SCOTT C. BONE
In selecting Scott C. Bone to be!
governor of Alaska, President Hard
ing appears to have taken the only
course left open to him—that of
naming an Outsider to a position in
the Territory which properly should
have been filled by an Alaskan.
So solidly were Alaskans arrayed
against each other in political fac
tions—for and against Wickersham,
and for and against Hazelet—that
there was scarcely a man left, of
gubernatorial stature, without at
tachment to one side or the other. '
Mr. Bone is not an Alaskan, but ■
he probably knows as much about
Alaska as any Outsider who could
have been found to fill the office—
more than a great majority of them.
And The News is ready to believe j
that he will make a good governor, j
As editor of the Seattle Post-In-1
telligencer, Mr. Bone displayed a.
genuine interest in the territory!
by making generous use of the col- j
umns of his publication for the j
benefit of Alaska, especially after he j
had paid a visit to the territory as
a member of the Seattle Chamber
of Commerce excursion. Mr. Bone,
because of his interest in Alaska,
and familiarity with conditions, was i
elected head of the Alaska Bureau
of the Seattle Chamber of Com-'
merce, and the affairs of the bureau
were intelligently administered dur- i
ing his incumbency.
The editor of The News has had
the pleasure of meeting Mr. Bone
and knows of some of the things he ;
•has done and advocated for Alaska. ■
i
And we are ready to welcome him !
!
as governor with confidence that \
he will give Alaskans and the Presi-1
dent reason to rejoice over his se
lection.
JONES STRONG FOR OWNERS
WASHINGTON. D. C. June 2—
Senator Jones, of Washington, has
introduced a bill exempting foreign
hip owners from American income
and excess profits taxes, providing
American owners are given similar
privileges abroad. Senator Jones
says the bill is designed to help the
American merchant marine.
COLORED FOLKS PROTEST
NEW YORK, June 2—The As
sociation for the Advancement of
Colored Peoples has sent a telegram
to Governor Robertson, of Oklahoma,
asking him to use his full powers
to prevent further trouble at Tulsa.
The association also offers to co
operate with the state authorities,
and to send representatives to Ok
lahoma to ascertain the cause of
the rioting.
MORE FLOODS EXPECTED
PORTLAND, June 2—Further
damaging floods along the lower
Columbia river valley are expected
as a result of a rise in the water
level on the upper river, due to
warm weather in the mountains.
The floods have already caused
damage estimated at more than
half a million dollars.
John Joslin, who has charge of
wagon road construction between
Tacotna and Ophir, arrived at Mc
Grath during the early part of Apiil
and now has a gang of men at work
on the project commenced last year
by the Alaska Road Commission.

FLU INVADES KUSKOKWIM;
EPIDEMIC IS NOT SEVERE
• The Kusko Times, of April 20,
reports an epidemic of influenza in
the Kuskokwim district, with many
cases at McGrath and Ophir, but j
of a mild type. The Times says:
“After escaping: the many epi
demics that have ravaged other lo
calities, many residents of this sec
tion have at last fallen victims to
an influenza much resembling the
dreaded flu.
“Dr. VV. F. Green, who returned j
yesterday from Ophir, where he had j
been called professionally, reports'
that most of the residents of Ophir'
were suffering from the disease,
many being confined to their beds.
“Among those reported ill by Dr.
Green are Mr. and Mrs. Sid Paul
son, Mr. and Mrs. Billy Jones, An
drew Hansen, Bob Evans, Arthur j
McClure Fred Roethlisberger, John
Vogtor and B. B. Smith. Andy Han
sen and Bob Evans were seriously ill,
pneumonia having developed.
“At Takotna, Frank McCaffrey
was the most seriously affected, but
was somewhat improved yesterday.
Mrs. Joe Oats was also confined to
her bed.
“On Monday the directors of the
! McGrath school decided to close the
school for a few days in an en
deavor to prevent the disease spread
ing among the children, but at last
accounts only four of the fifteen
children were able to be about, i
“Dr. Green, who had contracted a j
cold while attending patients at j
Ophir, was able to answer but a few
calls here before being taken ill
himself.
j “So far no very serious cases
j have developed, and it is hoped that
'the disease has about run its course.-’
Bob Evans Dies
In the same issue of the Kusko
Times is contained an annuncement
of the death of Bob Evans, men
tioned among those reported ill by
Dr. Green. He died on April 19.
He was a pioneer and one of the
1 best known figures of the Ophir
! district, having been one of the
first to reach that camp, 14 or 15
years ago.
—
I A young Eskimo reindeer herder,
known as Dunnatk, was frozen to
death early in Aotil, between Cape
; Wooley and Cape Douglas, a short
, distance west of Nome. He was v ell
known throughout the Seward Pe
ninsula country.
The price of feed having been
lowered recently, Douglas dairymen
have announced a reduction in the
; price of milk, the new price being
i 20 cents a quart, a reduction of
i five cents.
SHONACKER SAYS ALASKA
WILL ENJOY HEAVY TRAVEL
C. A. Shonacker, who arrived In
Nenana yesterday morning’ on the
steamer Tanana on his annual visit
to Interior Alaska in the interests
of the Zellerback Paper Company,
predicts that there will be an un
usually heavy movement of people
from the States to Alaska this sum
mer. In fact, he says, the travel
toward the .North started early this
spring and already would have as
sumed large proportions but for the
interruption in steamer service re-!
suiting from the marine strike. He
made the trip to Skagway on a
Canadian boat because of the can
cellation of sailings of American
i
steamers.
Like others who have arrived
from the States during the past
several weeks. Mr. Shonacker is of |
the opinion that abnormal condi- j
tions along the Pacific coast will |
and are already having the effect of
stimulating travel toward Alaska, \
and he looks for the boats to con
tinue to carry full loads for some
time to come.
Many of those coming Xorth, Mr.
Shonacker believes, will eventually
reach the Interior and help mater
ially to restore the populations of
the various towns and camps to
normal proportions. A still larger in
flux will arrive, he feels sure, when
the Government railroad is completed
and he looks for that also to put
Interior business on a much more
substantial basis.
Mr. Shonacker heard complaints
in some of the towns visited by him
along the coast but on the whole,
he says, Alaska looks good to him,
and the Interior country in particu
lar.
It is the intention of Mr. Sho
nacker to go to Fairbanks on Fri- ■
day, and to return to Nenana later;
to hit the trail for Anchorage, pro-1
viding he can get across without
encountering too much water and!
mud. <
