ENGLAND WANTS U. S. TO
TRAIN HER MILLIONAIRES
(By JOHN GUNTHER.)
LONDON, March 18.—The land of
"moral blizzards” and "trained mil
lionaires!”
That's the newest characterization
of the United States. It comes from
the Rt. Hon. H. A. L. Fisher former
minister of Britain’s scholars.
Fisher has recently returned from
a tour of American universities. The
English Speaking Union here gave
him a lunch. Fisher spoke. And
he said a mouthful.
“I am interested particularly in
the educational institutions of Ame
rica and Canada.” he said. "In many
cases they excited in my mind the
most unholy feeling of envy.
"There seems not a college in
America or England which does tjot
appear to have a well trained re
tinue of obedient millionaires.
"At one trustee’s meeting I heard
one such gentleman quitly murmur,

“Well, I think we had better begin
with ten millions.”
“Think of the Harkness College
| at Vale, the new buildings at To
j ronto, the magnificent campus of
| the University of Wisconsin, the
! great new buildings at the Univer
sity of Chicago!
• Really, we aught to send our
rich men to America to learn how
to endow colleges.”
As to the “moral blizzards,” that
picturque phrase of Fisher’s sent
his audience with cheers and laugh
ter.
“America is the land of bold and
sanguine experiment,” he declared.
“It is often described as the land
of the Dollar. It is not always
that.
“Sometimes it is swept by a
moral blizzard, and before that
blizzard all politicians go down
like ninepins. One such blizzard is
proliobition.
"It is too soon for us to pass a
final judgment on that audacious
enterprise in social legislation,
| which has been followed by some
palpable and serious evils, more
! particularly a wide defiance of the
I law.”
; CATS DO PHENOMENAL
WORK FOR THE A. R. C.
A wonderful piece of work was brot
to a close here on Friday, February
27, when the three caterpillars trans
porting freight from McCarthy to the
Xizina Bridge hauled their last load.
From February 12 to 27 inclusive, the
three machines handled four hundred
tons of freight hauling over a distance
of nearly fifteen miles for the great
er part of the time having taken the
river route rather than the road.
It has been stated that this freight
could not be handled -under sixty days
i but the “Cat” drivers set out to show
the fallacy of this and they are to be
praised for the efficient manner in
which they handled their machines
and kept their loads moving. The
round trip was made every day.

Dillingham Merchant Makes Long Trip
To Catcher. Starr; 400 Miles Dog Team
_ it
J. C. Lowe, the well known fur
buyer and merchant of Dillingham,
accompanied by his wife, arrived in
Seward on the steamer Starr and are
stopping at the Hotel Seward, await
ing the arrival of the steamship
Northwestern, on which they will go
outside, visiting in Sioux City, la.,
Portland, San Francisco, and other
cities. Mr. and Mrs. Lowe will re
turn to Bristol Bay on one of the
cannery boats in the Spring.
To reach the coast, Mr. and Mrs.
Lowe traveled a distance of over
400 miles by dog team, the weather
being extremely cold at the time.
They bought considerable furs en
route, taking the steamer Starr at
Kanatak. Mrs. Lowe, who was a
former teacher in the Sioux City, la.,
schools, declares that she enjoyed
the trip immensely despite its hard
ships. The past five years she has
been assisting her husband in the
mercantile and fur business in the
Bristol Bay district. During this pe
riod, Mrs. Lowe has supervised the
packing of a quarter of a million
dollars worth of furs. She stated
she liked the hospitable people of
Bristol Bay, and finds conditions
more pleasant than when she clerk
ed in her father’s store in Sioux
City. While Mr. Lowe is looking af
ter his rrew stocks outside, Mrs.
Lowe will visit her folks in the Iowa
metropolis.
Mr. Lowe stated that fur condi
tions were good in the vicinity of
Nushagak river this year, although
a light fall of snow prevented trap
pers from doing as well as they
would had conditions been normal.
He stated that he looked for a good
year in the fishing business, and
that business would be good in and'
around his section.
The school at Dillingham is mak
ing good headway under the new
staff, and many children are at the
orphanage. At Naknek, Deputy Mar
shal Flickenssein was bringing in a
numbeh of Eskimos from down the
coast, one of the number being
charged with murder. Mr. Lowe
stated that considerable friction ex
isted in his district over alleged
high-handed actions of Deputy Mar
shal Reed, and that residents had
signed a petition addressed to Mar
shal Sullivan asking that he remedy
matters . He refused to discuss the
matter further than to say that the
marshal’s office was the center of
dissatisfaction existing.
Mr. Lowe has been in this district
the past 16 years and has seen many
changes in the country. His com
pany has stores at Ekwak, Togiak,
Egeshik, Kalukak and at Snag Point,
he being in charge of the latter
store.
He stated that the reindeer herds
were multiplying rapidly in the Nu
shagak and Wood River sections, and
declared that the board of education
built better than they knew when
they furnished reindeer to the Es
kimos. Meat is plentiful and cheap,
and at some future date a cold stor
age may be operated from this sec
tion.
CHAMBER RENTS OFFICES

ists.
M. P. GALVIN RAPIDLY
IMPROVING IN HEALTH
President John Flowers of the lo
cal Igloo of Pioneers received a let
ter on the last boat from M. P. Gal
vin, an oldtimer who was sent out
side for treatment, stating that he
was recovering his health at the Vir
ginia Mason hospital in Seattle.
Mr. Galvin stated that the first
week spent in the hosiptal was tak
en up in diagnosing his case, after
which the surgeons removed his
tonsils, his health benefiting immedi
ately. He believes that he wi'd be
back to normal health in a month
or so.
Mr. Galvin praises the crew 'of the
Alameda for their help on the trip j
down, stating that the stewardess ac- j
companied him to the hospital and
that every attention was given him.

Valuable Curio Owned
By George Sexton
George Sexfon has a valuable curio
of the olden days in the shape of a
nine-inch shell, used in the mortars of
the United States Navy years ago,
following the close of the Civil War.
This shell was picked up by a native
near Unalaska, and later sold to Mr.
Sexton. It bears the following in
scription stamped on the brass plug, |
“U. S. Navy, Arsenal I), 1864.”
A peculiar incident in connection
with the shell is that several years
after it was found an apprentice sea
man who was on the vessel which
fired it, told of his vessel capturing
a Japanese poacher, at which the
shell was fired in 1874. The crew of
the poacher were taken to San Fran
cisco and their vessel confiscated. The
plug was removed and the combusti
bles taken out shortly after the shell
was found at Unalaska.
