Wealth In Summer Rains
Occasional rainy periods in in
terior Alaska—which may now
be exepcted to occur until the
end of the season—may be view
ed by certain visitors as a matter
of regret, but rain will be more
than welcome to the men engag
ed in the premier industry of the
realm-—-placer gold mining.
Without water, hydraulic oper
ations are doomed to paralysis.
With plenty of water they will
add millions to Alaska’s annual
gold harvest.—Fairbanks News
Miner.
' (Editor’s Note—This subject
brings to our mind the fact that
numerous people, including Nome
business men, deplore daily the
fact that there is no business,
that there are very few people
about town, especially the work
ing class, which spends it’s mon
ey freely among the business
houses. The Nome Nugget is
again called upon as well as the
Fairbanks paper.to annually draw
attention to the fact that when
there is a lack of working men
Walking the streets and looking
for jobs, that they are busy in
the hills and on the creeks min
ing and that the rainy weather
is worth more to Nome and the
mining men tha^all the sunshine
of California or Florida. It also
means that while business may
be a little slack now that the
fall and winter season for those
who remain here the year around
will mean much, not only to the
merchant but also to the work
ers who will return here after
the freeze up with well fulled
pokes of gold, sufficient to pay
up their debts and have enough
money to carry them through the
long winter months. What more
could be expected. The grunts
from dissatisfied business men at
this season of the year, is only a
knock against your own busness
and the district as a whole.)
A MIZZLED PRESS
""
Readers must sometimes get
tired of seeing before them the
old cries or threats to freedom
of the press. But if those readers
know what is good for them,
they will bear with the editors.
No nation has liberty which does
not have a free press. No state
or community has reasonable
honesty in government without
a free and vigilant press.
As a matter of fact. Professor
R. R. Barlow of the University of
Illinois is convinced after a study
of the newspapers of Europe that
international discord is the pro
duct of a muzzled press.
Dr. Barlow has observed that

ALMER RYDEEN, Register
“European newspaper readers
are merely robots manipulated
by dictators and bureaucrats who
make him think and act as they
wish.”
The newspaper reader in Ger
many and Italy has no chance of
knowing the truth. And Pro
fessor Barlow concludes that ev
en the British “see Hitler only
through the eyes of the foreign
office.”,,
The professor came to the in
evitable conclusion that the Am
erican newspaper reporting is
without its equal. Only in Am
erica is there any real semblance
of press freedom.
