GUARD AGAINST WINTER’S
RIGORS.
Winter is upon us, warns the Val
dez Miner. Every year a large
number of men are lost in the Ter
ritory by not taking proper precau-:
tions Alaskan winters, we are re
minded by Editor Selbjr, are the
most rigorous of any civilized coun- i
try known. The old-timer, who is J
most familiar with the climate, is i
the most careless and will take the.
most chances. In nearly every case
where a man is lost through the
rigors of the climate he could have
been saved had he taken even the j
least precautions. Many men will J
go out for days with little food and !
no provisions for bad weather and !
sudden storms. Just why the old- j
timer loves to hirt with death *s ^
unknown. The chechaeo will wait
for a month before he hits the
trail in a blizzard; but the sour- ,
dough, who should know better, will j
try to make one more roadhouse, j
and is seen no more until the spring ,
thaws uncover his body. An ounce i
of prevention is worth a good many j
frozen feet. Be careful and save j
your friends useless worry.
I
GOOD ADVICE.
I
About every two or three months
the press of the Third division, ■
newspapers at Anchorage, Valdez,
and Cordova, are called upon to !
editorialize upon the newspapers
getting together and boosting for i
the whole division. But most fre
quently, points out the Seward Gate
way. little "pokes” are made at
the various cities, perhaps having
some fortune suddenly thrust upon
them. Cut it out. Boost not only
for your home town, but for the
others. As far as the Gateway is
concerned, Valdez, Cordova, and An
chorage are all booming, and no
rr.a:ter what prosperity arises, the
Gateway and Seward are mightily
pleased.
One cannot dispute the fact that
Cordova is the copper city of the
North, and daring the summer
months is the center of the fishing
industry. All this means a large
population and correspondingly good
times.
Valdez is noted for the “get to
gether and boost for the district”
spirit. It is said that money' for
any legitimate proposition can be
raised in Valdez quicker than in
any other city in Alaska. This is
to be commended, for that is the
spirit that counts. Trust in your
own section and back it with the
coin and others will follow. And
there are mines and fisheries inter
ests at Valdez. *
Anchorage is the coal section of
the North, or will be when the prop
er connections are made for the
shipment of the coal and the further
opening of the mines. Anchorage
also has an agricultural and mining
district to back her up, something
that never will be taken away.
Seward has her own advantages.
All cities should boost, for what
helps one helps the other, if all
could only see it.
What division has the largest
population ?
What division pays a great amount
of taxes?
What division produces the great
est amount of exports the year
round?
Think it over, and the Third divi
sion, represented in publicity by the
Anchorage Times, the Valdez Miner,
the Cordova Times, and the Seward
Gateway, is some productive divi-;
sion of Alaska.
OUR NEIGHBOR’S METHOD j
Canada is making progressive ef- j
fort in combating the high cost of i
living, we are informed by the
Juneau Alaska Daily Empire. She
has gone about the matter in a
business way. A Board of Com- i
merce has been organized with dele- j
gated power enough to make it a ;
formidable economic force. The j
board can fix prices, alter them!
from day to day, set as many stan-!
dards of prices for varying locali- j
ties as it chooses to arrange, reduce i
customs and cancel patents. It is j
also intimated that it is considering j
the knocking down of tariff walls. j
Members of the board are ap- !
pointed for ten years, with renew- |
able terms. Their program content- j
plates the destruction of all illegal!
combines and restriction on trade, j
the prevention of profiteering by I
such action as will discourage any !
future activities in that direction. ‘
Individual members of the board j
travel throughout the country hold- i
ing sessions, to which all persons ]
having complaints may come. They j
teach the public what should be done !
and what should not be done with
reference to price control.
-
Such a dynamic force intelligently j
directed should be able to accom
plish a great deal of good. In ef
fect it is a high court of inquiry!
and adjustment, which hears evi
dence at first hand, considers all
the facts and applies them to the
situation under immediate consider- 1
ation, with a view to conserving the
general welfare.
In the meantime the legislation I
asked by the administration to meet
the situation in this country is still ;
held up in Congress. Instead of
facing the crisis, the United States
senate has taken four months to de
bate the peace treaty and experi
ment in mixing political medicine.
Among the letters received at the
Territorial Bureau of Publicity are
some disclosing a woeful lack of
knowledge, on the part of the writ
ers, of the geography of the United
"States.
One young lady of Johnstown,
Pa., who is a high school graduate,
says that she has made up her mind
to teach school in Canada and says
that Juneau is the city in which she
hopes to teach.
Another teacher starts her letter
with the question: "Have you any
:schools in Alaska?"
Still another says that she has
; decided to teach school in Alaska,
and therefore would wish to get lo
cated in Dawson.

1 (By E. Laherty)
n.
You wonder if our ills are real.
Or hearen a state of mind.
I will not speak of heaven,
But our ills are well-defined.
You speak just like a budding girl.
Of song and flowers and tears—
Let’s speak of shrieking shrapnel,
Of gold and profiteers.
Let’s speak tonight of things worth
while.
Of men who fought and bled;
Let's gaze across the fields of
France,
Where millions now lie dead.
We will not speak of orphans.
Or mention widows’ care;
Let’s speak about the soldiers
And the medals that they wear.
Let’s speak about the hiss of lead.
Or of the cannons’ thunder;
But not about such things as flow
ers—
Let's tear men’s flesh asunder.
Let’s buckle on the sword again.
And bear once more the lance.
While the tears of women mingle
With the blood-soaked soil of
France.
Let's march again to battle;
The mite that’s left we’ll give—
We’ll face again the foeman'9 steel
That capital may live.
Commercial greed has wrecked a
world.
That should give joy to man;
A billion more for ships of war
In far away Japan.
0 Calvary, thy tragedy
Has not allayed our pain;
Christ’s sufferings upon the cross
Have surely been in vain.
Two thousand years they preached
to us
About God’s love and care.
But the record of the past five years
Has killed my faith in prayer.
The power that can but does not
check
The sorrows that we bear
1 will not worship while I’m here—
May I not know it there.
