The prosperity of any community depends very largely upon the
ooperation manifested by the many individuals and institu
tions forming the community. There can be no lasting prosper!
iy or genuine progress in the life of any community without
honest cooperation between all elements that in any way affect
the common welfare.
So it is with Alaska. No one section of this great land can
prosper for long at the expense of any other section; all construc
tive efforts must be so coordinated that but one outcome will re
sult—Cooperation; and Cooperation means Prosperitl.
It is the constant aim of The Alaska Railroad to at all times
render such service as will best serve the citizens of the entire
Territory.

THE HELPING'HAND
Nipawin, Sask.-Indians ended
160 mile dog team Journey here
bringing W. H. Williams, a trapper
and prospector, whom they found in
a cabin near death from hunger and
exposure. Williams left here six
months ago in a canoe and became
lost. He was unable to speak
when found. Recovery is expected.
Many such stories can be told of
lives of Pioneer’s in Alaska being
saved by Natives of Alaska In the
early days. And even these days
many a dark skinned helping hand
has reached out to help with no ex
pectation of reward and at times
not even appreciation expressed.
FIGURES ON PROHI CONTICTIN
Federal officials obtained convic
tions in 37,018 cases of violations
of the prohibition law in the fis
cal year ending last June 30, ac
cording to records made public by
*he Department of Justnce.
The Department’s figures show
ed also that fines and penalties col
lected amunted to $4,532,518, of ,
the total of $7,494,557 imposed by
the courts.
MORE POWER APPLICATIONS
Announcement was recently made
that the International Paper com
pany has filed application with the
federal power commission at Wash
ington, D. C. for all water power
sites on Revilla Island and for Oth
nr sites on the mainland hear
Ketchikan.
It will be reemmbered that the
Zellerbach Paper Company has on
file with the power commission ap
plication for these same sites. What
the result will be is problematical j
as both companies are financially
able to comply with all require
ments as might be set forth by the
commission.
ON WITH THE COMEDY
Harry Daugherty, former attor
ney general of the United States,
and Col. Thomas Miller, former rop
perty custodian, will be retried on j
an indictment charging that they
defrauded the United States of their
best services when they returned
enemy property which had been
seized during war.
Motion to dismiss the indict- j
meuts against the two men was re
fused by the federal court.
In a former case against these !
men, the jury disagreed.
Cordova postoffice passed the
$S,000 receipt quota and has join
ed the second class postal rank now
held by Ketchikan, Juneau and An
chorage. Perchance if Peters
burg got a $100,000 post office
building she might be able to push
receipts up and also join the sec
ond class rank.
