THE ACTUATING IDEAL
Seward is very fortunate in many ways but most
ly so in having road building officials who carry ideals
in the same kit with their instruments and maps. These
men are not just building roads for careless motorists
who try to burn the right of way or trucks that pound
ponderously. They are building to a man-made ideal,
hoping in human fashion to prepare an approach to the
ideals of Nature. They do not think so much of the val
ue of their work in dollars and cents—-they wonder if
they can awaken in hearts to come a measure of the
soul exaltation they feel as they open the hidden beaut
ies of Alaska’s wild, glamorous hinterland.
FUND EXHAUSTED
The almost total lack of fish all along the coast
and around adjacent islands to the Westward,, togeth
er with the diminshed supply of fur-bearing animals,
is evidence that much privation and possible suffering
make take place this winter among the inhabitants.
The last legislature made the following appro
priations:
For dependent children, i n c luding alio wances to
mothers and for other incidental expenses, .. $55,000
For relief of destitution .$15,000
For further relief of the needy and indigent .$40,000
The money for these worthy purposes has been
exhausted for some months past, it is said. Several
months will pass before another legislature convenes.
U. S. Commissioners are instructed not to apply
for relief of the needy and indigent or for depend
ant children except in the most urgent cases.
What constitutes an urgent case? It would seem
that where a person has nothing to eat and there is
no one able or willing to feed him, and where a child
has no one who will take it into his care and custody
and give it nourishment, clothing and an education,
the case is an urgent one.
if Alaska’s financial condition is so healthy—near
ly a million dollars balance at the last fiscal year—the
forthcoming legislature should provide a more, liberal
appropriation for the ensuing two years. There is no
reason why a single person in the Territory of Alas
ka, coming under the above classification, should suf
fer in any way longer than the time required to learn
of the case.
THIS GOLD HUNGER
They say the world is gold hungry because all the
nations are going on a gold standard, and there isn’t
enough to go around. The Rand of South Africa which
has already produced five billions in gold is not so
strong as she used to be. Silver along with copper, lead
and other base metals that have been commanding big
money since the war are down to zero. Gold is the only
metal right now that has not, does not and never will
waver from the good old price of $20 per ounce.
They say that this gold hunger is driving ‘em out
again into the hills of the West of the United States
and the Far North of Canada. They are taking it thru
the air in Canada and they are shooting hop into the
veins of some of the antiquated burros of Nevada, Ariz
ona and California.
Is it gold they want? Well by the Great Horn
Spoon! Why in h—don’t they come up here to Alaska?
We’re turning out gold by the ton in Fairbanks and
Nome and getting pailsful from Iditarod, Kuskokwim,
Koyukuk, Cache Creek, Willow Creek, Crow Creek,
Valdez Creek, Valdez district, Moose Pass, Nuka Bay,—
Gosh knows how many places. Say if its gold they want,
lead 4em to Alaska.
Prone pedestrians might also be characterized as
a bumper crop.
