ALASKA DAY, OCTOBER 18
Next Monday, October 18, is Alaska Day. Formal
transfer from Russia to the United States was made, Oc
tober 18,1867 and it would be well for Alaskans to pause
and consider a fitting way to honor the occasion.
After reading the crime news from the States we
wonder why they pick on Alaska as being such a wicked
country.
SHOULD GIVE EXTENSION
The bondholders of the bankrupt Chicago, Milwau
kee & St. Paul railroad, want sale of the road postponed
until they can persuade congress to give relief from im
mediate payment of $40,000,000 lent the road during the
war. If the government can give foreign debtors 62 years
or more in which to pay up, it is only just that American
debtors be treated likewise.
Speaking of the abolition of capital punishment, the
gangsters appear to have taken over the function of the
States, anyway.
Among things smaller than the atom are the electron
and the man who gets mad because his wife won’t vote his
way.
After reading today's reports of the killings in the
States how can any Alaskan contemplate going Outside
for the winter.
Now the bandits in the States debate whether to
shoot or stab their victims.

Territorial School Commissioner
Lester D. Henderson, in Seward to
day en route South to his Juneau
headquarters, attended the Chamber
of Commerce luncheon tendered to
the many prominent visitors in the
city, which, by the way, was his first.
His discourse on local and Territorial
school matters were of great interest
to his listeners.
“Though I have been in Seward
many times, this is the first time I
have had the pleasure of attending a
Chamber of Commerce meeting, and
I want to express my appreciation of
being here, as w’ell as bring a mes
sage of well wishes from the Juneau
Chamber of Commerce, of which I am
a member. I don’t know what I can
bring to you that is new relative to
South Eastern Alaska. One thing that
is particularly noticeable is that they
are all developing and going ahead.
“Petersburg is particularly on the
boom. They have built a new cold
storage plant, two new business build
ings and a great many residences. We
all know that Ketchikan is steadily
growing, with activity in the build
ing in both the residence and busi-*
ness districts. The same thing applies
to Wrangell, Juneau and Sitka.
“Sitka has a new school building
for which they bonded the town, $25,
000, and which they expect to occupy
some time in December or by the
first of the year. So that the pro
gress in Southeastern Alaska, should
I think make us feel optimistic in re
gard to Alaska.
“Another thing that is especially
notable is more activity on the part
of the Chamber of Commerces, more
active members, and many chambers
