EUROPEAN FLESHPOTS
From his first hand study of the;
situation, Ambassador Harvey pre-1
diets that England will entertain'
200,000 American tourists this year
and will spend in Great Britain
three times as much as the British
will pay on their debt to the United
States. What becomes of the argu
ment of the cancellationists that “it
is impossible for Europe to make
payment?” The receipts from tour
ists is only one avenue through
which money is constantly flowing
from the United States to the
countries of Europe, and becoming
available for the settlement of the
American debt account. Tourist tra
vel to Great Britain is duplicated
in varying degree in all the other
debtor countries, and in every one
of them enough money is being
left more than to care for the debt
payments according to the generous
terms fixed in British settlement.
During the foul years of 1917 to
1920 the money spent by the Am
erican Government was about 50
perecent greater than the total cost
of the Government from the begin
ning in 1789 to 1916. To make that
fact more astounding remember that
during those four years wars were
waged. The war of 1812, the Mexi
can war, the Civil war and the
Spanish-American war. During the
four years of 1917 to 1920 nearly
$40,000,000,000 was spent as com
pared with less than $27,000,000,
000, the amount spent during the
entire life of the government a per
iod of 127 vears.
TREAT CAPITAL FAIRLY
Alaska's greatest need is popula
tion points out the Alaska Juneau
Dally Empire. Population follows de
velopment. Development comes with
the inves:ment of capital. Therefore
Alaska’s first need is always capi
tal for development.
The easiest capital to get for in
vestment in Alaska are the profits
from capital already invested in the
Territory. That has been the exper
ience in the past here, and it has
been the experience of all section#
of the country.
It is so obviously for the best in
terest of everyone who is living in 1
Alaska and whose welfare depends
upon the growth and development
of the country that it be made very
plain to those who have capital in
vested in this country that they are
welcome and will have a square
deal that it would seem no argument
ed in Alaska is getting satisfactory
ed in Alaska is getting satisfactory
returns and the treatment of those
with investments here is pleasing to
them not only will most of the pro
fits be reinvested but we may look
with confidence for more and more
investments from those with capi
tal.
Let Alaska always and under all
circumstances deal fairly with cap
ital, and the future prosperity of
the Territory will be assured.
EOUTS GETTING GOOD
Coast fight fans are agog over
recent bouts held in Anchorage.
Heavy slugging has been very much

SAYS LEPROSY CAN BE CURED
LONDON. April 30—That lep
rosy can be effetually cured by the
injection of certain oils, including
cod liver and sova bean oil, was
claimed by Sir Leonard Rogers in1
a paper read before a recent meet
ing of the Royal Society of Arts.
Sir Leonard declared that experi
ments made in various parts of the
world had led physicians to the be
lief that the disease could be cur
ed within the space of a few year?
through the use of these oils.
There would appear to be num
erous cases of leprosy in London,
particularly among army men who
have returned from Eastern coun
tries, which are unrecognized.
ROYAL PEARLS FOR BRIDE
LONDON. April 30—Lustrous
pearls, the favorite pewel of Lady
Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon were the
wedding present from her prince,
the Duke of York. She received a
pearl sautoir. which is a modern
piece of jewelry something like a
necklace, only longer. The royal
sweethearts selected it together
shortly before the wedding while
visiting a jeweller.
The sautoir is composed of sever
al hundred pearls of medium size,
with half a dozen diamonds set in
at intervals. At the bottom is a
larger diamond and finally a pearl
drop of great beauty. The whole is
mounted on platinum instead of the
customary silk thread.
The Alaska Moving Picture Cor
poration has asked permission of the
city of Anchorage to build a slab
city at the edge of town to repre- j
sent an Alaska stampede town of j
early days. The plan is to burn the
“setting” as part of the drama that \
is being filmed. Several hundred !
residents of Anchorage recently'
made a trip out the line, toward i
Seward, as guests of the company, j
for the purpose of taking part in ! 1
one of the scenes.

Late last fall says The Alaska
Weekly, natives found gold on a
small, dry creek, a tributary of
the Buckland River, at a point a
bout twenty-five miles from where j
the Buckland flows into Kotzebue, i
From a small hole, about the size
of a candy bucket, the discoverers
panned out $8 worth of gold. At
another point on the same creek,
from a hole about 4x4 feet, two

feet in depth, $24 in gold was ta
ken. The gold is quite course, the i
creek is shallow and there is prac
tically no wash gravel, the gold
being found in decomposed material
