Prosperity
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 prosperi
<y 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 Prosperity
It il the sonstant aim of The Alaska Railroad to at all times
render such service as will best serve the citisens of the entire
Territory.

NOT SO PROFITABLE
From time to time reports come
I oat of the north to the effect that
■ the natives are not profiting so
! much by reindeer prpogation as is
! indicated in many reports of the Bi
ological Survey. These reports were
recently denied by J. H. Wagner,
Chief of the Alaska Division. (Bu
reau of Education. ) Be that as it
it may, the fact stands out promi
nently that the logical place for na
tive herds is along the Alaska Rail
road. The increased price alone
warrants the consideration of sug
gestions offered by men who claim
to be familiar with the reindeer
industry. In addition, the herds
would provide an appreciable mea
sure of business for the Alaska Rail*
road. During the past year approx
imately a half million pounds of
reindeer meat was shippedfrom Alas
ka. practically all of which came
from the Seward peninsula and the
major portion from one big com
pany. As the reindeer industry was
tstablished for the benefit of the na
tive, it would appear logical that
the Bureau should take advantage
of the big range in Broad Pass and
the railroad to give the native herds
better opportunity for revenue. —
Anchorage Times.
Traffic devtloped for the Alaska
railroad, regardless of whether it
be thru native reindeer herds or
herds owned by others will benefit
owner as well as railroad. The ar
gument set forth by the Times is '
one that should not be overlooked
In other Divisions. The develop
ment of the Native population,
a-actemically and economically, is
to give added wealth to the Terri
tory.

There’s This “Human

A 'very human one, we think—here in the West—to Union Non
detonating Gasoline and Aristo Motor Oil. And we believe diet
you’ll be interested in it
YOU, probably, don’t think much
about the gasoline and oil you use.
You buy a good grade. One makes your
motor go. The other lubricates it. You
don’t check up very accurately on mile
age or on costs. You simply get “ten
gallons” or “a quart,” and off you go.
It’s rather impersonal.
♦ * * •
And yet a gallon of gasoline and •
quart of oil are chock-full of personality!
There is the personality of those ex
tremely human beings who are intensely

If it be by but a shade—and there are
people like that in oil companies, just as
you may be Hke that in the business you
are in.
Speaking for this Company, we can
•ay that we have hundreds of them—
all vibrant personalities and all eager to
excel. For when they do excel they rise,
and are promoted, and their wives, then
children and their friends are proud of
You know what it
means. It isn't extra
money in a salary raise or
a large income that you
enjoy so much. It is the
achievement of which the
money is the evidence, and

that.
So it is with “Union

Red Cross Report
The report ofthe Red Cross or
ganization for the year ending June
30 is given as folows:
“Red Cross Chapters generally
have been increasingly vigorous in
perfecting strong, alert disaster re
lief committees,’’ and consequently
a very large portion of the United
States is covered with this disaster
preparedness plan. With unfailing
accuracy and speed these chapter
committees have moved into action
when disaster has struck their com
munities. Chapters are studying
their local disaster hazards more
carefully."
Curing the past year the Red
Cross participated in ninety dis
asters, sixty-two of which were
within the United States. The work
of rehabilitating areas visited by
disaster has been under the Red
Cross. The Alaska Towns of Kake
and Douglas might be pointed to as
examples of the kind of work that
the organization is doing.
In the United States the organi
zation spent $3,871,827 during the
yeat,$229,000 of which was furnish
ed by Rer Cross Chapters. $53,07g.
was spent for foreign work.
The total amount spent for disas
ter. including a midwestern tornado
which left 800 homeless amounted
to $3,297,537.
The present roll call in Peters
burg should be given the hearty sup
port of every citizen whereby the
woi k of the organization may be
broadened in every way possible.

SOME DRIFTING
Among bottles drifting in ocean
currents which were recently pick
ed up and reported to the Hydro
graphic Office of the Navy Depart
ment is one that apparently drifted
1,160 miles in two months, while
another took more than three years
for a drift of 730 miles .
That’s a lot farther than some
bottles have drifted in Alaska.
MIGHT’VE BEEN PETERSBURG
A dispatch from Duluth says:
George E. Lewis, who says he is an
AKiskan author, declared here that
he owns a $7,000 automobile which
he drives along a private roadway
200 yards long to his outlying home.
From the size of the appropria
tion made for the repair and up
keep of the Petersburg roads this
year Lewis might have had his home
in Petersburg. One hundred and
futy dollars cannot repair much
more than 200 yards of road.

. MINE FAILURE EXPLAINED .
J. E. Chilberg, former president
of the defunct Scandinavian-Ameri"^
can bank explained to his friends
in Seattle recently the reason for
the failure of his palladium mine
at Salt Chuck near Ketchikan. He
declared that a reduction in the
price of palladium to $30 an ounce
forced him to close the mine.
"When the mine closed^ recently
the Ketchikan Commercial Club had
to take steps to house and feed the
men from this mine, some of whom
had as much as $1,400 due them.
In the first place the mine was
[operating on a shoe string capital
and holding the miners off until the
day when wages could be paid. The
day never came. In the second
place the mineral was not there in
paying quantities. In the third
place wages due miners two years
ago Indicated that the mine was a
losing proposition.
