PRICKING POINDEXTER’S BUBBLE
The suggestion is made by a Seattle
Bewspaper that the delegates from
Alaska to the Republican convention
at Chicago support the presidential
I
candidacy of United States Senator
Miles, Poindexter, and thus show ap
preciation to the state of Washington
for the splendid aid that has been
given Alaska by the delegation from
that state in congress. Theoretically,
this sounds reasonable, and jf the can
didate were some other person than
Poindexter there would be no good rea
son why the Alaska delegates to a
national convention should not cast
a complimentary vote for him. But
we fail to see wherein Poindexter is
. entitled to any such consideration.
He accompanied Pinchot on his trip to
Alaska when that pinhead conserva
tionist was doing all in his power to
retard the development of Alaska.
Poindexter was chasing the same fad
and was an able champion of Pinchot’s
effort to tie up the resources of this
territory.
Both of these faddists visited Cor
dova, and as the Daily Times is famil
iar with the tactics adopted by them
to keep Alaska from being developed,
it is unalterably opposed to this ter
ritory lending its aid or being a party
in any way toward boosting the candi
dacy of a man whom it considers to
tally unfit for the presidency, simply
for sentimental reasons—which do not
and should not exist.
A PROSPECTIVE INDUSTRY
In last week’s issue of The Dis
Alaska forest reserves, and the red
well-written article from the pen of
Mr. George R. Vause, which told of
the great paper-making plant, and
the possibilities for like iindustries in
the territory of Alaska. This big
British Columbia industry, financed
by American capital, sought a site
for its huge enterprise in Alaska
hut due to the difficulties attendant
ir. securing the necessary timber in
Alaska forest reserves, and th e red
tape incident thereto, the promoters
of the enterprise decided to locate
the establishment in British Colum
bia. Thus, an immense enterprise
entailing an initial outlay of some
$>7,000,000, and with a daily payroll
aggregating $5,000, was lost to the
jerritory of Maska.
With this costly lesson before
them, the people of Alaska should
begin to sit up and take notice. They
should make diligent inquiry as to
why such big, helpful industries, that
prefer to establish their enterprises
in Alaska, are driven to a foreign j
country to make their investments, j
because of the fact that practically!
all the timber lands of the territory j
are within the confines of national
forest reserves, with the consequent
difficulties in securing it for com
mercial purposes.
Mr. Vause points out that there
are vast timber reserves in South-!
eastern and Central Alaska adapted
te the paper making industry, and
suitable for practically no other pur
pose. He deals especially Avith the
great Susitna valley, with its vast
acreage of cottonwoods and its ade
quate water power resources.
Timber for making paper is year
ly growing scarcer and scarcer with
in the confines of the United States
proper. Timbers grown in the states
are adapted for other commercial
purposes. True conservation suggests
that timbers not suitable for any
other purpose should be employed in
the paper-making industry and that
timbers adapted to other purposes
he conserved for these purposes.
Alaska presents the ideal location
for great paper making industries.
The native product is there in abun
dance; water power for the» opera
ation of the huge plants is available.

Fifteen Years May Be Added to the
Average American Term of Life.
By DR. W. J. MAYO, American College of Surgeons.
( . . - - ,1. __
Fifteen vears has been added to the average length of human life in
the United States of America since the Civil war. In the work of the
medical profession lies the best hope for the future.
With our present knowledge mid under present conditions fifteen
years more might be added to the life of man in this country within the
next twenty years. It is certain that ten years will be added at the most
productive age from the standpoint of industry and will greatly aid in
maintaining our position as the most productive nation.
When I was a boy it was difficult for a man of 40 to find a new job,
and for a man of 50 it was practically impossible. Today the older men
are great assets to the country. In the prolongation of their lives their
skill and experience in their particular work counts for much. They are
less inflammable; they have family ties and responsibilities; they have
something to lose; so that they are less under the influence of the violent
agitator.
If, as a nation, we advance the time of production for each person
ten years we can well afford to shorten hours of work and improve living
conditions. - We shall be able to compete with those countries in which
long hours and poor living conditions shorten human life and eventually
decrease production and increase social unrest.
