There is a lot of truth in what
Mr. Goshaw says in hu> letter about
Alaska and politics. The people of
Alaska have devoted too much of
their attention to politics and politi
cians and too little to business de
velopment, wi.h the result that a
very large percentage of the popu
lation is now made up of office hold
ers, office seekers, parly manipulat
ors and common heelers—and all
of them supported in their political
activities by this, that or the oiler
so-called political faction. Had an
equal amount of energy and money
been expended during the last fifteen
years, in real development and the
kind of business effort suggested
by Mr. Gor.-.aw, Alaska and Alaskans
would occupy a ranking place at
Washington and throughout the
country generally, with capital and
home builders eager to share in the
prosperity that wou ’ he ours.
The idea of a central organization
for the promotion of territorial in
terests is not 3 new one—in fact,
the Nenana Commercial Club has
the distinction of having been tha
first to advocate 3uch a plan, but
Alaskans have been too busy plaving
politics to give serious heed to the
suggestion. They have depended up
on the politicians to pull the Terri
tory out of the hole, with the re
sult that there has been no pulling
out. On the contrary, the hole has
•deepened steadily under the weight
of mounting transportation rates and
increased tax burdens.
It is high time, as Mr. Goshaw
suggests, for Alaskans to cut out
politics and get down to business
—the uniting of business interests
for the benefit of the whole terri
tory.
It occurs to The News that the
federal authorities are putting them
selves to needless trouble and the*
taxpayers to needless expense in
their efforts to suppress traffic in
the home-made variety of liquor—
mule, hootch or moonshine or what
ever you want to call it. A most
effective and inexpensive plan woull
be the exhibition of some of the
stills captured since the elimination
of wholesome liquor from the mark
et. Instead of destroying the germ
laden contrivances, why not let the
public see what makes people blind
and crazy, if it does not actually
kill them. Do a little advertising and
destroy the demand, and the in
dustry will die a naftarei death.
The completion of the railroad
promises to make of Nenana head
quaraters for a large fleet of river
boats, with a busy waterfront thru
out the open season ar.d shipyards
where the fleet can he hauled to
safety in the fall and repaired and
overhauled during the winter of in
activity. The volume of this busi
ness will be considerable during the
coining season, with opportunity for
local outfitters to control a very
large part of the trade

quarter they will dive under the
j boat and come out on the other j
, side, and for a dollar they will1
climb to the topmost part of the
ship and plunge. They live in the ]
water like fisfc.
The climate is soft and salubrious
with glorious sunshine and funny;
flying fish.
On this world trip Mrs. Mellish
had her brother's two daughters as
guests, aged respectively 16 and 17 :
years. Her little daughter Nona,
1 now in an exclusive girls’ school in
Seattle, accompanied her, making
four in the party. The two young
: girls are taking courses in domestic
science in Seattle, to become future
citizens of the U. S. A. Thus does
Mrs. Mellish pay tribute to her
adopted country, the United States.
Her only criticism is that Americans i
, take life too seriously—do not play
as well as work, as even the poor
find time to do abroad.

In a letter to Deputy U. S. Mar- •
1 shal James Hagan, former U. S. j
Commissioner R. S. McDonald says
he has decided to locate at Anacortes
where he will represent the New
York Life Insurance Company as
resident agent. He says he has rent
ed a partially furnished house there
and advises Alaskans to take their
furniture with them when going
Outside, as furniture prices are very
high—so high, in fact, that he has
oent to Nenana for certain article
which were left here. Mr. McDon
ald believes he is going to do well
in his new location but says “you
car. bet I wish I was with the old
bunch again”.
