UNCONQUERABLE SPIRIT
After all there is fine stuff in many of our men of
the North. Alaska is a stern taskmaster and the weak
lings are soon weeded out. They’ve got to stand the
gait, but when the love of the real Alaska gets into
their hearts its practically impossible to turn them
aside.
Take for instance Lew Bishop out there at Russian
River. He got about as severe a jolt as a man can take
and still be cheerful when he lost his old Russian River
lodge as well as his new one the other day together
with furniture, cooking utensils, personal effects, his
summer crop of vegetables, fox-feed,—everything in
fact of much value except the foxes in the pens.
But did he sit down and quit and mourn? Not by
a jugful, Geraldine. He came in for some nails and
saws and hammers and went right back, establishing
himself in the old meat house, still standing and start
ed another lodge building.
May his courage never falter!
“DOING” ALASKA GOOD
William Hard has just written two articles in the
Saturday Evening Post about “The American ‘Empire/
m which he gives account of Uncle Sam’s various pos
sessions, including Alaska. In part he says:
“Many divisions of the administrative branch of our Govern
ment at Washington hasten to do the Alaskans good.-’
We might suggest emphasis on the “do.” As a first
instance of this extraordinary beneficent effort is h >w
the Department of Commerce protects and harve ;ts
the seals of the Pribilofs for the “good” of Alaska. He
cites how last year the government sold .$896,388 worth
of seal skins of which Japan got 15 per cent, Canada
15 per cent. He failed to mention that what Alaska got
out of it was a kick in the pants, where incidentally, a
seal skin would do the most good.
THE BETTER WAY
Once in a while in our rambles we run across a
certain genial old timer who has been far places and
met many people. We ask him about this man or that
and he alway’s comes back with “there’s a good scout,”
or “he’s a fine fellow.” Never once have we caught
that old fellow lifting his shoulders in a shrug or say
ing anything in deprecation.
He has given us to think. Perhaps the world would
be a much pleasanter place if all of us would adopt his
attitude. We grow weary watching people steaming
up and healing tirades of denunciation when certain
folk are mentioned. It does no one good, either the
denouncer, the denouncee or the recipient of the de
nouncement. Maybe if we cant say anything good about
anybody we’d better close our trap and let it go at that.
LUCKY BIRDS
The American Game Protective Association says
that many of the game birds in the States will be forc
ed into the “bread” line this winter, because they too
are victims of last summer’s fearful drought. Many
States are devising means of helping to feed them. Our
birds up here are figuring on sending down shiploads
of provisions or inviting the gang up here and show
them a real country.
Sir Thomas Lipton says that he is through with
international yacht racing, and that hereafter it will
have to be a contest of British syndicates against
American syndicates. When all is said and done, there
is more real sport in one New England or Cheasapeake
Bay work-boat race than in a dozen encounters where
success turns upon the virtues of a $50,000 mast.
After what he describes as a
highly encouraging visit to Cor
dova, Valdez in company with
George Grigsby, Democratic can
didate for Delegate Congress, H H.
McCutcheon, of Anchorage, the
only Demo running for office in
this district, arrived on the SS
Northwestern Saturday. He seeks j
election to the legislature.
McCutcheon says that things'
aie looking good for the Democrats.
‘We had several rousing meetings
and, speaking for Grigsby, I think
his strength is growing every day.
I feel also that my chances are
good. I expect good support from 1
my home town and I think I will !
poll a good vote to the south. As I
for Seward, altho I know you folks !
will rally pretty strong for your very
good man Cal Brosius, I feel that j
I have enough Democratic friends !
in Seward to make a good show- •
ing even here. I have been talking
home rule, and good roads and
workmen’s compensation ‘till I’m
black in the face’, and I’m still
talking about them whether I’m el
ected or not. Anyway, I’m convinc
ed Democratic strength is gaining
and I’m sure that after Nov. 4 my
opponents will know they have
been in a race.
Saturday and Sunday’s snow
fall was evidently a local storm
for where seven inches was re
corded here but one inch fell at
Mile 52, Tunnel.
LOS ANGELES, Oct., 20, (>P)—
The University of Southern Cal
ifornia trampled the Utah Ag
gies 65 to 0 in a “breather”
game.
A train pulled out of the lo
cal station Sunday taking away
the few left here Satuiday.
Attorney A. J. Dimond of Val

prominent of disciples of Black
stone, was a brief business vis
itor in Seward Saturday while
the SS Northwestern was in
port.

Gateway Readers:—
Since it is impossible for me
to meet all the readers of this
paper personally, I am taking
this means of informing you of
my qualifications for the posi
tion of Commissioner of Educa
tion for the Territory of Alas
ka, wich position I am seeking
at the general election on No
vember 4th.
I am a college and university
graduate, having studied an
equivalent of two years beyond
the requirements for the A. B.
degree. During these two years
of post-graduate study, I have
specialized in the field of school
administration, and have cover
ed every phase of the work.
I have had 17 years experience
in school work, consisting of
experience as a rural school
teacher, high school teacher,
high school principal, grade sup
ervisor, and city superintend
dent.
With the special training and
wide experience noted above, I
am sure that I am very ade
qautely qualified for the posi
tion, and if selected, will give
the Territory an administration
of its schools that will be in
keeping with the best practices
of the times.
You will find my name on the
Democratic ticket.
Yours very truly, A. E. Karnes,
Superintendent of Schools,
Adv. Ketchikan, Alaska
