, LESLIE’S STILL TALKING ALASKA;
Leslie’s Weekly for August 28th de-1
votes a page of illustrations to Alas-!
ka, and the captions of the pictures;
are illustrative of its attitude toward
Alaskan development. It shows while
Alaska is twelve times the size of
New York it contains but some 30,
000 population because of the lock
ing up of the territory’s resources
in obedience to the demands of Pin
chotism in 1906. It says, with the
opening of Alaska’s resources and the
extension of aid to the settlers sim
ilar to that which Canada offers,
Alaska would become a land of farms
and homes. In support of this con
contention it prints pictures of farm
scenes and agricultural products. It
presents a picture of great veins of
Nenana coal, and calls attention to
the circumstance that Alaska buys
her coal from British Columbia. A
forest scene is printed, and with it
the declaration that they would solve j
the paper shortage if it were not for
the manner in which they have been
tied up.
Of course, it is only fair to add that
the government is now making con
tracts for the sale of timber that
seems to be attractive to those who
desire to manufacture paper or to use
the timber for lumber. The coal
leases that are now offered have been
also, taken in a few instances by
those desiring to develop them.—Ex.

Through your efforts the Bureau of I
_ I
Fisheries will hold a hearing at Cordova
to determine what steps, if any, are neces
sary to protect the red salmon of the Cop
I
per river from extinction. j
r I
It is up to you to see that any informa
i
tion showing the cause of the rapidly de
creasing salmon run or the depletion of
the spawning ground is brought before the
committee on the fifth of October.
Alaska was once the great breeding
ground of the sea otter.
How many of them are left?
♦
Many canneries of Southeastern Alas
ka are falling into decay for lack of fish.
Do you want Cordova to be in a like
situation? Do you want your fishing fleet
v and nets to rot in disuse?
This is your cause. A few sensible reg
ulations now will save a lot of sorrow in
future.

BREAKING AWAY FROM HABIT
Habit, the stern taskmaster, makes women old before their
time. Because of habit, we all do work that could be done as weii
and as cheaply by others.
Many woman have their washing done at home because of
habit—the old tradition that it can be done better and more cheaply
than in a modern laundry.
| But facts are not in accord with this old belief. The scientific
manner in which clothes are now washed and sterilized in a mod
ern laundry such as ours, not only produces superior work, but
| actually saves you money when time, material and fuel are con
sidered.
Every week, more women are deciding that “Sending it to
Jones” is the efficient way-breaking away from the old habit
home washing, with its attendant backaches, w’orry and slush,
now devoting this time to reading, walking, shopping or sew
ing.
