APPROPRIATE RESOLUTION
It is appropriate says the Juneau
Empire that the first resolution to
be adopted by the Alaska Legisla
ture should be one of greetings to
President Harding and pledging him
the warm welcome of the people of
Alaska on the occasion of his com
ing visit to the Territory. President
Harding is not only the head of the
Nation and of the highest type
of American citizen, but he has
^manifested a very earnest interest
in the welfare of this Territory,
during his tenure of the Persidencv,
Alaska owes iw>thing less than a
strict fulfillment of the legislature
promise.
While Presidents have planned on
visiting Alaska many times none
nas ever come to the Territory, and
the indications are now that the
first chief executive of the Nation
to honor this Territory with a visit
will be President Harding. As re
cited in the resolution of the Alaska
Legislature, the visit cannot fail
fo be of “great and enduring ben
efit to the Northland.”
The Legislature has not everstat
ed the case at all. President Hard
ing will receive a "warm and patri
otic” and appreciative welcome by
all the people of t!ie North.
PR. RUPERT WILL ADVERTISE
The general interest taken
throughout the country points out a
recent editorial in the Prince l^j
pert News, that The Pas dog team
race is an example of the power of
advertising. The Pas is not an eas
ily accessible place nor is i: a place
that would ordinarily come into
the limelight. They have had,
though a good publicity agent who
has kept the world posts on the
activity^)? the camp and the result
has been that everyone knows of it
and most people o^f a sporting turn
i of mind are interested in the doer
team races which are run every
year over a two hundred mile
course.
Without advertising, the World
Series baseball would not amount
i
to anything. Already news papers
of the whole continent have been
^ supplied with nicely printed sched
ules of games for the baseball
season and there has been a good
deal of advance copy sent out. This
is a type of advertising that counts
a great deal. It is begun early and
carried on all the time. There is no
let up.
So it is with the big boxing
matches. The publicity is carefully
planned and very expensive but it
brings results^
Prince Rupert may copy the
methods of the dog team racers and
of the baseball magnates to some
extent. Sometimes free advertising
can be secured but it has to be care
fully planned and skillfully executed
The difficulty is to get the time
to undertake the work. Most men
of ability are also so busy people,
and cannot undertake the work. A'
publicity man is worth a great deal
to a place but if he is good he is
an expensive person and a town
this size finds it difficult to finance.
With the means at our disposal,
however, something can be done and
is being done. We are keeping
fairly well befor the people of Can
ada but if we could get what we
have to offer placed seriously before
the people who might help us fin
ancially and industrially it would be
putting us in a position to prove
whether what we have been saving
about our advantages over other
places is correct.

RAELSON GIVES REASONS
FOR ADVOCATING PENSION
“Alaska owes a greet debt to the
men whose early discoveries paved
the way for the subsequent develop
ment of the country,” said Re
presentative Frank Raelson of Some
in an interview accorded upon his
arrivel at Juneau recently to take
his seat in the legislature. “These
men came.into the North wilderness
when roads and trails, much less
railroads, were unknown; they left
civilation wherever the little steam
ers landed them on the coast and
most of them pave the best years
of their life to the country. Now,
when they are long past the acre
of useful service, they must be ta
ken care of, tenderly and humanly.
I hope that this legislature and each
succeeding Legislature will appre
ciate the obligation Alaska owes to
these old men and be governed ac
cordingly.”
Mr. Raelson has another hobby
says the Empire good roads. “If
the time shall come when Alaska
will be criss-crossed with adequate
roads and trails Alaska will show
the world something new in food
production,” he said. “Roads and
trails, and plenty of them, will open
up the great Interior country and
give the Northwest a new agricul
tural section.”
COMPANY DENIES REPORT
OF DEMAND FOR DOCKAGE
J. H. Kline Juneau agent for the
Pacific Steamship Company (Ad
miral Line), says the report that his
company had notified the officers of
the coast guard cutter L’nalga that
henceforth dockage would be charg
ed that vessel for lying at the com
pany’s dock, is wholly without foun
dation; that* the matter was infor
maly discussed but that no notifi
cation was {riven and that, in the
event of no allowance being: made
by the government for that particu
lar purpose, the Unalgo and . other
government boats having business at
or porting in Juneau, are welcome
to use the company’s dock at any
and all times in the future as they
have been doing in the past.
The Pacific Steamship Company’s
dock at Juneau has been the place
of many field meets in past years
and no objections have ever been
registered by the company which
has ever manifested a disposition to
cooperate with the town in all mat
ters of public interest. However,
statement of a proposed dockage
marge were made and publicity was
riven the statements, but Mr. Kline
;ays that, further than informal dis
cussion, there was nothing to it.

ALASKA DRY DIRECTOR
IS GIVEN PROMOTION
John B. Marshall. Prohibition En
forcement Officer for the Alaska
District recently received a telegram
from Roy Haynes, Prohibition Com
missioner, offering him appointment
to the litigation division, subject to
work in assisting the United States
District Attorney to the Washington
Division at the same salary as re
ceived as Director.
Mr Marshall has wired acceptance
of the offer reports the Juneau Em
pire. He has not been informed as
to whether the transfer means to
the state of Washington, or Wash
ington, D. C.
“I have no information when the
transfer wrill be made or when my^
successor as Prohibition Enforce
ment Officer will be named,” said
Mr. Marshall “In the meantime
I am still Enforcement,' Officer”.
Mr. Marshal! was appointed Pro
hibition Enforcement Officer, on De
cember 1. 1921.
Mr. Marshall stated the transfer
means that he will leave the north
land. He came to Alaska on April
18,1909 and was for two seasons in
the Porcupine district. Since July
31, 1911, Mr. Marshall has prac
ticed law in Juneau with the excep
tion of the time he was United
States Commissioner or engaged
otherwise.
The transfer of Mr. Marshall
from Alaska to Washington is be
lieved to be the result of the recent
investigation of prohibition enforce
ment in Alaska by Dr. E. E Math
ews who spent some time here for
that purpose, according to his an
nouncement while here. It has been
the policy apparently, of the ser
vice to make transfers where fric
tion develops. F. A. Hazeltine, who
was in charge of the Pacific Division
for instance, was recently transfered
to Pennsylvania. Another official
was transferred from Washington
to Montana, and there have been
other instances of transfers.
Bert Wilson arrived in town from
the south on Saturday and will
spend the coming summer in the
Chandlar district in the employ of
the Alaska Road Commission.
