TAKE SOUTH A MESSAGE
- — y
With the approach of winter the fascination of Alas
ka begins to fade for many and thoughts turn to the
Southlands. Perhaps many feel they need a change, that
they are getting ‘stale’; that perhaps a temporary change
of environment will do them good. In some, a persistent
nostalgia for the sights and lights of their Broadway, the
sight of crowds, the crowds of a big city.
Like geese honking South so will go scores of Alas
kans. And in the spring they return firm in their con
victions that it will be many years before they again
leave home. A summer is done; winter is coming; the
sun is slipping behind the clouds and another year has
gone.
Let those who go South not only describe the beauties
of Alaska’s summers but also the winters. Winter travel
to Alaska from the States should be encouraged as well
as the summer tourist trade.
They come to see Alaska in the summertime and
view but one phase. There is even a greater variety dur
ing the winter. Deliver that message!
To cancel the war debts would mean a big loss, but
think what we’d save on conferences in 62 years.
FAIR ENOUGH REASON
Sutherland is overlooking a bet. Nowadays the pop
ular political fad in the States is to have investigation
made of campaign expenditures. With all this talk of
Marquam being slipped thousands of dollars from the so
called ‘big interests’ and the newspapers have been
presumably bought over by a slush fund, why has he
overlooked this? Answer—Because he knows it’s the
bunk!
One doesn’t mind letting a car pass unless it turns
out to be smaller than the horn indicated.
AN EXPERIENCE
Among the other things that the United States got
out of the world war was the allies.

MINE SHORT COURSE
AT ALASKA COLLEGE
BEGINNING NOV. i
LAST YEAR'S STUDENTS, MANY
OF WHOM WERE WELL KNOWN
ALASKAN MINING MEN, TOOK
THE COURSE IN PREFERENCE
TO SPENDING WINTER IN THE
STATES
The mining short course opens at
the Alaska college November first.
Practical work is offered in geology,
mineralogy, fire assaying, mining
methods and ore dressing. These are
rudimentary courses resigned to aid
the practical man in the solution of
his problems. Last year one of the
features of the geology course was
card games played with rocks and
minerals substituted for cards. In
jthis way the prospector becomes
familiar with the common rocks and
valuable ore minerals and has much
fun in doing it. He is also taught to
use the blowpipe for determining un
known minerals. Prospectors have a
natural "eye” for rocks and minerals
and in a few weeks they a*e able
to recognize most of the formations
of ores wrhich they may see in the
hills. It makes them better prospec
tors and increases their chances of
recognizing deposits of unusual min
erals which might be passed up by
the untrained prospector.
There are many valuable mineral
deposits undiscovered in the hills of
Alaska. There is no substitute for
the prospector’s pick but other things
being equal the trained prospector
has the advantage.
Last year many of the short course
men lived at the college dormitory
and found life as interesting and en
joyable as'4 a trip to the "States” not
to mentfQii, ihuch more profitable.
