PRAISE FOR THE SIGNAL CORPS
In a letter to Washington, I). C., a portion of which
was published in the September issue of the U. S. Army
Recruiting News, Ralph Lomen of Nome, points out
some nice things the army does besides fight.
In part the article says:
The radio station established by the Signal Corps, U. S. Army,
during August of this year at Teller, Alaska, by direction of the Sec
retary of War has already rendered substantial aid to navigation in
that remote corner of the world eppears evident by the recent re
ceipt of a letter from Mr. Ralph Lomen, President of the Lomen Rein
deer Corporation of Nome.
The letter of Mr. Lomen advised the Chief Signal Officer that
the “Silver Wave,” a motor ship owned by his firm, was saved from
possible disaster recently upon arrival in Teller. The Signal Corps
advised the “Silver Wave” that a storm was in progress at Nome
which made it impossible to discharge cargo or carry passengers from
vessels in the roadstead to the beach.
“This warning,” read a part of Mr. Lomen's letter, “is cited as
an illustration of the advantage of communication. Last year when
the “Silver Wave” ran on to the beach after leaving Teller, it was
necessary to send a member of the crew more than 50 miles to reach
a telephone to announce her predicament. The Teller wireless sta
tion will serve the people of the Port Clarence district and will do
much toward the advancement, comfort and prosperity of the people
living there.”
SO THIS IS THE DAY!
This is Alaska day, today, but somehow we can
not get so very enthused over it. In certain places loud
gusts of oratory will be let loose extolling the future of
this bureau-ridden plaything of Washington politi
cians. We do not wonder Alaska is well up in the booze
consumption ranks as compiled by the Assc. against
the Prohibition Amendmet; the “bull” peddled annually
to the pioneers of this Territory, would drive any one
to drink, bar none.
Maybe so some other day we might w^ax poetic over
the arrival of Alaska Day but not today brother, not
today. You hear enough bunk without us shooting in
some more.
A record number of seals were taken in Alaska
this year; wrhich might cause a slump in the demand for
rabbit skins.
If Russia and China really fight our money goes
on Japan.
What will the new tariff do toward protecting our
infant bootleg industry?
Chiese w^omen are said to be growing ashamed of
bound feet. Occidental sisters have been ashamed of
covered knees for some time.

“Upon mv arrival home, after
ja wonderful vacation in your
country, I found your newspaper
of August 13 giving an account
of the wonderful country I saw,

be visited by scores of summer
visitors. Hoping to be in Alaska
again, best wishes to the good
