ALASKAN NAVAL BASE.
(From Anchorage Timesl
The announcement from Washing
ton that Seward will be made a naval
base by the establishment of a fueling
station comes as a welcome announce
ment and Seward is to be congratulat
ed on its choice of location. Since the
visit of Admiral Hugh Rodman to An
chorage in company with Secretaries
Payne and Daniels, the matter of es
tablishing a naval base for destroyers
has been under consideration, as are
several other important naval adjuncts
that may be looked forward to in the
near future.
In addition to its Importance as a
naval base and the attendant revenue
that will accrue to Seward there is
another feature that augurs well for
Alaska—the success of Cold Bay as an
oil producing field. The government
is doubtless in possession of assur
ances from the Standard and Associa
ted Oil companies that they will bring
in producing wells in the Cold Bay
fields, and the Standard confirms this
fact by its announcement that Seward
will be fueling base for commercial
vessels.
This is merely an lnfinitisemal step
in the pprogress of Alaska in the im
mediate future and augurs well for the
prosperity of all. Permanent acces
sories of this nature further serve to
fortify faith in the territory and en
gender courage in the men and wom
en who have stuck to the ship and
weathered past storms. No one need
look forward with misgivings. Alas
ka's day will begin to break forth in
resplendent promise immediately after
the president’s visit.
The flood level crest was reached
at Fairbanks Tuesday. The drop to
normal has started.

MODERN CENTOURS
SHOULD BE DEPORTED
James U. Duncan, secretary of the
Central Labor Council, of Seattle, has
again aired his radicalism by refusing
I to withdraw the endorsement of the
! Soviet government, as demanded by
| Samuel Gompers and other labor lead
1 ers. Mr. Duncan has gone even far
> ther and stated that “so long as he
: was secretary of the Labor Council
it would endorse Sovietism.”
Mr. Duncan’s radicalism has never
j before reached the heights of the
present time, and the government
| should step in and send him free of
| expense to the government he loves
better than that of the United States.
If men of the Duncan type are allow
ed to air their views before the igno
rant and dissatisfed, this government
| will find itself on the brink of a revo
lution before many years. Bolshe
vism is gaining ground in this coun
try because politicians and judges
fear to suppress it. Now is the time
to stamp it out, before its pernicious
doctrines take root in inflamed minds.
Deport Mr. Duncan and all other
advocates of Sovietism, and let them
join Emma Goldman and Ben Reiter
in Russia.,

that make the house a home
It may be only a chair, rescued from
Jong oblivion in the attic, that lends a
bright spot to an otherwise colorless
room; or brilliant basket holding a bowl
of flowers. But surely it is the little
touches—the feminine touches — that
make the house a home!
Women who are anxious to beautify the interior of
their homes are devoted to such Fuller products as
Silkenwhite Enamel, Decoret and Fullerwear Var
nish. Decoret, a varnish and stain in one, imitates
various natural woods—oak, mahogany,walnut, etc.
Whatever your painting need,W. P. Fuller & Co.
makes a paint for the purpose. There is a local
Fuller agent or dealer who carries Fuller Products.
Why not see him today. Write, too, for our "Home
