SOME MORE INVESTIGATION ECHOES
When Tom Moore or some other immortal Irish
poet wrote the McGuffey Fourth Reader which started:
“Give me three grains of corn, Mother,
Give me three grains of corn,”
he surely had reference to some member of the rock
ing-chair league at Anchorage who will now have to
go to work or starve.

“In days of old. when nights were cold
When Smith held his sway,
A warrior bold without his gold,
Sand merrily this lay,— —
Sang merrily this lay,— —
Then what care I tho death be nigh.
I’ll get that job or die;
So what care I, tho death...be.be...nigh— —
I’ll cop that job...or...die.”
-From Lays of Anchorage Cavaliers

“Roll on, thou dark and deep muddy Inlet roll,
While scows down thy swift current creep,
Upon thy banks the mud hens take their toil
And high tides make thy harbor two feet deep."
-Songs of the Anchorage Harbor.
“Reminds me of a visit 1 made to Wisconsin about
20 years ago,” said Senator Howell. “The Old Guard
had regained possession of the legislature, and had
promised jobs to about 200 followers. When the jobs
were all apportioned it was found that four men were
without places. So they were appointed ‘clock-winders
at $5 a day apiece. The two legislative halls each had
an eight-day clock."

‘•The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,
The ‘Good Investment’ writers scan the lea,
The Reindeer Herder plods his homeward way,
And leaves the world, to darkness and to me.
-Selected verse from Dickens (Not G. C.)
THE LAST GASP, PERHAPS
“Tell Jessen that in spite of the Seward Gateway,
the Chicago office of the Alaska Railroad, will con
tinue to be on the map,” was the parting shot from G.
C. Dickens as he stumbled aboard the SS Aleutian,
southbound, the other day. Dickens has been in charge
of the rocking chair brigade at Chicago for the rail
road for a number of years and now that he fears his
soft job is on the skids, evidently blames the poor little
Gateway.
Away in the South Seas, the passengers and mails
are taken off a sinking ship, while the crew remain on
aboard to pump ship. By the time this is printed, their
fate will be known. Their courage is praiseworthy,
their judgement faulty.
When the noon siren roars in Seward and the dogs
begin to howl, oldtimers are reminded of Interior fish
camps along the rivers as steamboats plowed their
weary way.
The shrewd Alaska politician usually hops on the
band wagon as soon as he is fairly convinced of its
identity.
The skunk who ascended a tree and exercised his
biological prerogatives with respect to a tree-sitter
working for a record, simply may have been laboring
in behalf of a better and more useful information in
the local paper than bulletins of sitting contests.
GREEN LINES IN
NETS WORRY HIM
Why does the v Alaska fisher
man want a green line woven
through the middle of his
seine net? Frank Barbour of
Bishops Canning, Wilts, En
England, wants to know. He has
arrived »at Juneau all the way
from his home in the British
I Isles to find out. He makes nets.
| He sells them in every part of
| the globe where harvests are
l reaped from the sea.
In no other place on earth,
jexcept this region, is there any
j demand for a green line, accord
| ing to the Juneau Empire’s arti
cle about Mr. Barbour, so if
| Alaska seiners have discovered
! something new in the way of
luring fish into captivity, he is
I anxious lo learn of it for he
j feels sure its introduction else
I where would be good business
• for him.
L
The Senators read and re- I
s read Don Carlos Brownell's i
j view point on the Alaska Rail- !
| road situation, with great in
i terest and are reported as say
: ing it was one of the best pre
j sen tat ions they had received.
Right or wrong, it was one
I man’s candid opinion.
Each Senator received a copy
i prior to departure to the In- j
|terior.
....
i Recent arrivals in Seward
from Southeastern Aalska bring
word of the big “whoopee” line
up Lathrop and Frank Foster
of Cordova, made in those parts.
It is said they sought with tooth
and nails to obtain the backing
of the Indian vote.
I The ‘cat will out!’
Judging from the number of
! heads lopped off from Seward’s
pitifully small list of Alaska
Railroad employes, it can al
most be taken for granted that
| in proportion to the retrench
ments taking place, Seward will
' be cut about 50 per cent to An
chorage's five per cent.
The Gateway has been inform
ed that development projects
by the Alaska Railroad, which
; had previously been contemplat
ed as well as future ones, are in
no way effected by the present
deficit-cutting process. Seward
is now awaiting to see if the
long-awaited dock extension will
be built or if the piling, which
has- lain here for months, will
be cut into fire-wood to keep the
home-fires burning.

“Where ever I have traveled
in Alaska during the past few
years I have noted one thing,’’
remarked a visitor to The Gate
way office, “individuals were cutt
ing each other’s ‘throats’ each
I town appeared to be Tunning
j down’ its neighboring town and
each Division was ‘cutting: the
heart’ out of all others. I would
like to go thru this country with
a six-shooter,” he added, vehem
enently.
The Gateway asked: "Did you
meet ‘so and so' on your jour
ney?”
“Yes,” was the reply, “he’s
just a d-fool!”
