ALASKA'S ECONOMIC
COMPLEX
(Seward Gateway!
There is a striking change in
the economic complex of labor
ers coming to Alaska in the com
putation of labor values. Instead
of appraising their value as a
workman, when asked what they
expect, the answer is: “My time
is worth so much!”
Equally strange to relate is the
fact that few unmarried men
have any leaning to the land, not
even to the extent of building a
cabin. Unless they have a job or
have earned sufficient to carry
them during the winter, they
flock to the towns, many to seek
relief from the government.
It is only the miner or man who
sees an opportunity of obtaining
a placer claim or a trap line, who
builds, puts in a garden and is
capable of weathering the lean
periods by killing a little game in
winter.
The observation of the Western
dairyman that “to be successful
in the industry, you'll have to
devise some scheme for milking
a cow from horseback," has been
amended in Alaska to “in order
to get young men to prospect it
will have to be done by truck or
airplane.”'
Dr. Alexis Carrel, sailing for
Europe, said: "Spirits are not
my line.” We judge that he'll be
on deck a lot more than some of
the other fellows—George Ryan
in Boston Herald.
Americans are becoming too
civilized, says a world traveler.
Maybe he has never seen the
fans chase an umpire out of
town.—Carey Williams in Greens
boro, Ga. Herald-Journal.

carry on than a conflict at arms.
Governments may have respect
for non-combatants, but disease
has none.
The British and the Americans
fought out their differences in
:he Revolution and in the War of
1812 without regard to Asiatic
cholera, its first appearance in
the United States being in 1832.
In that year, immigrants from
England to New York City by
way of Quebec spread the scou
rge, and for several years it was
epidemic here. In 1848 it arriv
ed again at New Orleans, ascend
ing the Mississippi and moving
across the plains to California
with the gold rush. Cholera
scares have occurred now and
then, but generally stated we
have had no cause for anxiety on
that score since 1873. There are
none living who can give a word
of mouth account of the doings
of cholera in the United States,
and nobody is eager to have new
history written along that line.
With no hard feelings toward the
Chinese and the Japs, it is to be
hoped that they handle their own
war and their own cholera.
The American Philatelic Society
has opened its 52nd annual con
vention in Detroit. Most persons
have collected stamps, or some
thing else, at one time or another,
and many never will cease from
their labors while they are in the
flesh. Collectors should not be
put aside with an • indulgent
smile. None but the collector
knows the joy that comes with
the discovery of a bottle of a
peculiar shape or an old print
which the former owner valued
so lightly that he threw it into
the attic. Everyone must have
fun in his own way. He can get
it innocently in no better man
ner than by “collecting.'’ One of
the virtues of that hobby is that
it thrives in most cases on cast
offs which are of value to the
collectr nly. And so it occurs
that all parties to the transaction
are pleased. On the one hand,
the junk disappears and on the
other there comes that exper
ience which can be described on
ly by the overworked word
“thrill.” What difference if the
“collection” goes into the trash
bag a few years later? The fun
for the collector was good and
harmless while it lasted, and as
to the uninterested donor, he got
more foot room about the house
and did a good turn at the same
time.
New York burlesque show man
agers now are advertising ‘cloth
ed nudity”. Patrons, we take it,
are at liberty to exercise their
imagination.
A German glider stayed up in
the air forty hours, thus almost
equaling the senatorial oratorical
record.
