VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
Skagway is all het up because
some chechaco reported in ‘Frisco’
that the town is dead. The Alaskan
for several weeks has been full of
communications and editorials burn
ing the chechaco to a frazzle. Our
good nighbors in the Gateway City
should remember Shakespeare's re
mark: “Methinks he doth protest too
much.”—Hyder Miner.
-—
If among the medicines in the med
ical kit of the Algonquin, the cutter
that has arrived iin Alaskan waters
to look after the health of the fisher
wen, there is a good stock of rye,
that ship will be the most popular
one to ever plow Alaskan waters.
If the medical officer in charge will
only prescribe some of the stuff for
fishermen, we predict ‘ that he will
have many cases with a high percen
tage of recoveries.—Douglas News.
It is not strange that Franklin K.
Lane, after years as Secretary of the
Interior, should make his parting shot
a bomb against bureaucracy in Wash
ington, D. C., as especially stifling to
Alaska? Bureaucracy has been the
curse of Alaska, and the Department
of the Interior has been one of the
chief factors in this curse. Mr. Lane
has known for years that bureaucracy
was damming to Alaska, yet it re
mained for him to show up this gov
ernmental fallacy at the last minute
©f the eleventh hour. It can only be
hoped that Mr. Lane’s parting shot
will have some good effect.—Seward
Gateway.
Charles Cameron, proprietor of
Cameron’s cafe, in Seward, is carrying
an advertisement in the Anchorage
papers in an endeavor to secure a
share of the trade from that city. The
plan is not new Outside, but is a nov
elty in Alaska, where to be a resident
©f one town is to incur the enmity of
the citizens of neighboring towns. It
has often been a matter of curiosity
with the Miner as to why business
hostelries to the westward did not go
after the traveleers from the time they
struck Cordova or Valdez. Many firms
send cards over by friends and dis
tribute them to passengers on the
boats, but this means of advertising
is not nearly so effective as news
paper advertising. A man away from
home will naturally go to the hotel
where he knows his home paper can
be secured.—Valdez Miner.
The correspondence of Mrs. John
L. McGinn is now conducted upon
Treasury Department stationery, she
being head of the war savings and re
lief work in San Mateo county, Cali
fornia.
Feneral Judge Bunnell has signed
an order declaring an 8 1-3 per eenl
dividend in the estate of the Ameri
can Bank of Alaska, deceased.
There have been two dividends to
now—one of 15 per cent, one of 1C
per cent and this brings the dividends
declared up to 33 1-3 per cent, to the
losers in the bank. The amount now
available for division is between $10,
000 and $11,000.—Fairbanks News
Miner.

Concrete Hut in Place of Igloo Will
Hasten Extinction of Eskimos.
By VILHJALMUR STEFANSSON, Arctic Explorer.
The movement to modernize the Eskimo bv providing him with con
crete huts in place of his picturesque snow “igloos,” as suggested by an
official of the United States bureau of fisheries, would be the death of the
• denizen of the icy north. Not only is the Eskimo devoted to bis age-long
habitation as the South Sea islanders are to their traditional garb of flower
garlands and fresh smiles, but he is far healthier, warmer and more com
fortable in his domed mansion of snow than he could be in any modern
house of concrete.
Their igloo serves as a home for two or three weeks. Then they build
a new one. Because it is new it is clean and sanitary. Tt is as warm and
comfortable as your library
The concrete hut, like the wooden hut, must be uncomfortable and
unsanitary. Whenever the natives have changed from the snow to the
wooden home there has followed pneumonia and typhoid and a tremendous
increase in the death rate.
The Eskimos are a migratory race. Contact with civilization has af
fected them and they are dying off. They must soon be extinct, and the
concrete hut hastens that extinction.
