! KETCHIKAN CLUB TALKS
OF DIVIDING TERRITORY
Following up the action taken
(Some months ago, the greater part
of the time of the Ketchikan Com
mercial club luncheon was devoted
recently to discussion of the pro
posal to divide the territory of Al
aska into two territories. And af
ter discussion of the problem, a
• committee was appointed to draw
! up proper resolutions to forward
'to Washington and to Juneau.
James M. Shoup was the first i
speaker on the subject. He pointed
1 out the conditions existing in the
territory today, that the First and
Third divisions pay practically all of
the taxes of Alaska while the dis
tribution is controlled by combina
i tions of the northern divisions, with
the First division really having little
to say. He pointed out divergence;
of interests and the lack of harmony
between the southeast and the west
ward and northern divisions.
M. S. Whittier of Juneau, secre
tary of the commercial association
of that city was the next speaker.
He told of Juneau’s desire to aid in
this matter and gave the assurance
that the Capitol City would do ev
erything possible to bring about rhe
desired end.
In speaking he also reviewed busi
ness conditions in Alaska, show' i *
that for the first eleven months if
the year, the Territory had shipped
out $29,000,000 worth of earned
salmon with a total of $34,000,009!
worth of fish of all kinds. He said'
also that the total exportations *or
the first eleven months was round
$50,000,000. He also drew atten
tion to the importance of the tour
ist business in Alaska and predict
ed that there would be at least ?5.
000 visitors in the Territory next
summer, a number considerably lar
ger than during the past season.
Senator J. R. Heckman spoke of
the difficulties in the legislature in
seuring consideration for the First !
division w*hen divisions to the north j
combined to further their ends. I
But he also expressed the belief hat i
the next legislature would not 1 e
likely to adopt memorials asking
that the capital be moved from Tu-I
neau. ;
H. T. Tripp of Juneau, a former ’
member of the legislature, urged the
people of southern Alaska to do
everything possible to bring about
the development of the timber in- i
rustry, and pulp and paper manu-;
facture.

Juneau is going to have an up-tc
date theatre where utility, comfort
and safety will be combined.
The site has been purchased, the
building now occupying the ground
will be torn down shortly afte*- the
first of the year, excavation will be
started and a reinforced concrete
building, with a steel framework
will then be erected and the grand
opening will undoubtedly be aboul
the first of next May. These are the
plans made public by W. D. Gross

evening from the company plant on
Front S:reet.
The program^ ore road -a*ted from
4 until 5 o’clock every afternoon
and from 7.3f> inti] 9 o’clock ev
ery evening except Sunday. Vocal
and instrumental, short talks on
topics of the day by local speakers
and interesting, news items make
up the programs. So far it is not
known how far the broadcasting set
now used sends, or how many people
hear the programs as there has been
no time for reports to come in, a
number of receiving sets have been
installed by residents of the Channel
towns and it is surprising the num
ber of amateur sets which have been
set up by boys in the towns.

r
No. 4 dredge of the Burrall and
Baird Company is doing good work
at its new position above the Yi kon
Gold Company's siphon crus: ik,
Klondike at Bear Creek. The dredge
is in a nice run of coarse gold and
is eating up a lot of gravel. It ad
vances each day on an aver-.ge of
fifty feet upstream, taking a width
of over two hundred feet. This
means that a tremendous lot of
gravel passes over the bucket line
daily. The ground is thawed an
J there is a fine lot of water in the
Klondike river, which is favorable
for a long season’s run. The big
, dredge in all probability will con
tinue digging until the first of the a
year.
