THE INDOMITABLE SPIRIT
Although the snows are deep down there in the
hills we can almost hear the grinding of the mill and
the shots deep in the mountainside above Nuka Bay
as men toil and moil for the precious metal called gold
much of which has already come out of the new camp,
It is a welcome sound to us even though too far to be
heard because it tells of enterprise against great cliff i
culties and foretells the day when Seward will be able
to add another big asset to the area of its producing
territory.
Where gold is there men will go whatever the dif
ficulties to be encountered whether Arctic blasts 01
parching deserts. It is never an easy conquest and Nuks
Bay camp with its precipitous mountains and appalling
snows is no exception. But men are conquering there ir
spite of every barrier Nature can interpose and the re
wards in prospect are enormous.
It is therefore without hesitation and with strom
conviction that we again urge the paramount necessity o:
affording the miners down there some relief in the wai
of the short stretch of road to the Babcock Downey
camp. We are confident a survey of their needs, whicl
is not great, will show road officials that these men
who have stuck with their prospect for going on fiv<
years, are deserving of this assistance.
JUDGING OTHERS
It is trite to say that in judging the character anc
motives of another person we should try to imagine our
selves in his place, now many of us make a conscious
and determined effort to be lair in our estimate of the
other fellow?
When the other fellow acts that way, he is ugly
when you do it, it is nerves. !
Yvhen the other fellow is set in his way, lie’s obsti
nate; when you are, it's firmness.
When the other fellow treats someone especially
well, he is toadying; when you do it, it’s tact.
When the other fellow takes his time, he is deac
slow; when you do, you are deliberate.
When the other fellow picks a flaw, he’s cranky
when you do, you are discriminating.
When the other fellow says what he thinks, he’f
spiteful; when you do, you are frank, and so on.
It is really hard to apply to ourselves the same yard
stick which we use in measuring our neighbor. But w<
ought to try to do it.
As an illustration of the lack of knowledge alonf
the Atlantic Coast, and some portions of the Pacific
a man has just been given a leather medal for discover
ing Alaska.
It may be true that a rolling stone gathers no moss
but a roving husband can gather some wives, as Davie
La Favor, recently convicted in Los Angeles, demon
strated. At the age of 63 he had a collection of nine liv
ing wives, all of whom appeared in court at his trial.
«'A newspaper man who started business 39 years
ago, with only $1 is now worth $100,000. His accumula
tion of wealth is owing to his frugality, good habits
strict attention to business, and the fact than an unck
died and left him a fortune of $99,999.
If folks were compelled to practice what they preacl
there would be noticeably less preaching, t
The difference between running a political campmgr
and a modern laundry is that the linen comes out a whole
lot cleaner.
