Tremendous things are promised for
the week including and following the
17th of December. This old world
is due to loop the loops, chute the
chutes, slide the slides, slip the slips
and skid the skids, with a few tail
spins, side wiggles and other contor
tions thrown in for good measure. We
do not say that we believe the catas
trophes phophesied are bound to hap
pen, but imagine how embarrassed
you will be if you meet the editor in
h—eaven, and owe on your last year’s
subscription. Probably there will be
no pocket in his shroud, or his wings
may be moulted until a good pen
feather is unobtainable, or some other
catastrophe. We know it will be as
embarrassing to us as it will be to you
to send our collector around before
the reverberatins of Gabriel’s trumpet
aolo shall have ceased. When the
heavens roll back and you are sum
moned to walk with the just and the
unjust a subscription more or less will
not matter to the faithful. But to the
poor in spirit, to the meek and down
trodden publisher who lacks a jitney
of having enough to pay for his seat
in the celestial choir, it may mean life
everlasting. If you believe in the dire
prognostications, start to the next
world without having the weary edi
tor have your paper returned by the
heavenly postmaster marked, “Left no
address.”
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
Life is just one blessed thing after
another. The British Columbia gov
ernment is putting in a liquor store at
Rupert just as the Grand Trunk is
pulling off one of its boats and cutting
down its service to a fortnightly drag.

Five thousand men will be sent
through Seward before next May 1 for
construction of the government rail
road. Seward is not only to be the
distributing center for labor on the
railroad, but is also to be the supply
center, thousands of tons of material
to be discharged here during the win
ter and spring from the steamers
bringing this freight from Seattle. The
supply center will mean a large force
of trainmen, longshoremen, office help,
etc.-—Seward Gateway.
Those of us who live within a few
moments’ ride of a good hospital are
not prone to realize the blessings of
an institution of this kind. When
loved ones are suddenly stricken by
disease or accident is when the city
dweller appreciates his good luck in
living in modern times. The locality
without a good hospital is poor in
deed. By helping to keep an institu
tion of this kind alive you are insur
ing yourself and family against dis
comforts, and possibly death.—Valdez
Miner.
The Matanuska valley offers splen
did inducements in the way of farm
ing, and it is pleasing to note that s
revived interest is being taken by the
land and industrial department of the
Alaskan engineering commission tc
settle the available farming land, es
pecially that part in the immediate
vicinity of the government railroad
Congress realizes that without traffle
the government project “will be a fail
ure,” and no doubt special induce
ments in the way of freight rates anc
usual methods of encouraging the
homesteader will be included in the
plans for the coming year.—Anchor
age Times.

HAWAII RAISES FUNDS
FOR EDUCATION OF
DESERVING NATIVES
HONOLULU, Nov. 18 (by Associ
ated Press).—Establishment of a per
manent revolving fund for the educa
tion of young Hawaiians lacking in
means to improve their condition is
the aim of the Hawaiian Civic Club,
announced at a recent meeting of the
club.
It is planned that the first Hawaiian
to profit by this will be Kaohu McKen
zie, possessor of a tenor voice which
has been highly praised by John Mc
Cormick, before whom McKenzie re
cently sang.
According to the tentative proposal,
$4,000 will be raised and turned over
to McKenzie, with the understanding
that it be paid back later and used
for the education of the Hawaiians.
A club committee was appointed to
undertake the raising of the fund.
