CANNERY (COMPANY LOYAL
Providing other big cannery companies follow the
lead of the Libby McNeil & Libby company, in purchas
ing coal and box shoots in Alaska, a big step forward in
the development of the Territory’s natural resources will
have been made. B. W. Branche, manager for the large
concern, in a recent letter addressed to the Juneau Cham
ber of Commerce, stated his company is contracting with
Alaska sawmills for all the box shooks it will require the
coming season and that it proposes doing so in the future
regardless of the fact that similar material can be pur
chased in the States and shipped to Alaska at less cost
than it can be procured in Alaska.
The letter also stated that the big corporation is pur
chasing 1,500 tons of Alaska coal for use in connection
with its fish interests in various plants along the Alaska
coast line. The coal is being purchased under the same
condition as the lumber, it is stated, a higher price being
paid; or in excess of what it can be laid down at their
plants from the Outside.
Manager Branch, who is very well known in Seward
and who was a business visitor here last spring while en
route to the company’s westward plants, says his company
takes the view that, as its field of operations is in Alaska,
it is its duty to endeavor to assist the Territory to the
extent of using its products whenever possible.
Undoubtedly other large companies will do likewise
—follow the leader—for the Libby McNeil & Libby is
that, one of the leading and most successful packing com
panies of the Territory. Not only to the port of Seward,
but to the Territory as a whole, will the decision of the
cannery company reflect, with added impetus financially.
A BUSINESS NATION
It has long been the fashion for certain writers and
speakers to criticise the American people for their com
mercialism—their desire to make money.
While it is true that the mere making of money is
not a very high ambition, it must be remembered that
it is through our genius for business that we have been
able to provide funds for the innumerable things worth
while, such as are not enjoyed by any other nation in the
same degree.
Great sums devoted to educational, religious, char
itable and artistic purposes have been made possible
through successful business pursuits. Scientific re
search, the advancement of health measures, better
homes, and the comforts and refinements of civilization
generally have been due to the ability of our people to
acquire money and to their willingness to spend it for
these things.
Most of the high-brow critics of business obtained
their education at colleges and universities endowed and
made possible by business men. Business and money
making are not the end of our national ambition, but the
means whereby civilization may be promoted anr pre
served.
If President Coolidge is in the habit of talking to him
self, the White House reporters should also have a try at
lip-reading.
Rouge and powder wear off, but the habit of using
them doesn’t.
The well-known story has some inconsistent ideas on
the subject of distribution.

BE STILL! MY PALPITATING
HEART
Carl Swanson is a Swede,
A nice young man, indeed,
He came down on the railroad "
To see, once more a steamboat.
He’s blonde and strong and true
With eyes a—sparkling blue—
A letter came from Juneau,
Where from, he did not do know.
Then, Carl, was tickled pink,
He couldn’t speak a think,
The scent of roses, sweet and rare,
Told him, it is from Elsie, fair.
Oh,—he was trembling wild,
He nothing else but smil’d;
And full of joy he open’d up
The pinky, silky envelop.
And now, that’s sure, that Carl
In Juneau has a gal,
He sure will take the “Watson” down
To see his Elsie in Juneau town.
