PERMANENT MINING OPERATIONS
ASSURED AT FAIRBANKS
From what is know’ll of the plans ;
of several large mining companies the j
Fairbanks district of Alaska is as-!
sured of a permanent placer indus- j
try, according to J. A. Davis, for sev
eral years superintnedent of the min
ing experiment station at Fairbanks,
who now is in Washington serving as ;
assistant to the Director of the Bu- j
reau of Mines. Enough dredging j
ground is known to be available to
keep a large fleet of dredges in op
eration for a long period of years, Mr.
Davis says.
‘‘These operations will have a very
important bearing on the future of
the district,” Mr. Davis declares, ‘‘as
they will give stability to the com
munity and will stimulate prospect
ing and encourage operation by oth
ers. The covering of vegetation and
muck makes prospecting particularly
difficult. This district would benefit
particularly wTere some scientific me
thod of detecting ore-bodies prefe-ct
)6d.
* “Although the prospector has a vir
-gan field and the district apparently
offers opportunities for mining on a
small scale, there is greater promise
.for large-scale operations that can
employ the best equipment.
“These large operations have been
made possible by the railroad. The
values to be recovered were not suf
ficient to justify exploitation until
heavy machinery could be transported
readily and until supplies could be
had quickly and at relatively low
icost.
SOME POOR BOYS.
Some sixty years ago a poor Irish
immigrant lad landed in New York
to make America his home. About
ten years later a boy baby was born
in a log cabin on a farm in Platte
county, Missouri. Nothing very re*
•markable about either occurrence.
But a few days ago the first boy
Relinquished his position to the sec
ond and all the newspapers of the
land made note of the event. Wil
iliam E. Knox, former immigrant* lad,
.was succeeded by Oscar Wells, for
er farmer boy as president of the
American Bankers’ Association.
A year before Knox had succeed
ed Walter W. Head, born in a little
Illinois village and a former school
teacher; Head had followed John H.
Puelicher, son of a Milwaukee tan
ner and a carpet store clerk before
he became a banker.
' Thus from the humblest beginnings
these men have risen in turn to the
presidency of the most powerful
bankers’ organization in the world.
Neither of them had a college educa
tion, although Mr. Wells completed
his junior college year. This is not
to disparge college training, but to
^illustrate the fact that outstanding
success is possible without it.
What these men have accomplish
ed, in spite of early handicaps should
be an inspiration to every fonward
looking youth in Amercia.
Said demure little Miss on the Alaska,
I’ll partake of more food.
She ate the entire bill until she was
full,
And that night she heaved more
than a sigh.
Some people have all the luck!
UP TO THE PRESIDENT
f For more than a year the people
of the United States have been forc
ed to witness a disgraceful wrangle
among army and naval officers of
high rank ovpr matters of grave con
cern to the national safety.
Of the merits of this or that con
tention the layman is hardly compe
tent to judge, especially when the
supposed experts vociferously express
opinions as opposite as the poles.
But one thing the taxpayers do
know. They know that they are pay
ing a lot of money for national de
fense and they feel that they are not
getting value received. And they
want something done about it.
Imagine a big industrial corpora
tion, for example, with its various
officials, directors, plant superintend
ents and sales managers negaged in
a public exhibition such as that being
staged by the Army and Navy—ex
ecutives denouncing one another as
dishonest and incompetent, material
being wrecked, lives being needlessly
sacrificed and personnel demoralized.
What would the stockholders think
or do?
Would they be satisfied with
branding a scapegoat or two and
whitewashing all the rest? Would
they continue to go into their pockets
to put up money for such an enter
prise? Hardly. They would want
to see a strong man take hold of the
situation and force the warring fac
tions to accommodate their differ
ences or get out.
The President of the United States
is commander-in-chief of the Army
and Navy, with ample powers to
straighten out his secretaries and bu
reau chiefs or get rid of them. When
some semblence of harmony is re
stored among the personnel, a def
inite and coordinated plan for the na
tional defense might be -worked out,
with a good chance of enlisting the
support of Congress to make i.t effec
tive.
It is up to the President to use a
firm hand in dealing with the pres
ent demoralized condition of our
fighting forces. When the present
investigations are concluded he will
have information upon which to act.
It is, important that h-is action be
prompt and decisive.
Three Brothers Make
Interior River Trip
Whitehorse-Nenana
Among the recent visitors in Sew
ard the past week were three brothers,
Kenneth, Gordon and Donald Pelton,
who, last spring, starting from White
horse, Y. T., made the' trip to Daw
son in a small boat, thence to the low
er river country.*
The brothers started out over a year
ago for California from Thorapson
ville, Mich. Juneau was the next des
tination selected. There they worked
for sometime for the Alaska Gold
Mines Compaiiy, assisting in the con
struction work. The three adventur
ers had a great time floating down the
Yukon, camping when the notion
struck them and in other ways, en
joyed a splendid summer’s outing.
They are now returning to California.
E. V. Boyle and William Cana
van, who were not in the best of
health when they left Cordova, are
in Seattle and both looking fine.
Mike Sullivan is in Seattle and is
very optimistic over the oil outlook
at Yagataga Beach.

cal coal barons hear of this!
Canadian fur farms now number

than ten million dollars. The pres
ent summer having been unusually
severe, the^demand for furs has been
enormous.

Back Bad Today?
x. m !^; <v. ? i :‘>
Then Find th* Cause and Correct It
As Other Folks Have.
There’s little rest or peace for the
backache sufferer.
Days are tired and weary—
Night brings no respite.
Urinary troubles, headaches, dizzi
ness and nervousness, all tend to pre
vent rest or sleep.
Why continue to be so miserable?
Why not use a stimulent diuretic
to the kidneys?
Use Doans Pills.
Thousands recommend Doan’s.
Read this interesting case:
Mrs. F. W. Baker* 409 1st East
St., South Bend, Wash., says: “I suf
fered severely with backache. For
'jnmmimifiiiinimfiiiiiimmiiimiimmi
/
' days at a time I went around all
bentj over because of the terrible
pain in my back. Some mornings I
would have to be helped up and I
was hardly able to move about for a
whole week. Doan's Pills removed
all the trouble and I have had no re
turn of it since.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills—the same that Mrs.
Baker had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs.,
