ALASKA RICH IN
LEGEND AND STORY
INTERESTING AND ROMANTIC
HISTORY OF TERRITORY
DATES FAR BACK
(Alaska Trail Blazer)
“America has no traditions; no leg
end?.” cry some of the folks who dump
their annual excess profits in Switzer
land and France. While Alaska has no
professi' nal guides to dope out marve
lous stories, she has a history that an
tedates that of most of the “states.”
Sitka cast mission bells for south
ern California and Mexico long years
before the Revolution; some of the
proudest ships on the Pacific were
launched in Resurrection harbor be
fore the Civil War; the Western Un
ion surveyed a telegraph line down
the Yukon before the first Atlantic
eab’e was coupled up; the Russian
Governor sent representatives to the
King of Hawaii in the interest of his
fur and ice trade, long before the Mex
ican war.
Coal and copper were mined system- j
atically during the Russian regime and
German coal miners were in charge of'
one mine where 1,500 feet of tunnel
was driven.
All this time the coasts of “Rus-;
sian North America” were being ex
plored by navies of a dozen nations,
and no land has ever been honored;
with a more imposing list of explorers
than has Alaska. Malaspina, Valdes, de

Fuca, Vancouver and the immortal
Captain Cook have all touched these
shores, not to speak of the courageous
Vitus Behring. Headlands, Moun
tains, bays and rivers, carry the re
membrance of their exploits in the
names of sweethearts, friends and rul
ers of navigators.
Varkee whalers from New Bedford
and pelagic sealers out of mysterious
ports follow the explorers, and the
Gulf of Alaska saw battle between
Union and Confederate cruisers during
the Civil War. There is more than one
Pirates’ Cove on the peninsula, but
as sea otter and fur seal skins are
rather perishable it is doubtful if a
search for pirate trove would be prof
itable.
The real treasure trove is a rich
fund of legend and story which in an
other generation will have been for
gotten. The earliest popular writers
on Alaska such as Rex Beach, unfor
tunately saw nothing further than the
glittering, noisy excitment of the pio
neer gold camps; they set their stories
along the approved lines of such fic
tion, and were none too sure of their
local color. Later writers have also
overlooked the wealth of history and
tradition; the romantic days of the
Russian occupation and the stirring
tribal histories. To them Alaska is
merely a catchword, and tho conveni
ent setting for the same old triangle.
Alaska evidently needs another Fen
imore Cooper, and a Washington Irv
ing, with, perhaps, the collaboration
of a Cook’s publicity man.
STANDARD OIL NEWS
The following boats called in at
the Standard Oil dock this week: The
Seymour, Ketchikan, Capt. G. Han
sen; Mildred, of Petersburg; Capt.
John Smeland; Clara of Seattle,
Middleton of Petersburg, Capt. G. M.
Isaacson; Sumner, of Ketchikan,
Capt. J. Moorhouse; Helgoland, of
Ketchikan, Capt. Louis Holm.
The Alaska Standard which was ex
pected to arrive from the westward
some time this week, went straight
through to Seattle and will be back
about June second.
SPRY BARBER, 72, SEEKS
GOOD LOOKER FOR WIFE
COSHOCTON, O., May 24—A wife
is wanted by Remick Curran, 72-year
old barber. Inasmuch as no woman, so
far has taken advantage of her “leap
year” prerogative, he resorted to the
advertising columns of the local news
paper.
That he can jump a rail fence, up
hill—a feat which might do credit to
one many years his junior—is a
claim made by Curran in his ad, an
nouncing his desire for a mate. He
states he doesn’t drink whiskey or
parade the streets. He stipulated his
would-be helpmate be “a good looker—
either a widow or a maidenly lady—
and able to cook.”
DELEGATE INFORMS WORK
ASSISTANTS DO NOT KNOW
CONDITIONS IN ALASKA
Without considering the matter of
diplomacy—or lack of diplomacy—in
| giving the Secretary of the Interior a
j general calling down over the creation
! of a reserve of several hundred thous
j and acres of land as a monument for
1 Muir Glacier, Delegate Sutherland
gave expression to a long line of
! truths in a letter to that official in
| connection with the subject, says the
I Stroller’s Weekly.
In his letter to the Secretary of the
Interior the delegate pointed out the
; extent of the trace embraced in pro
i posed reserve, embracing as it does,
i much available agricultural country,
! vast tracts of merchantable timber, un
prospected mining areas, all of which
will be taken without the reach of Al
askans by the action of the depart
ment in creating the reserve. The del
egate charged that the secretary or
| those under him have been misled by
I maps of Alaska and had no concep
■ tion of the immensity of the territory
I affected by the sweeping reserve or
j der. On the whole the letter from the
delegate was a strong protest against
j the action of the department and con
j demned it as asuming functions thal
I properly belong to congress.
ADMIRAL SHOEMAKER
NAMED AS CHIEF
BUREAU NAVIGATION
WASHINGTON, May 24.—President
Coolidge this afternoon sent to the
Senate the nomination of Admiral
William R. Shoemaker, as chief of
the Bureau of Navigation, a naval
position.
RELATIVE OFSEWARD
MAN KILLED IN MINE
Matt Seforvich, a brother of one of
the three men killed in the accident
in the Alaska Juneau mine the fore
part of the week, will leave on the
steamer Yukon tomorrow to take the
bodv to the states for burial.
The accident was caused it is said
by the mine flooding in certain parts
of the tunnel.
SOME FACTS ABOUT
BOBBED HAIR CRAZE
NEW YORK May 23.—Don’t bob
your hair to make it grow faster.
Bobbing the hair for esthetic reasons
is quite proper, providing your rela
tives do not object, says Dr. Herman
Goodman in Hygeia.
Cutting the hair injures its grow
ing qualities. Under general condi
tions hair grows one inch in six
weeks, but not all grow the same
length. On the crown and the back
of the head the hair may grow from
40 to 50 inches and be not unusual,
while on the sides 18 inches is the
limit.
Dr. Goodman makes another sur
prising statement. The years when
the hair grows most quickly is be
tween 35 and 60.
If you find hairs on your coat col
lar do not get nervous. The hair is
continually shedding even in the most
healthful persons. Only when they
go faster than they come in is the
time to get nervous. The thing to do
then is not to consult a barber or
hairdresser, but go to a reputable
physician, who though bald himself,
can tell you what to do to restore the
hair to a healthy condition.

BAD BACK TODAY?
Then Find the Cause and Correct It
As Other Folkb Have
There’s little rest or peace for the
backache sufferer.
Days are tired and weary—
Nights bring no respite.
Urinary troubles, headaches, dizzi
ne.'.N and nervousness, all tend to pre
vent rest or sleep.
Why continue to be so miserable ?
Why not use a stimulant diuretic to
the kidneys?
Use Doan’s Pills.
Thousands recommend Doan’s.
Read this interesting case:
Mrs. F. W. B -.kcr, y09 1st East St.,j
South Bend, Wash., says: “I suffered
| severely with backache. For days at
j a time I went around all bent over be
cause of the terrible pain in my back.
Some mornings I woula have to be
helped up and I was hardly able to
move about from .* whole week. Doan’s
Pil’s removed all the trouble and 1
have had no return of it since.”
Price 60c at all dealers. Don’t simply
ask for a kidney remedy—gpt Di-an's
Pills—'.ue same that Mrs. baker had.
