BAD AND GOOD
The United States has had ••pan
ics" and "crises” before but, points
out an exchange, never another like
the present. The astonishing fact is
that despite very widespread unem
ployment and the distinct business
-depression, due to after effects of
the most terrible war in history,
there is practically no abnormal dis
tress in the United States. In ad
dition to that, a statement of the
Federal Comptroller of the Curren
cy says that there is actually more
savings today, regardless of “bad
times”, than ever before.
This statement of the Federal
Comptroller covers reports from 600
mutual savings banks, showing gain
both m number of depositors and
number of deposits during the last
fiscal year. These banks, most of
which are situated in the East, show (
an increase of 173,933 depositor?
and of $30.43 in the size of the
average deposit.
COAST DRUGGiST IS BOOSTER;
SAYS NORTH IS COMING BACK
With the completion of the Al
aska railroad, pre-war basis of mine
operations in respect to low cost of
supplies, etc., and a good year in
the fishing industry, Alaska is com
ing back this year and will gradual
ly get back into the pre-war strides,
according to A. H. McDonald, own
er of drug stores at Seward and
Anchorage, and also transportation
man known from Southern Calif
ornia to the Arctic Circle, who was
in Juneau recently, enroute to the
States or a vacation.
, . 1
In an interview given to the
Alaska Daily Empire, Mr. McDon
ald is quoted as saying:
"Business has been good this win
ter a: Seward, Anchorage and to
the Westward. The completion of
the Government Railroad means
greater mining activity in the In
terior and also the opening of agri
cultural pursuits. The placing of the
steamer Starr on the Westward run
from Seward means that that sec
tion of Alaska will now be in close
touch with the world and business
strides from Kodiak to Dutch Har
bor will be noticed.
“The oil industry will go ahead
this year ar.d it is very probable
that during the next six months
■gushers will be struck, not only in
the Cold Bay district, but also in
other sections to the westward. All
Alaska is going to benefit from get
ting down to a pre-war basis and
hundreds of homesoekers are com
ing North from the States. This is
indicated by various letters I have
received at Seward and Anchorage,
as agent for the Alaska Steamship
Company. _
"Commercial organizations aii ov
er Alaska spend money in advertis
ing, shoeing advantages of each
separate district and sticking to
facts. Th.? advertising matter should
be Alaska product, to encourage and
a;d the local printers, which will aid
the local merchants. Commercial or
gan matior.s should advertise extens
ively in their home papers and send
copies to the States. Merchants a -
so should advertise extensively in
their home papers so that those
reading the newspapers in the
States may know of the advantages
in the various towns in Alaska. Ad
vertise and boost and stick to Al
aska. is my motto."
ALASKA FUR FARMER MAKES
OFFER TO AID WAR VICTIM
An offer to give to an unemploy- !
ed. partially disabled war veteran ,
i of Seattle, a half interest in a sil-!
ver fox farm in Alaska, is contained i
' in a letter to the Seattle Red Cross
i from W. D. McLaushlin. of Wood-;
chopper. Alaska.
McLaughlin, says an exchange, of-'
fers free a half interest in three
pairs of silver fox, a small cabin,'
and "everything necessary to start
in the fox farming business."
The letter says further that "if1
some ex-service man wants to try
| hjs luck at this game, he is welcome
to the place, as I am a prospector
and not in position to give my time
to fox raising. This is an excellent]
hunting place, with all kinds of
game, such as moose, bears and i
goats and much small game".
The only qualifications McLaugh-;
iir makes are that the former serv-'
ice mar. is unemployed, was partially
disabled during the war and ha? a:
good disposition.

NELCHINA DISTRICT SHOWS
ACTIVITY IN NEW RECORDS
The arrival at Anchorage recent
ly of A. C. Christoferson. for the
purpose of recording a number of
placer claims on Alfred Creek, is
directing considerable attention to
the Nelchina mining district, ac
cording to a recent edition of the
Anchorage Times, which adds:
“Much activity may be looked for
in this district this spring and sum-'
mer. as the mining game will re
ceive an impetus through the re
duced cost of supplies and the abili
ty to purchase from local merchants.
The district may receive a further
boost for prominence owing to a
: deal which is now pending with
New York and Massachusetts part-;
ies. the details of which have not
been madj public."
Robert Stone, who has been pros
pecting in the Canyon district and
making Healy his headquarters and
outfitting point, arrived in town on
a business visit on Sunday. He will
probably return to Healy tomorrow.
Bert Currier returned to Section
3 South on Sunday, after a brief
visit in town.
