AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
D'TTRICT CREATING
EXCELLENT IMPRESSSION
Highly commendatory ex
pressions voiced by leading
m’n'ng men and engineers in
r^-ent editions of the Alaska
\V e1 1/ disclose that there is
r constantly enlarging faith in
ths m?nds of those who know
the mining game that the Port
1 n Canal district is due to be
come a great mining section
w'th further development.
A dozen or more articles of
this character have appeared
in that well known journal in
recent weeks, each emanating
from someone prominently con
noted with the minimg indust
ry, every one of which have
b >en s'rongly commendatory
oc the district and its possibil
ities for mineral development.
And, most significant of all,
each one of them is strong in
the assertion that the section
i3 a solendid field for mining
investment.
It is indeed true,as all who
core to investigate the district
must speedily realize. The Hy
der field will stand all the in
vestigation possible to give.
The mineral is here, to be seen
in greater profusion than can
be found anywhere on earth.
Hyder can “show the goods”
and having them in plain sight
a ks no more of the prospect
ive mining investor than that
he come and see for himseit,
for we believe that having seen
the immense bodies of mineral
visible on all sides, he cannot
escape the conviction that here
is one of the most wonderful
m'neral areas ever found and
one that needs only the hand
of industry, backed by working
capital to make it yield an im
mense wealth.
A SHRINE OF CITIZENSHIP
The recent splendid action of
the government in setting aside j
the week from December ninth j
to sixteenth as a testimonial of
honor to the memory of the
1 .te president, Warren G.
Harding, is the prelude to a
sir'll greater endeavor to en
shrine the memory of his splen
did citizenship in the hearts
end minds of the people of the |
United States, according to "a
statement by Governor Scott C.
j his. recent proclamation of
[Harding Memorial Week, in
which he explains this larger
aim and purpose as follows:
“The obrervance of the week
set apart to honor the memory
of the late president will inaug
urate a nation-wide movement
to create a permanent Memor
ial at Marion, Ohio. The Hard
ing Memorial Association was
incorporated under the laws of
Ohio on October 2nd. last and
the incorporators include Pres
ident Calvin Coolidge and all,
the members of his cabinet.
" Mr. Coolidge -is honorary
president of the Association; j
Joseph S. Frelinghousen, * of
New Jersey, acting president;
George B. Christian, Jr. Sec
retary, and Andrew W. Mellon
Treasurer. An executive com
mittee is headed by Dr. Char-,
les E. Sawyer, with D. Richard
Cresinger, late Comptroller or
Currency, in charge of organ
ization. The governor of each
state and territory is honorary
chairman of his respective state
or territory and was asked by
President Coolidge, on behalf
of the Harding Memorial Asso
ciation to issue a suitable proc
lamation for the observance of
Harding Memorial Week and
secure the acceptance of an j
available man in his state or
territory to serve as active
chairman.
Complying with the request,
\l have asked George D. Haz
elet, of Cordova, to become the
active chairman for Alaska
and he has accepted the posit
j ion and will at once organize
the Territory and direct the j
raising of Alaska’s quota of
the sum desired for the per
imsner.* r-itional memorial,
i “rihe purpose is,first, to erect
and maintain in perpetuity, at
Marion, Ohio, a mausoleum
wherein to place the remains
of the late president and oi
Florence Kling Harding, his
widow, when she. shall have
passed away; second, to ac
quire the home of the late pres
ident in the city of Marion and
such other property as is deem
ed necessary for conversion in
to a shrine in which all person
al effects, books, publications, !
mementos, and belongings of
the late president may be pre
served in affectionate memory
and understanding and to
which all people may go for j
inspiration; third, to endow a ;
Warren Gamaliel Harding j
Chair of Diplomacy and Fun-;
ctions of Government in con- j
nection with some existing un-:
iversity, and fourth, to hold
property real and personal for'
the purpose of perpetuating j
said places and memorials.
“A special fire-proof build-!
ing will be erected in connect
ion with the residence of the
ilch wi
housed the many interesting
mementoes-and souvenirs pre
sented to him, including those
received on his memorable
journey to Alaska. In connect
ion with the endowment of a
chair in an existing university,
an arrangement will be made
whereby scholarships, oppor
tunity for study and more ex
tensive understanding of the
affairs of government-nation
al, state and local-may be
brought about.
“It is the aim of the Harding
Memoriaf Association to raise
a fund erf $3,000,000, one half
of which will be used for the
erection of a mausoleum and
creation of a shrine and $1,000,
000 invested in government
bonds for sustaining in per
petuity the mausoleum and
'hrine and the remaining $5,
000,000 to be used in the en
dowment of the university
chair.’’
f WINTER WORK THE BIG
NEED OF ALASKA
Alaska will never retain it^
.population or acquire any
! Wealth until it provides winter
S jobs for its working men. In
too many instances a man will
| come to Alaska and work thru
the summer, only t«r‘find that
if he would live through the
[winter ho raa„t go to the states
[for employment.
As the working man is the
producer of all the wealth of a
community, it stands to reason
that he should be provided
with an opportunity to labor in
case he desires. There is no
money made in working a few
months and being forced to
lay up all winter.—Seward
