NINETEEN TWENTY
With the moon shining
brightly overhead and the tem
perature away above zero rho
year 1919 passed gracefully
way and the new year came in
to existence.
For some of us the old year
has sad memories, but happy
ones too, we nave weleomedback
many of our soldier boys we
thought never to see again.
As a district McCarthy has
be* n more than fortunate, for
the terrible strikes and labor
conditions which affected most
mining centers have not even
penetrated here.
The population here is small
er than it was a year ago, for
like many other Alaskan towns
it has felt the strain of the high
cost of living and the scarcity
of labor.
We must try to get together
more in the future, and, profit
ing by our mistakes, make 1920
i a bann°r year and McCarthy a
place to be proud of.
| We have the mineral, the rail
! road and the spirit. Never has
I it been said that McCarthy fail
ed to go over the top when call
ed on. With the same spirit
predominant in all our municipal
and home affairs this coming
I year we will surely reap the
ben* fits,

VISITS ALASKA
Mr. Alfred Bradley, who has j
recently been appointed from
: Washington, D. G. to be chief]
of the Agricultural, fisheries & !
fur industries of Alaska, left j
’ Chit.ina on December 2rd. for a
long trip into the interior, ac
companied by Game Warden Ed
Youngs.
Oeaving Ohitina with h wse &
sleigh, they travelled 107) miles
I abandoning the horse at that
i point they used dog teams to
the Boteinita.
This is Mr. Bradleys first trip
into the interior, and he is well
pleased witn it.
They found game very scarce
where there had been thousands
of caribou last your, only a few
were seen. Foxes also were
, scarce
i
The weather was perfect al
i though the theinometer at times
went to 56 below zero.
This official considers that
the expense allowance of the
game wardens in this Territory
totally inadequate for the a
mount of travel they should do
in order to properly perform
their duties and some good may
j result from his investigations.
Arriving back in Ohitina on
’ December 27th.
Mr Bradley lefi, immediately
for Juneau, which is his V
1 ask an headquarters for the
several departments he repre
sents.
“Your personal business interests would be bettered by a
bank connection. We believo that this bank can serve you
advantageously.”
