“Bill” McPhee Passes
William H. (“Grizzly Bill”)
McPhee, than whom no Alas
kan was more widely known in
the day : before the chechackos j
came to the Northland, passed j
away the other day in Frisco at
the ripe age of 84 years.
Freighter, packer, prospect
or, miner, 'trader—Forty-mile,
Circle, Dawson, Nome, all the
early day camp? knew old Bill
and loved him for his generous
heart and kindly ways. The
news of his passing will bring
a pang of regret to all of the
few old-timers who still plod in
memory the pioneer trails, for
Bill was the real thing in the ,
line of good fellows and true |
friends. ' 1
And We Paid Money for This!
(Editorial taken from an Io
wa newspaper.)
“Uncle Sam bought Alaska
from Russia for $7,000,000 and
it begins to look as though he
was gypped. Oh, we know ajll
about the gold and fur and sal
mon and other valuable prod
ucts this country has taken out
of Alaska in the last sixty-odd
years! We grant your con
tention that the monetary re
turn from Alaska has been
many, many times what Uncle
Sam put into it.
“But maybe you haven’t
heard what we just heard. The
relegraph editor, who keeps a
wary eye on such matters, says
Alaska is suffering in the grip
of an unprecedented heat
wave, with temperaturs around
100. What’s more, the heat
wave is reported to be heading
this way
“Now wouldn’t that jar you?
Here we are congratulating
ourselves on the termination of
a session of medium-oven tem
peratures, basking in a 75-de
gree atmosphere which, when
stirred up a bit by a good elec
tric fan, seems reasonably fit
ting to what the geographers
call the temperate zone. We
have agreed with all our
friends that after the two pro
longed spell? of blistering
weather that have marked this
summer to date it is inconceiv
able that the remainder of the
season could have mucn real
heat left in it. The official
weather man throws discret
ion to the winds and sends put
a forecast of “somewhat cool- j
or.” People you meet once
again are acting almost hu- j
man.
“And now into the midst of
all this refreshing atmosphere
is thrown the news that Alaska
is cooking up another heat;
wave for us! What kind of an
attitude is that? Why, if we;
hadn’t bought that territory]
when we did, the people up j
•here might be eating cabbage
soup and dog biscuits under a
Five Year plan. And this is
the thanks we get! Nice peo- i
pie!
It isn’t only our personal dis- j
comfort we are thinking about
when we contemplate this re- j
ported Alaskan heat wave. ]
It’s bad enough from that an
gle alone, but in addition to ]
that it messes up our whole \
fabric of geographical con-?
cepts. Where are we going to I
put a 100-degree temperature
in a mental picture of a count
ry with /fifty-foot snow banks,
polar bears, blubber-chewing
Eskimos, and' home-grown ike
cubes? It just can’t be done,
that’s all! Much as we appre
ciate the value of Alaska from ;
he financial standpoint, any-|
oody who wants the territory
can have it, as far as we’re
concerned, if they’ll only take
t away with them—away off (
iome place where it won’t
jother us with its silly heat
vaves.
