POINT BARROW SUMMER SCENES
Ice and snow scenes of Alaska continue to be played
up in the States. The most frequent of those now being
published are photographs of and around Point harrow,
where the Wilkins exploration party will hop off in mon
oplanes on a voyage of discovery. Every picture of Point
Barrow which has been published in the big dailies re
veal a gigantic mass of ice and snow, very dihmal and
foreboding scenes.
The bad must be taken with the good, and it is sup
posed a great deal of the glamour of the coming Polar
flight would be lost if spring and summer photographs
of Point Barrow were published. Millions of Americans
would no doubt be astonished -to view green meadows and
foliage, and placid waters, so far inside the Arctic Cir
cle. Scenes, no different than found in their own com
munities thruout the States. It is our thought summer
pictures from any portion of the Territory would create
more favorable publicity than the “time-worn, over-done”
pictures from the reputed land of ice and snow.
“Amundsen suffering from slight cold,” doesn’t seem
possible.
Bandits got away with jewels valued at $50,000 in
New York recently. Police think robbery was the motive.
HE HAS JUST ARRIVED
The statecraft of Mississippi is thoro. It prohibits
the teaching that man either descended or ascended from
the ape. The intent, evidently, is to rescue both man and
ape from the grasp of obliquy, or something equally as
distressing. . Of course, it sort of leaves man’s derivation
up in the air; but, indeed, there is some indication, in
Mississippi, that man “just growed,” like Topsy, with no
body paying any particular attention to the making of
him.
Today’s dispatches from the Spirit City” come high
ly spirited, literally, when one claims to have seen “white
deer” in a tropical valley contiguous to the Cassiar. One
who has seen the backwoods all his life would venture a
contradiction, in that “white mule” abounds those re
gions also.
ALASKAN DAIRY
ANIMALS STAND
UP UNDER TEST
SMALL PERCENTAGE OF STOCK
DISEASED, SAYS REPORT TO
THE GOVERNOR
Out of 666 head of dairy cattle in
spected in Alaska last year by Dr. Ro
bert Jay, Federal veterinary expert,
only 35 reactors were found, and eight
others were discovered which were
marked as “suspicious.” The diseased
animals were all condemned and kill
ed under the direction of the inspec
tor.
Dr. Jay’s final report has just been
received at the Governor’s office. It
is said to be one of the most complete
ever turned in by an inspecting offi
cer in connection with the Alaska
work. Virtually all of the animals
found to be diseased were brought into
the Territory since the inspection of
1924, animals having been inspected
before being found uninfected.
More than one-third of all the dairy
cattle in the Territory, so far as the
inspector’s report shows, are on Gas
tineau Channel and vicinity. Douglas
Island dairies have 20, while tributary
to Juneau and in the town itself are
208. The largest herd in the Territory
is owned by Smith & Altmiller, of the
Junea Dairy, numbering at the time
of the inspection 66 animals.
The Ketchikan herd is next in point
of number, comprising 87 animals, Ko
diak has 82, half of which are owned
by the Government Experiment Farm.
Seward has 12 animals. Anchorage
had 72 and Fairbanks 53 animals at the
time of the inspection.
To prevent contamination of the Al
aska herds by diseased animals be
ing shipped in from the States, Dr.
Jay has suggested a modification in the
present law governing importation of
livestock. He w^ould require all ani
mals to be inspected by a State or
Federal ilvestock inspector instead of
merely by any licensed inspector re
