IT MAKES THE GRASS GROW
We’ve heard so many budding mine owners up here
hesitate and stutter when they try to tell us about their
gorund. Afraid they might overcall their stuff. Afraid
they might lead somebody to believe they had some
thing. In the same breath they are soaking their last
shirt to get grub and powder to go out and shoot some
more holes in the rock.
That ain't the attitude a-tall. If you have the con
fidence in the prospect yourself, and haven’t got the
money to do the work,—why don’t you invite the guy
with money to help you open the prospect? This min
ing is a tough game, for some reason, but there’s plen
ty of idle money in these United States, and the world
is gold hungry.
(Try and get it!) ^
We never saw any of these blushing violets in Neva
da, California or Utah. The more of a violet you are
and the more you blush and stammer, the sooner a big
stink-weed will throw you in the shade.
You fellows that have been struggling along for
years don’t seem to know the value of publicity. They’ve
got it down to a science Outside. They find a few
specks of gold on top of the ground and without sticking
in a pick tell the world they’ve got a new bonanza. We’ve j
got the gold here but we haven’t got that “bull” which;
grows it out of the ground. They’ll peddle the bull out!
theie on nothing and get a million dollars for develop-1
ment. We peddle the truth and get a million kicks in 1
the pants. ‘Sail wrong.
FOURTH ESTATE WIDENS
There’s no keeping a good newspaper man down.
Lester Busey, who started as a more or less modest
violet with his Seldovia Herald, published on a mimeo
graph, is blossoming forth into a full-blown rose. He an
nounces the publication of the Cook Inlet Enterprise in
December with press and ink and everything, fie says it
will be a four column, eight page weekly newspaper.
The people over on the Inlet are sending in their
money right now for subscriptions in advance and the
editor solicits advertisements from Seward business
houses.
The Gateway extends the hand of goodfellowship
and cooperation in the Enterprise’s intention of “print
ing real Alaska news, industrial projects, constructive
activities and live doings by live people.”
Subscribers will no doubt applaud the fearless pol
icy declared by a Western newspaper as follows: “We
wish to announce that hereafter our policy, politically,
shall be independent. On all other questions we shall en
deavor to print the truth.”
Guess there’s nothing we can do about it but they
will persist in playing up Alaska glaciers in pictures
published Outside. Can’t seem to find anything else in
teresting to shoot. It we didn’t know better we’d begin
ourselves to believe that the whole bloofning country is
ice-bound and start looking around for a pickusax to
get out the front door.
According to a census of wild beasts in our national
forests made by the Department of Agriculture, there!
are about 550,500 deer, 52,600 elk, 5,000 antelope, 5,1001
moose, 12,400 mountain sheep, 17,200 mountain goats
" 44,300 bears. Imagine the job of counting Alaska’s
big game.
Marion Talley will seek farm relief by going back
to her singing. Many other farmers would like to turn I
their notes into cash.
Among possible new uses for cotton now being
sought, we suggest stuffing the mouths of political
wind-jammers.

; SUPER FEME (T
THEITER TONIGHT
What is rated by critics as a very
fine production ‘Woman of Affairs’
can be safely said to be A-l en
tertainment. In one respect it ex
ceeds anything seen here for a
long time, and that is the great
cast of stars, headed by John Gil
bert and Greta Garbo.
The story has its start and finish
in London, where most of the ac
tion takes place. It is a melodrama
with unusual climaxes and a
powerful finish.
IF YOU BAVEiv-s TIMED FRY!
BRUHN’S BABY BEEF, you arr
certainly missing something.
