ALASKA PUSHES
ONE OVER ON
EFFETE EAST
Easterners seem to be surprised
that cannibalism is no longer prac
ticed In Alaska. In Calumet, Massa
chusetts, the Woronco Valley Calu
met, under the caption of "Way Up
North,” by "Chtlkoot," has the fol
lowing interesting article:
People who live here in the effete
and motheaten east, where civiliza
tion is three centuries old, have an
idea that the far nortli is still a iiowl
f ing wilderness, bleak and cold, with
| everything in a savage stale.
J And so thought we. until recently.
> when we had such notions blown
> away by facts brought to our notice.
« We always thought of Alaska as n
• country where the towns consisted of
I,
i groups of little shanties, at tie- water
, side, with wolves howling at tie- back
I door and a polar bear floating on a
* nA] s.f I,.si >e<wt t . I,,.-...
But, man alive, it ain’t no such
thing. Up in the modern towns of
Alaska they have the advantages of
churches, schools, opera houses, pro
gressive stores, up to the minute daily
papers, hotels, telephones, and the
towns are so brilliantly electric
lighted that, by comparison, Broadway
Is like a side street in Bingville; and
when society comes out the gowns
just knock your eye out. They are
‘ imported, not from the States, but
direct from Par-r-r-e-e, and diamonds
are plentiful on all sides.
When we were groping in ignorance
of the real facts, we Imagined that a
traveler, overtaken by night, and ap
plying for lodging, was handed a wal
rus hide kimono and told to burrow
into a snow bank. But, say, that's
another illusion. We have in hand
the advertisements of Alaska hotels;
and the person who has the coin may
get accommodations fit for royalty.
Steam heat, hot and cold water, and
"An Associated Press newspaper un
der your door every morning."
Years ago, before civilization came
to bless the country, the Alaskans
practiced cannibalism, but it is now
obsolete. Porterhouse and other
steaks, and choice poultry may be
had at reasonable prices; and a mis
sionary may follow his calling with
safety and his work Instead of himself
be well done.
The trouble with us here in the
east, living in the shadow of Bunker
Hill monument, is we think we have
a corner on civilization, and people
living at a little distance live either
in the jungle or among icebergs. We
don't travel enough and we don't read
enough. Had we not fortunately se
cured the literature previously men
tioned we would have concluded that
|the people made their Christmas din
ner from a couple of tallow candles;
but, as a matter of fact, juicy turkeys
!. sizzled in a thousand ovens, and the
brandy sauce and plum pudding was
right up to the Ritz-Carleton stand
ard.
Therefore, let us all rise and toast
Alaska, the land of violet seas, gorge
ous sunsets, silver cascades, irrides
cent icebergs, charming lakes and
towering peaks, where fish and game
abound, and salmon is so abundant
the people haul ’em in with garden
rakes. They eat what they can, and
what they can't they can. It was a
good stroke of business when Uncle
Sam said to Russia: "I’ll tell ye what
I’ll do with ye, Mister Czar. I'll gTve
ye $7,200,000 for yer Alaskey, bag and
baggage, totem poles and all.”

OLYMPIC TEAM
. TITLE
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27. — The
Olympic Club, of this city, definitely
lias decided to send its unlimited
basketball team, which won the cham
pionship of the United States during
the exposition tournament last year,
to defend its honors at whatever
eastern point may be later decided on
for the holding of the titular event.
The team has been practising regu -
larly for the last two months, and ts
said to have rounded into a form
which shows more speed and accuracy
than that shown when the premier
honors were gained. Officials of the
club declare that it is the strongest
aggregation of players that ever has
represented the "Winged O" organi
zation.

OLD-TIMER ON WAY TO SITKA
HOME.
S. R. Reed, one of the best known
printer prospectors in the north, ar
rived on the Northwestern yesterday
ou his way to the Pioneers' Home at
Sitka.
Mr. Reed has been all over Alaska.
For the past several years he has
been prospecting and mining in the
Copper River valley. Mr. Reed, like
many other Alaska prospectors, on
several occasions has had a fortune
within his grasp.
Before coming to Alaska he engaged
in newspaper work in various places
in the United States and Canada and
has done about everythig from hold
ing a “stick" to managing and editing
a paper.
Although now sick and unable to
stand the hardships of prospecting,
he is as optimistic as ever and be
lieves that a few months at the home
will regain him his health so that he
can take to the hills again. — Juneau
Dispatch.
