FARMING NEAR JUNEAU.
(Juneau Dispatch)
' “When I make my pile I will go
outside and farm,” is often heard in
Alaska. Many of these are still wait
i ing to make their pile. Others, how
| ever, are making tneir “pile” by farm
ing in Alaska. And they have no de
: sire to go elsewhere. They find farm
life both pleasant and profitable.
I Near Juneau are evidences of this
fact. Along the Salmon crek road are
(dairy and chicken ranches which will
1 compare favorably with the best and
I most modem on the outside. In some
instances scientific methods are being
! employed and a model farming com
munity is developing just without the
city of Juneau.

STATEHOOD AND POLITICS.
(Petersburg Report)
The platform adopted by the Sew
ard convention demands statehood for
Alaska.
I There are many obstacles in the
way of getting statehood for Alaska,
and there is small chance of Alaska
becoming a state until some time in
the dim future.
One of these obstacles is that same
Seward convention.
So long as one man or one little
clique is able to absolutely dominate
and control the actions of the con
vention supposedly representative of
one of the two principal political par
ties, the less such conventions have to
do the better it will be for the peo
ple of Alaska.
MORNINGSIDE.
(Skagway Alaskan)
A thorn in the side of all true Alas
kans—Momingside. Those who stand
for and believe in Alaskan institu
tions for Alaskans, manned by men
of our own territory who know the
conditions through the past experi
I ence are better fitted to cope with our
conditions than people who have the
outside intelligence about the condi
tions that exist in Alaska. The logi
cal place for a sanitarium for the care
of the insane in Alaska is in Alaska
and not in the states.
HEADED FOR ALASKA.
(Juneau Dispatch)
An Associated Press item to the
Dispatch says that much more house
hold goods than usual are being ship-1
ped to Alaska and these indicate that
the population is in creasing. This is
true. Moreover, the population now
coming to Alaska is of the perma
nent kind. The people are not most
. ly stampeders looking for placer
mines with a view of making a quick
stake and leaving. They are large
ly earnest men and women who desire
to better their conditions, who realize
that there are many opportunities in
a great undeveloped country like
Alaska and who want to become im
portant factors in empire building.
ALL COMEDY AT THE
EMPRESS SHOW TONIGHT
Complying with demands of Satur
day evening audiences, an all-comedy,
five-in-one show will be the program
at the Empress this evening. Follow
ing the Pathe News, “Ham at the
Garbage Gentleman’s Ball,” “The Fa
ble of the Statesman Who Didn’t
Make Good,” “Canimated Nooz Pic
torial,” and “Through the Canadian
Rockies,” (in same reel), “Mabel’s
] Wilful Way,” and “The Rent Jump
ers” complete this very interesting
and enjoyable evening of fun.
The favorite American actor, Dus
tin Farnum, in a magnificent picturi
zation of the popular novel and fam
ous play “The Virginian,” will be the
feature at the Empress theatre Sun
day and Monday evenings, August 6
and 7.
With Mr. Farnum, the eminent dra
matic star, in the principal role, an
other photoplay of the great outdoors
with many beautiful scenes and inter
esting situations, “The Virginian” full
of surprises, abounding with quick ac
tion and tense moments, a living fic
tion monument to the west that was,
is sure to satisfy the Sunday evening
critical audience. The story is excit
ing, full of adventure and thoroughly
absorbing. The always-added inter
esting feature, Pathe News, will be
shown first.
