PULL FOR PULP
Pulp and paper—those are the two
words heard more often in Alaska than
any others at the present time. They
have displaced in the vocabulary of
the Alaskans the words gold and cop
per as far as this section of the terri
tory is concerned.
That Alaska will one day be a great
paper producing country there is no
doubt. Many people attempt to enum
erate objections to Alaska—and in par
ticular this section of Alaska—as a
paper manufacturing center. Each
objection can be met with logic and
refuted.
The development of the industry
will require time and money, but it is
bound to come, bringing with it bet
ter times. The more diversified indus
tries any section has the more pros
perous it is. When Alaska gets thor
oughly established in the paper mak
ing business it will be on a solid
foundation with three great industries
—mining, fishing and paper manufac
turing. It will be a poor season in
deed when all three will fail.
So from now on let us think and
talk paper and pulp. By our own sin
cerity we can help create an atmos
phere of certainty that can not fail to
impress and to help. Pull for pulp;
plug for paper. They will surely
come.—Douglas News.
LEASING REINDEER PASTURE
Press dispatches announce that the
Hudson’s Bay Company has leased ex
tensive areas for pasturing reindeer
in Alaska. If the policy of the pres
. ent government is to lease large areas
of the territory to such concerns as
the Hudson’s Bay Company, we might
as well say “good night” to any
scheme looking to the development of
the territory for the small man.
Anyone familiar with the meat in
dustry is aware that it has been
through government aid that such im
mense trusts as P. Burns & Co., and
the Swift’s, Armour’s, Cudahy’s, etc.,
have gotten a strangle-hold on the
meat industry, and Alaskans will re
sent any attempt to parcel out the ter
ritory to such interests. The reindeer
industry may become a small man’s
revenue if properly safeguarded, but
once the big interests lay off an em
pire and start crowding the little fel
low, one may look for a repetition of
the stirring times of the American and
Canadian prairies.—Juneau Empire.
President Wilson says the Repub
lican national convention was “the
“apotheosis of reaction.” Undoubtedly
it was, if reaction against the methods,
the measures and the spirit of the
present administration is meant. The
American people are weary of autoc
racy, inefficiency, insincerity and alien
influence in American affairs, and the
*
Republican party has voiced their re
action against these dominant influ
ences of the Wilson regime.
Mississippi Democrats passed reso
lution denouncing the Republicans in
the senate for “rank partisanship.”
How offensive rank partisanship must
be to a Mississippi Democrat!
If the Republican ticket were as
weak as the Democratic organs and
politicians say it is, these d, o’s and p’s
wouldn't be quite as unhappy as they
seem to be.
“The Democrats,” says the New
York World, administration organ,
“cannot win if they try to match in
tellectual crookedness against intellec
tual crookedness.” No, the Paris ex
perience ought to teach Democratic
leadership its limitations in that field
of endeavor.
The limit of demagogy is reached in
the complaint of President Wilson
that the Republican congress has not
reduced the taxes at a time when the
demands upon the national treasury
by reason of the waste and extrava
gance of his own administration call
for more rather than less revenues
than are produced by the present ad
ministration-made tax laws.

The New York World, whose pub
lisher Colonel Roosevelt had indicted
for slanderous imputations against the
colonel’s personal honesty, is now
shedding crocodile tears over the
mean things it alleges Senator Hard
ing’s paper said about Roosevelt dur
ing the heat of the campaign of 1912.
The editor or political leader who
didn't have something hot to say about
the opposition during the campaign of
1912 didn’t amount to much. But be
fore Colonel Roosevelt died he was a
friend of Senator Harding and still had
no respect for the New York World.

VOICE OF THE
ALASKA PRESS I
Alaska is the very essence of life.
Through and in spite of its obstacles,
it is growing, struggling, halted a
little at times by great handicaps, but
ever climbing. Everywhere it is
studying its problems, solving them
little by little, as a child studies and
overcomes the new things its budding
intellect encounters. The evolution
of Alaska is essentially the evolution
of life.—Juneau Empire. „
Perhaps more activity has been on
in mining circles this season than dur
ing any year since the beginning of
the world war. Several of the higher
grade gold mines have been bonded
several others have been capitalized
and money raised for development
wrork, and the* whole trend seems to
be that of progress. After all is said
and done, the nation must have gold
to exist, and there will always be
people willing to mine it—so why not
Alaskans.—Douglas News.
There have been many jokes play
ed on Alaska by the federal govern
ment, some funny, and others not
quite so joyful, but the biggest joke
played in many years on this long
suffering territory is the taking of
the census of 1920 in the dead of
winter. Taken wrhen the popula
tion of the territory w7as at an es
pecially low ebb due to war and in
dustrial conditions of the past four
years, and also when thousands of
the people are away,. visiting in the
south, it is almost a certainty that
Alaska did not get credit for at least!
one-fourth of her popuplation.—Pet

DENY CLAIMS
MEX WIRELESS
AID GERMANY
MEXICO CITY, July 28 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Denial of published
charges that the national wireless
station at Chapultepec was used tc
communicate with Germany during
the world war and that its person-1
uel is German in its most important
components is made In a statement
printed by El Heraldo De Mexico over
the signature of F. Frias, the new
director general of the national tele
i graph lines.
According to Senor Frias, the Cha
pultepec plant was in process of con
struction from the middle of 1917 to
the middle of 1919 and, because it
could not function at full efficiency
during that time, communication with
Nauen was an impossibility.
Senor Frias asserts that the only
Germans connected with the station
are employed in the shop annexes
and are engaged exclusively in mak
ing new wireless equipment for sub
stations, while Mexicans direct and
operate the station.
The Mexican wireless system, Senor
Frias states, consists of 23 stations, 14
on the coasts and 9 in the interior.
The costal stations are mainly for
maritime service, while the interior
stations, with Chapultepec, are for
the service of the government.

ORDER STOPS
WHISTLERS ON
AGANA, Guam, July 28 (oy Asso
ciated Press).—Whistling is prohibi
ted in the city of Agana under pen
alty of a $5 fine by order of Captain
Gilmer, govornor of Guam and com
mandant of the United States naval
station here. His order reads:
“The practice of whistling is an en
tirely unnecessary and irritating noise
■
which must be discontinued.
“It is therefore ordered and decreed
that no person shall whistle within
the limits of the city of Agana.
“The penalty for violation of this
order shall be an executive fine not
to exceed five ($5.00) dollars.
“W. W. Gilmer, Governor of Guam.”
Captain Gilmer has absolute author
ity in making the laws of Guam, this
perhaps being the only United States
possession where one man has this
power.
LOST FIANCEE
BUT LOOKS TO
BE A WINNER
SYDNEY, N. S. W., July 12 (by
Associated Press).—Residents of this
city are beginning to wonder whether
it is still in order to pity Captain
Thomas Kitchen, the Canadian field
artillery officer whose fiancee, Miss
A. Butler of Manchester, Eng., trans
ferred her affections to Lieutenant T.
Millei while en route to Halifax tr
marry the Captain.
Following the publicity which has
been given the broken engagement,
Captain Kitchen has received many
letters, mostly from English women,
in which the writer offers her own
hand to the captain by way of con
solation for the loss of Miss Butler.
Among those who offer to come
to Sydney and become Mrs. Captain
Kitchen is a young duchess, Captain
Kitchen says. She has written ex
pressing her sympathy and has volun
teered to come at once if the gallant
Canadian will have her.
Captain Kitchen would not tell the
name of the duchess or say whether
she was a noblewoman in her own
right or the divorced or widowed
wife of some high ranking peer.
Chick Patterson, charged with hav
ing thrown bottles at another man in
a general mixup in Ketchikan Indian
town was tried before the commis
sioner a few days ago. The jury dis
agreed.
