The Assoclated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for republication of all news dispatches credited to it or not other- wise credited in this paper and also the local news published herein CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION, THE MATA is progressing USKA work and the Colonists are happily going about it, says the report from Ross Sheely, manager of the govern- Spring in the Matanuska ment project at Palmer. It shows, of course, that the colonists are in tune with the rest of Alaska now that spring is upon us, and we can think of no rea- son why they should not be. A great deal of hokum is peddled about the Matanuska colonization scheme. Most of it is spread by persons who never were on the working end of a fork handle or a plow in their lives. They will adk you, just as if it was the supreme question which stops all things, what the Colonists are going to do with their produce. There isn't any market, is the cry, and it costs too much to ship it. ‘When 60,000 persons in Alaska get virtually every ounce of food they eat from the Outside, there is surely a place for the produce of the Matanuska colony or any other agricultural development which can be started in the north. Towns along the Alaska railrcad can well afford to eat food stuffs raised in the Matanuska rather than wilted lettuce shipped all the way from Seattle. No one but fool would attempt that Alaska is an agricultural paradise, but to say there isn't room for some farming in the north is just as utterly ridiculous. The biggest part of the wail against the Matanuska colony comes from a class of reactionary thinkers who frown on all attempts at progress until it is proven. These same reaction- aries will be yowling about the colony 20 years from now. They will rant against the International Highway until it is finished, and they will drive over it; then they’ll probably say it cost too much. The same men are saying right now that they haven't seen any progress in the last 20 years in Alaska and there probably won't be any for another twenty. The fact is there never would be if it was left to the “can't” crowd. It can’t be done is their motto and they'll die wailing the same tune. Many believe an early demise in such cases would be a good thing for the Territory. Oh well, why be mean about it? But it is good news to hear that the Colonists are getting started well on their spring crops. This a to say season will be a little better than the last, and we | may hope that improved conditions will prevail with them for years. They'll find a market for their produce, and other colonies will be established and markets will be made available for the produce of those colonies. Alaska will go along to develop into an empire; and it will move along despite the grumblers who cry it can’t be done. ALASKA VACATIONS “Only fifteen more minutes of school,” the youngster said this morning, so by this time it is all over for another year. They were to get their cards during the fifteen-minute session. A great, long summer stretches ahead. For the Boy Scouts, the vacation period begins with a two- weeks' encampment at Eagle River. A fine start for a dandy summer’s vacation. Otaers are planning ASSERTS PUBLIC UTILITIES HARD HIT, TAX PLANS L. H. Hein;of Chicago, | enue.” that personal will any other industry.

Glacier National Monument | i i (Alaska Weekly) Two or three weeks ago the Territorial Chamber of Commerce of Alaska, speaking for its fourteen member chambers, protested the continuation of the regulations prohibiting the filing of mineral claims | within the boundaries of the Glacier National Monu- Iment and expressed approval of the bill recently |introduced by Delegate Dimond providing for the re- opening to prospectors of the area. This is good so far as it goes but it is not enough. Following its usual practice of non-interference with Alaskan af- fairs, except on request by some authorized group in Alaska, the Alaska Department of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce has taken no action on the matter—a matter of sufficient business importance to Seattle to justify the attention of the chamber as well as that of individual business men. This is a highly mineralized area which was made a national monument at the behest of big game conservation fanatics over the protest of Dr. Alfred | Brooks, then chief Alaskan geologist, who informed | authorities that the area to be withdrawn contained known deposits of copper and molydenite and proba- ble gold deposits. That was in 1924. Again, in 1935, W. C. Mendenhall, director of the Geologic Survey, wrote to Governor Troy, informing him that further | investigation and information had confirmed the carlier expressed opinion and gave adequate assur- | ance of valuable commercial mineral deposits lying | within the district which was being so carefully pre- served for game. The truth of the matter is that the game itself is a fiction, for it exists in this area in very small numbers. If further proof of the criminal bottling up of valuable resources is needed it is available from any | old-time prospector in this district, many of whom ! still hold good properties within the confines of the | Monument, which due to government regulations, | they are unable to develop | This district is right next door to Juneau — in these days of rapid transit it is just a stone’s throw |from Seattle. According to all government geologic | experts, including B. D. Stewart, Territorial Com- | missioner of Mines, it is richly mineralized and it | should be opened to prospecting and development. Alaska and Seattle both need Alaskan mines a great | deal more than they need national monuments. Se- | attle should get busy and do everything possible to | assure the passage of House Bill 9275. Preserving | this national monument is nothing short of monu- mental stupidity. ! | One thing that got Haile Selassie into the fix he’ in was his failure to understand earlier that what he was really dealing with was the League of Pro- crastination.—Boston Herald.

Adverse planetary aspects rule strongly today, according: to astrol- ogists. It is threatening to workers in many trades and serious for cer- tain lines of industry. In the early morning hours sinister sign dominates. Farmers come under the power of ominous vibrations which may cause un- rest and discontent. Men who exercise authority of any sort are under portents that indicate envy, jealousy and per- haps even rebellion among those whom they direct. The spirit of in- subordination may affect voters' as well as workers.
