Who ever got the notion that the slow down of thej
high fever in the big camps meant the passing of gold
mining in Alaska should go to some ivory works to j
have his dome reset. Look at the Klondike, Fairbanks, j
Nome. Iditarod, Ruby, Koyukuk, Valdez and Valdez
Creek, the Copper River, Cache and Willow ( reeks,
the Hope country, Moose Pass, Nuka Bay and the West
ard as well as many other places too numerous to men
tion, still pouring out their flood of gold and their prom
ises of tomorrow.
AN ALASKAN’S VIEW POINT
This thing of making the buyer equally guilty with
the seller of bootleg likker will surely result in a lot of
complications. For one thing, it will put that guy who al-,
ways takes one but never buys back in an uneasy frame i
of mind. How about him, anyway?
Won’t the moodier be guilty of something besides
being called a tightwad? Maybe the law will be a good
thing if they can figure out to frame something on him.
And how about the under-cover man, better known
as a dirty stool-pigeon, who goes around buying to get
evidence? Be tough if the government has to pinch its
own agents. Tiien ^upnosing they smell a fruity aroma on
a man’s breath. Will that give them grounds to take out
a search warrant and explore him with a stomach pump? ,
Yes indeed, Watson. The matter looks complicated.
THE ALASKAN LABOR PROBLEM
While the Pacific Coast States are wrestling with
the unemployment problem and seeking ways and means
for the creation of relief from what is described as the
worst conditions within 15 years, it is remarkable that it
never occurred to anyone that Alaska offers a splendid
outlet for many unemployed during the fishing season.
Based upon estimates that while not conclusive, of
fer a basis for computation, fully 10,000 American citi
zens could be placed in Alaska every spring. . «
When the nation needs soldiers for defense, it is the
citizen who fills the ranks of the armies; therefore they!
have a prior right to all benefits accruing in the form of
labor.
We will not pause to argue about the route of the In- j
ternational Highway. Yukon Territory is undoubtedly
entitled to a portion of the glory and the benefits to be
derived from the great road from Seattle to Fairbanks.
When so many big considerations are involved it seems
a strong probability the road will eventually go to the
Yukon as well as the Tanana.
Reports from the back country indicate that there
has been an unusual amount of snow the past winter,
which should be good news to placer operators.
I
As usual, while they are wearing fur-lined B V D’s
down in the states. Alaskans are chasing butterflies, and
wearing Palm Beach suits.
If anyone has seen anything more beautiful than;
Mt. McKinley bathed in the cold rose of the low-sweep
ing sun he’s eligible to a place in the celestial choir.
A pleasant thought for an idle hour. According to j
its population, Alaska probably has the best air service
in the world. Nobody has ever figured it out but Alas-j
ka’s miliage of good roads per capita will probably stack I
up with any other country. What we wrant to do now is!
connect these roads with the Outside so we won't have to
leave our cars in Alaska when we want to take a trip;
to other lands.
SEMUn I EMI POST
Exemplifying a spirit of true
Americanism and a civic interest
that is more than commendable,
members of the Seward Post, !
American Legion, with less than j
$50 in their general fund, resolved !
last night to raise $100 to donate j
towards purchasing equipment for j
the new Seward hospital.
The subject was presented by i
Clarence D. Lawrence, vice-Com- !
mander. who’s talk was followed
by those of Dr. A. R. Roberts, Post
Commander Campbell and others; 1
the general discussion occupying a
large part of the evening.
Several methods for raising
money were suggested and consid
ered, when it was finally decided ;
to use for the purpose the profits j
that are expected from the sale of
Alaska Flags that the Post had
been contemplating and are now j
completing arrangements for.
The Post executice committee. !
Roberts, Lalios and the officers, ac- j
cepted full charge of the plan and •
are taking immediate action.
Among othr matters transacted \
at last evening’s meeting, the ap- \
plication of William Jack Robert- !
son was presented and accepted. \
rhe Post also had the pleasure of j
a visit from Carl C. Crial of Wan- [
atchee Post No. 10. Mr. Crial is the j
new foreman of the Seward Fish- i
cries Inc.

MASONS

of the Masons it was decided to
assist the local hospital project
and thru their generous donation
it is now possible to have a raeco- i
lite flooring in the operating room !
which will be installed by Gerhard j
Johnson thus bringing the flooring
of this room to the highest point
of sanitation and on a par with
the operating room in any hospi
tal. The Masons also agreed to
purchase the utensil sterilizing
units which brings the total of
their gift to approximately $500.
