LOOKING AHEAD
Whatever the outlook in the States, attendant
upon Congressional action on the tariff it cannot in
any way affect the prosperity of Western Alaska and
especially that portion influenced by The Alaska Rail
road. This roseate outlook is due to the fact that a solid |
foundation has been laid for a series of progressions,
which are subject to influence by political action or
money stringency in the States. Taken in point of im
portance mining, farming, fur propagation, agriculture,
oil development is on a sound basis and just emerging
to a point where they will exercise a tremendous influ
ence upon present and future prosperity. Especially iss
this true of gold mining ,both placer and lode. There
are many men yet able to secure a competency from the
gravels of the creeks by hand methods, and results;
achieved by the Fairbanks Exploration Co. and other i
dredge operations in the Fairbanks, Kuskokwim and:
Iditarod districts, and along the Yukon, show a steady!
and healthy growth.
Despite the handicap of lack of capital the hard
rock miners of the Moose Pass, Nuka Bay and Willow
creek districts, the three dominant lode gold camps,
have made splendid progress and new mines are com
ing in each season. The richness of the ores and exten
sion of workings showing the lodes are deep-seated and
consistent, and have drawn the attention of such big min
ing organizations as the Consolidated Company of Can
ada, whose ramifications extend all over the American
continent. Already having optioned several good pros
pects it is expected this company will launch upon ex
tensive development work next year that it will employ
a large lorce of men and gr~es promise of bringing in
some highly commercial mu >s.
Agriculture having bem established to a point
where the Railroad Belt could feed itself if needs be,
it would take more than a tariff battle to perturb this
portion of. the United States while at the same
time its activities are so distributed that iio cloud could
obscure a more roseate horizon.
Harry Sinclair is now out of jail; they say he jipped
the government out of millions. Former Secretary of the
Interior goes to jail in connection with the Tea Pot Dome
scandal, broken in health and finance. Edward Doheny,
another multi-millionare, also is mixed un in the
nefarious business and appears before a court soon.
And on the other hand government agents have shot
down, within the last few months, many men and women
suspected of peddling home brew from their premises.
What s the answer?
Many a man who paid $100,000 for a seat on the N.
£ Exc,ha?ge now wishes he had hung onto his
split-bottom chair.

FACED STARVATION; UN
USUAL CALM
NEAH BAY, Dec., 12, (/F)— i
After 43 days from San Francisco
with the crew facing starvation,
the schooner Charles R. Wilson,
arrived here.
The vessel had 30 days provis- j
ions for the nine men aboard but!
went short 10 days before reach- |
ing here until finally there was;
nothing left but hardtack ar% j
water.
Unusual calm, coupled with!
occassional northwest headwinds, j
blew the schooner 600 miles out I
to sea which accounted for the!
long trip. Capt. J. J Kelly said
he believed it to have been the
longest voyage ever recorded bet
ween San Francisco and Seattle.

IP L REFEREE CURE
CUSS IRIS EVENING
Ready to do or die, two eager
teams will face each other at the
S. A. C. gym tonight, each with the
same thought in mind—to win the
opening game of the 1929-30 season.
The Ponies, high school cham
pions of coastal southwestern Alas
ka last season, the snappy and
aggressive aggregation who amazed
all of their opponents by their
speed and spirit during the 1928-29
season, and took the series from
both the College and the Anchor
age Moose fives, are *rarin’ to go at
the blast of the whistle.
Equally confident of their ability
to take the opener are the fighting j
members of the Seward Volunteer
Fire Department, who have tossed I
their helmets into the basketball!
court this year. Steady drilling and
a remarkable team spirit have been |
prominent features of this squad’s |
| training this season, which, coupled
| with their experience, adds greatly
to their chances of upsetting the
high lads tonight.
Both teams will appear in new
uniforms. The Ponies’ new togs are
j made up in school colors, blue,
trimmed with white; while the fire
men's suits are flaming red with |
white trimmings. j
Owing to the inability of Mr. Me- j
Conville to be present, endeavor has !
(been made to secure the services of :
| Dr. Roberts to referee the game j
{with Mr. King.
