AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
The interjection of the Daly
A laska M'nes Company into
the much tangled Soule Glacier
River power development pro
posal provides an interesting
and wholly unexpected situat
ion. A Khough apparently com
plicating an already involved
state of affairs resulting from
the failure of the present per
mit holders to adjust their per
sonal differences, in reality
the action of the mining com
pany will probably result in
nothing more detrimental to
the w l"are of that overwhelm
ingly important project than z
temporary delay in its realizat
ion.
Now that the power proposal
has reached a stage where its
commercial potentialities are
demon trable, the Federal
Power Commission will scarce
1’ nermit the water power to
!;e idle pending the settlement
cc private difficulties when
others are ready and willing
to proceed with its develop
ment.
It is indeed regrettable that
affairs should have taken the
torn they have. The present
permit holders have invested
their time and money in good
faith and are entitled to the
fullest possible benefits from
their efforts to make the power
project a reality. The fact re
mains. however, that the com*
munity, to which the develop
ment of the latent water pow
er represents a vastly greater
benefit than any other likely
to appear in a long period of
time, is also entitled to consid
eration in the matter.
Every day that the project is
delayed represents a distinct
loss and injury to the mining
industry and the community at
large and that it should be per
mitted to fail or lie idle be
cause of purely personal mat
ters whfle others are waiting u>
bring it to fulfillment is un
thinkable.
Deeply as we mus$ deplore
the inability of the permit
holders to work together apd
in so doing reap the rewards
of their labors, it is hardly
fair that their inharsnony
should be permitted to become
a stumbling block to those who
art »hl% **td willing to go
ahead with fee project.
Although the Alaska of today j
is blessed with an abundance
of timber, the time is not far j
away, as the years of men are |
measured, when the ever in
creasing demands of civilizat-1
in will bring about a day when ;
timber will be scarce and the
noble forests of the present j
gone. This eventuality can be
prevented only through the
adoption of preventive meas-!
ures, not in the distant future j
but now—today, tomorrow, j
and every other day. In the
words of President Coolidge:
“Our forests ought to be put
to work and kept at work. I
do not minimize the obstacles
that have to be met, nor the j
difficulty of changing old!
ideas and practices. We must
all put our hands to this com- \
mon task. It-is not enough that
the Federal, State, and local
governments must take the
lead. There must be a change j
in our naional attitude; Our!
industries, our landowners, our j
farmers, all our citizens must
learn to treat our forests as \
crops, to be used but also to be
renewed. We must learn to
tend our woodlands as care
fully as we tend our farms.”
-o
We are satisfied that the I
major portion of the little and j
big troubles that come to us i
are the result' of misunder- \
standings.
You do something we do not!
understand, and we immedi- J
ately charge you with being
“crooked,” or if we are inclin- j
ed to be halfway fair about it,1
we at least ascribe to you
wro.ng motives.
Most of us should make a
rule, and make a determined
effort to live up to it-never to i
charge anybddy with anything;
until we thoroughly under-;
stand the situation,
j Then if anything happens
that seems to us to be wrong, I
we should go to see the party
personally if possible and talk
it over, but if the distance is
too great for personal contact,
we should write him and jjjvf
him an opportunity to explain
before we fly off the track
and undoubtedly lose a person
al or businew* friend.
Most misunderstandings be
tween our fellow men and our
selves are due to our foolish
reluctance to say to the other
fellow: “Say, Bill, what do you
mean?”

The common or garden van
ity of householder is now com
ing into his own. Others may
shine in the various other seas
ons, but when April comes, j
with its promise of May, June,
then the man who knows how
to do things around the yard
becomes a citizen of para
mount importance. You may
know a great deal about stocks
ind bonds, but what do you
know about seeds and bulbs?
You may know much about
i straight business policy, but
io you know anything about
planting a vegetable patch? If
pou cannot manipulate a hoe
in the spring-time, of what
avail is it to you as a citizen
that you can pilot a straight
eight? But if you can make
two potatoes grow where none
grew' before, or can induce a
green onion to bob itself above
the greensward where before
was only grass, you are entit
led to the distinguished serv
ice cross of domesticity.
Plant a garden.

Entry of women into new |
fields of work in recent years :
is reflected in the records of|
civil service emplyment where
they now hold many situations
for which they barely were
considered in the past, says a
statment by the Civil Service
Commission.
While until recent years “it
was difficult to visualize a
woman employe of the govern
ment in other than clerical or
stenographic position” the stat
ment said, “an increasing num
ber are now being employed
in the fields of chemistry, phys-!
ics and other scientific work, '
in addition to teaching, nursing
and social work.”

Just For Fun
Any patriot can love his
country: the hard part is to
love the people in it.
It will soon be time to start

Middle class: Those who use
the butter knife when com
pany comes.
The radio “expert” like most
other experts, doesn’t know a
darn thing about it.
Correct this sentence: “Yes,
it’s forty-two,” said the clerk
“but it makes you look girlish.”
We wonder what the char
acter experts thought of the
handwriting on the wall.
Druggist (to his stout wife)
“Don’t come into the shop for
a minute. I am trying to sell
six bottles of my^ fat-reducing
mixture.”
Answer to "Do you love me?”
First year, “So much darl
ing.” Second year,"Of course I
do.” Third year, "yeah.”
Did you ever notice how
particular a girl is about flick
ing the dust off her dress when
she has on a new diamond •
ring?
The average editor begins by
trying to reform the world
with weighty editorials; he
ends by deciding that it isn’t
worth reforming.
A New York man had the tel
ephone company send a man
to fix his phone. He got the
right number twice in one day
and thought something must
be wrong with , the machine.
Here are softie of the fish out
of water that we run across.
Elfish, selfish, wolfish, poor
fish, standoffish.
• Here are some fits we are all
subject to:
Befit, benefit, hadafit, misfit,
surefit, roughit.
“ Girls have the right to dress
as they please,”
A maiden announced With
vigor.
“But some of them lack the
nerve,” I said,
And some of them lack the
figure.”
Now, don’t blame the editor
fori this; Earl did it.
“Is Mr Hansen courting
you?”
"Not exactly, yet. But he is
approaching it step by step.
When he first called he sat
all evening with the album in
his lap. Next time he took my
little brother in his lap. So, you
see, I hope it will soon be my
turn!”
Can you remember when a
man could get a good lunch,
have his shoes shined, buy a
good free-smoking cigar, take
his wife some flowers and the
kids some candy, and still have
money left of a dollar bill?
