FOUR SHELTER CABINS NEEDED
Have you ever been on a trail in the North during
winter? If so it can be understood very readily why the
residents of the Kanatak district recently forward a pe
tition to the Alaska Road Commission in which they ap
pealed for two shelter cabins each on the following
routes: from Egakik to Ugasik; from Ugasik to Kana
tak.
That’s a tremendous country out there and if the peo
ple of that region unite in asking for these shelters, it
can be depended upon they need 'em. A traveler on these
lone trails looks for no more welcome sight at the end of :
a tough day’s “mushing” than a haven for the night and
these shelter cabins, which the A. R. C. are and have been
constructing throughout the remote areas of the Terri
tory for many years, are truly a “god-send” when once
reached.
We haven’t a doubt in the world but what the A. R.
C. will grant their petition within the year.
THE CHAIN STORE PROBLEM
Under the title “Chain Store Growth Arouse Local
Merchants” I he Pathfinder, a paper of national circu
lation published at Washington, D. C., in its April 26 is
sue. devotes its entire first page to an article wherein
tradesmen are up in arms against the new invasion and
seeks laws to protect them from such competition.
. Some months ago the Gateway came out editorially
taking the same stand as does the Pathfinder with the
exception the Pathfinder has extracts and statistics to
prove their points whereas the Gateway had none but
dealt in generalities and personal observations. It might
not be amiss to state at this time that the Gateway was
severely critisized for its stand; taken to task by a num
ber of citizens who had many sarcastic things to say.
Our opinion, however, on the chain store, has not chang
ed.
In part the Pathfinder says:
Of late a. very noticeable opposition to chain stores
hits been rapidly developing. The “worm” is evidentlv
turning.. .. Independent merchants have been seek
ing legislative aid and in some states obtaining it
Five states have already aimed special taxes against
the chain stores.If the chain store reaches out and
takes the profit from local communities, the life blood 1
also will be taken. Sporatic efforts have been made to
bring the matter up in Congress. A House committee
went so far as to favorably report a bill.The growth
of the so-called chain store “octopus” has been rapid'
and enormous. There are now 125,000 units in various
chains.
THE PRISON PROBLEM
Ohio’s recent tragedy, in which more than 320 pris
oners were burned to death, brings forcibly to public no
lce once more the acute situation which overcrowding
ot American prisons has brought about.
, JiVJris°n was built in 1890 t0 hoilse !,500 convicts,
yet 4,300 were confined there.
Alaskans will recall reading only a few days ago
Attorney General Mitchell’s warning against further
congestion of the Federal prison population, and it ap
pears that a condition of overcrowding is general, both
in jails and penitentiaries, throughout the country.'
Did you ever stop to think that the islands of West
ward Alaska are in the direct line of the Japanese Cur
rent. You should worry about their climate
I Alonzo Cope who is recognized as
one of Alaska’s premier plane
> mechanics and to whom practi- I
cally every aviator in the Terri
tory will “doff the lid” in this j
respect, will be an outbound pas
j senger on the S. S. Alaska on what
Cope terms will be a review of the i
States in collection with aviation. !
Cope, who is with the Alaska Air
ways, is going out primarily, to
visit his mother at Oklahoma City
and after that, he heads East.
He plans to be absent for about j
three months and is his first trip
out in three years. Aside from be- !
ing an expert mechanic this chap
bears the title of being one of the
most likeable fellows in Alaska.
Mrs.J. P. Hannon, former resi
dent of Seward and daughter of Dr. j
and Mrs- Romig, arrived in Seward j
last evening from her home at An
chorage, accompanied by daughters |
Mollie and Patsy, enroute to the j
East.
Deputy U. S. Marshal E. H. Boy- j
er of Kodiak, arrived today from 1
Valdez on the S. S. Alaska and goes j
to Kodiak on the S. S. Starr to- j
night.
