LET US BE CALM
Its altogether possible and maybe very probable
that we may lose our minds up here in Alaska. They
tell us that the long winter nights and the ice worms
get into the system and jim up the works. After the fat
al virus of the Aurora Borealis and the said and insid
ious ice worms take to the blood, give pause; stop, look
and listen; maybe we’ll get violent!
The busybodies not only want to renew the protect
ion on sea lions but wish to protect the eagle. This in
addition to their announced intention of protecting the
bear. Now then, we must be calm. We must be cool and
considerate.
We must be considerate first because the busybodies
have such a different viewpoint from us. They mean
well, but do they understand? Can they understand
when living in the furthest East and attempting to
make laws for the farthest West? Would they like our
meddling in their Down East problems? Why can’t
they let us figure out our troubles here in the North
and West? We know more about them than they do be
cause they are our troubles right here on the ground
and we are the people facing them.
If we want to kill eagles, for whatever reason what
soever, must we listen to someone who knows nothing
about eagles? It we say its fundamentally, economically
and philosophically wrong to protect sea lions must we
listen to theorists who don't know what they are talking
about?
If we want to kill bear to make room for sheep and
cattle must we give up the long fight to populate Alas
ka with happy families? We had a thought that we were
trying to open a territory one-fifth of the United States.
Grasping Dame Opportunity by the forelock, Col.
0. F. Ohlson, general manager of the Alaska Railroad,
is giving the people of Anchorage the chance to come
to Seward tomorrow, on a nexcursion train, and join
with this city in a royal welcome to the Alaska Steam
ship Company liner, Aleutian. There’s a man after our
own heart; on his toes all the time.
Thank goodness the ice has gone out at Nenana
and especially so that our friend John Mackwiz, young
prosepector, got into the money. John has long been
trying his property at Mile 40 and an extra nine thous
and should put him thru in fine shape.
THAT HIGHWAY CARAVAN
There will be a number of American newspaper
men on that International Highway jaunt from Van
couver to Hazelton to look over the first thousand miles
of the road from Vancouver to Fairbanks. We hope we
get a sober report on that trip. That British Columbia
gasoline may put Scotch smoke in the carburetors. And
then think of a lot of Americans being in a free coun
ti \ . No we have not been invited yet nor, as far as we
know, any other Alaskan newspaper man.
The \ alley of the Ten Thousand Smokes is one of
the outstanding natural wonders of the world. Strange
that accommodations are not furnished for people to
see that wonder.
Sourdough Bill rises up to remark that this new
electric bakery in town certainly should turn out light
bread.

time by “steen”thousands of seconds. How about you?

ternates with the Yukon in !
furnishing weekly service to Sew- 1
ard and intermediate ports. This i

S. Alaska to Seward.
The Aleutian was acquired and j
fitted as she has been, one of the I
1 finest coastwise vessels in the:
United States, to meet the ever in
|creasing demand for superior ser
vice and accommodations, both
from the regular travel between
Seattle and Alaska, and also to
properly handle the demandi for
space from the tourists, who thru- |
out the United States are eagerly j
turning their attention to Alaska !
when vacation trips are being dis
cussed.

furs, Mr. and Mrs. Manley Senft
and William Sleeman, Sewardites.

rapping in the Kamachak Bay dis
trict returned to Seward early to
day in the gas boat Stanley.
“Trapping was good”, remarked
the jovial trio after disembarking, i
“but it was a long lonely siege, and !
even the dogs are glad to get |
home. Captain Rice, skipper of j
the Stanley, reported a very rough j
voyage from Kamachak Bay. where
he picked up the party a week ago,
to Seward. A forced stop of three
or four days had to be made at j
Iliamna until the weather permit
ted the resumption of the journey. j

School Board will meet in regular
