FR0HIBIT1 BLOW
TO TEMPERANCE
OEMS BiSlOP
(Safi Francisco Examiner)
Prohibition has set back the
eause of temperence $n Alaska 20
years. Thus the Right Rev. Peter
Trimble Rowe, Bishop of the Epis
copalian Diocese of Alaska, scath
ingly summarized an attack upon
the 18th amendment and the chao
tic conditions it has wrought.
The Northland’s famous “flying
bishop”, 73-year-old, arrived in San
Francisco on a national tour, ac
companied by one of five Indian
ministers, a native of the Alaskan
Metlakhafcla tribe.
With indignation the venerable
prelate told of ttfe harmful influ
ence that the prohibition laws have
had upon the whites, the Indians
and the Eskimos.
'The people of the North have
always drunk alcohol,” the bishop
said. “Drinking I do not regard as
a great sin. Drunkenness is ab
horrent. Prohibition has changed
the people from a drinking race,
wooed to the virtues of temperance,
into an inebriate class.
“At the dances and other social
gatherings, now we find the young
people—and the old, too for that
matter—drunk, actually drunk.
There never was any such condi
tion before we came under the be
nign influence of the Volstead Act.
“We had educated the people to
accept temperance. And then, with
in a year after prohibition came to
Alaska, they had forgotten what
we taught them, and had fallen
into drunken ways. The prohibi
tion law, its advocates claim, was
fashioned to protest the weak from
their own weakness. If that be
s*), it has defeated its own purpose.”

THE BUTTE DISTRICT
This big Montana mining camp
was first a placer camp, gold having
I been discovered In 1864 near the
southerly end of wlfcit is now Main
street. The Butte placer gold was
heavily alloyed with silver and on'y
I commanded $13 an ounce. Placer
; mining was prosecuted but in 1870
| Butte was practically deserted.
Then rich lodes were found.

William Marks, an Indian, was
seriously injured while falling from
la tree near Sitka. His head was
badly crushed and there is little
I hope of his recovery. His is in the
hospital at Sitka.
SCHOOL THING
FILLED WITH REAL
(Seattle Post-Intelligencer;
School teaching in the city may
have its thrills, but in Alaska it
appears to be adventure spelled
with capital letters.
Take for example, the case of Mr.
and Mrs. Everett Neeley, former
pedagogues, Olympia. Three years
ago they left for Unalakleet, on
Norton Sound, to teach EsKimo
children the three R’s. All they ]
feared was the “Northern dullness”. ;
But their lives have abounded in
thrills.
Only recently the Neeleys were <
practically the first to welcome 1
back to civilization T. M. iPat) (
Reid, flight commander of the Eiel- |
son-Bortanct rescue exp ‘J.i'.C’:, and ;
his mechanics, William Hughes and
James Hutchinson. The event at
tracted world-wide attention, Reid ]
and his associates, after being
missing a week in the frozen North
land, being given up as lost. i
And a year before Neeiey and a 3
companion nearly died from star- i
vation on a trip down the Yukon
Iver. In a deserted cabin they
’ound provisions that saved their
ives.
And when the Neeleys gave up
;ity life for the “quiet” of the North
ihey had with them their 10-year -
)ld girl, Ellen. The little girl ac
lompanied them on the 750-mlle
lirplane journey from Fairbanks to
Jnalakleet.
Alaska a dull country? Ask the
Neeleys!

AVOED THAT %
FUTURE SHADOW*
By refraining from over
induSgence, if you would
maintain the modern figure
of fashion
Atoid the snags along the
common-sense path to fitness and
fashion. Don’t let over-indulgence
deprive you of the tantalizing con
tour of the modern figure. Be
moderate—be moderate in all
things, even in smoking. Eat
healthfully but not immoderately
—when your eyes are bigger than
your stomach, reach for a Lucky
instead. Coming events cast their
shadows before. Avoid that future
shadow' by avoiding over-indul
gence, if you would maintain the
graceful, modern figure with its
captivating curves.
Lucky Strike, the finest Cigarette
you ever smoked, made of the
finest tobacco—The Cream of the

one knows that heat purifies and
so “TOASTING” not only re
moves impurities but adds to the
flavor and improves the taste.
