GRIGSBY OPTIMISTIC.
“Th^ future of Alaska never
looked brighter to me than it does
today, and judging from proposed
legislation pending in Congress. I
believe the Territory is about to
enter a new period of development
that will affect all its resources,”
declared Delegate Grigsby in Seat
tle recently, on his way to Alaska
to begin his campaign for re-elec
tion.
Mr. Grigsby was deeply inter
ested in the announcement made
that the California Paper & Water
Power company had purchased 100,
000,000 feet of pulpwood timber
at Port Snettisham, about 50 mile?
southeast of Juneau, and may invest
about $2,000,000 in a pulp mill
there.
’“The sale of that timber by the
forest sendee might be called an
entering wedge of the movement to
speed up the development of the
resources of Alaska,” he said. “I
would rather not discuss this new
step until after I know more about
•it, but I will says that there is
every indication that Congress will
be asked at its next session to open
up the forest reserves of Alaska to.
the pulp industry. One of the mostj
important bills affecting the Terri- j
tory now pending in Congress is ,
the one calling for the creation of
a federal commission in Alaska to J
conduct the affairs of the country1
without consulting officials in Wash- j
ington, D. C. Another measure j
would give Alaska territorial control
of its fisheries and game. The adop
tion of the oil leasing bill means in
creased activity in that line. Then, |
too, money will be available from
now on to continue work on the
new Government railroad.
“The conservation policy has not
been the best thing for Alaska, but
the tide is turning now' and the
Territory is coming into its own.
When the country is opened up as
it should be the transportation prob
lems will solve themselves. If Alas
ka- cannot be throwm open to the
pulp industry under existing depart
mental regulations a bill will be in
troduced in Congress with that end
in view'. The paper shortage is be
coming more serious every day and
something must be done to relieve
the situation.”
WORTH THE MONEY.
The investigations conducted by
the Territorial Shipping board have
resulted in interesting the Interior
Department and the Federal Ship
ping board in the transportation
situation in Alaska, and.whether its
proposed remedy for the high
freight rate* and inadequate service
to the North shall be adopted or
not, events seem to be marching
toward a solution of some sort that
will bring about an improvement.
The money expended on the Terri
torial Shipping board, believes the
Juneau Empire, has been a very
good investment for the Territory.
When one considers the temper
of the public mind a year ago—
that does not mean the radical mind,
or the theoretical mind, but the
practical, hard sense mind of sue
|cessful business men—it must be
admitted that there has been an
honest effort to carry out the will
of the people by those charged by
the territorial legislature with that
responsibility. There has been an
honest investigation of conditions,
and an honest effort to better con
ditions—an effort that promises to
bear fruit that will be far more
valuable than the money it has
cost.

who arrived from the upper Koyu
kuk on the steamer Alaska, reports
the death in that region recently
of Christian Carlson and Richard

gas from'a wood fire in a shaft
about 50 miles from Betties, and
the latter sucumbed to kidney com

Recent arrivals from the Kovukuk

the first big stampede a score of
years ago.

One Pair Did Not Wear Out!
IT was a sc:entine expedition composed of three
white men and iive Indians.
They tramped clear across Labrador, five months of
that heart-breaking going through rough country
that simply means death to footwear.
One man wore Goodrich “Hi-Press” and the rest
wore—other makes.
And before the traverse was completed every sol
itary boot and shoe had worn out except Goodrich!
The chief of the party (who wore the Goodrich) sent
the shoes into us as proof. You should see them—
the corrugations on the sole are not all worn off.
There is no doubt of the superior wearing quality
of Goodrich Rubber Boots and Shoes. It has been
proven time and again.
Fishermen, laborers, hunters, miners all agree that
the footwear with the Red Line ’Round the Top
stands supreme for comfort and all around service.

party does not recognize the efforts
of the 48’ers at Chicago. She says,
although it seems impossible to elect
the Socialist candidate in the United
States at the present time, it will
in no wise discourage the Socialists
and that in time their national or
ganization will be successful in a
national election.
