The opening of the beaver taking season within
certain areas of Alaska is, if Gateway readers will re
call, what this paper advocated last year in terms far
from words of endearment. We compliment the Alas
ka Game Commission for their action which, at this
time, means more to the pioneer than words can tell.
We had feared, what with the failure of the sal
mon pack and herring fishing to the Westward, this
coming winter would be fraught with suffering but
permission to take beaver, eliminates that spectre.
The opening of the beaver season will also be a
God-send to the many hard-working, people who, with
out hardly an hour’s notice, were kicked out of their
railroad job. Ten beaver each 'will at least suffice for a
grub-stake to last throughout the long winter.
To the prospector the Commission’s action means
an outfit for next summer and who knows but what
another big strike may be made. It will be the miners
and prospectors who will make this country emerge
from the doldrums. A real gold strike would populate
Alaska almost overnight.
So this time, instead of throwing the whiter buck
et at the Alaska Game Commission, we salute its mem
bers.
With the League of Nations again in session and
various nations prepared to go great lengths to attain
their end, perhaps the locust recently found with a
yellow’ W on its back, at Clarksdale, Miss., is an omen, j
War within seven years is predicted by those w-ho be- j
lieve in these sort of signs for it is said locusts similarly j
marked in the past foretold coming wars. Locusts thus
marked were seen before the Mexican War, Civil, j
Spanish-American and World Wars, #oldtimers declare.
Alaskans residing along the railroad belt should
accept this lesson from Zaro Agha, the 156 year-old
Turk; he has learned to accept with philosophic calm
whatever happens. Hence his age.
No one should aspire to be President unless he can
stand criticism from 123,000,000 people.
Now that school has resumed, what about a gym
nasium for the children and students? The city can
buy a town hall at a reasonable price. Why don’t they
do so and get this annual vexatious problem off their
chests.
A single brand of cigarettes now lias sales of more
than $200,0000,000 a year. It would be advertising to
tell which one.
The Senators want Alaskans to buy Alaska coal.
What’s the matter with the Alaska Railroad buying
Alaska printing; more printing, more tonnage.
Onlv 344 days until another investigation of the
Alaska Railroad.
