WANTS AN ALASKA REPUBLIC j
Front Seattle Times
\s a former resident of Alaska,
' okagway, and Whitehorse, (Y.T.i,
! 1 iiave given a great deal of thot to
the handicap which exists to the pro
per development of Alaska, the Yu
1 I,on and part of the Atlin district
'of British Columbia, and have come
to the conclusion that the only teas
ible plan is for these countries to
on united into a republic to assist
them in their development by
granting them subsidies in consid
eration of tariff privileges.
If a republic was formed, the de
velopment., in my opinion, would be
phenomenal, as a railway made a<
ITaines in the north of the panhan
dle would become a desideratum, to
open up communication with the
center of Alaska, as no other point
is equal to it for that purpose. In
reach Anchorage tafesstl
less time than it takes a steamer to
reach Anchorage from Juneau.
Haines being a free port all th 3
year around would become an im
portant point for the shipment oi
ore from the Yukon for the same
rea\ on.
The Yukon and the Atlin territory
as part of the proposed republic
would then have a port of entry at
Skngway, by reason of which thaf
port would become the Yukon and
Atlin center for manufacturing and
wholesale business; it would also
be the same for Alaska.
If it is possible to connect Atlin
and Juneau by motor road, both
ihese points would benefit consider
ably, not only by ordinary business
but also by tourist business, as :
would then be possible for tourists
to make trips to Atlin via Skagway
ar.l Juneau, and vice versa, viewing
the wonderful glaciers enroute.
The panhandle, which has no hin
terland, and in consequence very
much hadicapped, would by takiug
in that part of Atlin district bound
ed by the Stikine River and Tesli.i
Luke, add to its territory and give
Juneau and other points on the pan
handle opportunities for increased
business.
The mineral deposits of the pro
posed republic are well known and
are second to none on the continent
of America, and besides those whico
now exist, many other big mines
would assuredly be developed and
equal any now operating elsewhere.
Hoping that this plan w'ill receive
due consideration and help towards
Ihe uniting of Alaska, the Yukon
and part of the Atlin district of Brit
ish Columbia into a republic.

APPROVES NEGRO MEMORIAE
President . Coolidge must be a
“black Republican for on the 8th
of June he approved the construc
tion in Washington, of a memorial
building, costing not less than $500,
j 000, “as a tribute to the negro's
contribution to the achievements of
America.”
Authorization of the m
by Congress and its approval by the
president realizes a long ambition of
negro leaders. The building will
contain a hall of fame, art and mus
is rooms, a library, a museum and an
auditorium to seat 4,000. i
Members of the negro race plan
to ’"aise funds for this project thru
subscriptions; the federal govern
m jilt will provide the land and su

DO YOU KNOW?
At a recent meeting of the na
tions leading mammalogists at the
national museum, Washington for
th*'-r annual convention, they made
great display of their knowledge—
from A to Z, but they were stump
ed by a simple question coming
from an old whaler. The question
was “Why does a whale stand on its j
tail?”
And none of the scientists could
tell why, though they all seemed to j
have scads of ‘scientific” konwledge j
bout whales. j
GOOD STUNT FOR A. A. O.
During the past year ,the Colum
bia University of New York, loaned
$77,000 to its students and thereby
enabled many of them to complete
tl’eir college education. Loans are
mt de from the fund for a period of
one year, subject to renewal upo;i
payment of interest.
In this Division the much damned
Alaska Native Brotherhood has a
school fund which is drawn upon
by Native students in need of help
to carry or their education. This
loan is made under direction of a
committee of “unscrupulous lead
en/’ whose every effort is toward
the development of the highest type
of citizens.
Can Messrs. Troy and Morrissey
say as much?

posal of marriage nowadays, it’s th.
man. He’s terrible surprised. Ho
