“LAK’ A ROSE.’’
Wouldn’t it please you, to see how
these outside politicians and grafters
are ready to take charge of Alaska
and make it “‘Blossom lak’ a Rose?”
as Jaques Crepaud would state it?
There they are in Seattle, meeting
25 strong in Gilmore’s office, par
celing out the political future and
the offices of Alaska among them
selves and nobody there to see—just
somebody to tell of it at 5th drink
time, after the get-together meet.
There’s the Seattle Times advocating
Seattle starting in on the get-rich
quick deal of “Selling Alaska” to the
Easterners—taking the Eastern easy
money and -delivering therefore any
thing the Easterner wants, even to
“scenery.” Next thing we know the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce will
through its Alaska bureau be opening
a mailorder house and selling Alaska
scenery to the bedridden people of the
Bast by mail. And, in the years to
come see if our prediction does not
come true: “Mt. McKinley installed
in Pioneer Square, Seattle.”
Seriously, however, we are not in
so much danger as you might think.
It is going to take a lot of time and
trouble for the grafters to get us
through Washington. In the meantime
our Alaska-born children are getting
into man’s estate every day, and what
they get hold of first they will hold.
All is not graft advertising we are
getting. The following extract from
a letter received by a Fairbanks hus
band from his wife outside is a case
in point:
“The Los Angeles Sunday Times of
March 14 has a swell article on
Alaska, on the front page of the paper,
from Washington, D. C., and when
Los Angeles papers talk of Alaska
you may judge the whole United
States is talking the same. The arti
cle states that Alaska’s coal would be
*sed on the Pacific coast as it is bet
ter than the best Pennsylvania coal,
and that they would stop shipping Vir
ginia coal to Alaska. It also states
that the “Sugar Beet” people intend
building a factory at some town on
the government railroad, and give
all kinds of financial help to the set
tlers, to promote the growth of the
sugar beet, as those raised in Alaska
carry the highest percentage of sugar
and the soil and climatic conditions
are perfect for the raising of said
beets. It spoke of various other mat
ters, of which you Fairbanks people
have heard for years, but if the fac
tory is a possibility, the thing to do is
for Fairbanks to “land” it. One can
not pick up a paper from anywhere
hut it has Alaska, Alaska, Alaska,
which, of course, is good.
"The article above referred to also
spoke of the oil wells of Alaska, and
said the one at Katalla, which was
producing about fifty barrels a day
• was of a quality of oil that could not
be surpassed anywhere in the oil
countries so far opened.”
The whole people of the outside are
milling around, all dressed up in pro
fiteer clothes and no place to go.
Alaska has always had a get-rich
quick name, and any advertising we
get now helps some in the right way.
When yesterday Secretary Payne
named Dr. Alfred Brooks to help
them plan an advertising campaign
for Alaska, to send people here, he
named a man in whom Fairbanks has
confidence, and there’s a chance that
tiie grafters will be older and balder
than they now are before they in
herit Alaska to the exclusion of real
Alaskans.—Fairbanks News-Miner.
ECHOES OF THE ELECTION
One of the surprises of the election
was the big vote at Cordova, the Cor
«teva and Eyak precincts giving more
than 600 Republican votes, which
went almost unanimously for McBride
and for Hazelet for delegate to the
national convention. —• Ketchikan
Chronicle.
; A heavy snow storm is reported to
i have fallen in Cordova which is ex
pected will tie up the Herron cam
paign wagon.—Juneau Capital.
Some people h»-i% trie barn after the
horse has disappeared and others sue
to recover the money lost on a prize
fight.

Information that there is enough
wool for a year’s consumption may be
reassuring to those who have the
price.
When the incoming hander totes his
own valise it is hard to tel! whether
he is trying to save a tip or is merely
caref ul.
They’ve invented an automatic hat
checker for hotels, so now you won’t
have to tip a girl to get the other fel
low’s hat.
There is much secret commerce in
; sugar at forbidden prices, and this
may furnish a theme l'or new film
melodramas.
Progress has struck ancient Jeru
salem, where it is said $100 a week
is the prevailing price for a hotel room.
Jerusalem!

Of course, if the paper situation is
not speedily improved, it may become
necessary to have our dollars printed
on satin or silk.
Doc Wiley of pure food fame says
he can live on 13 cents a day. He has
probably framed up some recipe for
cooking snowballs.
American tourists are warned that
living cost in England is high, but at
that it may be cheaper to go abroad
than to stay at home.
An English surgeon maintains that
gland grafting, such as advocated by
I)r. Serge Voronoff. is nonsense. An
other good graft ruined.
It will be as well to be a trifle sus
picious of the man who now begins to
inform the world that after all it was
wrong to hate the Germans.
So modern genius has revived the
“side by side tandem.” Then it is high
time for our Latin scholars to remark
that there is no such animal.
Thus far it does not appear that the
<oft drinks 'will give consumers any
thing that will enable the drink cure
concerns to remain in business.
The heart and soul of the woman are
most important, but you can’t get it
out of the heads of some that they
must depend upon legs to succeed.

It is announced that the famous
Krupp works will go into the business

forging the Big Berthas into piow
