Ketchikan, Alaska, Monday March 3, 1919
A GOOD IDEA
Speaking of the agitation to^rn'arge the com
mercial opp rtun y of !u "a by going after
the west coast t esterday that
it was all very well to 'stick to the fishing in
dustry and all that, but ihat there was but one
sure shot to fire to make Ketchikan a real center
of activity, and that was through the develop
ment of the mineral resources lying dormant
all about us.” And h. . : a. “with the facility
for treating ore the cha?> : would be all in favor
of making this part of Ala,- !;a the greatest min
ing centers the world S Jr seen;.. and we
wouldn’t deplete our vate-r, of fi?h either,” he
concluded.
If that man knows whereof he speaks; it is
clear that the first thing to do isto secure the
necessary assistance fr * ; te government. The
Bureau of Fishereies i : •.•ending considerable
money every year in the con ervaticn of fish;
which is right, but why c '.a? the work and ex
pense to that resource? 1 v not spend a little
.to uncover that which now \ o no value. A few
thousand dollars would sw we to install a kind
of process for treating ere :Vee of charge to the
prospector. Find a gore ;—. nect and capital is
there to develop it, wi; ' Ml that is needed.
Let us grow by devc! ah <;v dormant industry
should be our motto. The !i industry will keep.
WHAT TABOo WANTS

ay it would not suffer capital to hammer labor.
I ibor nowadays seems so unreasonable. Too
ruich candy has spoiled many a child, and it
n aybe that too much money has spoiled labor.
A LIVE “BURG”
The report that Juneau was a “dead town” was
Aery much exaggerated—at least there must be
two lived ones there, if we can judge by the
prospectus received through the miaiL It is a
J 2-page pamphlet descriptive of the plants grown
n Juneau. It was presumably issued by two Hor
sts as the following announcement shows.
“Juneau Florists is a partnership entered into
arly in February 1917, by W. H. Case and J. P.
Anderson for the purpose of engaging in the line
of business indicated We have erected two
greenhouses each 18 by 100 feet and now have
1'iem well stocked with a choice variety of plants

These men are to be commended for their en
/ants in our line.”
reprising spirit. The pamphlet makes splendid
dvertisement for Juneau showing what they
an grow. Ketchikan would do well to follow the
xair.ple. Here we could add considerable to the
eng list of plants mentioned in the prospectus.
Ve could add apples, cherries and real flowers
looming at Christmas time in the open. Unfor
unately, Ave seem to lack the “getup” to adver
ise our town.

REMARKABLE DIFFERENCE
According to reports, Canada is paying its dis
harged soldiers what is called a “war service
ratuity” amounting to one hundred dollars to
carried men and seventy dollars to single men.
hese allowances are for six months after the
j ten leave the service—payable monthly.
I Meanwhile, our generous congress—in spots—
as been haggling over a poultry sixty dollars
hat some one proposed to allow discharged sol
iers when they leave the service. Now if we com
are the wealth of the two countries, consider
he displayed generosity, we soon arrive at the
onclusion that our government is extremely ava
iciotw. Alaskans knew as much long ago. But
hat *s no satisfaction at all, we must admit.
OPTIMIST AND PESSIMIST
Yesterday the optimists aaid, “It’s a fine day,”
'Yes,” said the pessimist, “except for the wind.”
“I like the brisk March breeze,” said the opti
fi ist. “But it blows the dust in your eyes.” said
i he pessimist.
“Spring is just around the corner,’’said the
^■mist, “But there is a winter chill in the
” ^3id the pessimist.
“Nature’s hopefulness always appeals to me
g‘ this time of the year.” said the optimist. ”Tbe;
fc t of everything is ahead of us.” “However,”
said the pessimist, “it’s a long way to June.”—
