THE VALUE OF CO-OPERATION
(By C. J. LINCKE)
In the co-operation of the chambers
of commerce of Alaska, and especially,
those within the scope of influence of
the Alaska railroad, lies the secret of
a marked era of industrial develop
ment as well as the solution of many
problems confronting the Territory as
they relate to the federal government.
has been a lack of co-ordination of
expression, leaving many important
matters solely to the individual. Ow
ing to the great diversity of interests
no general plan may be applied to
Alaska as a whole, hence it becomes
necessary for each community to be
prepared to voice its needs and have
the support of others in bringing the
matter squarely up to those responsi
ble for relief or assistance.
The railroad belt is capable of fos
tering a number of practical indus
tiies, through which an interchange of
products may be accomplished and
large sums now being sent out of the
Territory retained for general circu
lation among producers. This repre
sents money in bank, and will go far
toward completing the foundation
upon which Alaska will eventually
emerge as a strong, prosperous state.
By co-operating through the cham
bers of commerce all matters affecting
Alaska may be laid before Washington
in a manner to command respect, and
the system would be welcomed by the
legislators as a medium through which
to direct legislation calculated to help
the Territory.
Washington has asked Alaska to
heJp herself, and no better way could
be employed than a close interlocking
of the chambers of commerce, through
which each community could secure
and foster industries peculiar to its
location and interchange information
that would be of incalculable benefit,
as well as bring the people into closer
harmony and thus wipe out the little
jealousies that often stand in the way
of real progress.

Alaska will never retain its popula
tion or acquire any wealth until it
provides winter jobs for its working
men. In too many instances a man
will come to Alaska and work through
the summer, only to find that if he
would live through the winter he must
go to the States for employment.
As the working man is the producer
of all the wealth of a community, it
stands to reason that he should be
provided with an opportunity to labor
in case he desires. There is no money
made in working a few months and
being forced to lay up all winter.

DIVISION IS FAVORED
Anchorage, Nenana and Fairbanks
residents have exppressed themselves
favorably as to a division of the Ter
ritory. The advantages accruing from
such a change are apparent to the
most careless thinker. A division of
the Territory would give northern
Alaska a capital close at hand, with
officials and their families living
near at hand, where it would not cost
a small fortune to interview them. It
would mean that the Second and
Fourth Divisions would be many days
nearer the capital, with boats touch
ing Nome and Seward eliminating the
necessity of going from Nome to Se
attle, and thence to Juneau. It would
mean that residents of the Fourth di
vision could reach the capital at a
small cost, doing away with a 1200
mile ocean voyage. It would mean
a greater increase of tourists, who to
reach Alaska would not stop at the
southern division. It would mean the
expenditure of several hundred thou
sand dollars in government money
which is now spent in the First divi
sion.
And, furthermore, it would mean
that money from the Third division,
paid in as case tax, would not be turn
ed in to the Territorial treasury at a
point hundreds of miles from the
source of the wealth, but would be re
tained at home. In the near future
the Third division will be doing the
great bulk of the cannery business,!
with the First division turning it at-j
tention to timber products. Read the
Treasurer’s report and see where the
money comes from and where it is
spent, and you will favor division.
In another column of this paper
will be found an advertisement by
the Chief of Police, warning Seward
citizens that they must keep their dogs
tied up under penalty of arrest and
fine. The dog question is one of the
most debated in Alaska, many persons
owning canines, not realizing the pest
they are to their neighbors and the
menace to safety of small children.
While everyone loves a dog, or should
at least, often the vexatious problem
of their keep, causes much useless,
recrimination. Dogs and cats are a
pest and a nuisance, when running at,
large, stealing from the neighbors ice
boxes and destroying whatever they
cannot carry away. Do not do unto;
your neighbor what you would not,
have him do unto you.
SHULER AND STEPHENS
START FCX RANCH MONTANA
N. P. Shular, a pioneer Alaskan fox
raiser, and Fred Stephens, an oldtim
er of the Klondike, have established
a fox farm at Kalispel, Montana, to be
known as the Kalispel Fox Farm. It
will be stocked with blue and silver
foxes, marten and Alaska sable.

used Doan’s Kidney Pills and they re

for artificial legs has been reported to
the Veterans Bureau which implies an
advantage over the natural variety. \
A claim has just been received from
an Indiana veteran for replacement of
a cork leg destroyed recently in an
emergency. The claimant says that
while he was hauling coal up hill his;
team balked and it became necessary j
to brake the wheel. Lacking a brake;
he took off his leg and stuck it in the-!
wheel. The wagon was stopped but;
the leg was destroyed.
