GIVES PRAISE TO
THE ALASKA COLLEGE
Charles E. Claypool, a prominent
attorney of Seattle, and one of those
-ourdoughs who counts his years
spent in the interior as the best of
his life, has a good word for the Col
legian and the college in the follow
ing paragraph to President Bunnell:
“I was much pleased ,as a sour
dough. and one of the father of Fair
banks, to receive the Farthest North
Collegian this morning. It is a long
cry from the trading camp and Bar
nett’s store and the Big Saloon to this
modern little city with such an insti
tution. My daughter, now the moth
er of two sons ,made the grammar
grade in Fairbanks. My son, ready
for high school from his training
there, graduated in the college of
science at the University of Wash
ington in 1920. Tempi’.t do fugit, eh,
wot? All good luck to you person
ally and great success to your insti
tution.”
MINING MEN MAY OPPOSE
MELTING OF GOLD COINS
SACRAMENTO, Cal., Aug. 7.—One
of the major problems to come be
fore the twenty-seventh annual con
vent’on of the American Mining con
gress, when it meets here Septem
ber 20 to October 4, is the huge loss
the country is said to suffer every
year through the destruction of gold
coins.
At present no law prohibits the
melting down of gold coins and the
use of such metal in the manufac
ture of jewelry and in the arts. Pro
ponents of a ban on such melting
contend that five, ten and twrenty
dollar gold pieces ,minted at the ex
pense of the taxpayers, are thus re
moved from circulation and from the
media of exchange, to be turned into
luxuries. Their opposition is based
principally on the fact that gold has
a fixed price, set by the government,
unaffected by supply and demand,
unlike other commodities.
An anti-destruction law for gold
coins will be agitated at the conven
tion and the attitude of the entire
mining industry will be sounded out.
If the sentiment is favorable, steps
\Vill be taken to have such a bill
presented in congress.

WHAT HAPPENED ON VICTORIA'
WHEN IT NEARED MT. K ATM AI
—
The following is taken from the In
dependent Squawk, a paper which is
publishd without provocation or rea
son ,aboard the Victoria on her first
trip North:
It was in the summer o? 1922
when Fairbanks rode into Nome on
a White Horse. Here he met Ruby j
a beautiful daughter of Nome. A
whirlwind courtship followed. He
had a Skagway about him and was
willing to Teller anything. Juneau,
he won her. They were married by
St. Michael at Holy Cross. Nov it
K learned that the wedding was a
fake, just a Bluff. He has cast her
from his home clad only in an East
Cape. A Council was called, in Nome
and the Marshall is hot, on his trait.
It is rumored that the villain Fair
banks is seeking Anchorage in Dime
Creek. Alaska law must act with
Hot Sprngs and play the Ram part.
Circle the Territory if necessary
with an Eagle boat but put the field
where he will never leave another!
