RETROGRESSION—OR PROGRESS?
There is a sustained plaint from the papers of
Southeastern Alaska and you can hardly blame them
off-hand about the falling off in the business of the box
making departments of the lumber mills. They say
that the use of paper boxes as containers by the can-!
ners is knocking the wooden box into a cocked hat and
chambers of commerce are asked to do something
about it right away before the lumber mills are forced
into the bread line.
To ask chambers of 0011111161*06 or anybody else to
do anything about it is like asking water to stop run
ning down hill. It is askings omeone to stop a certain
economic trend of trade without offering to pay the
trender what he is saving by said trend. If paper box
es are belter and cheaper is there anyway to stop the
canners from using them unless we make up to them
the difference between original cost, freight charges
and handling between paper boxes and wooden ones.
Of course it will have to be admitted that the wood
box makers must suffer from the change, but is it not
an economic trend of the times that paper containers j
are being substituted in so many lines of trade that
their use will never be stopped and that in the long run
it will redound to the credit of Alaska when her paper
pulp industry gets under way? We lose for a time but
we will gain in the end,so what are we going to do
about it?
HIGH EXPLOSIVE
The Midnight Sun, as published by C. J. Lincke of
Anchorage, is not so much for size but its TNT for
range and action. You can carry it around in your vest
pocket but it may scorch the skin like radium and if
dropped into the midst of a W. C. T. U. gathering it
would have all the effect of a bomb. If Lincke has any-!
thing to say he says it and HOW! The Midnight Sun j
is well worth any one’s perusal, but keep your finger
off the trigger.
Those wanning players got $5,000 each for their '
share in the World Series. Lookit all the money we ,
lost; we used to play for nothnig.
It is stated that the predatory animal hunters who
recently went out of Anchorage had to be guided back
home.
Speaking of investigations, considerable unem
ployment could be relieved by appointing commissions
and boards to study unemployment

that Seward children may again

money derived from this to as

fray operating expenses for the
six months period, which is de
sired.
Bake Sales, card parties and
dances, given once in a while,
together with the known 30 or
40 members who have consis
tently supported the institu

head, it is confidently believed.
In the meantime the next
meeting of the club is held in
abeyance until such a time the
public clamors for action.

Along in the Fall of 1929, Mr. j

Bodine went west from Kanatak
in Currys boat on a hunting ex
pedition. Two natives acompanied
them but quit the two white men
some time later. The following
Spring the wreckage of Curry’s boat
was found at the southwest end of
Wide Bay and the frozen bodies
