“PEACE ON EARTH”
ALASKA NEEDS II
POLICE
That Alaska's greatest need at pres
ent Is construction, not obstruction, at
Washington, D. C., and that provision
(or the appointment of an assistant
secretary of the interior residing in
Alaska should be made, were among
the striking statements made by Col.
John A. Sleicher, president of the Les
lie-Judge Company who recently made
a trip to Southwestern Alaska.
"Alaska is a land of magnificent
distances and every section naturally
seeks development before any other.
This Is all right. Fair competition
does good, not harm, but there is room
for everybody in Alaska and the
blighting effect of sectional jealousies
should not gain a foothold there.
"Secondly, Alaska should not only
send out photographs of Its wonderful
glaciers, the most remarkable in the
world, and its snow-capped mountains,
its dog sleds and icebergs. It should
do what the Swiss mountaineers al-l
ways do, accompany the pictures of J
icy peaks with photographs of green j
pastures and lofty timber and the
enormous potatoes, turnips and other
root crops that flourish so amazingly'
In Its rich soil
“Thirdly, stop the tendency to muck
raking and trust busting. What good
have they done? Is any poor man
richer? Is the cost of living lower?
Has Alaska grown?
“If not, turn over a new leaf. Wel
come the railroads, extend both hands
to the captains of industry; give capi
tal and labor a free and open market.
Don’t begrudge either the most gen
erous returns. If capital can do better
elsewhere, it will leave; so will labor,
but it cannot move as readily as capi
tal and is the greater sufferer when
oppresive laws drive capital out.
"Fourth. Alaska should have laws
that will attract and not repel the man
with money—the man who wants to
go into business, whether he be a big
man or a little man. If the big man
cannot find an investment profitable In
Alaska then surely the little man can
not.
“Alaska will learn by experience. It
is learning. It is a territory of toilers,
with no idlers or tramps. Providence
has blest is with inestimable natural
wealth. The harvest is getting ready
for the husbandman. Let Alaska's
doors be open to him and in another
decade all will be transformed.
“Just now its greatest need is con
struction instead of obstfuctiqn at
Washington. If Alaska doeB not get
what it wants from a Democratic ad
ministration, it will get it from a Re
publican administration after the next
election. '
"My suggestion for the relief and de
velopment of Alaska is a provision for
the appointment of an assistant or dep
uty secretary of the interior to reside
in Alaska—someone thoroughly famil
iar with its conditions and require
ments, who shall have plenary author
ity to issue mineral and land grants,
subject of course to the approval of
the secretary.
“From a scenic standpoint there is
nothing in the world to equal the
Alaskan trip and it is all made in com
plete comfort. The tourist travel to
Alaska will grow by leaps and
bounds.”

PATENT APPLICATIONS
NOT FILED IN TIME
The Juneau land office has received
notification from the commissioner of
the general land office to cancel the
coal claim of Newland H. Smith, in
the Bering River field, on account of
his failure to file his application for
patent.
The law grants three years to de
velop the claim and to file application
for final patent. Smith failed to do
this in the time required and the order
for cancellation was issued.
