From reports at hand, it looks like
an attempt was about to be made to
bring into the territory returning sol
diers from overseas in an endeavor to
populate and develop the country. The
idea is good and the proposition
should be encouraged, especially if we
bring, those who volunteered theiry
services at the front. There are in
numerable opportunities here, but
none of the “feather bed” kind. They
all demand grit, backbone and a
strong determination. The kind that
was part of the making of the sol
diers, who were prompt in answering
the call of their country. The faint
hearted kind soon find discourage
ment and quit, leaving a trail of dis
appointment that reflects and retards
the development of the country’s re
sources. • Let the federal government
give these strong-hearted boys a little
encouragement and Alaska will soon
show to the world what men with
backbone can do.—Ketchikan Miner.
