ENCOURAGING MOVE
Announcement that President
Hoover will hold over until Fall,
Alaska appointments of those of
ficials—two Judges and four Mar
shals—sounds rather encouraging
to friends of the incumbents
whose terms have expired. Local
ly, supporters of Marshal Sullivan
are leaving no step unturned, due
to the opposition, with the view
of endorsing his reappointment.
This Division will welcome the
arrival this summer, from Wash
ington, of an Assistant Federal
► Attorney who, it is reported, is
coming North in connection with
these reappointments. The rep
resentative from the Attorney
General’s office will discover Mar
shal Sullivan holds the esteem of
at least 90 per cent of the citizens
of this Division.
Which should be sufficient.
252 YEARS OLD
As the Seattle Times says “We
see by the papers” where a Chin
ese gentleman, one Li Chung
Yun, has, according to records,
reached the ripe old age
of 252 years. The gentleman has
recently completed a two months
series of lectures before a univer
sity; he possesses a verile mind
and is in excellent health. The
sv-bject of his lectures—on longe
vity—no doubt revealed he attri
butes the secret of longevity to
free use of tobacco and moderate
indulgence of good liquor.
NEW NENANA WORK
Assembling the new Alaska
Railroad river steamer at Nenana
should afford much additional
v,ork for those living along the
railroad belt. Having this work
done in Alaska instead of at Seat
tle is but another example of the
forethought of the railroad man
agement in utilizing Alaska’s re
sources first and keeping as much
money at home as is possible. Tire
boat might have been towed up;
:: has been done before.
My Heavins! A beauty maga
zine from London—a very digni

make up. Uh huh! Use cosmetics!

FOUR GREAT DISGRACES
Dr. Clarence True Wilson, sec
retary of the Methodist board of
Temperance, the same man who a
:ew years ago endeavored tc
:<rag Alaska's fair name through
mud, said the other day in seek
ing an alibi for Morrow’s great
victory in New Jersey, that less
Than one-quarter of the people
voted. He probably counted em
Then he added, the two greatest
disgraces in recent history of the
United States were the Bellinghan
G. O. P. wet plank and the indict
ment at Seattle of his two pets
Lyle and Whitney, dry officials.
We can also think of two great
national disgraces; the first it
the present Cry lawr and the sec
♦ end is, permitting Mr. Wilsor
to run about without a muzzle.

A politician’s head, no doubt
would have resembled a huge ga:
