Owning a Home as Path to Stability and Pride
William A Radford argues that owning a home yields financial stability and stronger character. He asserts homeowners gain permanent buying power, better credit, and community respect, contrasting with renters who face ongoing expense and transient status. The piece advocates saving to buy, frames home ownership as civic virtue, and hints at accompanying architectural features such as a front dining room and fireplace.

Alaska placer mining may last a thousand years expert says
An expert testimony in the Engineering and Mining Journal argues that gold mining in Alaska could endure for a thousand years. He estimates most currently worked gravels yield 3 to 10 dollars per yard, and transportation could unlock vast areas once gravels yield seven cents per yard elsewhere. He notes nearly the entire state is gold bearing, with pincers and quartz deposits along a route from Ketchikan toward Haines.
