Some Wise Men
The couple of weeks tour of the Con
gressional party has undoubtey been
a great help to Alaskan papers. They
had plenty of material with which to
fillup extra space. As far as the peo
pie who took the trip were concern'd,
their education in things Alaskan did
n’t advance very much. They undoubt
edly saw a lot of good scenery alon^
the coast, and the government railroad,
but they couldn’t have learned very
much about a country with an area of
over half a million square miles. They
might, however, listen to what Dele
gate Sutherland has to tell them, and
thus gain some knowledge of the con
ditions in Alaska.
If the company of Congressmen
remember to do anytning for Alaska,
during the next session, we hope they
will not repeat some of their past Der
formances.
An Alaska mining company re
cently presented the city of Seattle a
copper nugget weighing three tons. It
now remains for some enterprising
Seattleite to gold plate the nugget and
peddle it to some Alaskan.

A headline seen in an Alaska paper
informs us that the French now pre
serve singers voices. We have eaten
preserved raspbeiri. s, strawberries, and
other berries and fruits, but
never preserved voices. Well, the
French always did advance.
