AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
IT IS FALL.
It has been a wonderfully
fine summer with more than
usual opportunities for out
door activities, because of the
unbroken sunshine which con
tinued for so long. But it will
be fine to have the fall rains,
too, and later the nip of frost
and the sheen of snow. Just
as une or the fine things about
going way from home is to
come back there, so one of the
fine things about summer is
that finally we come to its end
and to normal change. Seas
ons lend variety and prevent
monotony. And each of them
in Hyder is enjoyable.

THE GREAT STOREHOUSE.
Nothin? has happened for
many a day for which Alaska
may be so truly thankful as
the trip through the territory
just completed by Senator
Frank B. Willis of Ohio, chair
man of the senate corpmitt.ee
on territories, says the well
known Alaska Weekly.
Senator Willis would stand
out anywhere but we cannot
but think of what an Alaskan
he would have made had the
call of the old North reached
him a quarter of a century ago.
He is the type of man Alaskans
know and who has the vision
and understanding to know
Aalska.
In an interview appearing in
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Senator Willis voiced his im«
pressions of Alaska in the fol
lowing manner:
“Alaska is not a totem pole,”
he declared indignantly. “Nei
ther is it a dog team, nor a
glacier. Alaska is the great
est untouched storehouse the
American people have today.
Millions upon millions of tons
of coal, billions in lumber, un
told mineral resources that
have scarce been scratched,
oil and fish and furs, and
above all else, her fertile val
leys. That is the real Alaska of
the future.
“She must tap and utilize her
industrial possibilities. I have
heard that Alaska’s gold is
gone. There was never a great
er falsehood. The easy gold is
getting scarce, perhaps, but
the real yellow treasure is still
there waiting science and skill
to wrest it from the mountains.
Her coal deposits are almost
unbelievable, her timber limit
less. Her fish, if properly con
served, a fortune In itself.
“But it is in her agricultural
lands that she is finally and
indisputably richest. I saw
wheat grow thirty bushels to
the acre. Hay, potatoes, ber
ries and fruit, the finest and
best flavored I have tasted
anywhere. And thousands up- j
on thousands of acres waiting
for the plow. I tell you the
rest of us, and Alaska herself,
must wake up to the real val
ue of that territory.” .
Alaska’s first great need is
roads, the senator declared.
“Not paved boulevards for
motor traffic, but work-day
roads that will open up her
vast hinterland. Wagon roads
for the farmers, trails for the
prospectors. That is the first
thing I shall urge congress to j
help her do—build roads.”
It is such men as Senator Wil-1
lis who help to restore our j
faith in official Washington
after the severe shaking up it
occasioally receives at the
hands of such gentlemen as
Congressman Free. It requires
a true pioneer spirit to visual
ize the Alaska of tomorrow—
men of lesser breeds may not
he expected to see it. As chair
man of the senate committee
an territories Senator Willis
may be relied upon to back
3very constructive move to
ward the realization of the
iieat industrial and agricult
aral empire which so surely
will be built from the tremen
lous natural resources of Alas
ka.
TWO SIDES.
There are two sides to every
question. This is just as true
in advertising as in an argu
ment. In advertising there is
the side of the advertiser and
the side of the public.
From the viewpoint of the
advertiser in the newspaper,
advertising is a means of in
creasing his volume of busi
ness. Commercial development
has made advertising as neces
sary to retail business as cus
tomers. Without customers the
advertiser could not remain in
business, so he advertises to
attract customers.
The other side of the quest
ion is that of the public. To
the public newspaper adver
tising means the bringing of
the store show cases to the of
fice and living room. It is a
service extended to the public
by the advertiser, because’ it
aids the customer in ascertain
ing where that which is want
ed can be purchased at
the most advantageous price.
Newspaper advertising has
abolished shop-searching. To
save time for the shopper
lengthens his day.
So although there are two
sides to newspaper advertising,
there is no disagreement be
tween the two. Finding that
advertising serves the public
as well as business the mer
chant has two reasons instead
of one for advertising, and the
customer learns that the most
progressive merchants are the
most extensive advertisers, so
there is a double attraction. By
the nature of business, if ad
vertising didn’t help the buy
ing public it could not help
the advertiser.
