THE ARMY CABLE SERVICE
All Seward welcomes its new neighbors,—the mem
bers of the U. S. Signal Corps who are to reside amongst
us.
The United States Signal Corps, as well as the Army
generally, occupies a very bright place in the history, of
Alaska. The people of Alaska are well acquainted with the
unselfish work of the Army personnel on duty in the Ter
ritory. From the early days of American Alaska the
Army's officers and men have been the pioneers and path
finders of the north. The names of Allen, Abercrombie,
Glenn, Ray, Herron and so many others that space would
not permit the enumeration of them all, are indelibly
stamped on the pages of Alaskan history. The Signal
Corps has maintained communication with the outside
world and has sacrificed many of its men in the service.
The personnel is of the highest type of American man
hood, experts in their chosen field, whose esprit de corps
is second to none, and is chiefly responsible for the effi
cient service to the Territory.
Seward is indeed fortunate in having these new fam
ilies added to its population, and welcomes them with open
arms. .
ADMISSION DAY, CALIFORNIA
The State of romance in American history, California!
is seventy-six years old today and throughout the famous;
southland and in Alaska today its citizens are observing j
Admission Day, the day when a bill was passed in con
gress admitting California into the Union as a State.
Californians especially pride themselves on the cli- j
mate, wdiich has such fame as to attract visitors from all |
corners of the earth. Agriculture is enormously developed.
Literally every product of the temperate and sub-tropical
zones is grown there. California's grape crop alone lasf
year ran well over $60,000,000. Mining interests are exten- (
sive, in gold, silver, copper, lead and quicksilver. The
stores of petroleum are among the largest in the world. •
Enormous shipping is carried on. The forests are exten
sive comprising every variety of tree which grows north
of the purely tropical zone. California is the “hub of the
wheel" insofar as the moving picture industry of the
world is concerned.
Acquired from Mexican political control in 1846, gold ,
was discovered in 1848, and in 1849 the most remarkable
“geld rush" ever known began, it being said that the gold i
produced thereafter enabled the United States to with
stand so well the economic strain of the Civil War.
The origin of the name of California is uncertain, .
it may be from Spanish “Calida fornelo," a hot furnace.
Perhaps that is where Californians get their pepetual
“pep". Hats off to the “Golden" or “El Dorado" state to- «
day! ;
c
It is pointed out by the Juneau Empire that “Mr.
Sutherland is appealing to voters because he is labeled as
a republican in the race for delegate to congress. Mr. *
Sutherland opposed the regular republican nominee for *
delegate to congress in the campaigns of 1906, 1908, 1910
and 1912. In 1914 and 1916 the republicans had no candid
ate for delegate to congress, or he probably would have 1
opposed the nominee. He was twice elected as a member
of the territorial legislature as an independent. To him in
dependent candidates are abhorrent only when he is run
ning under a republican label.” Anchorage Times.
A HEAVENLY PLACE
Wouldn't this old earth be a heavenly place if the pol
iticians would be as anxious to serve the people between -
campaigns as they are a few weeks prior to an election? 1
You don't need much formal exercise on an Alaskan
vacation. Scratching is enough.
Early to bed and early to rise, and your face won’t
be walked on by flies.
