AN INDEPENDENT - V jPAPER
Jo'n the Chamber of Com
merce and put your shoulder
io the wheels of Progress. Re
gardless of those who decry
the efforts of that body to
help the town and district,
there is no denying that it has
done splendidily in the com
paratively brief time in whicn
it has been functioning. It is
true that there are few visible
results as yet; no congression
al appropriations have been
forthcoming so far, but thb
world was not made in a day.
The Chamber has set in motion
the movements which in time
will br ng most of the public
benefits we need and it is up
to every live citizen to get In
and keep the ball rolling.
Tho e who refuse to do so are
poor citizens and those who
not o~l/ refuse to help, but al
so hinder the work of those
who are trying to do some
thing are bad citizens. If you
were out in the hills with a
heavy load that you could not
move; and some one came
along and gave you a hand
and h lped you get through
you would be mighty grateful
to the chap who did it,
wouldn’t you? Well the Cham- !
ber of Commerce is doing ex- j
actly that same thing.The onlj
difference is that its assistance
is rot for the benefit of one in
dividual but for the whole
community and district and
eveiyone in it. Then why not:
show your appreciation the
same as you would to the
ihap on the trail?
Do yo’i remember Lincoln’s
story a^out the little steamei
with the big whistle? Ever>
time they tooted the whistle it
’ V\y off so much steam that
tbs boat stopped running.
That’", the trouble with lots 01
people today. If they would
only u^e their energy to drive
the naddle wheel of opportun.
ity ir>-tead of eternally blow
ing th whistle of discontent
they would find themselves
gain? 'in the stream of success
~ -’an-ared fast that the barn
acle-; of failure wouldn’t have
a chance in the world to hook
. onto their little craft.
The person who is a traitor
to his home town generally
finds that “he is kicking him
self intend.”
I There is no better evidence
of a commendable community
! spirit than that of loyalty to t
[ town in which a pex-son lives.
! If a town is worth living in it i?
worth defending and support
| ing in its efforts to advance
with the rest of the world
Yet in every community you
| will find people who can see
nothing good in their surround
! ings. They cannot recognize
j that fact that though it ma>
! be humble, it yet is home
that it has clothed them ant
I fed them and cared for then
In sickness and in health, anc
has furnished them friendi
who have been steadfast anc j
true. They magnify its imper
fections and spread cloud;
wherever they go. They ofter
make life miserable for other;
and invariably make it a re
proach to themselves.
But there is a brighter side tc
the story. The abuse these '
short sighted people heap up
in their place of abode gene
ally falls upon unsympathetic ,
;ars. Neighbors and friend; I
;now them as they are—a;
people who might have beer i
valuable citizens, capable oi i
constructive work, but whose
dispositions have been warped
possibly through no particulai ;
fault of their own.
The views of the chronic
.cnocker and fault finder have
less weight than those of any
xther adult element of the
hhman race. When he thinks
he is knocking his -town he
cenerally finds he is kicking
himself instead.
n.
j Did you ever notice that the
own’s busiest men are alway.
’.eked to head all the commun
ty enterprises?

A large alligator is said to
lave been killed in Florida the

vhich contained several vanity

i tators leave off.

stances where more efficient
public health service is need
ed. For the latter he recom
mended a hospital boat for
service on the Yukon River
and tributary streams for sum-'
mer relief work and suggested
the advisibility of extending
this work throughout the year
by reopening the hospital at
the abandoned military potst
at Fort Gibbon. He also urged

.nought about much duplicat
on of effort resulting in inef
ficiency and extravagance, de- !
dared the Governor’s report
This was not attributed to the '
personnel of the various agen
cies but was said to be inher
ent to the method in vogue and
rnpossible of elimination un
il responsibility for law on
'orcement should be vested in
i single organization under
>ne chief having headquarters
vithin the Territory. Hence
recommends that a Terri
torial Constabulary be created
is offering the most practical
olution of the problem, which
vould not only effect material
jeonomy, but would increase
efficiency and eliminate the
confusion of conflicting efforts.
Governor Parks said: “Proper
y organized and in charge of
efficient officers, a constabu
ary with headquarters in Alas
ka can patrol the Territory,
nforcing laws at a minimum
'xpense.”

The Night E-afcre Christmas
'Twas the night before Christ

R.shed hundreds of people,
each wearing a frown;
They pawed at the leavings—

For their Christmas shopping
had not been done early.

GLAD
TO HAVE
Your Business
ANY BUSINESS THAT tries to get along without a bank
is a very small business, even then it is not too small but
that its financial affairs should be bandied through a bank.
A BANK IS one of the most important factors in the busi
ness life of the country.
TRANSACT YOUR business through our bank, no matter
how small it is now—the bank may help make it larger.
