COMMENTS OF ALASKA PRESS.
If all the folks come back to Alaska
next spring that it is claimed are
coming, the S. R. O. sign will have to
be put up all over the Territory.—
Douglas News.
The people who have business in
terests in the district should see that
they will be the gainers through bet
ter and larger work on the part of the
Commercial Club, and so should be
willing to give it the support that it
should have. One of the best ways in
the world for getting together for the
development of the interior is to join
the Commercial club and put your
shoulder to the wheel and BOOST.—
Fairbanks Citizen.
The weather has been so mild out
at Anchorage that they are getting
one of the railway commission’s boats
fixed up to operate between that place
and Seward. At Cordova flies have
appeared already and at another
v/oetward town an old-timer has al
most gone crazy because his weathre
predictions have all gone wrong this
year. People in Alaska get so used
to kicking about the weather in win
ter time that when it is pleasant they
are disappointed.—Douglas News.
Now is the time (or Valdez to start
to advertise her advantages as a
home town. Few persons in the states
know that Alaskans live in a state
other than savagery. Few parents
have knowledge that Valdez has fine
schools, churches, clubroonis and li
braries. Most Uitlanders believe this
country is ice bound the greater part
if the ye<ir, and it might be well to
start a campaign to teach them the
truth about our wonderful country.
1 here will be a tremendous influx of
immigrants this spring and if we are
t i get our share we must be up and
• ;ing.—Valdez Miner.
Until the United States supreme
< mrt passes on the validity of the
irritorial cannery taxes every de
I rtment of the Territory should be
i mtructed in strict economy, in view
c the fact that the pension money
f >r the pioneer men and women of
he Territory is unpaid for the past
■viuarter, and it is generally known
that the 1919 revenues of the Terri
tory will be the lightest on record.
On top of this is the danger of a hos
tile decision from the United States
* supreme court completely divorcing
the Territory from -fisheries tarxation.
—Juneau Dispatch. i
The action ot the government in
introducing a system by which the
merit and efficiency of the members
of the Signal Corps will be properly
rewarded is pleasing to the patrons
of the United States cables and tele
graph lines of Alaska. For the last
several years The Empire has prob
ably been the largest patron of the
United States cables in Ala3ka.During
all those years the courtesy and ef
ficiency, the purpdBe to please and
the fidelity to the service, of those
in charge of the cable offices has been
entirely in keeping with the high
standards and fine traditions of the
United States army.—Juneau Empire.
It is a well known fact that thieves
have gutted Innumerable buildings of
their contents, but that does not ex
onerate the thieves. The taxpayers
pay for fire and police protection. If
a property owner is absent from the
city and his house catches on fire, the
fire department takes just as much
care to extinguish the flames as
though the owner was present. This
should be the case Where it is known
that a building has been robbed. The
police should be instructed to go into
the matter, and where it Is known
that certain articles which may be
easily identified have been stolen,
and there is good reason to believe
certain parties are guilty, search
warrants should be gotten out and the
loot recovered for its owners, and the
looters placed for a few years on the
wood pile.—Skagway Alaskan.

The editor of the Ketchikan Pro
gressive-Miner (who must be a good
Alaskan) recently aserted in his
paper that the government railroad
which is being built to tap the re
sources of the interior of Alaska
would never pay expenses. He says
the project is a waste of money.
These are the kind of boosters that
help (?) Alaska.

The following advertisement ap
pears in the Nenana News: “Do you
wish to write a business, friendship
or love letter that will bring results?
A speech, invitation or letter of con
dolence? Let me help you. This is
my speciality and of especial value
to foreign born citizens. Confidential.
Prices reasonable. Apply to Mrs. D.
Orsay, the Little Tailor Shop, 3rd and
A.” Handy person to have around a
mining camp.

Strict watch is being kept to the
gateways to the Interior to keep in
fluenza from entering there, and al
most everyone has hopes that the
epidemic will not get a foothold
there. So strict is the watch kept
tliat at Flat City an Indian, hearing
some white men talking about the
high death rate in the states, made
the remark that his brother died
over on the Yukon. The health au
thorities immediately quarantined
the Indian village and did not find
out until some time later that the
Indian’s brother died eight years be
fore.
-♦
It was reported at one time that
the Indians of the Kotzebue sound
and other regions had stampeded
from those places to the Kouykuk to
avoid influenza that was raging
among them. The report had the
folks of the interior worried lor a
time, as they thought the Indians
would bring the flu with them. The
rumor afterwards proved false and
the interior ceased worrying.

Fred Kiel, who has a fox farm on
the Tanana river at its confluence
with the Totatlanika, wag in Nenana
last month and reported that a few
red and one silver fox escaped from
the farm but came back again. They
hung around the place and evaded
capture. Kiel laid traps for them
and succeeded in capturing the sil
ver fox, whose pelt is valued at
$200.

While digging through the frozen
gravel on Horseshoe creek in the
Kobuk country prospectors unearth
ed the skeleton of what is claimed to
be a prehistoric mosquto. The skel
eton was about the size of an eagle
of our day, but conformed to the Alas
kan mosquito of today in general
appearance. The bones were all dug
up and the insect has been recon
structed and will be sent out in the
spring to a, museum. There is no
doubt but that a flock of these pre
historic mosquitos could make life
miserable even for the mammoth an
imals that roamed the country in
prehistoric days.
