ANOTHER VICTIM HITS THE BOTTOM
Altho these Westward coasts have not been com
pletely charted or lighted or buoyed it would seem the
better part of marine economics to have some pilot on
board when a big ship attempts the route between the
Pacific coast and Japan by way of the Aleutians; some
one who has been thru these seas before.
The ill-fated Golden Forest, with a valuable cargo
out of San Francisco for Japan, is a case in point. 1 he
details of her troubles are lacking but she went aground
twice, the second time being her last. The skipper said,
*en passant” that his difficulties were heightened by a
poorly marked coast, which is true enough but at the
same* time there remains that element of carelessness
or niggardliness which does not provide a true pilot
of these dangerous waters. Then too, there are many
mariners who go according to the old Russian geodetic
survey which was never thorough and is now grossly
inadequate because of land movement in this South
western realm oi changing terrain. With the Aleutian
and the Golden Forest lost in a space of a few months,
both valuable ships, both in some manner hitting reefs
with full steam ahead, there would seem to be some
thing very wrong in navigation in Southwestern Alas
ka. Can't hardly blame it on 'the rocks, although they
do change. It is unfair to blame it on the lighthouse
service or the geodetic survey because they are doing
all their funds will permit. A very large part of the
blame belongs in Congress that has been niggardly in
its appropriations for Alaska waters, notwithstanding
a growing tendency of Japanese shipping to explore
Alaska ports to find out what makes us go. But there
is further blame to be attached to the ship owners or
the charteres themselves, in attempting to navigate
waters, which are admittedly dangerous and poorly
lighted, without assuring themselves of competent
pilotage. There are a number of sea-faring men along
the Southwestern coast who know these waters like a
book and who would be. glad to save a million dollar
steamer for a few bucks a day.
Though it is rather late to remind the transporta
tion department of the Alaska Railroad, it would have
been nice if that department had thought of running
an excursion train to Seward upon the arrival of the
Russian aviators in the plane “Land of Soviet.”

Campus Day will be observed1
j by the Seward schools in the J
near future when the students
armed with shovels, axes, picks,
I etc., will attack the Seward school ;
| grounds. This will make the sur- ;
i roundings of the magnificent!
i school building more attractive
! and enhance the beauty of Se
| ward in general.
The students hope that by this
effort they can show their ap- |
preciation to the people of Se
ward for their decision regard
| ing the educational facilities of
j Seward.
Campus Day is an idea bor
rowed from th'| universities and
i institutions of higher learning.
To enforce it the students have
! a police squad who are often
termed “Knights of the Hook”, and
who will “colar” any person not
doing his duty and give him a
paddling. This is almost impos
sible in Seward, so another me- j
thod will be resorted to; that of
appealing to the student’s stom
ach.
The Seward school girls will
" a” anti if a student does:
not work he shall not eat.

STRANGLED TO DEATH
NEW YORK, Sept., 25, (/P)-Mrs. I
Julio Quintieri was strangled to :
death by a man believed to be a re- j
jected suiter who annoyed her with !
his attentions. Mrs. Quintieri, fear- |
ing such an assault, barred the
windows farcing on the fire escape
; outside her room but left another
;open. The murderer thus gained
entrance to kill his victim.

SYDNEY, Aust., Sept., 25, </P)
—Rival tribes on the island of Am- I
brym, in the New Hebrides, recent- j
ly engaged in an orgy of fighting, j
each blaming the other for the!
eruptions of a volcano that, after!
| remaining quiescent for 15 years, j
has, at the behest of a boastful j
witch doctor, burst into activity.
The lava wiped out several vil
lages and a trading station, and
the natives affected, having in vain ;
entreated the witch doctor to stop !
the volcano, resorted to bitter war- 1
fare against him and his tribe.
