PASSING OF THE SOURDOUGH
It is regrettable, but the sourdough
is passing—the old-timer of the vin
tage of ’97, ’98, ’99 and 1900. For the
most part they were good men all,
loyal, hard-working, fearless, with the
true pioneer spirit. They gambled
their fortunes, their health and their
lives for the development of the coun
try and the homestake.
Many of them fell by the wayside
early in the game, passed on, unable,
to fight on longer, and were laid at
rest tenderly by their friends. Others
battled successfully the early hard
ships and have devoted their lives to
the upbuilding of Alaska.
In the early days of the rush men
came north ranging in age from 16 to
60. but the majority of them were be
tween 25 and 40. That was twenty
years ago, so those who have lived on
are now well advanced in age; that
is, the greater part of them.
Many of these old-timers, through
hard work and care, have built up
substantial business enterprises; have
made money, and now, within the next
few years, they will be retiring from
active participation in the battle for
business, or will, by the very nature
of the existence of mankind, be called
forth to render an account of their
stewardship upon earth.
It is the way of the world that the
old must step aside; that the young
must step up; and that leads to the
question as to what the young men of
Ketchikan and Alaska generally are
doing to prepare themselves for the
responsibilities which will soon be
thrust upon them.
To the men of business who are
studying it, who are trying to learn
every feature of it, will fall the re
sponsibilities, the higher incomes, or
possibly the business itself.
In one of the largest hanks of
America today there is a young man
in charge of the loan department. Six
years ago he was havinig difficulty
finding a sufficient quantity of money
to keep him alive. He was energetic,
however, and was picked out for an
important position. While in that
place he studied several of the de
partments, and when the time came
for selecting a man, was ready to fit
in. He was given a trial, made good,
and is now one of the highest-priced
bank officials in America.
Within the next five years there will
be many young men picked for posi
tions of importance in Alaska. It will
be up to them now in lesser positions
to prepare for them.—Ketchikan
Chronicle.

According to unofficial reports, the
navy bunkers and docks in Seward will
probably be constructed next year
possibly preliminary work being done
this fall and winter. With coal com
ing into Seward regularly, and the
docks constructed, this city will be
the important coal center on the
Alaska coast.—Seward Gateway.
Many persons in the city are com
plaining over parcels being rifled ii
the mails. Packages have left Seat
tie which have been opened and par
of their contents extracted. The mai
robberies of last winter apparently ar<
being repeated on a smaller scale
That these robberies are committe<
on the boats is certain. Steps shouk
be taken to give mail matter bette:
protection. Several thefts have beei
reported to the Miner by citizens dur
ing the past week.—Valdez Miner.

KETCHIKAN NURSE NOT
SATISFIED WITH OUTSIDE
“I am never going to leave Alaska
again until I go by airplane, and I be
lieve that will be a long time,” said
Miss Mary Patton, who returned to
Ketchikan after spending two months
visiting relatives and friends in New
York, Philadelphia and other cities.
“In New York city, at one of the
hotels, I had a small portion of cold
roast beef,” said Miss Patton, “and
they charged me $1.50 for it. Right
then I knew I wanted to return to
Alaska for all timye.”
