SEWARD LOSES A VALUABLE
CITIZEN
Aliss Stella Fuller, Delano Red
Cross nurse, who has been in Sew
ard and vicinity the past two years,
is leaving tonight Tor the states on
the steamship Northwestern. No
nurse has ever visited the North
land who has so endeared themselves
to the people of the Northland and
this town in particular as has Miss
Fuller. That she has saved scores of
of suffering is well known here where
lives and alleviated hundreds of cases
her work speaks for itself. Month
after month she has visited the
Westward, traveling in fishing boats
and sleeping in wayside cabins to
reach some patient demanding her
services. Her unselfish devotion to
her duty and her unswerving loyalty
to the principles of the Red Cross
has caused the thinking citizen to
realize the noble work being done
by the organization.
Personally, Miss Fuller has super
vised scores of operations and exam
ined several hundred children while
on her trips to the Westward, and
no case of illness or suffering has
met with a refusal of her aid.
Seward is sorry to see Miss Ful
ler go, but her work is done, so far
as her part in it is concerned, and
if it is to be kept up the trail she has
blazed must be kept open by other
nurses sent here. In leaving she
takes the heartfelt thanks and the
good wishes of the entire community
with her, and we feel that she can
never be replaced.
EXPOSING A FAKE
The protest made by the Ketchikan
Commercial Club over the exhibition
of motion pictures claimed to have
been filmed in Alaska, but which
have in reality been faked outside, is
timely and should be heeded by Con
gress and the board of censors. There
is no more reason to allow a faked
picture shown than there is to al
low an immoral or improper picture,
as both have a tendency to impress
wrong ideas upon the spectator. One

The Man with the "1
! of the recent fakes exposed is that
j of Curwood’s “Alaskan,” the scenes
! of which were filmed in the States,
and " the fishing scenes at Belling
ham, Washington. These pictures are
advertised as taken in Alaska. The
local chamber should endorse the ac
tion of the Ketchikan club and de
mand that pictures taken for Alaskan
plays be filmed in Alaska.
THE HEALTH CARRIERS
The Metropolitan Life Insurance
company, which has been running a
series of educational ads in national
magazines, has oue of its best in a
recent number of “Everybody’s”, en
titled “The Health Carriers,” in part
as follows:
Our young folks laugh when we tell
them that Old Mother Hubbard went
to the cupboard and found it bare,
i bur to folks of many lands the bare
j cupboard is*u nightmare bringing up
i instantly the spectre of famine. In
: dia with three times our population,
! was had nineteen famines in the last
150 years and China during the years
from 1876 to 1879 lost 11,000,000 from
famine. In both countries there was
plenty of food but no transportation.
The United States is immune to
famine on account of its 375,000
miles of efficient railways. As long
as their growth is encouraged and
they are allowed to function freely,
food scarcities will be relieved before
they become acute. The recent rail
road strike in the east showed the
seriousness of tying up transportation
as cities like New York were short
of flour, fresh meat and milk, so ne
cessary to health. The crisis passed
and the inhabitants were permitted
to enjoy well-balanced food rations
once more.

For every passenger coach going a
railroad line in the states forty
freight cars are run, and there are
2,500,000 of them. Refrigerator cars,
a strictly American innovation, .allow
meats and fruits to be delivered to
all parts of the land at a minimum
of expense. So whether you travel
or stay at home the railroads are
the arteries of the nation’s commerce
and are serving you hourly in a man
ner little appreciated and little thot
of.
Once more the Geographical board
has rejected the substitution of the
name Tacoma for Mt. Ranier. For
many years the citizens of Tacoma
have endeavored to have the name
changed, and the fight has waxed
furious. While a mountain by any
other name than Tacoma will proba
bly not lose in stature, the name
Rainier is more familiar to the gen
eral public, and by leaving it as it is
a mix-up will be saved those of us
who went to school before this mania
for changing names was started.
The local basketball team alleges
that in answer to a challenge sent
the Anchorage team, a demand was
made that $250 be raised to pay the
expenses of the players making the
trip to Seward. While it will proba
bly cost that much to bring the twro
teams of six persons each to the city
the question before the public is can
we raise themoney?
