parts ot the world. With ex
ceptions here and there the oon

| Just Received at BRITT'S
ditions this year mock the fears of
those who jumped to the conclusion
that food markets would never fall
and that the world would experience
great and increasing difficulty In pro
ducing enough to eat. This old
< arth is capable of far outdoing all
that it has ever done. It has not
l>oen brought any where near its real
food limit ? Kx.
Vice-President Dickeeon, of the
White Pass Route, is certainly a
progressive spirit, and & wholesome
oJemeui in the community. The town
of Ska*. way should congratulate it
self, that he has In-eu selected U>
preside over the destinies of tin
railroad interest* in this place.
It a town can spend seven hundred
and fitly dollars mi a day's tun it
can surely have no difficulty in rais
ing three thousand dollars for an in
vestneat that, will be a perniam tit
institution and a constant upbuikler
of ihe place.
Chairman Draper used excellent
judgement at last night's mass meet
ing in naming the committee to cir
culate the subscription paper. If
Messrs. Keller, Diekesou and Tan
ner cant get the money, then it
Isn't hero.
Skagway has come out of the
trance ? it will not be necessary for
those hills to fall
