Bank to Bank Coal strike news makes fre quent reference to the “bank to bank” demand of the men Miners speak of the entrance to the mine aw the “bank.” This dates from the time when all coal mines were caves dug in to the sides of hills, and coal mines were called “coal banks. Mine labor now is paid from the time it starts work inside the mine, In the deeper minos, ‘aya those where seams have been worked far underground, it’ takes the men anywhere from. 10 to 30 minutes to reach the coal, Espo clally ia there delay when men are hauled down deep shafts, and hauled up again in the evening. Now the men want pay from the time they come to the mine entrance to the time when thoy are hoisted up to the surface, They call that “bank to bank."

Now, however, the eyes of the gov- ernment are again being turned on this comparatively virgin country, and the eyes of the people of Alaska are being turned on Washington, HERE'S A HINT AT WEALTH OF ALASKA Here's why Alaska can pay the war debt of the United States: It has an area of 686,400 square miles, extending from the 54th de- sree of north latitude to the 75th de- gre If those figures don't mean much to you, these will: Alaska's area is greater than 20 of the 48 states of the Union put together! Its taxable wealth today is less than that of the smallest state of the 48, but its potential wealth is far sreater than that of the 20 states mentioned! Alaska’s wealth has only been scraped off the surface. Its popula- tion in 1900 was only 68,592, and in 1918 it was officially given as 64,984, an increase of only 1,892 in 18 years. But in reality the war, which took nearly all the men from Alaska, cut its population in half, These men are now returning, and trying to induce others to return with them, Once Alaska has the population its resources will support, {t will be the richest section of the United States, And daylight saving must have or- iginated in Alaska, for there they have 22 hours of daylight in summer time! To show how easily Alaska can support a population of many millions, officials of the Alaska bu- ALASKA’LL PAY WAR DEBT, | NORTH COUNTRY SLOGAN reaus of the government call att tion to the fact that it is in the same latitude as a section of European Russia which is smaller than Alaska, but has a population of 5,553,000, Included in this section are the cil of Petrograd and Archangel, as as all the largest cities of Russia, of Sweden lies in practically the latitude as Alaska. In that country wheat, rye other grains, potatoes, vegetables all kinds and livestock thrive. Yet Alaska, in 1900, had only TWELVE improved farms, with @ te acreage of 159, In 1919 it had 222 improved farms, with an average | of 191 acres to the farm, and with @ total valuation, including buildings and livestock, of $1,468,402. Since. 1910 the number of farms has vastly increased, but there are still miles and miles of fertile soil waiting for the hand of the settler. —___ AMUSEMENTS MOORE oRruEUm MARRY GREEN LIAN SHAW ICCOLINI Ben and Hazel Mann: the Wal- ters; the Bugenes; the Pickfords, Twice Dally, 2:30, 8115 PALACE HI Continuous Daily, 1 te 12 Six Clever Acts of HIPPODROME VAUDEVILLE Feature hgtoplay GRRY i) JA “WHEN my SHIP conme Lad By Gouverneur M
