Our mother-in-law, who is a nosey individual pro
pounded this one some time ago. "Why don’t yuh git a
eo’iuent job where yuh have to travel around and
inspect something? They pay you fair to middlin wages
am! expenses; yuh could eat on the tat oi tne land.
YU'bet! You could travel and do vour inspectin’ an
take the wife and kids, too. Me too! We could see Alas
ka at gov’mint expense and you would have a nice soft
We didn’t answer the old girl for we hated to ad
mit to our ambitious kinswoman that we never ex
pected to obtain the pull, nor the “lunch-hook” in the
gravy, that would land us in so soft berth. But, nev
er-the-less, it set us thinking.
We wonder how it is when a hard working commit
tee which has been assigned to gather information for
congress or a bunch of good fellows in one department
down at Washington, have to come to Alaska to escape!
the heat and bring along the family. With all due res-;
pect we know of innumerable cases where both the of
ficial and his family have paid their own way. But, on
the other hand, we recall other men at Washington,
who claim to be saving the country from the demo
crats, who nearly always travel on some kind of a spe
cial boat, or something, furnished gratis by some de
partment. Maybe we had better get busy and write
something nice instead of facts and endeavor to grab;
one of these jobs. We wouldn’t have to be a senator, a
representative, or even a delegate, to satisfy this moth
er-in-law of ours for, she says, some little dinky job
like a bureau chief or a director of this or that, or a
doctor of this or those, would satisfy her.
Then, on the other hand, we got to wondering if
the fellows are wholly to blame, anyway, for maybe they
too have ambitious mother-in-laws who desire to accom
pany them on said trips. Maybe some of them are weak
sisters and don't dare travel without a companion; a
sort of a buffer between them and the public, so to
speak.
Nope! We don’t think we want any government job
and we wish you would tell our mother-in-law for us.
We pass along this biological note, vouched for by
an artists’ club; Brunettes are generally knock-kneed;
red heads are usually bow-legged, but not necessar
ily hot tempered, and are well-balanced mentally as a
rule. Blondes are not classified, although possibly pre
ferred.

The schooner El Hurd, Capt.
Ralph Grosvold, skipper, and A.
Grosvold, owner, arrived in port
yesterday from Seattle enroute
to Sand Point. The El Hurd un
derwent alteration to the ex
tent of $12,000 while in Seattle,
Mr. Grosvold says, and it now
probably the finest vessel of its
size and type in that Wsetward
district.
The name of Grosvold can be
likened with those of the earliest
day pioneer of Alaska for he set
tled at Sand Point in 1888 and
has been there since. In 1902 he
established his present mercan- j
tile business; this was directly af
ter the Nome gold rush. Since j
that early day he has acquired
many other interests, canneries, !
fox farms, etc., and for years
pest has been recognized as one ;
of the Westward's most promi
nent of business men.
For 1 he last six months Mr.
Grosvold has been touring the
continent for two purposes, that
of regaining his health and to
visit relatives residing at the four
corners of the continent.
He left Sand Point February J
27 and during the intervening
period visited all thru the mid
west, the East and down South.
In Wisconsin he spent a happy
reunion with a brother whom he
had not seen for 51 years. At
this family reunion 42 relatives
of the family were present. Many
other descendants are scattered
at other points in the United
States, and in Europe.
Mr. Grosvold, who returns to
his Alaska home much improved
in health, recalled his first trip
to Alaska, in 1887, at which time
he first made the acquaintance
of Capt. O. A. Johansen. They
formed a friendship at that time
which has lasted down the years
and while in Seward the oldtimers
had considerable to discuss.
Others on board the El Hurd are
Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Bartel who
will assume charge of the Gros
void blue fox farm on Cherbor- ;
ough island, 50 odd miles from
Sand Point; Joe Lyns, the well
known Westward oldtimer; and
Innes Nickeferoff, former Seward
lad, who is now holding down
the cook’s job on the vessel.
The El Hurd is 65 feet in length
with a tonnage of 38. A mail sub
sidy around Shumagin island,
once a month, keeps the vessel
more or less busy throughout the i
year.
But of all his possessions that
which Mr. Grosvold is most
proud of is his life-membership
in the Seward Igloo, Pioneers of
; Alaska. He has always been very
active in the Order until recent
years but still keeps in close
touch with the oldtimers.
