eation of all news dispatches'credited to it or not otherwise credited in
this paper and also all the local news published herein.
The News would very much re- I
,«ret to see an Eastern man, or any
Outsider appointed governor of our
Territory. We have had experience
with the carpet bag variety of <
office-holders and there is little that ,
can be said in their favor. Bui
what are the people of Alaska go
ing to do about it? What have they
done to encourage the belief at
Washington that an Outsider should
not be appointed? Nothing that has
come to our attention.
As Washington sees us, we are a
very much divided people, unable
to agree on a single candidate for j
office in the territory, and with no;
show of willingness to compromise. 1
The situation must be confusing,
to say the least, to President Hard
ing, who appears sincere in his de- i
sire to do something worth while |
for. the territory. It would be aj
lot easier if Alaskans would get to-j
gether on the problem of appoint- j
ments and eliminate some of the j
factionalism. With a solid front, i
Alaskans can get almost anything J
they desire at Washington. Without!
it, we will get just what Washington
is inclined to give us, and no more. |
_ I
Newspaper and magazine writers,
have done a lot to injure Alaska,!
and now comes the New York Her
ald, one of the biggest and best
papers in the country, witfi a large j
engraving of Mendenhall glacier, j
and a lot of bunk about the hard- i
ships endured in reaching the place j
with a camera. The picture shows
a section of the glacier, with the
summer sun shining brightly on
the ice, and a young man in a sport
cap, light overcoat and pointed
dress shoes, turning the crank of
a moving picture camera. Beneath
the picture is this caption: “Close
up of the Great Mendenhall glacier,
second largest in Alaska. Joe Mat
tingly traveled 320 miles with dog
teams to get it and, at 44 degrees
below' zero, had to thaw out his
camera.”
As an exchange points out, Men
denhall glacier is only 15 miles
from Juneau, and is one of the
smallest of Alaska’s many glaciers,
and situated in a section of the
territory where extreme weather is
unknown.
Large newspapers, as a rule,
have men in their employ whose
duty it is to ascertain the truth of
statements appearing in the paper,
but The Herald man evidently over
looked the glacier fake.
The Eagles of Ketchikan recent
ly staged a play and turned the
receipts over to the city’s park fund.
The bowling alleys at Sitka are
Teported to have enjoyed a big run
during the winter, women as well
-as men going in for the sport.
Charles E. Finzel, for manjr_years
proprietor of the Lotus Billiard
Parlor, at Ketchikan, has moved his
outfit to Juneau.
It is reported that the White Pass
will not conduct a Midnight Sun ex
cursion down the Yukon this year,
because of the loss of two of the
company’s steamers last fall, in the
ice.
MISSION GIVES LIBERALLY
TO HELP EUROPEAN RELIEF
When the appeal for financial aid
or the starving children of Europe
vas heard at St. Mark’s Episcopal
nission, shortly after Christmas,

sum by Easter.
The boys of the mission were
fiven permission to go into town
Saturday afternoons, to get jobs of
riling wood, shoveling snow and

all entered into the work with en
thusiasm, with the result that the
children of the mission raised a
total of $121.50. The father of one
of the children and a few of the
village people gave $19.50 to the
fund, and the members of the mis
sion staff brought the grand total
to $210.
One little girl’s father gave her
$10 and shq immediately put the
money in the fund, together with
$4.50 that she had earned. Another
girl, who has not walked for nearly
two years, earned $21.50 by crochet
ing and knitting, and one of the
boys earned $20.
i The members of the mission staff
are Miss Bessie B. Blacknall, Miss
Jackson, Miss Myrle Rose, Miss
Fern Rose and Arthur Wright.

| DEATH SUMMONS N. G. COX;
WAS OLDTIME NORTHERNER
i N. G. Cox, who was brought to
i Nenana from Livenjrood several
days ago for treatment for a com
| plication of diseases, died at the
I Government hospital shortly after
! two o’clock this afternoon. He was
I in a critical condition when he ar
rived here and small hope was en
tertained for his recovery. Death is
attributed to heart disease and
dropsy.
The deceased was one of the most
widely known oldtimers in Interior
I Alaska. He was in business for
many years at Chatanika and was
more recently engaged in business
in the Tolovana, where he is sur
vived by a wife. He was a member
of the Fairbanks igloo of Pioneers
and probably will be buried by that
organization.
W. R. Taylor, Billy Burke and
! Earl Slipper left for the Kantishna

by Mrs. Casparis. Slippern will have
1 charge of the Mt. McKinley Gold
