ANOTHER INDUSTRY RE-OPENS. Monday for the first time in several months, the big whistle at the Juneau Lumber Mills echoed from the rocky sides of the encircling mountains, signalizing the resumption of the sawmill operations for the current ason. It started work with 60 men on its payroll. More may be added later if local orders and the demand from canneries for box shooks justify large scale operations. The opera- tions of the plant mean much to the community even in ordinary times. Under conditions like those present, it means even more. It sup- jobs for local unemployed, enlarges logging and transportation employment fields, and conse- quenty puts into circulation at home considerable additional money of which the butcher, baker and plies OPSIS: Raisul, son of the powerful Kaid of Mekazzen, forces unwelcomed attentions on Margaret Maligni, wife of: cne of the Kaid's agents. Mar- garet finds no sympathy in all of the great citadel of Mekaz- zen excepting that of Herr Schlacht, apparently a secret agent of Germany. The night before, when Raisul forced his way into her roem, Margaret's hucband Jules either had been drunk or drugged and in no conditicn to help. Now Mar- garet tells him cf Raisul's visit.

That in itself is indicative of | the fine impression Alaska’s new Delegate made. Perhaps the most striking aspect of his remarks was the utter frankness and extreme sincerity dis-} played throughout. Once or twice he was asked questions about small details to which he admitted he didn’'t know the answer. But he did give the House a great deal of information in the short time he had at his disposal. March 30 is Seward Day and apparently it was in his mind just to note this fact in reminding the House that the purchase of Alaska was by no means a bad bargain. To this end he called attention to the tremendous contributions Alaska has made in the products of its fisheries, mines, and furs to the Nation's wealth. He then urged action by Congress toward initiating work on the proposed International Highway, predicting it would be equally as wise and paying investment as was the original purchase. Then, in response to questioning, he turned his attention to the fisheries, and to conditions obtain- ing among the Territory’s Indians and white fishing seven per cent. These figures, which are quoted from the lead- ing trade publication, Editor and Publisher, reflect the fact that the average American family regards the newspaper as absolutely necessary. “It is a fair question,” observes the publication quoted, “whether any other commodity in public use, even bread, has comparatively withstood the assault explained, with perhaps 11,000,000 bread winners idle in the fourth winter of the depression, millions more on decreased earnings, and many hundreds of thousands actually living in improvised barter systems, sans money.” The newspapers have taken a big loss, along with other forms of business, but it has been in the field of advertising, not in circulation. As news- paper revenues come essentially from advertising, it is obvious that the publishers of the country have been doing a good job in maintaining their papers at the highest possible standard, consistent with the reduction of advertising lineage. Advertising is now showing some signs of getting nearer a normal basis, which is a favorable omen for all business, and will enable the press still further to improve its quality as recovery progresses. But it is not only that the American family insists on keeping informed that it demands its The truth is that a newspaper sub- you to grasp the situation, and un- derstand it without exaggerating it “The scoundrel!
