PITY THE PIONEER !
It must make oldtimers snicker in their sleeves when
they read about Matanuskans complaining of their pioneer
camp at Palmer. If the average run-of-the-hill sourdough
had had one iota of the comforts and conveniences that have
been showered upon the 1935 pioneers he would have con
sidered himself blessed by a divine providence.
Mention the word pioneering to any of that intrepid
band who arrived in Alaska around the turn of the century
and you will hear some tales of hardships that would make
the inconveniences at Matanuska seem like the luxury of
kings in comparison. The majority of those men landed
on forlorn and wind-swept beaches, Skagway,Valdez. Nome,
with their worldly possessions in a few bags and boxes and
nary a CCC worker in sight.
A tent frame was a thing unknown and lucky was the
man who possessed a stove with an oven that would so much
as burn biscuits. By dint of hard work coupled w’ith a de
termination to make a go of it at any price, the first crude
buildings were put up and even then shelter was had at a
premium. Coal at Nome was $40 a ton and as soon as sup
per was cooked you poured water on the fire to save the
fuel until the next meal. And then in the line of prices
there were the dollar-each-eggs and the two-dollar-a-pound
bacon, and there were beans and beans and beans. As far
as a free ride to Alaska went, you were lucky if you could
buy standing room on a wheezy old steamer for $200 a head.
But times change and so have pioneers. From the
scads of promises that were made the colonists it may easily
be derived that they have grounds for complaint.
All that Alaskans can hope for is that the agency that
sponsored the colonizations will make good its guarantees,
will send its investigators if they are needed, find out the
trouble, and pet and smooth the ruffled backs of the pio
neers until they are peaceful and happy again. If this is
not done, instead of the Matanuska project becoming a boon
to the northland it will turn into the hardest-hitting boom
erang a country of God-fearing people has ever seen.—Cor

EFFICIENT OFFICERS
City officers have been doing excellent work in keeping
our streets free from those obnoxious individuals who from
time to time must vent their overflowing exuberance by at
tempting to float it away with alcohol. The city magistrate
the other day sawr fit to fine and imprison eight or ten dis
turbers of the peace. We do not mean by this that jails
should be kept loaded to the guards. On the contrary, it is
a far greater credit to any municipality to see its bastile an
empty and forlorn place.
However, there has been too much drunkenness, too
much free usage of the public thoroughfares as places where
foul-mouthed boors could hold sway, too many violations of
the laws of the public peace.
Fearless individuals on the police force and a stern
magistrate are the greatest cures for this evil and arrests
and imprisonments must naturally follow. At least they
must until offenders learn that authorities mean business
and that drunkenness on the streets is not to be condoned.—
