LIEUT COMRD. BOUSON
The new policy of the Naval radio sta
tions in Alaska of purchasing such material
and supplies as may be obtained in the Ter
ritory instead of shipping in almost every
item from the States, is a step forward in
the advancement and development of Alas
ka and one in which its citizens will ever
feel grateful towards the Navy department,
for setting an example which, it is hoped,
many of the other departments will follow.
Lieut. Com dr. Bouson, chief of the Naval
radio stations, announced at yesterday’s
chamber luncheon that he had given instruc
tions to the above effect to all stations vis
ited by him on this, his first annual tour on
inspection of the Alaska stations. All bus
iness in the Territory will benefit to some
extent by his orders and in particular the
new policy will prove an incentive to the lo
cal coal operators who have had a difficult
task in finding markets for their products.
It is The Gateway’s wish and hope that
more government officials with the vision
and of the calibre of Lieut.-Comdr. Bouson,
may visit and view Alaska personally in
stead of doing business at long range.
PAGE DOCTOR CHASE
Civilization has done much for Alaska
in the score and a half years of its exist
ence as a known territory. But it has also
robbed us of much. It has given us the com-;
forts, some conveniences and pleasures of
modern life. But in so doing, it has taken
away from us those picturesque eras of the
settlers sweeping to our shores to conquer
the wilderness, the glamor of frontier days,
the rich experiences of Alaska in the mak
ing. Today we are just a handcuffed coun
try, rapidly becoming bored to death with
our sophisticated solons in the States. For
excitement we’ll have to fly to the North
Pole or climb Marathon mountain and tell
the world about it.
But behold! What’s this yam about Doc
Chase we had in last night’s issue, running
in this column. Doc, who travels out into
the wilderness of Kodiak Island, and, may
be, as reports would indicate, with nothing
more than a rifle in his hand, fighting the
“Brown Bair,” and once in a while bringing
in a trophy. To tell the story completely,
we are sizing up Doc Chase’s trips into the
wilderness, he being still all together and be
ing able to have his picture syndicated thru- i
out the United States with his latest catch
in the Bruin line.
.Not long ago an Associated rress dis
patch was received by The Gateway relat
ing the pathetic tale of “Big Jim” McCann,
of Boise, Idaho. “Big Jim” having encoun
tered a big bruin, so the message read, had
his arm torn nearly off and great gashes had
been laid open on his head. And then this
melodrama about Jim, which could easily!
be “graped” to the tales of the Cordova doc- j
tor, believing himself to be dying, scrib
bling on a piece of paper:
“Bill, the bear about killed me, but by God
I killed him first.”
Now such a wild yarn may go all right in
the “movies”—but no, it wouldn’t; it’s so un
real to life. We must have something more
subtle—Doc Chase has the idea! “Big Jim”
they say now, is going to get well. But as j
for those “bare” stories, we will wrait for an- j
other syndicated by Doc Chase—notes writ-!
ten in blood like the Idaho one seem un
real.—and besides, we are too civilized up1
in Alaska for that.
