BOSTON MAKES STRONG PLEA
FOR NEEDS OF ALASKA
THAT this territory is fast coming into its own is being
recognized by the leading newspapers of the United
States, practically all of which are strong in advocacy of
a couple of years ago in favor of conserving our resources.
From a recent copy of tin* Boston Sunday Post the following
editorial is taken, which shows the trend of the press on the
outside in relation to this great empire:
“Added realization of the enormous wealth of Alaska,
and the still urgent need of that country for adequate develop
ment by the United States, is brought home by tin* report just
tendered Secretary Lane by Governor John F. A. Strong. In
the year past the white population of Alaska increased 3,000,
yet in the same year the total value of the mineral output, or
$10,470,336, and of the results of the fishing industry, or $15,
730, 06H, was less by some thousands than in the year previous.
“Mining activities, says the governor, have suffered tem
porarily by the European war, which cut off certain foreign
supplies- He earnestly recommends that the government
take measures to supply this new need, which could be met
easily in this country. There is also lack of an adequate
supply of coal for the mines, but this the government railroads,
now being installed, are expected to remedy, since the vast
and hitherto untouched coal fields of the interior will now be
open to development. But the Governor points out that un
less, in addition to the new railroads, a large additional appro
priation for the development of roads and trails be forthcom
ing, the steel tracks will serve only half of their purpose.
“As for the fisheries, the decline in the value of their
products for a year is ascribed in part, at least, to the fact
that insufficient salaries are paid, and an insufficient number
of men employed, to guard the waters and conserve their popu
lation. The health of the white population of Alaska contin
ues to be excellent, but there is great need of the natives being
instructed in scientific principles of sanitation and hygiene,
for tuberculosis and other malignant diseases are doing away
with large numbers. There are in Alaska at least 50,000,000
acres of land that is rich and excellent for agricultural pur
poses, and as many more million of acres just as available
for cattle raising only awaiting development.
“Is not the moral of all this that charity begins at home,
and that even in the face of great openings for American trade
thrust upon us by the war the home government can well afford
to pay attention also to the energetic development of our own
internal resources.”

THE PEOPLE’S CONFIDENCE
IN THE MAN ON THE BRIDGE
_ *_
S PRESIDENT Wilson sees a bright future for this
country, so the country sees it. He not only speaks
— confidence, but he begets confidence. He indeed has
the ear of his countrymen. There is a feeling everywhere
among unbiased people that the man at the helm has not only
the course, but he knows how to hold the ship of state to
that course.
The President well says: “We are all in the same boat
though apparently we had forgotten it; we now know the
port for which we are bound ”
This country of ours is rich in thinking men, who cleverly
present their views and express their convictions. But there
is not one among all of them who can command the attention
that the President commands, or whose opinions are so read
il yabsorbed by the people. These men may indeed be proph
ets of the first order, but with the people they are not Presi
dent Wilson. He has won in these opening years of his admin
istration the feeling of the people that he neither talks or
writes without the most patriotic motives, thorough investi
gation and sun* reasoning.
With inauguration day he began his campaign to put
into the laws of the country enactments that very many of
his countrymen believed too drastic, but steadfastly he ad
hered to his determination to bring about several great re
forms, and he astounded statesmen by the teamwork he se
cured in the House and Senate through his very personality,
his clearness of vision and his concise and intelligent opinions.
He offered enough of work to keep two Congresses busy, and
yet he secured their passage in the long session of one Congress.
President Wilson awaits “a future clear and bright, with
promise of the best things.” In this one sentence he dispels
gloom and routs the pessimists. The whole country will per
sist in seeing this rainbow of prosperity with all the colorings
President Wilson has painted in his delightful and expressive
English.
President Wilson announces there is a great prosperity
coming, busy marts, a great mercantile navy flaunting the
stars and stripes, money for every legitimate enterprise, rea
sonable credit for men of progress and ideas, incentives for
great enterprises of national worth, work for all men who de
serve work and have persistency and will to do the things
worthy of themselves, their families and their country.
-:o:
THE Japanese boys contributed considerable novel talent
to the entertainment given last night as a benefit for the Cordo
va Baseball Park Association, and their efforts were thorough
ly enjoyed and appreciated by the large audience that turned
out principally to assist a worthy cause, but who in reality
witnessed one of the best home talent programs that has ever
been given in Cordova.

THE reading public is quick to appreciate the telegraphic
service the Daily Times is furnishing, judging from the num
ber of subscribers enrolled during the first week of Cordova’s
new afternoon paper.
