° ss nan ° Rannnnnnnnnnnnnnr ~~ d HE STAR today prints the first of a series of articles from E. O. Sawyer, city editor of this 5 : , : toe . 4 paper, dealing with Uncle Sam's inquiries into the mineral wealth of Alaska. You remember | | | how Sawyer journeyed over the trail to the Shushanna gold diggings to report the true status , of the new strike. And then how we told you he had left Cordova for the Matanuska coal fields. The Star has been beosting hard for passage in congress of the Poindexter bill for the open- ing and development of Alaska, or for any other bill that will serve this end. It has enlisted the sup- port of other Scripps newspapers throughout the country. These papers have given the matter a ane ae Rete eee RRR RRO an ow MOTHER JONES RAPS SU AAR AAR ARAA An nANnannnnrrrtonnpmnonhnrnnt ent p ppp DDD AD RADDA DLODAR great deal of publicity. In their several communities they have aroused sentiment favorable to de- } velopment of the vast northern empire. And public sentiment is what determines the vote of the legis- { lator in Washington. Sawyer will tell you what the United States government is doing NOW in 3} Alaska, and WHAT IT IS GOING TO DO. His stories are going to be printed in The Star’s sister ; papers, as well as in Seattle. They will be read all over the land. If publicity of this nature can be } of any assistance in obtaining congressional action that, indirectly, will be of untold benefit to Se- { attle, is the earnest desire of The Star to furnish it. } RAIN TONIGHT AND SATURDAY; LIGHT WESTERLY WINDS Why Is a Suffragette?
