A LITTLE CONTRAST
When Nome sent out a call for assistance in the
diptheria epidemic the dog mushers of Alaska did not
wait for a Congressional investigation and the unravel
ing of a ball of red tape, but plunged into the blizzards
and 60 below temperatures, fought their way from Ne
nana to Nome ana saved the babies. Through that spon
taneous action they won the love and admiration of the
civilized world.
If it were possible to go to the aid of Col. Ben Eiel
son and his mechanician, Borland, possibly marooned
on an ice flow in the Arctic, these same dog mushers
or others, would not have wasted time with hypothetical
questions, but would have been on their way at the first
call of danger.
That's the soul of Alaska!
The magazine, Time, refers to Colonel Eielson as
“the greatest Arctic aviator,'" and Sir George Wilkins
accords him the same honor. Colonel Eielson may be;
drifting about the Arctic ocean on an ice floe. He mayj
go the way of another Alaska ace, that splendid young
man, Russell Merrill.
Colonel Eielson, and his courageous pilots are seek- j
ing to bridge the Arctic and thus divert a large volume
of fur trade to the United States and bring civilization
closer to the wilderness.
The Soviet government, whom Washington repri-j
manded the^ other day for its attitude in the Chinese
Eastern Railroad matter, are scouring the North Cape
area in an effort to effect a rescue of the airmen. From
the south three planes are being sent to Teller to assist
in the rescue. In the meantime his comrades at Teller
are attempting daily to combat the elements in an inde
pendent effort to hunt for their flying pal.
Alaskans pin their hopes on the Alaska pilots; that
they will eventually find Eielson and Borland. The Rus
sians may be successful but indications todate are cer
tainly far from encouraging.
Why manufacture snow when one can get all they
want for nothing in (no, not Alaska) the East.

popular orchestra consisted of Mr.

comments were heard on the excel
