AN ILL WIND
“Tis an ill wind that blows nobody good.”
Hence out of an ill zephyr arising over the ada-i
xnant attitude of an Alaskan bureau there promises to j
come some good.
Practically all of the candidates for the Legisla
ture from the Third Division carry in their platforms
a declaration supporting the transferrenee from the j
federal government all functions bearing upon the eco-1
nomic lives of the people of the Territory and delegat-;
ing them to the control of the Legislature.
It has taken some time for the people to awaken to i
the cause of their unrest. It only required something j
like a rap of $200,000 at the mercantile pocketbook to
bring the matter of inelastic bureau control of furs and
game close home to business. I
By the same token the merchant, banker and all I
those relying upon current revenue from natural re- j
sources have been brought into closer harmony and a i
better understanding of each other’s problems.
No business may survive under dual management,
neither can the political affairs of a people progress
where there are conflicts such as obtrude through bur
eaucratic control and long-range government.
To deny Alaska the light to work out her own sal- ,
vation along accepted and proven lines is a nullification «
of the very spirit of American independence and free
dom. It was not intended by the fathers of the Republic
than one wing of society should be held subject to the
other. It remains to be seen if this unity of sentiment on
"the part of the legislative aspirants will retain its co
liesiveness at Juneau. If it dissolves under the usual
■federal pressure such as has characterized previous
Legislatures duiing the past decade, there can be little I
hope for reform.
The time was never more lipe for the display of a!
real Alaskan spirit. It must come through united action j
'by the Legislature in support of the Delegate to Con
gress regardless of his political identity.
The only grounds upon which the bureaucratic die
hards base their opposition to Alaskan control of natur
al resources entering into the daily lives of the people, |
like game, furs and fisheries, is that it would bring them I
into politics. That was the attitude of George III. of
England, when the American colonists asked the right j
To direct their own ecoomic affairs.
All these resources and many more belong within
Alaskan politics. It is only by earnest, comprehensive j,
political action that they may be properly administer
ed and conserved.
Alaska is noted for its square dealing so there is j
.nothing to fear on the part of capital in the transfer- j!
rence of these resources to the control of the Territory.
A bright augury looms in reports from other di
visions in the Territory where the home rule sentiment
dominates all other issues. Hence we may look forward
to the coming Legislature as one calculated to make
history.

Can Spring Be Here?
“What kind of a country is this
anyhow?” asked a stranger within
our gates yesterday.
The reason for his remark lay
in that while walking up the street
he saw a snow bird in one of the
display windows of the Seward
Drug Store. “The Best Drug Store
in Town”, then, down i^y the Sew
ard Light & Power Co., lo and be
hold, he preceived a red-breasted
robin winging about
“But that’s nothing”, said W. R.
Shellhorn, who also was closely ob
serving the robin’s activities, “we
saw four or five robins up the creek
some weeks ago. It’1 getting so j
that even the birds recognize the |
fact that it is much more comfor- j
table in Alaska in winter than in
the alleged balmy climes of the ,
states.”
Neither men are booze-fighters, j
either!
The many friends and former ;
acquaintances of Mrs. John Nel- •
son, wife of the manager of the ;
Seward Water Supply, warmly wel- I
:ome her and children back to Sew-, j
ard after an absence of nine years, i
Mrs. Nelson and two children ar- |
■'ived on the Admiral Rogers from
Seattle
Alaska’s mineral production, in- j
:luding precious metals and baser
metals as well as petroleum,
amounted to $14,061,000 in 1929.

she has accepted a responsible posi

RARE METALS NOT RARE
The so-called rare metals are
seldom truly rare. It is simply
that they are usually so thinly
scattered over the earth’s surface
that they are over-looked in the
search for minerals for present
use. Aluminum, formerly a rare
metal is now the most abundant
of all metals.
CLEANLINESS ana the besf ot
meats our motto. Fry-Bruhn’s.

THE GREAT
Emil Jannings
rho has never made a poor picture is again to be seen tonight
in one of his latest plays.
“The Street of Sin”
A VERY FINE MELODRAMA STAGED IN THE
FAMOUS LIMEHOUSE DISTRICT
of London. A gripping story of one of the worst slums in the
world. Emil Jannings^ as the Herculean crime leader, gives a
wonderful portrayal ol: a man’s character changing when the
faint spark of decency that is still within him is fanned to
life by good influence that comes into his life.We need say no
more as all Janning pictures are worth seeing.
With it we will give you a JOHNNY ARTHUR two-reel comedy
