average In six years. It is well to
remember that this particular man
vas in debt something like a million
dollars in 1921, having but one can
nery at the time. Today he has
four canneries. In other words his
one and a half percent enabled him
to clear his indebtedness and to pur
chase three other canneries. What
would he have purchased had he
made six percent on his capital in
vested.
Another canneryman very active
before the legislature had his
apartments furnished with $40,000
worth of furniture. This man also
was something like a million dollars
in debt in 1921. So the story might
be continued with other stories of
reckless extravagance in the States
and a studied system of penurious
ness in Alaska.
The next big thing brought out
was the power of the political ma
chine in the hand of morphodite po
litical parties along with the en
trenched carpet bagger system. We
now speak of the defeated Controller
troller bill. We have racked our
poor little brains to see what val
id objection could be made to the
election of the Secretary of the Ter
ritory and the Treasurer along with
one other to direct the strictly Ter
AA4 iWWVVWVW!**!**!**!**!**!*
ritorial affairs but we hare not yet
found or heard a valid reason.
The outstanding feature of the
opposition to this bill being the fear
the political pewees have of the
elective power of the people of the
Territory.
The alignment as shown by the
working of the legislature being the
classes versus the masses to the dis
credit of peanut politicians who wor
ship at the feet of their god-Money,
and whose brains seem to be under
the hypnotic influence of a Federal
Brigade whose only aim it is to
hang to the fat appropriations of
the Territory and the Federal Gov
ernment at the same time.
The next legislature will demon
strate more clearly the growing de
mand for the greater consideration
of the interests of the residents of
the Territory.
Th press of the Territory being |
more considerate of the dollars of
the vested interests than the welfare
of those who make up the actual
population of the Territory.
The demand of the next election
will be for men who will vote on
i measures as a matter of principle
rather- thanfor the power of prin-,
cipal.

Prosperity '{■
The prosperity of any community depends very largely upon the
^operation manifested by the many individuals and institu
•una forming the community. T. here can be no lasting prosperi
or gehuine progress in the Hie 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
irosper for long at the expense of any other section; all eonstruc
vs efforts must be so coordinated that but one outcome will re
sult—Cooperation; and Cooperation means Prosperity
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.

SNIDER MURDER
The murders of Snyder of New
York, his wife Mrs. Ruth Snyder
and her paramour Henry Judd Gray
wore found guilty of first degree
murder by a jury of their peers
this week. In just about two
months from the time of the dast
ardly murder they have been brot
to justice. The sentence for first
degree murder in that State being
the death penalty. Plea for a new
trail being refused by the Court.,
The details of this unusually grue
some murder included picture wire,
binding and gagging, poisned
whiskey, taking turns at smashing
with a window weight, and an in
surance policy of $104,000. As
usual the victim of this brutal mur
der is the little daughter of the
murdered man.
The Alaska Railroad uses some
thing over 200,000 railroad ties ev
every year, the bulk of which are cut
fijom areas near the right of way,
according to officials of the forestry
service. This means the circula
which would b espent in Oregon and
Washington if our local timber were
destroyed. -Anchorage Times.
The reader’s attention is called
to the story of trap piling reprint
ed from Railroad and Marine News
and compare the benefits derived
by local loggers from the canners
and trap interests in the salmon
trap industry with those derived
from the Alaska Railroad.

FAIRBANKS MAN MURDERED
A murder of most grusome as
pect was disclosed when the body o*
Howard Ridnig, proprietor of tie
Chena roadhouse, was discovered
this morning, according to a report
reeuived at the Marshal’s office
here late this afternoon. The re
port was brought in by Martin L.
Nelson who stopped at the road
house enroute to town.
It was stated by Mr. Nelson that
he entered the roadhouse, which is
situated fourteen miles from town
on the little Chena trail, at 8:30
o’clock. He found Riding’s body in
a corner of the dining room of the
roadhouse, in the midst of a pool
of blood. The table was spattered
with blood, and the condition of the
room indicated a terrific struggle.
Mr. Nelson did not disturb the body
and so did not ascertain the nature
of the wounds.
The Marshal’s office has informa
tion that leads to suspicion of a
man who is known recently to have
been in the vicinity of Little Chena,
it is stated, and deputies are being
sent out in search of him. An in
quest, under Commissioner Mel R.
Boyle, will be held as soon as the
necessary personnel and witnesses
can be summoned.
Howard Riding, popularly known
as Slim, had conducted the Little
Chena roadhouse for several years
and was a frequent visitor in Fair
banks. His summers usually were
spent in logging, as he had engaged
in river drives of timber for the lo
cal mill since the early days of this
community.—News-Mner.
