Consideration of the need for
effectively advertising the min
eral resources of the district
suggests that a great deal of
splendid publicity may be
gained by the simple process
of maintaining a mineral exhib
it in Seattle or some other
point on the Pacific Coast.
Seattle is suggested owing to
its proximity to Hyder and
also because of a certain mu
tuality of interest between that
city and Alaska. An additional
reason is that Seattle is the
assembling point of the large
number of tourists who annual
ly visit the Territory but whose
migrations do not bring them
to Hyder and who in conse
nei:her hear or see anything of
the great mineral wonderland
of this section. By maintain
ing an exhibit in some prom
inent place in the Puget Sound
port, many hundreds of visitors
would be given an opportunity
to see sqpething of what we
have in the mineral line. As to
the matter of where to secure
a place for such an exhibit it
may be said that the Alaska
Bureau of the Seattle Chamber
of Commerce maintains a per
manent exhibit of Alaska prod
ucts and a number of business
houses also display samples of
minerals from various northen
points, hence there is no doubt
that a place could be found for
a selected mineral display.
A little effort on the part of
the local commercial asso
ciation would undoubtedly
reveal a suitable place. The
same organization, in cooper
ation with the claim owners
of the district, could also un
dertake more successfully than
other agencies the work of col
lecting and preparing the sug
gested display.
By the same token it is also
suggested that an exhibit of
the same character in Ketch
ikan or other points along the
tourist route would be product
ive of highly beneficial public
ity.
It needs but slight reflection
to perceive that an actual dis
play of the the ores of the dis
trict would be far more con-!
vincing evidence of what this
i section holds than reams
iof printed matter, which how
ever sincere and truthful, is
always open to the suspicion ,
of being colored to suit the j
needs of its promulgators.
CITIZENS POLITICAL DUTY
(Theodore Roosevelt.)
It ought to be axiomatic in
j this country that every man
must devote a reasonable share j
of his time to doing his duty
in the political life of the com- j
munity. No man has a right to
shirk his political duties under |
whatever plea of pleasure or. i
business; and while such shirk
ing may be pardoned in tho se i
of small means, it is entirely j
unpardonable in those among ,
whom it is most common—in
the people whose circum
stances give them freedom in
the struggle for life.
REMEDIES THAT CURE
(By Arthur Brisbane)
Two young doctors discover
ed insulin, the remedy that
actually saves men at the edge
of the grave from diabetes;
millions of lives will be saved
by that discovery and as a by
product insulin will add to the '
dividends of the big packing
houses. Five hundred thousand
dollars a year is the packers'
profit now on insulin coming
from the pancreases of slaugh
tered hogs, and the amount
will greatly increase.
Slor.iy science adds to the
number of cures that are cer
tain. Malaria yields to quinine
always. Preparations of arsenic
destroy the germs of other dis
eases, extracts of various |
glands make new human be- i
ings of defectives, antitoxins
cure diptherfa, hydrophobia, I
and prevent typhoid and small
pox. The conquests of science
are far above those of all the
military killers. And science
will save a million lives event- '•
ually for every one that it has
destroyed.
SOUTH ALASKA CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE PROPOSED
A report recommending the
organization of a South Alaska
Central Chamber of Commerce
to function through a paid pro
fessional secretary, and the ap
propriation, pro rata by the
various commercial orgagjzat
ion§ comprised in the chamber,
of $25,000 annually to defray
| expenses, was recently adopted
by the Juneau Chamber of
Commerce, to be submitted to
other chambers interested, as a
basis of discussion preliminary
| to organization. The report ai
iso recommended that a conven
tion be held to perfect the or
ganization.
ALASKA WOMAN JURY
LAW NOW BEFORE U. S.
CIRCUIT COUR1
The Alaska woman jury law
was argued recently before the
United States Circuit Court of
Appeals at San Francisco in
the case of Charles H. Tynan,
of Ketchikan, convicted by a
jury of three women and nine
men for violation of the Vol
stead Act. Tynan contended
that neither the Nineteenth
Amendment ,the Federal Con-t
stitution nor the Alaska Organ
ic Act authorizes women on
juries. District Attorney A. G.
Shoup, of the First Division, ar
gued the case for the govern
ment. The court’s decision
was reserved.
