JUST PLxYIN DEVILISHNESS
Can you imagine a grown man or a youth old
enough to pack a gun deliberately bringing his shoot
ing iron to his shoulder and plugging away at govern
ment signs along our trails and highways which any
sane person must know have been placed there at
great trouble and expense? No Geraldine, we can’t
figure it out unless it be the natural cussedness that
seems to reside somewhere in the shriveled souls of
some who are permitted to roam this blessed footstool,
unattended.
These enameled signs have been put out by the
Forest Service and give the names of trails, distances
and directions for the general information of the pub
lic. And yet The Gateway receives news that there has
been a lot of wilful and seemingly malicious destruc
tion of these signs, particularly in the Snow River re
gion, near Kenai Lake.
Its a failing of human nature and we have to
blushingly admit that at one time out in the States be
fore we had our diapers off we loved to throw stones
at street lights, telephone poles and at signs along the
railroad grade. We didn’t know better because we were
only mischievous kids, but the man who is able to tra
verse the trails of this country and tries his marks
manship on a sign that may be of great value to some
other traveler, is a plain, misguided “sap.”
We feel sorry for these chaps if they are ever
caught or reported. Let them look up the law and
read what it says about fine and imprisonment.
WESTWARD STOCK RAISING
There is one outstanding fact that has been learn
ed by the stockmen of the Westward especially during
the last winter and summer.
This is the indisputable truth that if stock are
properly cared for during the more severe part of the
winter, particularly sheep, they will take on fat so rap
idly on the rich grasses of the spring that they seem
to be transformed by magic.
There seems to be a splendid chance for the stock
raising industry out there with prospect of immediate
increase in herds where experience has been satisfac
tory. This will be of financial concern to Seward at no
distant date.
As another evidence that Resurrection Bay has
most of the world backed off the board when it comes
to strange and beautiful if sometimes eerie scenic ef
fects, it looked at sunrise this morning as if the entire
eastern mountains were wrapped in a gigantic conflag
ration. The clouds seemed to be drifting red flames
swinging to the zenith. It was a glorious vision for
those who were fortunate enough to be up that early,
testifying further to the effect that this is just about
the finest fall weather what am.
Altho the recent change of front by prohibition
enforcement that home brewing is not illegal it proba
bly will not benefit the grape industry in Alaska. How
ever, we may look for a decided boom in the salmon
berry market as well as flour, malt syrup, hops, pota
to peelings and dried apples that go into the making
of macoola.
If a youngster can boss his pa and ma he is pro
bably endowed with great executive ability. At least he
will think so until he gets a few hard knocks.
The promoter is the keen-scented hunting dog of
industry. And we need many legitimate promoters in
Alaska to point the way.
Flyers who make it are heroes, those who don’t
ought to have known better than to try.
