AN UNWISE ATTITUDE
Last year the federated Woman’s
Clubs of Alaska, whose president re
sides in Anchorage, had their annual
Year Book printed by the Lowman &
Hanford Company of Seattle. The job
was a most excellent one, and no crit
icism can be made of the work. The
price paid was about $700 of over $2
each for the 350 books. The job should
have cost about $555.50, according to
association figures.
This year the President is again
planning to send the Club’s work to
Seattle to the same firm. While we
have the utmost respect for the wor
thy president of the Alaska Woman’s
Clubs, we believe that this work
should be done in Alaska. The clubs
are supported by Alaskans, and if any
donations are to be made they go to
Alaskans for them, not to Lowman &
Hanford. This money kept at home
would help pay for the upkeep of the
schools of Anchorage, or whatever
town completed the work; it would
go into the channels of trade and ben
efit every one. By keeping the money
here it would add to the per capita
of wealth and would be an advertise
ment for the firm doing the work.
The Woman’s Clubs are primarily
the head of the civic organizations of
the Territory. They are expected to
promote civic betterment and to take
the lead in community welfare. That
they have been successful is a matter
j of note.
Anchorage, Cordova, Seward, and
Juneau have large printing concerns
which are fully competent to print
any book the Woman’s Club may de
sire to have printed. Their price is
as low or lower than that of the Se
attle concern. They employ a large
force of printers, pay heavy taxes,
and give hundreds of dollars in dona
tions annually to enterprises furthered
by the Club. That they should have
its patronage goes without saying.
Alaska can never be built up to a
point where it will be independent and
self-supporting under the short-sight
ed policies adopted by firms and indi
viduals of the class noted above. The
j Territory has made a large city out
j of Seattle and in time it will be ab
I sorbed by Seattle, as no country can
| be kept going without the support of
! its population.
! We believe the attitude of the presi
dent of the Alaska Woman’s Clubs in
sending the work of the Club to Seat
tle firms is most unwise, and cannot
help but injure the cause of the big
organization.
Down in California this week the
body of a woman was found dismem
bered and scattered about over a
marsh. It has been identified as the
remains of a prominent Oakland nurse
who has been missing for several
weeks. That this is no way in which
to treat a lady is apparent to those
who read. The puzzle to the average
reader is that with the road to infamy
so plainly marked so many of us step
from the well beaten trails of probity
and virtue to cross forbidden paths.
Airplane and Salesman To
Nuka Bay-Seldovia Today
Aviator Merrill, with Gus Gelles,
the traveling salesman as a passen
ger, were due to hop off from the
bay this afternoon at 1 o’clock, in
the Curtis seaplane, for Nuka Bay,
thence to Seldovia, where Mr. Ges
les will call on his trade. Prior to
the plane’s return to Seward, some
time on Saturday, it is planned to
drop in on Afognak and at Kodiak,
on business. The plan to fly to Rus
sian river Saturday, where a fishing
party had been planned, has been
abandoned.

TEN MILES ROAD
TO HUBBLE DOME
IS CONSTRUCTED
OTIS ROSS AND W. W. FRENCH
RETURN SEWARD WITH
ROAD WORKERS.
Ten miles of fine caterpillar road
from Wide Bay to Hubble Dome has
been completed, announce Otis Ross
and W. W. French, who with a crew
of 12 men have been working on
the project for 60 days. The maxi
mum grade on the road is 10 per
cent. Ross and French and the
crew returned to Seward this morn
ing on the steamer Starr. Mr. Ross
expects to remain temporarily in
town, but Mr. French leaves in the
morning for a short business trip
to Anchorage.
Weather conditions in the oil re
gion was ideal, with the exception
of one storm which lasted for three
days and which ripped one tent to
shreds. Both the Standard and the
Associated oil companies had sus
pciiufu uriiiiiig upci at
time of the Starr’s departure owing
to tools being stuck. The Standard
was pulling casing in order to re
lease the tools. It is expected drill
ing has been started again by this
time. The Standard is down to a
depth of approximately 4200 feet, it
is stated, and the Associated is down
it was believed for about 2400 feet.
A rough estimate of the number of
men employed by the oil companies
is given as 100.
AT THE LIBERTY
Herbert Brenon’s "The Breaking
Point” is another splendid action
romance by the man who made “The
Spanish Dancer.” Nita Naldi, Patsy
Ruth Miller, George Fawcett and
Matt Moore are featured in the pro
duction, which opens at the Liberty
Theater.
It’s an entertaining combination of
society love drama and murder
mystery, with a dash of the scien
tific angle that made “Black Oxen.”
Nita Naldi plays the same kind
of a vampirish role she had in “The
Ten Commandments.” Matt Moore
is the hero. Miss Miller is cast as
Elizabeth Wheeler, Moore’s sweet
heart, and George Fawcett is a
kindly old doctor. Some cast!
Naturally, it’s a Paramount.
