BIG BUTTER AND EGG MEN
If they keep on the way they are going, it won't
be long now before the big butter and egg men of Alas
ka will become famous in song and story. They are hitti- i
ing it up along the Great White Way, doing the night
clubs and buying drinks for the boys and girls just
like the old bouurdough used to do with his poke of
gold or like the more modern hen rancher, creamery
magnate or cheese manufacturer of Petaluma and Wis
consin. They will be cutting their swath because the
butter and egg men of Alaska are making money and
are just getting under way.
Every oldtimer in Alaska cut his wisdom tooth on|
canned cow and cold storage hen fruit to say nothing!
of pickled butter and ossified cheese. The boys are!
getting soft and effete now and the newcomers howd
their heads off over this thing of eating out of a can.
Strange too, because they are going after canned and
bottled (?) stuff in the States stronger than ever before, j
Well, the butter and egg men are taking advantage j
of the new fashion in Alaska and they are making good.
Down in Ketchikan, Juneau, here in Seward, An
chorage and Fairbanks, are large dairies with the best
of cows that can be bought and any number of henner
ies have sprung up all along the line. \
Here in Seward the dairy of Mr. and Mi’s. Henry
Leirer, the Seward Dairy, has for four years been giv
en a 100 percent rating by the Territorial inspector. A
wonderful record of efficiency, cleanliness and pure
product. On Lake Kenai the Longs conduct a successful
chicken ranch. Over at Kodiak chicken ranches and cat
tle ranches are becoming common. At Anchorage and1
Fairbanks several dairymen and others are doing fine.
These are the entering wedges to a greater Alaska
of happy homes and contented cows. A self-supporting
Alaska where the field will yield its vegetables and ,
grains, the chicken run its eggs and spring furs, the
dairy its milk, butter and cheese, the bee hive its honey,!
the pasture its beef, mutton and pork. The streams and
the sea will offer up their fish and the mountains, game,
and the valleys its berries.
And just for good measure the vast coal fields
will yield up their fuel to cook the whole bloomin'
goulash.
THE INVESTIGATORS
A widespread feeling akin to disgust is being en
gendered in the public mind by the investigation mania
now afflicting these United States. This does not mean
that the public condones actions by groups or individ
uals which are against the general welfare, but some
of the methods employed by the investigators are be
coming tiresome. ,
The truth is that Senatorial investigations are gen
erally inspired by political and selfish motives. Even 1
in cases where an investigation might be necessary and ]
proper, any possible good that could accrue to the pub- j
lie is often largely nullified by the manifest spirit of
malice and unfairness which characterizes the procedure
of the inquiring tribunal.
And when all is said and done, about the only tan
gible result of a Senatorial investigation is a nice, juicy *
expense bill which the taxpayers must settle.
-- j
Senatorial courtesy” is another old idea that has i
been debunked.
i
The pedestrian's hope is that the new $200 automo- jj
bile will be so small that he can kick it into the gutter.
- p
No wonder they pardoned Doc Cook. It has just:
been discovered that he was an amateur as compared;
to the gang in Wall Street. \

STANLEY, PUSSES MOT
BFTEB BRIEF IllISS
Ed W. Stanley, well known lo
cal rancher who was suddenly
taken ill here yesterday while
at work, passed away this morn
ing at 8 o'clock. Little hope was
held for his recovery owing to
a heart breakage so severe that
the attending physician. D. H. W.
Hyatt, forbid the patient to be
removed from the residence of
Martin Lanning, friend of the
deceased. Mrs. Stanley was at
the bedside of her husband con
stantly until the end.
Mr. Stanley was a resident of
this district for the last five or
six years, and the last few years
had been engaged in ranching
at Mile 3.
Besides the grieving widow Mr.
Stanley is survived by a daughter
at Juneau who is enroute to Sew
ard on the S. S. Northwestern.
The body is at the Seward
Funeral Parlor awaiting the ar
rival of the daughter when inter
ment will be made in the Seward
cemetery.
GOT SMACKED DOWN
Nickoli Nickeroff, who recently
was shot in the heart by Dart
Cupid, was smacked down again
the other night, this time at
Porcupine City, suberb of Seward,
where he was spending the even
ing. It seems as though some
person, name unknown, hit Nick
over the head with the soft side
of an Alaska spruce club, Nick
nose-diving for the count of 188.
When picked up it was at first
thought Nick had passed on but
not so. He is now in the local hos
pital.
Investors are finding that ad
vertising place mining and oil
companies in the active list.
