The gain over the previous year was more than satisfactory, yet the total volume of trade for the year marked it only as the fourth best in the history of the Territory. It is possible that if we had a complete record of the home consumption for the various years it would show the last year to have been the best we have had, but not good enough. As to population, the report shows fewer arrivals in the Territory than departures from it—32,506 ar- rivals and 33,345 departures, an excess of departures of 1739. ! There are indications of better days coming. Min-| jng seems to be on the up-grade, and the utiliza-| wood products is not far away. Lumbering is the| Columbia. It ought in the course of time to com-| ¢ pete with the fisheries industry for first place in thi: Territory. With the use of the forests, the building of pulp and paper mills and increased exports ol‘ lumber, will come population gains. We also may | expect more people to come to the Territory to en-| gage in mining—mining for gold, silver, copper and | other metals and coal and devlopment of oil. With| these will come increased food consumption and; people to make farms and raise crops. B it oSl We may ex-| pect continued gains in the numbeér of those that will be engaged in fur farming. However. it is very plain that the hope for growth | and progress in Alaska rests in getting more capital; for the development of additional resources. Of _course it would be possible to increase the population slowly by producing in the Territory more of the. things that are used in it, but for marked popula-| tion growth we must depend upon the utilization of our forests, water power, mineral and agricultural| ¢ lands. That requires capital, and we ought to do everything within our power to encourage its com- | ing. The best encouragement we can offer is fair treatment for the capital already invested here. Peo- | ple do not have to come to Alaska to find profitable use for money. There are opportunities everywhere in the States, Canada, Mexico, Central and South America and elsewhere. The best way to divert some | of the money that is flowing in other directions is to make of every one who has invested money,in Alaska a booster. Make it so that he can say that Alaska is dne place where it is safe to invest—one place where capital may rely absolutely on a square\ deal. we must not venture into costly experimental fields. It means that we must hold ourselves down as much | as possible and go without some of the things that long-settled, populous communities, where there has been large accumulations of wealth, indulge in. We| must never for a moment forget that the easiest| money, and the most useful, to get for development in Alaska is that money that has been made in the Territory. The big eannery companies that make profits in Alaska provide the most promising source for capital for the utilization of varities of fish not now used, and for the introduction of other processes of pre- paring fish for food or use that would pralong the seasons, increase payrolls and bring more people here to stay. The canneries ought to be encouraged to invest their profits in the Territory. The same thing applies to copper mining. The Kennecott Corpora- tion, for instance, is the most likely company to de- velop copper mines to replace those now in opera- tion. Money made in gold mining in Alaska is the best hope for the development of more gold mines. And so on along the whole line. The greatest need in Alaska is constructive work that is beth conservative and progressive. VIRGINIA GETS SUMMER WHITE HOUS While there was probably no politics in it the cir- _eumstance that Vir went Republican ecertainly did not count against her in the seléction of the summer White House, which will be at Mount ‘Weather, Virginia, by choice of President Coolidge. The ground already belongs to the Government and 45 used by the Department of Agriculture as a| ‘weather station. President Coolidge asked Congress for $48,000 to condition tie buildings on the property " for occupancy by the President. After all, it is apropriate that the summer White _House should be located within the limits of the Old ) Mount Weather is within easy motoring distance | a picturesque location in one of the Blue Moun- NN LR of Washington and two miles from Mont Blue.

If he has one about him he can't spare it without inviting di- saster.
