LOOKING FOR MORE TROUBLES
Ever stop to be thankful for th“
troubles of your job asks Robert R.
Updegraft in “The Informant”.
When you pet the right slant on
troubles, you discover that they
are rather useful, after all. They
pay about half your salary.
It’s this way: whether you are
the clerk, errand boy or the man
ager; whether you sell or ship or
keep books someone could be found
to handle your job for about half
what you get. if it were not for the
troubles—the things that go wrong,
the people who treat you contemp
tibly, the difficulties that have to
be met and overcome.
It takes intelligence, patience,
tact and courage to meet the
troubles of any job. That is why
you hold your present job. And it
may be the reason you don’t hold a
bigger 9ne!
Who knows perhaps if you went
looking for more troubles and, in
stead of more troubles and trying
to duck them, developed the habit
of meeting them half way and lick
ing them, you mig&t very soon find
yourself getting twice as large a
salary as you do now! For it’s a!
fact, you know, that there are plenty
of bigger jobs waiting for ) >lks who !
aren’t afraid of the. troubles con
nected with them.
SUTHERLAND WINS POINT
The amendment of fisheries re
servations by the Bureau this week
with attendent broadening of the
right of the smaller cannery com-1
panies and greater restrictions on
the larger concerns is a decisive j
victory for Delegate Dan Sutherland
in his fight to conserve the rights,
of the small operators declares the
Seward Gateway. Mr. Sutherland
has had many of the proscribed
areas changed, giving independent
canners a chance to operate.
But the fight is not yet ended.
Until the delegate compels the pack
ers to remove their plants from the
mouths of the rivers, the fish supply
will be steadily depleted. It is im
possible for the fish to spawn when
they are pursued for miles into
fresh water streams and harrassed
until the schools are broken up. The
delegate’s recent sensational expo
sures have resulted in great good
for the fishing industry, and has
caused the department bureaus to
realize that Alaskans wifi fight to
preserve the integrity of Territorial
resources. Until the packers pay a
reasonable sum for doing business
in Alaska, and are restrained from
wasting edible fishes Alaskans will
be found squarely behind Mr. Suth
erland, endorsing his every action.
Mr. Sutherland's figjht will ultim
ately result in Territorial control
of our fisheries and our seal herds.
Rev. and Mrs. W S. Marple, of
Anchorage, are leaving for the
States this week on an extended
visit. Rev. Marple will attend the1
general assembly of tfoe Presby
terian church at. Indianapolis during
his abence from Alaska.
Col. H. P. Warren, for a number
of years in charge of the stores de
partment of the Alaskan Engineer
ing Commission has resigned his
position and is now associated with
a private concern in Portland.

"HARRY” CARR BUYS HOTEL
SETTLES DOWN AT PASCO 1
W. L_ (Harry) Carr, pioneer res
ident of Nenana who left for the
Black Hills country several months
ago for a visit with relatives, writes
Alf Ekeland, of The Portland, that
he is now in the hotel business at
Pasco, Wash., where he and an as
sociate have taken a long term lease
on the Hotel Cunningham, the larg
est hotel in Pasco. The hotel build-'
ing is an attractive three-story
structure with large lobby and a
number of storerooms on the ground ,
floor and guest rooms on the two i,
upper floors, each room having its j
telephone and all other modern con- j
viences.
The letter says the railroad strike ,
which lasted nine months, made i
business bad at Pasco for a time,' i
but the strike is settled now and j
things are looking up. Pasco .is a j,
division point, with about 1,200
railroad men stationed there. It is i
also expected the Columbia river ir
rigation project will be put through
which will bring additional prosper
ity to Pasco. Considerable money has
already been appropriated for a
survey and work on that will start
the coming summer.
There is a lodge of the Loyal
Order of Moose at Pasco, with a
large membership. Mr. Carr is a
member of the local lodge.

es that the efforts were no: without
