In the early days when people j
came to A'aska to dig gold, their
on* desire was to make a stake
and get out. Then there was no
convenience*. Homes were radely
constructed, no attempt was made
to beautify lawns or raise gardens.
Get gold and get out was the domln j
| sting dealt*. After awhile many
j began to discover that conditions
were as conducive to homo making !
end happiness right here as any-]
where else Today this northlandj
is slowly *>elng settled up with peo- !
pie who have learned to satisfy the;
heart's desire with the thin** that
.ire round about ns.
Still, from force of habit, from
iho ptwe ? of thinkiug so. there
?ire many who feel urged to go out
side, as it is called, each winter and
come back In the sprint . The mon
*-y that is upent each season in go
ing outside, would build homes and
i-reate surroundings more beautiful
?1ght here than a majority or the
i>eople outside possess
The cities of Alaska today are
suffering more from this fad of go
ing outside, of spending their mon
ey and time In Seattle and else
where than they are from the ef
fects of conservation or any of the
political bugaboos that are being
held before us as reasons for all
our His.
This going outside Is a nenrous
ind meaningless habit. It is like
haying an Faster bonnet whether
>ou need it or not. We ?lo It be
cause someone else set the pace
; cars ago.

Interior Democrats have unanimous
It endorsed the naming of enarics

Juneau Democratic forces be fi
pressed and accordingly an Im

It is reported in messages from
Fairbanks that Martin Harrais" fol
lowers are willing to compromise ;it
this stage of the campaign, by hav
ing one of their faction named na
tional committeeman.
Whom the Harrais men would
like to see succeed Daly could not
be learned It is probable that
they may agree on Davidson, since
the death of Daly.
