A LIVE-WIRE COMING NORTH
We congratulate Ernest Walker Sawyer, executive
assistant to Secretary Wilbur, of the Department of the
Interior, upon his appointment yesterday to the oiliCe
of special representative to General Manager Otto 1.
Ohlson, of the Alaska Railroad, in which position he will
have charge of the industrial development along the
Railroad Belt. _
Blit judging from his fine work in the East since
his visit to Alaska last summer, we trust his effectiveness
in Alaska’s behalf will not be lost by taking up a per
manent residence among us, as much as we would like it.
In any case he should teach us old moss-backs some of
the more modern methods of stepping development
along. He will have our hearty cooperation.
A. A. Shonbeck, Anchorage business man, is adver
tising Matanuska oat hay for sale at $55 a ton. That’s
the only way Alaska will ever be developed; from within.
When Alaska produces her own products, sells them in
Alaska, from candy to hay, from that period on nothing
can hold the Territory back. Alaska’s permanent slogan
should be: “Buy Alaska Products,”
POLITICAL COMMITTEE APPOINTED
At the recent Haines convention of the Alaska Na
tive Brotherhood a political committee, composed of
six grand presidents, was appointed. Its purpose, in dip
lomatic phraseology, is to peruse the credentials and re
cords of the several candidates for office in both politi
cal parties, and advise the members of their organiza
tion for whom to vote. Attorney Paul, one of the mem
bers, denies that it was within the province of the com
mittee to order the membership to vote for any one tick
et or candidate, asserting it was merely an advisory
body.
We’ll take his word for it.
A dispatch yesterday stated that 12 pack burros
were killed in one day near Rock Springs, Wyoming by
hunters who mistook them for antelope. Wonder what
brand of “Third Rail” is manufactured down thataway?
Colorado may have “red snow” with a watermellon
scent but up on the Lost Lake trail, near Seward, we
have “red snow-” from which the aroma of violets and
skunk cabbage scent perfumes the ozone.
Not having trouble enough already, Comrade Trot
sky has tackleinsky the Turkish languageisky.
“Our Sacks Appeal,” to the housewife who has toe
many parcels to carry home. Free with all purchases,
Dinklespeel & Son.
From an exchange: “Henry Walker bit himseli
badly the other day when he sat on his false teeth.” .
Now if some one will please step forward and tel
-all of us common guys, in plain language, what the H
this tariff bill stuff is about, we will die contented.
“Alaskans up in the air!” Meaning: Alaskans an
airminded.
Senator Smoot and Simmons had a hot tilt over th<
tariff on beans. And it looks as though someone had spill
ed them.

MINE TRAPPED
HI! LUXE LISE
Two mighty big game hunters
in the persons of Frank Cooper
and Aaron Wicklund, popular lo
cal men and carpenters, returned
yesterday from the wilds of the
Russian Lake country loaded
down with the carcass of a giant
moose; plenty of meat for the
winter.
Of particular interest to their
many friends was the beautiful
variety of sage brush which dec
orated their physogs. Children, at
first .thought Santa had arrived.
After Miller scraped some of it
away, it was then seen that it
was Cooper and Wicklund.
Gerhard Johnsen and Gus
Peterson, also members of the
s'1 me party of noted big game
hunters, remained at the camp,
Peterson expecting to return to
dav but Gerhard will stay there
with Cooper over the holidays.
The latter planned returning to- 1
day to the camp.
Contrary to the general belief |
that this winter is to be a poor
; one for lynx, reports from this J
1 area does not bear out the fore- I
cast. One trapper in the Russian !
t ake region already has trapped j
four lvnx, it is stated, as well as one j
wolverine.
The weather down that way l
has been clear and cold; therej
j is 16 inches of snow, crusted, and
lover the lake is ice to a thick
I ness of at least six inches.
RECORD CONSIGNMENT
DP
E
The largest single consignment!
of foxes ever sent out of the west j
passed thru Winnipeg, Canada, re
cently in two specially equipped
Canadian National cars, enroute to j
jGothenberg, Sweden.
The shipment consisted of 297 i
pedigreed silver and block foxes, ;
• valued at $370,000. Of these 25 val- j
ued at $70,000 in 86 crates, from two j
Manitoba ranches, were added to j
the shipment in Winnipeg. The re- j
maining 162 came from British!
Columbia.
Later, a second Manitoba ship- j
:ment of 100 went east, bringing the I
total number of foxes shipped thru j
Winnipeg during the week to 397,
with an approximate value of $500,
000. It is stated that large addition
al shipments from this province
will be made during this month.
All the animals are assigned to
j Swedish buyers. I
Sweden has been one of the larg
est importers of Canadian-bred sil
ver and black foxes, but in the
I past the animals have been secured
largely in Prince Edward Island
and other eastern ranches.
The animals are shipped in
crates, usually holding two foxes,
and measuring two feet by four by
two. One express car holds about
50 crates, piled two deep. The ex
press rate on live foxes is one and
one-half times th? first-class rate,
.land insurance charges total five
percent of the value of the animal.
j The only unpleasant feature at
| last night’s basketball game was
' | the loud oaths let loose by a cou
; pie of the Firemen’s team. To the
men, it was not so bad, but to
the girls and ladies, the lan
i guage was entirely out of order.
