AFTER NEW LAURELS
We see by the papers that “Art” Shonbeck of An
chorage has taken up. along with his many other activ- j
ities, the science of farming. That is, he is raising
things and Nature is supplying the science. He is dem
onstrating beyond all doubt, quibble or carp that good
things to eat may be raised in Alaska as well as any
where else in these latitudes by tickling the soil and
fertilizing it with elbow grease.
After lo, these many years of watching this “ob-1
jective” citizens, we never know in what direction he is
going to break out next. Suffice it to say, its always in a
direction that points progress, or something for Alas
ka’s good. Art has been the chief live-wire in every
community in Alaska he has honored with his presence.
He’s been the first to risk his money in many mining
camps. He has been a good-roads booster and one of
the first in the air. He is‘always been active in civic af-,
fairs and likes good sportsmanship. While other folks;
are talking of beginning to do things, Art is doing!
them. Now if he has decided that the earth must ydeld!
him up a good turnip, there isn’t a chance but what
the said earth will do that very thing.
AND STILL ROADS
The Alaska Road Commission must have a separ
ate room in which to file applications and petitions for
new roads and we suppose they become weary saying, j
“Yes, we know that would be a good place for a road,
but we haven’t got the money. We’ll attend to it as j
quickly as possible.”
But that is what they are in Alaska for, to build]
roads, which they are doing, so we will content our-!
selves with these observations:
It looks like the Cache Creek country will develop
into one of Alaska’s important gold camps. A great!
deal of machinery is being purchased for the creeks
and much will go in this winter by sled. They are find
ing more pay on creeks and more equipment will be
needed.
Therefore it seems in order that the Road Com
mission scratch their heads and ponder how soon they
can complete the present splendid road into the district;
which seems destined to reach the top ranks of Alas- i
ka’s famous gold producers.

contact with whiles than they would in 10 years isolated on j
sonic Indian reservation.
‘1 respectfully petition you, The Cordova Chamber of J
Commerce to use all efforts to defeat this Indian reservation I
plan, because if continued and carried out, will be harmful
to Alaska and unjust, and will be of great injury to the
Alaskan Indians.” — (Cordova Times).
What’s the meaning of all this? Who started it
anyway and what did he or they have in mind? Is it
possible chat the government hit upon another meth
od of reserving things in Alaska, and will as Mr. Whit
ham asks, the land hold out and shall we not be forced
to buy some more acreage from Russia?
What effect will this have on prospecting the
rich Nabesna country? Do the Indians want to go
there, in the first place, and if the government tries to
herd them over there, will they stay there? Can not
the Indians do their so-called fur farming any place
they want to now?
Has it finally reached a stage where President
Hoover signs any little thing shoved under his nose
without looking because he is busy with such , big
things as unemployment and lining up votes for the
next campaign?
DORBANOT: COPE
HOP FOP ALASKA
FROM WENATCHEE
RELIEVE PRESENT ROUTE CAN

YEAR ROUND
WENATCHEE, Wash., Oct., 22,
(IP)—Pilot Frank Dorbandt and
his partner, Mechanician Alonzo

eborage. Alaska to map a new |

AT PRINCE GEORGE
PRINCE GEORGE, B. C., Oct.,

rived from Wenatchee. They av
eraged 130 miles an hour and
were forced to cover an extra
100 miles owing to low clouds.
They said that they believed
schedules good be maintained
the year-round through this sec
tion.
The partners, owners and op
eratohs of the International Air
ways of Alaska, expected to ar
rive at Anchorage Tuesday.
DIVING CONTINUES
Cold weather has stopped the
flow of mud and silt out of the
Taku River and thus increased
visibility about the wreck of the
Islander at the south end of
Douglas Island where attempts
aie being made to salvage treas
ure from the Klondike that
went down with the boat 29
years ago. Diving work will go
forward for another month or
six weeks, according to the Ju
neau Empire.
It has been demonstrated that
red salmon hatched in the Colum
bia River from eggs taken from
Alaska will return to Columbia Ri
ver. The Bureau of Fisheries is now
conducting experiments at Olive
Cieek near Wrangell to determine
if pink salmon will return to
the stream of their birth.
