HYDER, ALASKA, Aug. 23, 1922
WHATJA MEAN “STEW?”
Type can perform some queer,
antics. In the last issue of the!
Portland Canal News, our esteem-j
ed contemporary just over the line,
appears the following:
"A dance was given later in
the evening in honor of the
visitois, at which a large num
ber of Stew people were pres
ent.”
The Portland Canal News had no
intention, we are sure, to cast any
reflections upon the sobriety of the
people who attended the dance
given for Governor Bone, Judge
Reed and District Attorney Shoup.
But as remarked above, type ean
perform some queer antics.
JUST NONSENSE
One hears a good deal of non
sense now and again from other
sections of Alaska about the coast
region. None is more nonsensical
than the sometimes made remark:
"The coast is not Alaska at all, Ala
ska is the Interior and Seward Pen
insula regions." The absurdity of
such a remark is instantly recog
nizable wnen it is considered that
Alaska became kn iwn through the
activities of people on the coast.
Sitka in Southeastern Alaska was
established 119 years ago, and it was
there that Alaska was tnrned over
to the United States nearly fifty
five jears ago. For practically
three decades after the transfer
nearly all Aiaskan ac ivity was con
fined to the coast. In those days
people talked of Alaska (the coast
country) and the Yukon (the in
terior country.) Nearly all of the
real sourdoughs who went into the
Yukon country prior to 1897—
I thirty years after the acquisition of
j Alaska—had experience at Juneau
! or other coast points before going
there. To say that the Alaskan
coast country is not Alaska, there
fore, is equivalent to saying that
Alaska began with the Klondike
stampede. There are pioneers on
the Alaskan coast who still look
upon the Klondike stampeders as
chechahos, and upon Dawson, Fair
banks and Nome as new mushroom
' towns still in the experimental stage.
We have native born white Alask
ans out here on the coast who have
•pent their alloted three-score-and
ten here.
The fact is that such discussions
afe those, the echoes from whi^h
Once in a while reach the coast,
which involve the right of those of
any section to call themselves Ala
skans do no part of the Territory
any good. It takes all sections of
the Territory and all their people
and all phases of Alaskan history
from the time of the first Russian
settlements to the foundation of the
last oil camp to make Alaska what
she is. We might even go back
further (and we should) and in
clude the Indians, their villages,
water-craft, curios and legends.—
