IRREPARABLE LOSS
It is with a sense of sadness, regret and irrepara
ble loss that we of the younger generation who knew
the old timers in their prime when they were carving
into the destinies of Alaska with mighty strokes, are
now compelled by Time’s inexorable mandate to record
their passing. One by one these grizzled veterans of the
North lay down their earthly burdens and totter to
that happier bourn, we hope, where streets are lined
with gold and every prospect pleases. There are some
of them left, still hale and hearty, but the roll call in
evitably grows appallingly short as no fitting timber
seems to come to fill their staunch niches.
These sad thoughts are called up by the news of
Clarence Berry’s death, which just came in over the
wire. One more of the real pioneers is gone, but even
though we mourn at the departure of a commanding
actor in the drama of Alaska’s development, we are
somewhat solaced by the fact that he reaped abundant
ly from his efforts and was able to enjoy the fruits of
his toil before death claimed him.
And therein lays the loss of which we grieve,
those of us who must carry on the fight for the land of
our adoption. Not only do we lose abiding, care-free
open-handed friends, but Alaska loses a valuable pio
neer spirit that can never be replaced. Just at the time
when we need them most, when their hearts’ desire
seems within their grasp and Alaska open to the com
merce and industry of the world, age must call its in
violate forfeit.
Not that all new recruits to the service are inept
and of trifling caliber. There are good men among the
later argonauts. Some are fired with the conquering
•spirit, eager to grapple with formidable guards that
Nature sets upon her treasures. These will win to fame
and fortune, and their names will be placed in hallow
ed company. But they are all too few to recruit the
dimishing ranks of the old guard. What quickening
heartbeats and tumultous joy if we could turn back
the years and start all over again with the spirit of ‘98.
OUR STEPCHILD
It’s a wise father who knows his own child all
right, but its a wiser child who can always claim the j
right father, from which observation we want it dis
tinctly understood that we are not sore or anything
but one of our editorials has gone astray and is now a
stepchild. We are talking about that little squib of
ours about the Inquiring Senator and Madelon, the An
chorage Waitress.
The Cordova Times used it first, which was fine;
then the Fairbanks News-Miner reprinted it giving
Cordova credit, doggone ‘em! Then the Juneau Empire
used it and also gave the Cordova Times credit. Well,
we got one hit out of three times at bat, so what the h-!

| After an arduous journey from
! Lignite in the coal country of the
Interior to Matanuska, and from
Matanuska to Woodrow, five head
; of Galwey cattle which have been
! ranging at Lignite under the care
i of the U. S. Experimental Farm
Service, are pausing for a few days
before resuming their journey to
Kodiak on the SS. Admiral Fara
; gut. The shipment is under the
charge of W- Terry White, animal
husbandryman in the Experimental
Service, who*;e duties carry him
from Kalsin Bay on Kodiak to
Fairbanks.
Mr. White has been most of the
summer at the Matanuska govern
ment farm. Although the season
has not been a favorable one, most
of the farmers in the Matanuska
Valley have done fairly well and
have their crops harvested with
a good hay and vegetable return.
He referred particularly to the
farm of A. A- Shonbeck who has
put up 20 tons of oat and wheat
hay. He has 90 of his 320 acres
cleared and is clearing another
40. Mr. Shonbeck took over the pro
perty last Fall and has practically
cleared his investment with his
first crop.
Speaking of the incoming herd
of musk oxen, Mr. White said
they were under the charge of
Alaska College. Several square
miles of ground adjacent to the
college have been fenced in and
it is here that the new-comers
will be given their first acquain
tance with the land of their
forefathers. He tells of musk
ox skulls that have been found
in the upper placer ground of
the Fairbanks district, indicating
that herds of these animals for
merly roamed that country.
Some of these skulls are 30 feet
underground, where fore, it is
concluded, they were there cen
turies ago.
