A REAL HELPFUL STORY
s* I
One of the finest Jhuman-jnterest j
stories we have ever read appears j
in the August Pathfinder, just re-1
ceived. It is entitled: “Impressions I
of a Cheechako" and is written by i
Jane Bernoudy, a young woman j
who. with her husband, left Califor
nia to take up a farm in Alaska.
It is a story of personal experience
—the kind of a story that will do
more to correct the wrong impres
sions of Alaska prevailing in the
States than all the dry government
statistics can ever do. It is writ
ten by a keen observer, who pos
sesseses a vivid descriptive power
and a rare vein of humor. Every
one who picks up the August num
ber of the Pathfinder will read this \
story with relish, and wish there
were more of it. If you do not al
ready receive the Pathfinder, get
one, or a dozen, and send them
Outside to help along the educa
tive campaign. !
SERVICE STILL BAD
No postoffice service on earth
could possibly be as bad as that i
which existed under the adminis
tration of Burleson, the late unla
mented postmaster general, but the
present service is bad enough. The
Fouke Fur Company’s advertise
ment appeariug on this page should
have been inserted last week, but
the cut did not arrive on time, ai.d
three weeks have passed since no
tice was received that it had been
mailed. On the outside of the pack
age was a notice in big red letters
that read: "IMPORTANT! This
package contains advertising plates
that MUST appear in newspapers
on schedule time. RUSH. Han
dle with care,” All of winch was
a waste of printers’ ink.
JUST PLAIN STEALING
What would you think of a par
ent who would steal from one of his
children? Poor way to win the
love and respect of a child, you
would say. Yet that is just what
the Federal government is doing to
j Alaska. The net income from the
' seal herds of this Territory aver
i ages one million dollars annually,
and Alaska is entitled to every cent
of this money with the exception
of a charge for protection against
poaching, which the Federal gov
ernment pays, and for which it is
entitled to a refund. How much of
this money, which, if given to its
rightful owners, would mark a new
era in the opening up of the Ter
ritory’s resources, does Alaska re
ceive? Not one nickle. And yet
Washington pretends to be "vitally
interested in the welfare and pro
gress of the Territory.”
