GOSSIP
Tradition has pinned upon the feminine sex the
charge that they have a patent right on gossip. Yet
when we come to analyze this time-worn custom we find
her male compatriot not only taking his share of the
spotlight, but in many instances hogging the entire
works. The distinction between the feminine teacup
gossip, which, for the most part boasts nothing more
serious than mass psyehoanalasis of their sex, and that
of her male counterpart is that the latter ofttimes does
serious injury not only to the person or persons to whom
it is directed, but to business as well.
Civilization has not wholly eradicated jealousy from
the human system, and this irritant is often the motivat
ing inspiration for the circulation of reports which com
pletely undermine, not only a man's character, but his
credit and eventually ruins his business.
This led to the enactment of legislation making it
a criminal offense for one to circulate false reports
about a banking institution which might occasion a run
upon it and possible failure. There is no statute against
one circulating a report that Bjones or Bjohnson is on
the verge of ruin, yet it embraces an action making it
equally venal as applied to a bank.
Naturally the gossip wishes to be the first to circu
late a bit of news, and his listener, if from no other mo
tive than curiosity, is willing to lend an attentive ear.
If the story appears plausible, he may be tempted to
pass it along. It gets to the subject's creditors, and like
drops of water upon a rock, finally begins to make an
impression. In well-ordered finance the creditor goes
direct to the subject of the gossip for his facts. But
the man in the street, having interest only in the “news,"
does not bother to confirm or discredit the story.
It is the old story of giving a dog a bad name. If
f stories calculated to injure a man’s
community realized the
circulator
ness and ;
'ic consequ
r.c injury to the community in undermining the con
nee in its citizens, possibly he would receive the first

Until man exercises a little housecleaning in his own
brain, he forfeits the right to rdicule the gentler sex
for exchanging such spicy tit-bits as “Mrs. Blivits was
compelled to make over her last year's party dress be
cause old Blivits was such a tightwad he would not stand
for a new one," or “Mrs. Zinke McLuke spoiled the front
of a dress trying to shovel green peas into her mouth
with a knife."

FORMED LOCAL CHEF
»S ON HD LINE
William P. Nekeferoff, known all
along the coast as “Bill, the Cook,”
who was the chef at the Seward
Orill for two and a half years, is
about to indulge in his culinary
triumphs among the big bears of
Kodiak. Bill is not going to cook
for the bears but he is going to
do his cooking where the; bears
are. He will handle the pots and
pans for the first game hunt of
the season when Captain Charles
Madsen, of the Kodiak Guides,
takes out Mr. and Mrs. Claude H.
Barr of Illinois, who are scheduled
to arrive there about May 10. This
is the party that is coming to
gather a whole family of bear
specimens for the Illinois State
Museum.
Bill has scattered his flapjacks
all along the Alaska Railroad and
for 14 months was the boss pot:
wrangler at La touche for the Ken
necott. He is well remembered in
Seward where he served the town’s
leading cafe with ^fine ieatments
for so long.
THE ILLIAMNA ROAD
It appears as though there will
be more road building activities |
over Illiamna way—between the!
•bay and the village—than hereto- ;
for, according to reports reaching \
Seward. The Alaska Road Com- j
mission, which has been carryingj
forward road construction there
for the last two years, will proba
bly have a much larger crew than
usual and. in addition, will take
over an air-drill for rock work,
at the beginning of the season.
The rock work, it is said, will un
doubtedly be completed this year.
Owing to the illness yesterday
of Mayor P. C. McMullen, the j
held-over council meeting sched- j
uled for last evening was post
poned until another day.
At yesterday’s business meet- j
ing end luncheon of the Seward1
Chamber of Commerce, Jack Me |
Cord, Westward cattleman and |
fur raiser, addressed the gath- j
ering describing conditions and
progress in that area.

DR. ROBERTS RETURNS
Dr. A. R. Roberts, local dentist
and member of the City Coun
cil who went west some weeks
ago to look over and treat the
molars of the many residents out
thataway, returned Monday to
his local offices. They must have
treated “Doc” pretty good out
there as he seems to have taken
on about 35 pounds. Dr. Roberts
returned just in time to heave
his brown derby into the local
political ring; the municipal elec
tion on April l at which he will
be a councilman candidate.
