CHUDOVA, ALASKA, FRIDAY, OCTOBKK fi,
ALASKA'S CAPTAIN.
Alaskans are always proud of deeds of accomplishment,
honor and fame achieved, by any Alaskan. We, therefore, teel
mighty proud of the beginning rc*cord of the tirst Alaskan
cm let to West Point. Dining his brief career at West Point we
have watched his movements most closely. Press clippings and
dispatches have informed us of this steady growth in popular
ity with not only army officers, hut all who come in contact
with him. We have seen him graduate from the ranks of a pri
vate lo second and first lieutenant, and now join with his
friends in best wishes for a speedy advancement from the rank
of captain to higher rank in the army, lie lias represented the
people, instilutions and customs of the north most ahlv. He has
set a high record for other Alaskan West Point appointees to
.strive to attain. Alaska, and Skagway in particular, lias some
thing to boast in Daniel Pullen, the first Alaskan representative
to ever be admitted to the army school. Keep going, Pullen,
all of Alaska is behind you boosting.—Skagway Alaskan.
HELEN A WHITE RIBBONER.
Alaskan friends of Helen van Campon will be surprised' to
bear that sin* is campaigning for the “drvs.” The following
appears in the current issue of Collier’s Weekly under the head
ing, “(Jood for Alaska.”
“Helen van Campon, who writes about Broadway life and
goes lo Alaska for recreation, sends us this:
“ ‘Has Collier’s in its battling against drink ever men
tioned that the territory of Alaska will vote on prohibition this
fall, the vote, if it wins, meaning that prohibition will not lie
come efleotive until 1018?
“ ‘This fact seems to astonish many people that we
should want it. And the chances are very good for the bill’s
parsing. I know several saloon men who expect to have to go
to work, and seem reconciled.
“ ‘(live us a little credit, won’t you?
“ ‘Sincerely yours, HELEN VAN CAM PEN.’
“No, we didn’t know it and, without knowing exactly
whv, it does surprise us. The rougher outposts of the world
are ordinarily more tolerant of booze than the older eommuni
ties. If Alaska goes back on booze it will be pretty near a final
discouragement.”

Seventy seven persons in overalls in a garage in San Fran
cisco made tin1 police suspicious. They didn’t look like ante
buving customers and the garage had no need of 77 mechanics.
A raid disclosed a pool room. Now if they had posed as angry
citizens in a demonstration against the raise in price of gasoline
they might have got by.
-— ;o:
Hr. Edward C. Pickering, of Harvard, shattered the old
storv of Mars being peopled. “We have no positive proof oi
it not at all,” he declared. And so it goes, just when we get
all our metaphors nicely arranged around these age-old beliefs
along conies a know it all and forces us into a complete read
justment.
-;o:
Advices from Chicago are that the cost of living is to soai
again this winter. Women’s shoes will cost twice what they
did last year; laundries will raise prices; so will cigar dealers:
canned fruits and vegetables will hit the high spots and paper
bags are going tip. “Excelsior!” is the cry of the Iteinoerats.
The women win again. They don’t have to tell their age
in Illinois in order to vote. Of course, it took a little court pro
oedurc to settle the thing. But now that part of the feminine
question mark is protected from the prying man.
-;o;
’I’oasts to the king in British Columbia must be quaffed in
grape juice hereafter. However, the king should have no pro
test if he is allowed to drink his toasts to himself in naughty
nectar.
- ;o;--—
If all the rumored retreats were true, then the enemy arm
ics would be so far apart by now there would be no hope in
catching up before the war was over.
---;o;
The persistency w ith which after the war business is being
discussed in Europe shows that in the fall men’s thoughts turn
lightlv to thoughts of peace.
Bailroad wrecks are doing their share in keeping up the
death rate in Mexico during the lull in belligerency.
-;o;
From some of the things Pinehot says about Mr. Wilson we
should judge their cordiality is at least a bit strained.
---;o;
While the American--Mexican commissioners are deliberat
ing we are all watchfully waiting.
