ALASKA SILVER ELIGIBLE
The Comptroller of the Treasury
has ruled that the Director of the
Mint may purchase Alaskan silver
at one dollar per ounce under the
Pittman act, as Alaska Is part of
the United States within the mean
ing of the law. Silver produced in
the Philippine Islands, however,
cannot be so purchased. '•>

During the war the patriotism of
some people travelled ajpng pe
culiar angles. The writer dropped
into a White Lunch, joitii if) 'i§17
in Vancouver. On the menu was
“smoked' sausage and pickled cab
bage." “Wemies and kraut" we
ordered, and the order was relayed
to the kitchen. In a moment the
CHINESE COOK came out and an
nounced: “Whassa mallfl dat fel
la? No Winnies on billy fay.” We
have wondered about the mental
Attitude ofjan outfit calling them
selves "White” substituting mean
ingless phrases for familiar names,
and hiring Chinese.

ther. A woman in this town raised
the merry mischief recently because
we broke a news story onto the ed
itorial page. She says she always
reads the editorials first.
The Dawson Daily News has pub
lished a voluminous special edition
devoted to the Mayo silvei camp
and general mining in the Yukon.
The number is replete wfrth inter
esting and use.u: information and
the News is to be congratulut... r
its enterprise.
The Ketchikan Chronicle reports
that Waikiki duck pond in Honolu
lu is to be filled and drained. Ibis
is sad news, but then life is just one
dam thing after another anyway,
so let’s try to bear up.
Must be expecting a hard winter
In Wrangell. Lots of weddings up
there.
