SURFMAN ASHTON
There is probably no publishing
house in all the world that turns out
bo much dreary, unread reading mat
ter as the government printing office
at Washington. It is pleasant to re
cord that these Saharas of the printed
page are not without occasional oases
that make one forget the hot sands
v one has crossed in reaching them.
Such an oasis is to be found in the
aunual report of the United States
©oast guard for the period ending June
30, 1919. Sandwiched in between
routine paragraphs is a brief but stir
ring account of the exploits of Surf
man L. E. Ashton and what he did
for the relief of influenza victims in
Alaska. On December 6, 1918, Ashton
loaded a dog sledge with medicines
and supply, and with one other man
Btt out from his station- at Nome to
bring aid and comfort to the sick and
dying gt Cape Prince of Wales, 160
mileB distant, apci at small settle
ments on the way. After treating the
sick at eight villages through which he 1
passed he arrived after a week’s jour
i*y at Cape Prince of Wales, where
he found 122 natives sick and 157 dead.
In nearly every cabin the living and
dead lay side by side.
Surfman Ashton took command. He
•onverted the school house into a
hospital and the postoffice into a dis
pensary, and swiftly built up an or
ganization by means of which he was
able to care for all the sick. He stayed
•n the job for ten to twelve weeks
and did not leave it till the dead were
buried and the epidemic was at an
end.
The restrained language of the of
ficial report no more than hints at
the extraordinary pluck, resource and
staying powers that Ashton displayed;
hut one may read between the lines
aud perceive there the heroism with
out which the performance of his task
wonld have been impossible.
Though part of the navy in war-;
time, the coast guard has a fine body
©f tradition peculiarly its own. As
loug as it continues to build up its
ranks with the stuff that Surfman Ash
ton is made of its fame will not lose
its old-time luster—Saturday Evening
Pest.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
News dispatches tell about an Alas
kan being held up while seated in a
Seattle cafe. Nothing unusual about
that. He would have been held up in
nearly every other business house in
the city.—Valdez Miner.
The aviators are now planning to
travel in the air from New York to
Nome. Many nice trips are being
taken by the aviators this winter into
Alaska, via the hot stove route. Many
Alaskans have never yet seen a flying
machine, and if one doesn’t visit here
pretty soon they will begin to think
that “there ain’t no sich anemile.”—
•©uglas News.
The Republicans of Alaska could
search their ranks with a fine-tooth
e©mb and not find a better man to rep
resent this territory on the Repub
lican national committee than John C.
McBride, who filed his declaration of
candidacy and indorsements Satur
day for the primary election which
will take place next April. Mr. Mc
Bride is broad, capable and progres
sive. He is a good business man, a
developer and builder. He is on the
square—a good citizen and a good
Alaskan. His home is in Alaska, and
he has lived in his home—he has lived
here for more than a'score of years;
-
and he has lived with his eyes open.
All of his interests are here, and he
knows Alaska and her people. Mr. Mc
Bride has never held office, and is not
an office-seeker. He has never shown
any desire to manipulate or job in
personal politics. He is a splendid
type of citizen—just the sort of type
that should be put dn giiard in the in
terest of the public. He would never
betray Alaska or trail the ensign of
those whom he represented. He ought
to be elected.—Juneau Empire.
TERRITORIAL NOTES
Articles of incorporation of the
Alaska Publishing Company were filed
with the secretary of the territory re
cently. The articles name C. E. Her
ron, J. W. Ward and O. P. Hubbard
as incorporators, who, with B. D. Pat
terson and Willard G. Herron of Ju-,
neau, form the first board of directors.
The capital stock will be $75,000, di
vided into 750 shares of the par value
of $100 each, the articles say. The
company will be chartered to carry on
a general newspaper and printing
business.
The Alaska Industrial Union started
the year with a clean sheet and has
no strikes of any kind on its hands at
the present time, Secretary Reed says.
All disputes which existed between
the Alaska Labor Union and employ
ers ceased to be when the Alaska In
dustrial Union was formed, Mr. Reid
stated, and members of the union are
now permitted to work as longshore
men at the Heckman dock, where the
open shop system has been in force
I
for several months.—Ketchikan Chron

Cold-Storage Junk Vs. Cooking of the Countryside
OCCASIONALLY some carping critic ventures the opinion that a good deal 1
of “bunk” is perpetrated on the floors of congress. Maybe these critics
do not know the difference between “bunk” and oratory for home consumption, i
For instance, Representative Thomas
of Kentucky, in speaking of a pro
posed adjournment of congress, is
quoted by the Congressional Record,
In part as follows:
Mr. Thomas. And that would
bring a change of living conditions
from cold-storage junk and indifferent
cooking to the fresh, pure food and
good cooking of the countryside. Con
gress could there mingle with the
thrifty sons and fair daughters of the
soil and breathe the inspiration of
nobler thoughts and loftier ideals. The frost is now on the pumpkin, the
ripened corn is in the crib, the golden wheat is in the bin, the yellow yams
are mellowing and sweetening in the cellar, the succulent persimmon and the
toothsome "possum” are now7 ripened under the cool temperature of frosty,
freezing moonlit nights, and a!) nature is redolent with the perfume of dying
flowers and aglow7 with the varicolored beauty of autumnal forest? and ihe
glory and splendor of autumnal sunsets.
And then to contemplate the epicurean richness of a country dinner
consisting of country-cured ham ; and hog and lye hominy, made only as they
know how to make it in Kentucky; accompanied by light, hot biscuits and
country-made blackberry jam and other like delicacies; and to crown all, as
a final course, a big, juicy, “possum.”
Such a dinner is a real and glorious feast, fit not only for a congressman
but for the gods; and after it is over, how7 pleasant to go to the old log
stable and crawl up into the loft as in by-gone days and he a hoy again, and
repose on the new-mown hay as of yore, and be lulled into peaceful sleep by
the patter of the rain on the old board roof, and drift away into dreamland
unmindful of ambition and the pomp and circumstance and vainglory of the
world.
