HIS LAST ASSIGNMENT
“Be sure and make the acquaintance of Palmer Hut
chinson, when he arrives in Sewarcl. You will find him
a ‘regular fellow',” stated Lieut. Carl B. Eileson, Alaska's
flying ace, to the Gateway representative, as he passed
thru the town a few weeks ago. So when the Wilkins
party arrived, his acquaintance was made. He made us
feel immediately at home and for an hour and a half en
thusiastically recited details of proposed flight over the
Polar regions—of his hopes and ambition to send back to
his paper “scoops” of national scope. He made our of
fice his headquarters. He was indeed a splendid chap.
Now he is dead! Intent, no doubt, listening to the
vibrant thrumming of the invisible plane propeller, and
while lending a hand, he walked into the arms of death,
dying almost instantly. Palmer Hutchinson was a bril
liant and keen young student of the Fourth Estate. His
feet were firmly planted on the first rungs of the ladder
of success. Little did anyone dream the Wilkins assign
ment would be his last. In his passing, he has gained
the greatest assignment of all.
THAT HOSPITAL FOR INSANE
An Associated Press dispatch informs us that Gov.
Geo. A. Parks recommended the erection of a hospital for
Alaska's insane at an expenditure of half a million dol
lars somewhere else in the Pacific Coast States.
Climatic conditions were emphasized as the reason
for placing the hospital in the States. We are glad of!
that, for we suspected the “Seattle spirit.”
There is no question that persons afflicted with di
sease are benefitted by a change of climate and Alaska's
unfortunates would be helped by being taken to another
climate but it should be a climate radically different then
ours such as Southern California, or Arizona, and not
the very similar atmosphere of the North Pacific States.
This rule, like any other of that kind, should and
does work both ways, so why not erect a hospital in Al
aska for the care of the insane of the more torrid States
in exchange for their caring for our unfortunates who
might be benefitted by a change of climate?
At that we question the advisability for the expen
diture of so large a sum at this time when Congress is
unwilling to grant smaller sums for improvements abso-i
lutely necessary for the development of Alaska, such as
roads and trails, aids to navigation, etc.
A more liberal policy along these lines and the lifting
of some of the restrictions of so-called conservation with
a more strict supervision of the importation and employ
ment of drug addicts in the salmon canning trade would
reduce the number of Alaska insane to a minimum. We
know of two cases this winter where insanity is directly
traceable to financial losses caused by government restric
tions: one in the development of coal, and the other, tim
ber restrictions.
IS REAL DEVELOPER
The Standard Oil Company is a real developer. Its
operations in Alaska indicates that it has vision and ini
tiative. No doubt the two factors have also greatly con-1
tnbuted to the great success of this corporation.
The station in Ketchikan is to be improved. The
company has established stations in various parts of Al
aska, some of which do not pay even at the present time.
The station when first established here didn't pay.
But the company looks to the future, as well as taking
care of the present. Its faith in the permanancy of Alas
ka is a rebuke to others who cannot see that Alaska is
bound to develop into a great industrial empire.
There are few men and corporations in Alaska with
vision and initiative, who can see beyond the end of their
nose, ready to risk their capital and energy, who love the
game for the sake of doing something worth while, rath
er than the money that it might bring and these are the
real developers—the kind of men who civilized the West
and who made America great.—First City News.
Speaking of indoor sports: An annual smoking con
test in England was won by Henry Lucky who kept his
pipe going an hour and a half without relighting. Any
Alaskan sourdough can do that.
