LASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER » THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION WELCOME TO OFFICIAL VISITORS. Juneau and Alaska bids the visiting members of the National Legislature and other high officials of the United States a very cordial welcome to their land. We are glad they are here and hope they might remain long enough to get the Alaska view- point. They will find a Jand with wonderful pos- sibilities. The natural resources waiting for people and money to develop them are almost unlimited, though the obstacles to be overcome are many and some of them difficult. That will be apparent to anyone who stops to think of how slowly Alaska has advanced compared with other frontiers in other days. We believe the official visitors will agree, if they remain here long enough, that there ought to be no more burdens placed upon the shoulders of men and capital that come here to develop resources and make way for more population than absolutely necessary. They should have as nearly as possible freedom in the exercise of initiative and energy. There should be no undue restrictions or unneces- sary vexing regulations. There ought to be oppor- tunities to progress similar to those that were given the pioneers of other frontiers. The indications for the immediate future in Southeast Alaska are favorable. The fisheries in- dustry is on a stable basis and bids fair to reach a point where fewer restrictions and greater packs might result. Mining prospecting and development are in apparent successful progress in mapy places in the vicinity of the Territorial capital. The situa- tion of fur farmers is improving. Better than all, we are at the beginning of a general utilization of our forests. Large pulp and paper mills are close at hand. Actual construction will begin in a few months on mills in the vicinity of Juneau. This will be followed by enlargement of the Juneau mills and the construction of others. This development promises relatively large additions to the population of this part of the Territory. There are many things the Federal Government as the landlord in Alaska might do- to further growth. It might give us more and better roads It might make it so people could get title to small tracts of land for part time homes along the high- ways and water courses. It might give us adequate air-mail service and more local mail routes for small vesesls around about Juneau and, probably, other towns. And, so far as concerns those who are engaged in industry here, using the natural resources as raw material, and those who may come for that purpose, in the words of the late Henry Waterson, give them “an open field, a fair fight and no favors.” In welcoming the legislators and other officials, it is fair to other Congressional and other official visitors of the past to say that Alaska has profited |not a little from their first hand investigations We are confident that we shall experience similar results from the present visit. It also is fair to testify for the benefit of the visitors to the circumstance that we have excellent men and fine organizations at the head of govern- ment acitvities in the Terriiory. Gov. Parks, the Forestry Service, the Fisheries Bureau, the Alaska Road Commission, the Bureau of Public Roads, the Rivers and Harbors Engineers, and other organiza- tions are doing excellent work. They ought to be | supported liberally with appropriations to carry vheir | work forward with greater speed. Particularly is this true with road building and harbor improvement. Chancellor of the Exchequer Snowden in the Labor Government of England has stirred up the advocates of preferential tariffs among the English dominions in the interest of imperial economic unity lhy declaring that the proposal is unsound. The German ship that cut nearly nine hours from the west-bound trans-Atlantic trip has cut the east-bound record more than five hours. Ger- mans have proved that they have not lost the art and skill of ship-building. Rayon Possibilities in Northwest. (Seattle Business Chronicle.) So new is rayon the word as now in common use has not yet found its way into the body of re- cent dictionaries, yet a subcommittee of the United States Senate is told in a tariff hearing that rayon is on the way to supplanting silk as a basic com- modity of commerce and manufacture. It is quite sasy to accept that statement. It becomes easier on finding in circulation through the country press an item explaining in detail just how to tell whether a fabric is of silk or rayon texture. Furth- er force is given the statement by the fact that 50,000 persons are engaged in the rayon throwing (spinning) industry in this country, already involv- ing an annual payroll of $50,000,000. "Domestic pro- duction of rayon in the first six months of this year is estimated at 59,000,000 pounds. How many times greater it may become even the experts cannot well forecast at this time. These facts are of momentous significance in the timber-bearing States of the Pacific Slope. The woods of these States provide a very low-cost and acceptable cellulose fibre for manufacture of rayon. That being true, manufacture of rayon yarns should immediately be built up alongside or adjacent to the pulp mills. Several business groups of the Pacific Northwest are talking of and investigating the possibilities. The opportunity has the appearance of being too great to permit of doubt and hesitation. It would seem easily possible for this new industry to assume at least as much importance, here at the source of the cheapest raw material, as attained or to be attained by the pulp and paper industry. Stewart Is Ambitious. (Prince Rupert Empire.) People who have been in Stewart lately, agree that it is a happy and a hopeful community. It is even hinted that Stewart is quietly chuckling; this discreet mirth being at the expense of Prince Rupert. It seems the Portland Canal city has visions f displacing Prince Rupert as the hub of the forth. All right Stewart. Hop to it. We hope to share in the good things, which all signs indicate are settting in toward the North. The prosperity of Stewart will indirectly mean, also, the welfare of Prince Rupert. And vice versa. We're all in the same boat, and the thing is for everybody to pull together. The Taku Discoveries. (Prince Rupert Empire.) Juneau is considerably exercised over mineral discoveries along the Taku River, not far from the Alaska capital, but within British Columbia. While this has no direct effect here, it nevertheless is another illustration of the development of the in- dustry in the North, in which the people of the North must indirectly share.

There isn't much use for a woman to have a husband who gives all his thoughts and time to making money if he is tigher than a drum and refuses to let her splurge on it. It's gall and wormwood for an egotistical man to have to buy No. 14 collars and 6% hats, but it is tragedy for a vain woman to have to pass up the perfect 36's and go on to counters that display the sizes for “stylish stouts.” It's funny, but man can go off |on a trip by himself and not feel lonesome, but when he is left alone at home he is more miserable than a chronic invalid when the east wind is blowing. It makes a young fellow swell up like a poisoned pup for his darling to tell him he is so won- derful he simply can do anything, but after the honeymoon he gets decidedly deflated when he discov- ers one of the things she is so confident he can do is get up and get his own breakfast. Some couples ride around in rib- bon-bedecked autos to advertise the fact they are married, but a year later they'll have plenty of other ways of advertising that fact.
