For years they have been handicapped for lack of funds And now they are compelled to let out J. G.

I The work that Mr. Stewart has been doing in Alaska made office one of the most important in the Territory.

Following closely upon the announcement that 8 memorial church was to be erected at Valley Forge comes a further announcement that a mili- tary aspect is to be restored to the Revolutionary War camp at that place after the lapse of 150 jgears. The Valley Forge Military Academy, nhlnh it is said., will work out tactical prob- i Jéms on the hills occupied by Washington’s @rmy, is to be established at once. _ The Academy will be situated at Devon, three from Valley Forge, in of the Phila- phia suburbs, on a forty acre tract at present ged for the Devon Park Hotel. The tract was he ‘scene of one of the Revolutiomary cavalry gements between Light Horse Harry Lee and British cavalry leader, Tarleton. In an- ing establishment of the academy, Capt. iton G.

H raulic mining is to be undertaken on a big scale. Gold deposits that could not be worked in the old style will yield a rich return if attacked by modern machinery; and more than $10,- 000,000 has been spent in preparation for large- scale activities, As a result, Fairbanks’ and still growing. which connects Fairbanks Anchorage and Seward benefit of the new activit its history it is showing a profit, Nor is this all. The Department of Interior, under whose wing Alaska nestles, mates that the new mining operations will last for at least 25 years. By attracting men and money to Fairbanks and vicinity, they will stimu- late other forms of production. Agricultural lands are rising in value; Alaska’s soil is fer- tile, and the Department believes that the im- petus which the new mining ventures will give to farming will have a lasting effect. Alaska is, potentially, a rich country, even if it had not a grain of gold dust. It has good land, forests, many kinds of ore-bearing rocks, fine fisheries, abundant water power sites. Some day it will be a populous and prosperous land.

(Seward Gateway.) The suggestion of the Nome Kennel Club to combine all the Interior kennel clubs in 1929 and stage the greatest dog derby race in the history of the country, from Fairbanks to Nome, is one of the finest suggestions ever put forward Dog drivers from all over the United States and Canada will undoubtedly take part in it. The combined purse will make it worth while and the publicity attached to such an event would be stupendous. In truth it would serve as a med- fum for tourists to visit the Territory in the winter and entirely different Alaska from the good old summer time. There should be no hesitantcy by kennel clubs in Alaska following the lead of the suggestion offered from Nome. Coxey’s Victory. (Ketchikan Chronicle.) Jacob 8.

An ideal world would be one where the florists wouldn’t starve to death if they had to depend on married men sending flowers to their wives for their living. Men can dislike other men, but not merely because they wear hats that cost a couple of dollars more. Next to saying it is unladylike and injurious to the health, the poorest argument to use in dis- couraging daughter from smoking is telling her it is an expensive habit, When young people recall their parents used to be thrilled by “magic” lantern pictures they are not surprised they thought a girl had to wear eight petticoats to be modest, and thought showing a shapely amkle a crime equal only to that of committing mur- der.
