OCCURRENCES
Under the slogan, “Let George Do
It,’’ George Forrest, Jr., formerly of
Juneau, is operating a transfer busi
ness at Ketchikan.
The "Malamute Kid,” a well-known
dog musher of Nenana, was recently
quite badly bitten when he tangled up
with thirty-five head of his stock.
Rev. Father Turnell, who for the
past year has been in charge of the
Catholic church here, has been trans
ferred to Juneau for the present.
Father Van der Pol, recently of Sew-j
ard, has arrived here and will have
charge of the Douglas parish.—Doug
las News.
The mayor of Ketchikan and the
game warden stationed at the same
place had an argument in which the
mayor had one of his lamps put in
mourning. In casting about for a
mayor next year the Ketchikan people
should get one who can uphold the
dignity of the municipality in a more
fitting manner, and not let his wor
shipful eye be blackened. If there are
to be eyes blackened in a town, the
mayor should do the blackening.
The collier-freighter Nanshan is ex
pected to arrive in Seward about Nov.
10, with commission freight, according
to Assistant Chief Engineer Gerig of
the Alaskan engineering commission.
The Nanshan will have a full load of
freight, stfeel rails and other construc
tion material, besides a rotary 4or the
Anchorage division. If navigation has
closed on Cook inlet the Nanshan will
discharge all freight at Seward, but if
the ice is not running in the inlet the
Anchorage freight will be taken to
that port.
ANSWERS QUERY
ABOUT PAPERS
The following very apt answer to
a question propounded is given in a
recent issue of the Valdez Miner:
The Miner received a request from
an esteemed subscriber to the west
ward on the last boat, asking if we
could inform if “there is a magazine
~^>r paper published in Alaska which I
stands for progress, liberty, truth, en-1
lightenment and justice to serve hu
manity. Papers which I have seen
are mostly yellow, parroty and un
truthful and standpat; and are obedi
ent servants to all dark fo^yes which
oppress mankind, and do the bidding
of self-seeking politicians when the
whip cracks in the hands of the po
litical boss.”
Evidently our subscriber’s mind has
strayed from the accustomed grooves,
and he wants the morbid and sensa
tional. Papers were never so inde
pendent and truthful, and as little in
fluenced by politics as they are today.
Many papers thhoughout the nation
have taken up the cudgel for what
they term the “oppressed and down
trodden masses,” and are growing
rich doing so. These are the papers ,
which are untruthful and sensational.
Any man who has earned his living
by the sweat of his brow and has
t* sense enough to change a Canadian
quarter knows that the laboring man
is better off today than he has ever
been in the history of the world. The
man who works has the world at his
command.
The men who champion the labor
er’s cause, and labor not, are raking
in money they are not entitled to.
Very few papers give a whoop about
politics these days. They are too
busy trying to keep the creditors from
foreclosing on the plants. The editor
of the average country weekly knows
that the majority of his subscribers
are better informed in politics than
he is. To seek to change their minds
would be useless labor. We know of
no paper published in Alaska that
would fill the arbitrary requirements
of our reader. The man who is busy
has no time to waste in pragmatic

opinions which have not been proven.
Sociology and economics do not worry
him. His waking hours are far too
short to do his allotted tasks. It is
the dreamer, tho visionary, the daw-1
dling phrene’ic. whose waking hours
are taken up with the affairs of his
neighbor.
The paper whose editor constantly
appeals to the passions of the work
ingman rake in the coin, but they are
mighty poor dependence when the
flour barrel is empty and a job is
needed.
WHAT THE SCOUTS DO.
Boy scouts in Louisville, Ky., are
working for a cleaner city. These
boys were detailed to distribute 50,000
circulars explaining provisions of the
ordinance providing for the separa
tion of garbage.
Boy Scouts in Hamilton, Ohio, start
ed out on an inspection tour of the
city, visiting yards of the homes in
the ’nterest of the clean-up and pa’nt
up campaign. Pictures of yards in bad
condition or full of rubbish will be
taken by the scouts.

room in your house, can be found at
