LITTLE CHANCE FOR
GOLD BONUS
For almost five years efforts
have been continuously made to
secure legislation placing a bonus
on gold produced by American min
ers and operators. Logial reasons
from a standpoint of cost of pro
duction have beer, presented by the
proponents of the idea but these
says the editor of the Alaska Daily ■
(Juneau) Empire, have been out-'
weighed by other considerations. At
one time, some two years ago, :t:
was believed that there was some
chance for success but when nothing
was accomplished then all hope was
abandoned and, during the past year!
the gold bonus became a dead issue.
Its revival in the measure just
introduced in the Senate by Senator
Codie. of Nevada, is not likely to
be more successful than were the
former attempts, thinks the Juneau
editor. Disparity in cost of opera
tions and returns from mining are
not as great as existed in 1918, 1919
and 1920. The same considerations
tha: caused financial experts of
the Government to disapprove the
plan originally still exist. A bonus
on gold production would be a
great thing for Alaska's mining in
dustry but there is little hoppe that
it will ever receive it.
‘•Alaska the Misunderstood,” will
be the title of a story on the Terri
tory written by Sherman Roger?.'
to appear shortly in the Outlook, ac-1
cording to an announcement appear
ing in a late number of -hat publi
cation. The story wil be divided into
four articles, which will contain
materia] secured by Mr. Rogers on
•his visit to various section of Alaska
last summer.
“I found health conditions among
the school children in Sitka the same
in. proportion as in the other towns
in Alaska where I have made inspec
tion,” Said Miss Ebba M Djupe.
field representative, American Red
Cross upon her return to Juneau
recently, after spending three week:
in S].ka on Re Cross welfare wor.;
“The children are suffering fron
t-te same defects I found in Juneai
and in the other towns.” Miss Djup<
said. "They are especially trouble,
with eye defects and there is grea
need for treatment of this troubli
..mong them.
"1 found a number of children un
derweight in both the white am
Indian schools. One student in th<
white school was 21 pounds under
weight, while in the Indian school
found a student 26 pounds under
weight.
“The people of Sitka are anxiou
to better conditions and were mos
responsive in their willingness to co
operate for the improvements of th
health of the children. I found th
citizens most cordial.
An unusual case of naturalizatio:
appeared in the district court o
Ketchikan recently, when the peti
tion of John Elias Elsted was take'
up for consideration.
Elsted’s stepfather became a citi
zen before the petitioner became
gkizen. Elsted thought that mad
him a citizen. As such, he marrie
an American girl who also believe
him to be a citizen.
Inquiry made to tie bureau o
naturalization later revealed the fac
he would have to be naturalized t
become one. He therefore proceede
to be naturalized and this momin
was admitted as a citizen, but jus
before the oath was administered t
him. he was advised that his wift
when she married him, under the ol
naturalization law. lost her citizen
ship, but now. under the new na1
uralization law, she does not regai
it when he became a citizen. An
notwithstanding the fact that sh
was bom an American, and that sh
lost h"r citizenehip when she mai
ried. she must now go into court t
be naturalized. She is not require
as are men, however, to make an
declaration of intention, but may a
once file her petition.

That the Alaska Railroad’s reven
ues for the present year will ma
terially exceed the estimates made
last spring, is indicated in advices
received by Gov. Scott C. Bone from
Col. Frederick Mears. It was expect
ed by the railroad officials that all
operating revenues this year would
not surpass $500,000.
That sum had prastically been re
ceived by the railroad at the end of
; August and is believed the total may
l be 50 per cent higher than the es
, :im3tes.
For the first eight months of the
I year according to figures received
by the Governor, revenues from
i freight, passengers and excess bag
! gage amounted to $367,153.14. and
I ation an additional $100,811.37
, from miscellaneous sources of oper
! at ions $467,964.51. This covers re
-j ceipts to the end of August. Septem
i ber. October, November and Decem
j ber operations it was estimated at i
j that time would, at least eo.ual the.
’monthly average of $58,495.56. fori
the first two-thirds of the year.
A detailed report of the progress
and future possibilities of the Alaska
reindeer industry, is included in a
bulletin recently issued by the Bio-!

THE GREATEST BUSINESS IN THE WORLD
Feeding a family fell is the greatest business in the world. It
is the business of Frye & Company to furnish some of the food
products that enable a woman to feed her family well.
FRYE’S DELICIOUS HAM AND FRYE’S DELICIOUS BA
CON are the very cream of the vast output of high quality FRYE
PRODUCTS, the result of repeated selection, first in the buying,
again before curing and finally before packing. That's why FRYE'S
DELICIOUS HAM AND FRYE’S DELICIOUS BACON are just as
dee-licious as the name implies.
FRYE’ WILD ROSE LARD will always find a place in your
home once you give it a trial for it’s better than ordinary lards
because it contains the rich leaf and back fats, not found in ordin
ary lards.
Most good dealers in Alaska handle FRYE’S DELICIOUS
HAMS and FRYE’S DELICIOUS BACON. If yours does not we
would much appreciate being advised of the fact.
