Its a good thing the Delegates at j
the Constitutional Convention have
already made their decision as to
where the capital is to be located.
I received a letter from a Spenard
ite (is that what you call them?)
in which he advocates Tok as the
likliest place to have the govern
ment seat located for the new state
of Alaska. He plead that it is cen
trally located as to population and
as to geography. Whether logical
or not there are very few capital
sites chosen for either reason. He
also mentions 'accessible'’ as an
other reason, because you can
drive there. Kodiakans would have
a little difficulty in this respect
The writer mentions a ferry to
the Mainland which, to us is like
a bridge to dreamland.
Tbe writer says: 'Tok is about
forty miles closer to Fairbanks
than to Anchorage but I am sure
the peopie of Anchorage can make
up for it by driving, faster.” An
chorage people may be faster than
other people, but my experience
driving the road between did not
suggest greater speed, but more
I caution. Traveling at excessive
; speeds in some places, you could
write a short book entitled From
a Bier to Eternity." if they could
find your body So doubt the
people, when they vote, will back
up the Delegates in their choice.

We failed to mention the earth- !
quake felt a couple of Sundays ago.
It was definitely a tremor felt by
a lot of people. Estimated time of
its duration was a half minute to
about 60 seconds.
Now that Alaska is on the thres
hold of being a state. Texans are
getting up in arms. According to
an article in the Witchita Beacon.
Texas honor is at slake. The article
says in part Texans have always
boasted that Texas was tbe biggest
state Alaska, however, is so big
that the entire state of Texas
could be dropped into one north
west corner where it would lie
froren and forgotten until some
chap with a dog team stumbled
onto it.
The article goes on to say; -Tex
ans 'Junk in superlatives They
claim they have the toughest men
in the highest heeled boots in the
world; the widest wide open
spaces, and the biggest battle
monuments Alaska, however, has
the tallest mountain peak in
North America, the biggest bears
and the most snow. Their men are
rough characters who wear beards,
parkas and hobnailed boots. They
can probably lick their weight in
Texans without warming their
frosty blood at all. “
