Alaska, the land of untold wealth has lost population, has decreased production, and generally gone back since 1910. The permanent pop- ulation is now fixed at 60,000, half of which are Indians, half-breeds and Eskimos. So it can, be seen “that there isn't much doing. This doesn’t mean that thé Unit- ed States did not make a go6d bar- gain when it bought Alaska from Russia in 1867. The original pur- chase price was $7,200,000, and other costs make a total of $200,- 000,000. Up to 1922 Alaska has produced in its mines and fishery and fur industries products to the value of $1,100,000,000. There is na way of estimating the mineral and timber wealth in the 590,884 square miles in its area. President Harding may find what Alaska needs when he visits there. First of all increased transportation must be furnished so that the col- onists may settle the unpopulated districts. The government has just completed one railroad at a cost of $56,000,000 running from Sew- ard to Fairbanks, a distance of 467 miles. In such a thinly populated territory as it covers it is running at a loss. Conservation of the vast forests will guarantee a future supply for the use of the whole country. Es- pecially important is the conserva- tion of spruce which furnishes the paper pulp for newspaper. Care- ful management and the application of approved forestry methods will support permanently a pulp and paper manufacturing industry equal to one-third of the present consump- tion of pulp products of the United States. The fishing industry has been the principal activity of the pion- eers. Protection of the salmon is now necessary because of the reck- less and wasteful exploitation which has been going on and which threat- ens to wipe them out. The agricultural possibilities are very great. These have been lost sight of in the scramble for the min- eral wealth, but the valleys of the long rivers of the territory are fer- tile with rich alluvial soil in which may be grown wheat, rye, hay, tur- nips, parsley, pdas, cabbage, po- tatoes, spinach and other vegetables. Perhaps the greatest thing to be done for Alaska is a simplification of the government which is now managed by thirty-five bureaus and departments of the United States government. THE FUTURE IN THE AIR France announces that it is now ind will remain supreme in thé air, and appropriates $50,060,000, to back its boast. Great Britain re- plies with announcement of plans to add thirty-four alr aquadtons to its military force, at a cost of $26,000,000. At the same time a H toasted of it. less justified contempt to Ameri- ca's lack of progress in this feature of warfare. { The latter charge is too true for comfort. It was proved true at a cost of more than $1,000,000,000 cash outlay, and delay costly in lives and treasure when we entered the world war. We have almost forgotten that lesson, though we will be paying for it for years to come. The present rivalry in ought to wake us up. be forgotten when our next con- Europe aerial service. In the meantime we may take what comfort we can find in the news that American flyers have per- fected a device for taking on new fuel supplies in the air. But that comfort must be discounted by the renewed evidence of our tendency to tell the world all such secrets.— The Chicago Tribun OUR HAT IS OFF TO MRS. FRANK KNIGHT There is a lady in Iowa who de- serves a gold meda She is an honor to her sex and an ornament to society. Her name is Mrs. Frank Knight, and she was President Hard- ing’s first sweetheart. We can- not doubt it. The President says so himself—said so in a public speech at Hutchinson, Kansas, where he met Mrs. Knight by chance—the first meeting between the two in forty-five years. chinson on his way to Alaska; she was there visiting her married son. We do not regard Mrs. Knight as an honor to her sex apd an orna- ment to society solely because she was the school-girl sweetheart of one who afterward reached the most exalted station on earth. We take off our hat because he has never She did not come out during the campaign, after the manner of many women in mést campaigns, and tcll how she had |gveot man. She held her peace. The affair between Warren | Harding and Mattie Neil became a closed, and almost forgotten inci- jdent. Each married happily, and the man that got Mattie is to be congratulated, as is the man who got the present first lady of the land. CALIFORNIA LEADS AGAIN Surprising is the fact that Gall- fornia, the land of flowers and of joy, heads the list of states in the number of suicides. No less than 27 out of 100,000 Californians took their own lives during 1922, while in New York.the rate was only 13.6 and in New Jersey 13.7. Of sev- enty-six important cities San Diego came first, Sacramento second, San- Francisco third and “Los “-Angeles fourth. * Here is something for the native sons to explai Why should any human being, in the midst of what has so frequently been represented as the garden spot of the world, hasten to leave it forever? Why should any one wish to remain in the hustle, the bustle, the clatter and the clang of New York or New Jersey? Yet very few leave these two states voluntarily, for the other side of the grave. fornians are driven to despair by the fear that they may have to move out of the state. Can it be that having once found something flawless, the climate, if one may mention so delicate a sub- ject, the Californian, native or adopted, decides that all the rest of life must fall below this perfec- tion, and in despair takes off for a place where the climate is also said to be perfect? No one else would ever end his earthly career for a similar reason.

Death followed gress is asked to appropriate ‘for; @ protracted illness of cancer. He was estimated by tribesmen to have been about sixty-five years of age when death overtook him. ‘ Littleshield was elected tribal chief in 1920 following the death of Chict Lone Bear and while serving in that capacity for. the brief space of only three years he won a valuable repu-! tation as a wise counselor and a friend of tribesmen and whites alike. He was an unusual example of manhood and always held himself: aloof, de- testing immorality, vice in every form the use of intoxicants, was a devout church attendant and by his examples of better living hoped to Influence his followers and especially the young- er generation to better things. Chief Littleshield ‘believed more in the in- fluence of suggestion and co opera- tion with his followers than the ex- hibition of force and harshness. He was an orator of wonderful ability and ‘this combined with-his magnetic Personality enabled him to hold his listeners at will for hours. Chief Littleshield was twice mar-| ried. His first wife proved untrue as| he learned soon after they were mar} ried and because she was to have a child not of himself he left her, The child, a girl, survives, but the mother died several years ago. To his second wife Littleshield was all that couid be expected of a true husband and lover. He was faithful to her always and his reward was the“affection and care of a true mate even to the last. |the same manner as the people of the | whites.
