ALASKA LOSES A FRIEND
The retirement of Secretary of th
Interior Franklin K. Lane from th
cabinet of President Wilson will r<
more from a position of helpful ir
fluence a man who has shown himsel
to be sincerely interested in Alask;
development and constantly on tin
alert for opportunities to assist ii
Northern progress. He was firs
among the President’s advisers to cal
attention to the superfluity of red tapi
in all matters pertaining to the ad
ministration of Alaskan affairs, am
during the time that he has been a
the head of the interior departmen
he has given the question much pub
licity in his efforts to eliminate hurt
ful restrictions and straighten out tin
tangle of bureau control at Washing
ton. He has accomplished much. an<
would have continued to be a help ti
Alaska had he remained longer a mem
her of the President’s official family
Secretary Lane knew something o
Alaska before his appointment, and hi
made it his business to learn a grea
deal more as soon as he assume!
charge of the interior department. A
the very outset he realized the vas
importance of the territory as a lan<
rich in natural resources; and like
wise, he was quick to perceive the ot
stacles in the way of territorial de
velopment and as quick to recommem
reforms, for which he has campaignei
persistently throughout the sevei
years he has served as secretary.
One of the first recommendation
made by Secretary Lane, in a repor
submitted to the President sevei
years ago. was that the governmen
undertake the building of a railroai
from tidewater to the navigable riv
ers of Interior Alaska; and he ha
been in charge of that work since it
start. It was believed by the secre
tary that such an enterprise would ex
pedite development in Alaska, and hi
is of the opinion still that the railroai
is a development project fully justi
fied by the promise of increased pop
ulation, the settlement of farminj
lands, and the development of min
eral resources on a scale hitherto im
nossible.
The regret is that Secretary Lam
will not now be able to carry on ti
completion the work which he ha
started in Alaska—the danger tha
someone less interested in the futur
of Alaska will be selected to succeei
him, with a consequent loss of influ
ence at Washington and a slowini
down of helpful governmental activit;
in the territory.
Perhaps we will find a friend in Sec
retary Lane’s successor, but howeve
friendly he may be, there is mud
that a new secretary, whoever he ma;
be, must learn about the territory be
fore he can make requests for Alask
aids in the intelligent manner in whic
similar requests have been presente
by Secretary Lane.
Under the circumstances Alaska i
very fortunate in having Mr. McPhe
son in Washington as a special repr<
sentative of the Alaskan engineerin
commission and spokesman for the ii
fluential Alaska bureau of the Seattl
Chamber of Commerce. His sem
official connection with the interior d<
partment puts him in close touch wit
congress and the various department
which share in the control of Alask
affairs, and his thorough knowledg
of Northern conditions makes it po
sible for him to speak for Alaska wit
authority and conviction.—Nenan

It Is a Wise Golfing Community That
Recognizes Its Junior Golfers
By CHARLES EVANS, Jr., Former American Amateur Champion
[L_
To every one with the best interests of golf at heart it is gratifying
, to note that many of the clubs in the Chicago golf district have been hold
ing junior championships, and that the scores in these events have beer
very good, it is a wise golfing community that recognizes the fact thal
these junior golfers are our future champions and upon their proper train
ing depends the future of the game. Nothing develops a boy's garm
faster and better than tournament competition, and it also brings about
a wholesome acquaintance among the sons of members.
The fine work of the youngsters at Pittsburgh shows us what they car
do when given the opportunity, and it ought to stimulate all golf clubs tc
a careful provision of ways and means for the boys’ tournaments. Chi
cago clubs have been very generous this year, and I can only suggest that
we ought to have a western intercollegiate championship. It is the young
college men of the East who are doing part of the good juvenile golf work
this year. 1 think the Chicago District Golf association, whose good work
is well known, could well manage to hold a junior championship next year.
There is one warning I give to the junior golfer: More promising
golf careers have been ruined by conceit than anything else. Therefore
cultivate a certain humility of spirit with your golf. Remember that youi
elders who are sustaining the courses and providing means for you to play,
deserve consideration. See that you never fail to grant it.
