Things arr< lookinrr pretty good for
Alaska Just now. Especially guod
from the stnadpolnt of developemeot
bv the government. That is it looks
like the government was goin;? to pro
\ ide the means by whieh the people
who will Boon he pouring into Alaska
tan continue the development of the
country that has already he«n begun
by the pioneers.
No one who is at all conversant with
the facts can doubt the vast natural
recources of the territory and the only
thing in the world that has retarded
the growth of H>is great section has
been the lack of transportation and
the stepfather attitude hitherto assum
ed by the national government.
Now there are in Washington a
number of influenaial senators and
representatives vho know all about
Alaska and its needs an l these men
iar. foresee the wonderful future of
prosperity that will be ours when the
land Is properly opened up to the pros
pector and the settlor. They know
the needs of Alaska and they arc
working night and day at the ration's
capital to supply those needs.
It la an excellent thing to have
friends like these at the capital in
Washington working for Alask;' and it
is aJso a cheering thing for all Alas
kans to know that the work of thes<5
raen Is meeting ν ith succcss and that
there Is α better chance right now than
ever before for this territory to get
what It needs and what It ehould have
had years ago from the national gov
ernment.
Tho Alaska railroad Mil will un
doubtedly pass *.t this session of con
gress unless some quite unforeseen and
ui guessed accident occurs to block the
path which has been so carefully
smoothed out for It.
With tho passage of this bill and
the beginning of the enterprises whicii
It will foster α reawakened and α re·
icwed prosperity will flood this won
cUrful country uf the north. Alankn
will begin to grow and develop and
she ha· never grown and developed
before and there will bo an Influx oi
> table investment and enterprise the
like of which has never been seen here
1< fore.
There will not be a stampede of th<'
"get rich Quick and get out" crowd
such aa follows in the wake of a new
sttlke. hut a steady Inflow of people
vbo come to stay and develop· and
to make hones and establish perma
nent enterprises.
All of that will reauit, not in boomi
and beat·, not In lnflatad values and
the consequent flattening out which I
I. sure to follow, butina steady solid
upwurd climb on the ladder of pqros
prlty.
Anyone who Ui ealabiiahed in Alaska
now has the Jump on the situation nnd
should look forward with every confl
uence to a very substantial Increase in
business prosperity, in mining indus
try and in every other gool thin,;
tl at is bound to come with the enter
ing of the government engineers and
builders and the laying of the steel
rails of civilization and commerces
ficross the land so pregnant wit'n
riehes.
ι All of this development 1» right now;
starting on Its way and from the mo
ment that tbe railroad bill I* paaaed j
and the several other bill· for the bet
teiment of Alaaak are Introduced Al- i
nska will begin to feel the impending
, prosperity.
That la where Nome geta right up
* onto the front aeat of the prosperity
wagon and goea along over the trail
with the rest of the territory. N'ome
ts very much obliged to all of the
s» ntlemen in Washington who are
ci\ing so much time to Alaska's needs
If such a thing as a town or city or
community where everyone pulled to
KKther were possible that town or city
or community would be the most pros
perous in the world.
If everyone In any specified place got ,
atiutd of the same towllne and pulled
for the m»·,- that town would be sure
ti* advance no matter what doleful con
dition there were to be overcome.
A pull together spirit combined with
ι .ι spirit of cheerfulness and a belief
in the ultimate good outcome of seem
ing adverse conditions will eventually
win out over any handicap.
A constructive attitude towards life
j r,nd conditions in general rather than
j an attitude of destruction and con
factors In prosperity.
Reports from the markets of the
country since the new tariff bill pass
ed show a slight shrinkage in business
ns compared with the same time last
year This shrinkage is not of a very
s-erious character and it may he ac
counted for as being simply precau
tionary. until It is seen Just how the
■ ruw tariff is goln™ to work. The com·
j nrerciul world may only be whiting te
■ ipc what adjustment of prices will he
j necessary under the new law.
One of the main causes, however, of
tht lack of enthusiasm and advance
ment along business lines In the coun
try is the talk and predictions of the
I opiK>nents of th· democratic tariff, it
; Is the business of α certain class of
, politicians to tear down and never to
j build up. These are the destructive
ι and not the constructive elements in
i the nation.
One party is wholly and tntircly
glven to the policy of destructive tac
tics. while the republican party will
naturally tear at anything that the
democratic party favors and vise
ι versa. This does not seem a wise
cr patriotic attitude for the republi
cms to adopt.
Of course when the republicans were '
running things the democrats assum
ed this attitude of predicting disaster
and it was Just as reprehensible in
thnm thnn ο α It Se I»· tKn «λλιι*-«.1 1
new.
Therr» is no doubt about the fact
that there has been a general busi
ness depression all over the United
States and that American securities
have recently dropped to a lowor level
In the money marts of Europe.
The tariff bill passed by the demo
crats is not. however, responsible for
this depression, which fortunately will
not last, any more than in tho demo
ctatic eurrenc y bill going- to be re
tronslblo for a farther depression as
predicted by some of the enemies of
the democratic party. *
The cause of the alight depression
which Is being felt over the country
Is nothing more nor lees than the
crokers who do not favor the new pol
icies and who spend their time pro·
dieting dire results from their enact
ment into laws.
It is the lack pull together in the
ccuntry. The democratic party is in
power and it has certain experiments
it wants to try, just as the republican
party has in times past tried its ex
periments and there is no reason why
anyone should hurl the country into r.
financial decllno by pessimistic pre
dictions. The proper, loyal, patriotic
thing for the country to do now, re
publicans and all others, as well as
di ni ocrai· la to atop looking for h
•lump and to all pull together for
prosperity.
Incidently. on u smaller scale, the
s: mo thing applies to every city, town
«nil village under the flag, and the
place which has tint most "gat togeth
er" and optimism Is the place that will
advance the fastest.

SPEAKING \îF ADVERTISING.
Down in Southern California, in l.o«
Angeles in fart. I hey have hern iloinft
ar immense business in real estate for
the past ten years. More money lias
been maile in the real estate business
in California than anywhere else prob
ahly in the same length of time.
In I.ost Angeles there are several
V( rv large. and now vcv rich, real
estate firms lhat started out a few
years a«ti on nothing much more than
the perverblal shoestring. There are
hundreds of other real estate Arms
that are neither as larpe nor as rich
as the ones first mentioned that start
er· at about the same time
The first string of firms, the ones
that have progressed and are still pro?
srressInK are the ones that went Into
the advertising game. They are still
at it. these firms. They advertise in
a'l the papers all of the time. One
of these successful firms took tnto it
office a newspaper man He didn't
know anything about real estate but
he did know all about advertising and
hr gets a large salary for dolni; noth
ing but attend to the advertising of
this successful, growing, prosperous
fil m.
That is what one of the most wide
awake firms In Los Angeles thinks of
advertising and It has paid them three
fold.
What advertising has done for this
firm In Los Angeles it will do for any
film anywhere.
This is a nood time for Christmas
pds. but all times are good times for
advertising for lhat is what makes
