WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
The interest that has been cre
ated in Alaska oil lands through
the passage of the leasing measure,
and the rush to the oii fields, is a
reminder, says the Alaska (Juneau)
Daily Empire, of what might have
been had not then President Roose
velt withdrawn the oil lands from
location in 1906! Fourteen years
of prospecting and development
work have been lost. If they had
been utilized, what might not have
been the result! Long before now,
Alaska might well have become one
of the great oil producing sections
of the country. We might have
had thriving towns and a large ad
dition of prosperous people to our j
population. This is an illustration j
of the great injury that has been j
done to Alaskan development thru j
the Pinchot conception of conserva- j
tion—an injury that has already j
held back the settlement and de
velopment of Alaska for the major
part of a generation. If it had
not been for this crank’s hobby,
Alaska would have had railroads to
the Interior long before the Fed
eral Government began the ex- <
penditure of more than $50,000,-;
000 on the railroad from the coast
to the great river system of the
Yukon valley, and by this time we
would have had a far greater pop
ulation.
However, let us hope that the
dawn is here. The oil lands are
being taken, the railroad is being
built, the chances are good that aid
will be forthcoming that will en
courage the renewed development
of gold mining, and the powers ot
the forestry bureau are reported to
be working out a manner of dispos
mg of timber that will result in the
establishment of pulp and paper
mills in the Territory. So let us
be thankful that we may yet live to
see Alaska come into her own. The
fight for common justice has been
long, and the victory will be worth
while when it comes.
WOMAN’S CONGRESS.
Delegates from at {east twelve
nations are expected to attend the
congress of the International Wom
an Suffrage Alliance to be held in
Madrid early in May. These na
tions are the United States, Great
Britain, India, France, Switzerland,
Portugal, Sweden, Finland, Iceland,
Germany, Rumania, and Serbia.
Since the last congress was held
at Budapest, seven years ago, thir
teen countries have extended the
franchise to women, and thus, for
the first time, the congress will
have behind it the authority and
weight of large bodies of enfran
chised women. Spain, however, re
mains unconverted. Mrs. Sarajin:
Niadu, poet and orator, is expected
to be among tho delegates front
India.
DYING HARD.
American farmers are not reduc
ing their acreage of oats because
of the rapidly increasing use o1
automobiles and trucks, on the the
ory that the horse and mule were
being made a back number, accord
ing to a report by experts of the
department of agriculture. They
have made a special study of the
situation and say:
“The number of horses and mules
on farms, if decreasing, is doing
so at a rate so slow as to have
little or no effect on the oat crop.
Furthermore, statistics show that
American farmers arc not cutting
down the total oat acreage, but are
actually increasing it. A great
number of American farmers, par
ticularly in the corn belt, are justi
fied in making extensive sowings of
oats each year.”
THE R-36.
The English dirigible balloon,
R-36, which the United States navy
purchased from the British govern
ment for $3,500,000, will be housed
at the Cape May (N. J.) navy yard
air station. Work has been begun
for the erection of a large hangar,
Which must be completed within
the next month or so. A railroad
line is being constructed to the
site of the building in order that
the 600 tons of material necessary
for the hangar may be placed on
the ground speedily.
At the present hangar, from which
the C-5 went out on its disastrous
trip last spring, there is being put
together, under the direction of an
Italian expert officer, a new' dirigi
ble which may have its trial trip in
a short time.
The regular complement of the
flying station adjoining the naval
station is 400 officers and men.
TROTZKY’S TRAIN.
The special train of Leon Trotz
ky, the chief of the Russian Red
army, is a most elaborate affair,
consisting of fourteen cars and two
powerful engines. It is supplied
with a wireless installation capable
of receiving ’ communications from
Xauen, Lyons, and London. One of
its most interesting fittings is a
printing office which prints Trotz
ky’s paper, On the War. The' great
est curiosity of the train is the
“garage,” which contains six cars,
one a powerful French automobile
which belonged to the late Emperor
Nicholas.
The escort on the train consists
;of 250 infantrymen, a whole com
:pany of machine-gunners, as Trotz
!ky, with his train, has often been
,near the front and has several times
I been in danger of his life. The
I train also contains a library and a
! dining-car.

Dsaana, Alaska's Interior Tati Depot
What I Stand For
I am a candidate for National Committeeman of the Republi
can Party to be elected April 27th, and 1 stand for the following
principles:
I am not a politician and never ran for office before. I belong
to no political machine or combine and am under obligations to no
clique or faction.
I am opposed to machine domination in Alaska and if you elect
me I will take my orders from the people and nobody else.
While my home is in Anchorage, where I received the unani
mous indorsement of the Anchorage Republican Club, composed of
over one hundred fifty members, I will work for the entire Terri
tory of Alaska first, last and all the time.
If you elect me I will do my utmost to see that each locality
or division shall name the officers of that locality or division, and 1
will fight bitterly the appointment of anyone outside of Alaska
to an Alaska office.
Alaska has been my home for 23 years, winter and summer,
and I feel sure I know what Alaska needs.
The time has come to put an end to outside dictation in our
affairs and I believe what Alaska needs is more firesides and fewer
carpet-baggers.
The only way to rid Alaska of machine politicians is to vote
against them. People of Alaska, I am making this fight for you
and I want your help. You deliver the votes and I will deliver
the goods.
J. E. CHOVIIN.
