SOMETHING ABOUT ALASKA ICE
Its a source of wonder to the visitors from the Out
side that thousands of tons of ice must be manufactured
in Ketchikan each year for the use of the fishing boats.
“Does ice have to be made artificially in Alaska?” they
anxiously enquire and when answered in the affirma
tive, bang goes another cherished, ignorant notion of
the effete East to be stored in the chest of exploded
memories along with the tales of Mormons with horns,
Indians with tomahawks and war-paint and cowboys
with hair pants.
It is mighty discouraging to up so-called dis
seminators or purveyors of wisdom after all these years
(if it were not amusing) to meet traveler after traveler
who freely admit that the people of states generally
know “absolutely nothing about Alaska.” Yet is is not
to be wondered at, as far-away Alaska is concerned,
when the people of the states believe that polygamy still
flourishes in Utah, and that at a great church confer
ence at Philadelphia a few years ago, in a huge and
beautiful church edifice, scores of fashionable, frantic
wromen dragged a high dignitary of the Mormon church
from the pulpit and tore his clothes from him to find
out if he wore strings on his under-garments instead
of buttons as is the Mormon custom.
The popular suposition Outside seems to be that it
is so cold up here that the fishermen do not need ice,
and if they do they simply sail close to a glacier and let
an iceberg fall on them.
They can not seem to grasp the idea that our sum
mers are the most delightful summers in North Amer
ica with laughing streams and hills carpeted with every
variety of flower known to the northern half of the
United States. They will not believe tomatoes grow
in the shadow of the Arctic Circle even if they see it
hanging on the vine. “There just ain’t no such animal,”
they say and go away sadly shaking their heads. If it
wasn’t fun we might some time get tired and quit telling
them that Alaska is one of God’s chosen places on earth.
Just one more reason why a marine hospital should
be located in Seward was seen last week when a sick
seaman from the fishing schooner Atlas was brought
here. Our own doctor fixed him up alright, of course,
but as long as the government sponsors such institu
tions for the benefit of those who earn their living j
upon the sea, agitation for one located in the Port of
Seward ought never cease.
Kentucky is said to have 70 percent too many law- j
yers. And every state (and the Territories) have 70 per j
cent too many laws.
Well, here we are again; meaning that time of the
year when the bank roll assumes such proportions that
the only remedy seen by many is to take it to the states
and scatter it to the four-winds. Ah well! After all that
is all money is good for, to spend, so we should worry, j

One of the most pleasant social
jgatherings this fall was .enjoyed
last evening when Mrs. Charles
Lechner and Mrs. Gust Peterson
entertained a number of guests at
Mrs. Peterson's home at a shower
in honor of Mrs. Leonard Hopkins.
Each of the many guests brought
a gift which was especially useful
for the home, and these were so
numerous they filled the huge bas
ket to the brim; pictures, linen
china—almost enough to refurnish
a home, so it seemed.
During the evening a variety of
home-made cakes was served with
coffee and cocoa. Everyone, too,
was busy hemming towels to help
replenish the linen supply.
After spending a very pleasant
evening the guests departed, home
ward bound. Those present were:
• The Misses Alva Peterson, June
Geyer, Lois Jessen, Marie Talbom,
Catherine Horton, Wilma Shell
horn, Agnes Anderson, Ernestine
Jessen, Sylvia Sexton. Mesdames
Gust Peterson, Charles Lechner,
Leonard Hopkins, DuMarce, John
Talbom. Bob Manthey, Gus Man

Ml. ID MRS. G. ROIL
It has been 22 years since Geo..
Roll, pioneer business man and
mining man of Hope, has been
in Seward and exactly that same
length of time since he was in
the states. And incidentlly it was
22 years ago when Mr. and Mrs.
Roll were married; and in Seward.
Naturally, the popular oldtime
residents, who are in Seward en
route to California for the win
ter, are extremely happy to have
the opportunity of spending a
few days here with their numer
us friends prior to departing for
Seattle on Saturday; and to re
pay visits to friends who were
guests at thir home during various
times these many years past.
The present plans of the charm
ing rounle is to spend the winter
in California and perhaps pur
chase a home down there; return
ing to Alaska during the summer
months and back south in the
fall.
The Rolls brought in a fine
assortment of apples grown on
their tract at Hope. It is too bad
the swarms of tourists which vis
ited Alaka this year can not see
these specimens on display in
the clothing window of Brown &
Hawkins Corp. It is difficult for
many to understand Alaska can
grow almost anything; in addi
tion to gold.
Dow Galloway, a member of the
local Signal Corps, who departed
for the outside recently on a vaca
tion, is reported to be married.
THANKS HER FRIENDS
Mrs. Hanna Bahrs, who left
Seward for Seattle on the last
steamer, desires to thank her
many friends here who assisted
her during her illness and that
upon her return she hopes to
express her appreciation person- I
ally.
COURT ADJOURNED
The brief term of the district '
court which had been in session
here since Saturday afternoon,
called a halt yesterday on unin
teresting arguments and motions
and today moved over to Anchor
age. The plan is to return here j
Monday, to resume where they left!
off and a week from next Sat- j
urday, leave for their headquar- |
ters at Valdez.
