Columbus received $350 for discov
ering America, and many of us won
der if it would not have been better
for us if we had remained undiscov
ered.
A botanist has discovered 350 sepa
rate odors in flowers. There are more
than that in one Alaska skunk cab
bage.
The building oi the new fish hatch
ery at Grouse Lake is due almost
solely to the efforts of two local men,
H. E. Ellsworth, a member of the
territorial board of fisheries, and Sen
ator E. E. Chamberlin, who started
the ball rolling last winter at Juneau.
This permanent gift of $17,500 to
Seward will add considerably to the
local payroll, and will also greatly in
crease the catch of salmon in Resur
rection bay, starting four years from
next summer. Mr. Ellsworth is using
local material and local labor in the
construction of the big building, and
it will be an interesting place to visit
when the fish are spawning.
It is now improper to refer to the
Alaskan Engineering Commission, as
Secretary Work of the Lnterior De
partment has ordered that all refer
ence to the government project be
under the term of Alaska Railroad.
While the benefits to Alaska under
any name would probably be as great,
the designation, “Alaska Railroad,” is
more distinctive and a far greater as
set to the Territory.
If you do not believe it pays to ad
vertise place some wanted article for
sale through the classified columns,
with a blind address. The editor oi
the Gateway answered a furniture
sale advertisement 27 times Saturday
night, and walked out an'd left the
phone ringing.
A Frenchman has invented an air
plane that weighs only 49 pounds,
and which with a three horsepower
moter will reach an altitude oi 7000
feet. Lilting a 250 pound man in a
49 pound airplane is something like
lifting oneself by the bootstraps.
A few nights ago two heavyweight
pugilists slammed each other around
for four minutes and received some
thing like $200,000 each for it. An edi
tor would work six months for that
amount, and by cutting prices a lit
tle might work a year. And in that
time he would guarantee more blood
shed than was seen at the recent
slamming match.
MARIE PREVOST REACHES
STARDOM
Acocrding to all reports Marie Pre
vost reaches full-fledged stardom in
her performance in “The Wanters,” in
which she makes her entrance as a
maid and her exit as a renowned so
ciety beauty.
This is the time of year when the
Alaskan, in lieu of enjoying a hog
killing time, butchers a fat moose or
two, or lays in a half dozen caribou
for his winter’s provender.
This is the season of the year when
the chechaco’s blood is thrilled by
bear stories, and there seems to be a
prolific crop annually. It is true that
our bears get frisky these frosty
mornings and try to become familiar

with travelers, but it is only on ac
count of the playfulness of the animal
and not because they would really
harm one. At least we have Dr.
Hornoday’s wrord for it that they are
harmless, and if some prospector will
only verify the statement by allowing
himself to be caught and fondled by
one of the brutes, we may believe it
in time.
Juneau papers are boasting of one
stalk of rhubarb from which 100 pies
while Matanuska residents are adver
tising a potato hollowed out for a
family bathtub. Fairbanks papers
record one gallon of white mule with
kick enough to give the whole com
munity a good time. If advertising is
efficacious which community do you
believe will have the most settlers by
this time next year. Who wants to
bathe, anyhow?
Many young Alaskans are leaving
on every boat for the States, to at
tend college the coming winter. Many
of them come from Fairbanks, where
they have as good a college as can
probably be found outside. Why not
keep the money at home and give the
youngsters an Alaskan education?
While yet in its infancy, fox farm
ing is yielding more returns on the
investment than anything we know
of. It has a gold mine beaten four
ways, as it requires no expensive ma
chinery and long hauls to market the
output.
LISTEN?
Everybody is doing it now. What?
The Turkey trot to Dryden’s Grocery.
Why? Because the prices are right;
the more sales the lower the prices.

boat. Service day or night.
