TWO YEARS IS A LONG WAIT
The Alaska Railroad Brotherhood have a just com
plaint in their recent action to the Secretary of the In
terior providing the wage adjustment of two years ago
has not yet become effective. The unwinding of govern
ment red-tape generally takes much time but two years
seems to be without all reason.
Lillian Cannon says she will take another shot at the
Channel next year.
WE AGREE WITH ANCHORAGE
The abandonment of the Anchorage army post means
not only a big loss to that progressive city but to the en
tire railroad belt. What effects our neighbors effects us.
It is sincerely hoped that the efforts of the Anchorage
Chamber of Commerce will bring results, that the re
moval order will be countermanded and the post forces in
creased. It seems that every time an economic movement
is made at Washington, D. C., the officials must take a
crack at Alaska.
It is reported totem poles will shortly replace the
mile posts on the Seward-Kenai road.
It is understood the next sporting event in Alaska
will be swimming the Alaska Gulp. >
COAL OPERATIONS HANDICAPPED
Thomas A. Marquam, candidate for delegate to con
gress hit the nail on the head in his speech last Saturday
when he said coal storage facilities and loading equipment
coal operators create a market for their coal if shipping
for ships should be constructed in Seward. How can the
facilities are lacking? What would a store do these days
without a delivery system? It certainly would not ex
pand in this day and age.
A reader wants to know if the fjords of Alaska were
named after Henry.
EXPERT LAUDS SMALL PAPERS
One of the highest compliments recently paid the small
newspapers of the country comes from James O’Shaugh
nessy, executive secretary of the American association
of advertising agencies, who declared in a Boston address
that “country papers are the cornerstone of American
journalism.”
“The paper in a small town talks to its readers more
intimately and confidentially than any other medium,1”
Mr. O’Shaughnessy said.
Such a tribute from one of America's leading adver
tising authorities is gratifying to the thousands of coun
try publishers, many of whom are struggling under ad
verse conditions to faithfully serve their communities.
During the last fiscal year the U. S. has exported 29,
412,243 false teeth. Many a true word has been spoken
thru false teeth.
Seward has lots of room for those Anchorage army
men should they change their mind and stay in Alaska.
Far up in the Sierras, where the eagles roost, Frank
Pettibone has a mine running $800 to the ton of ore. In
accessible and worthless, yesterday. Pettibone will carrj
the ore out by airplane, tomorrow. The ’49ers and ’98ers
were slow.
A loud speaker with a ten-mile range has been in
vented. The inventor, at last reports, is still at large.

reaching those fresh vegetables, and
they succeeded. Thus a two day rest
was necessary before starting for
sheep. This time they went on the
other, or east side of Lake Clarke,
having only three miles to pack be
fore rowing up Brooks, or Koutrashl
buna lake. The scenery in this re
gion, the boys praise unsparingly.
They compare the narrow sixteen
mountains rising abruptly on each
mile glacial lake, and its rugged
side, with the beauties of Louise and
the Rockies.
Though they saw plenty of ewes
and lambs, the weather was too fine
to have brought the rams from their
lofty peaks, and none were even seen.
As a chartered boat was to meet
them on a certain date, the time was
limited and very little of the sheep
country could be covered.
After returning to Taualiau point,
Easton and Finlayson enjoyed a de
lightful two days of duck shooting
on the Chilitna river. They were ac
companied by old Joe Kackley, truly
one of nature’s noblemen. Mr. Fin
layson says that he has never been
on a trip with a finer companion.
The trip out from the Lake Clarke
was made in fast order. Three days
saw the party at Iliamna from which
place they packed over to Iliamna
bay. Here they ran into a snow
storm and a strong blow which pre
vented the gas boat from crossing
the Inlet. Here the hunters had their
last camp for five days. When the
boat finally arrived the party vras
treated to fourteen hours of Cook In
let rough sea.
Although from a stand point of
trophies the trip can hardly be called
successful, the two months in the
frontier country proved very interest
ing to Mr. Monroe and Mr. Finlay
son. They had experiences such as
are not included in the usual big game
hunt. They at times ate dried fish
with the natives, “siwashed” under
spruce trees in the driving rain, ford
ed rivers native fashion with the
waters up to their necks, and on one
