DOES COURTESY PAY?
In an illuminating article in the Nation’s Business
for October, Carl Goerch, publisher of the Washing
ton, N. C., Progress, has something pertinent to say
about “How to Make Your Town Grow.” He starts
out thusly:
“Give me the whole-hearted, sincere cooperation of
about 200 of its citizens and I’ll guarantee to make any
average small town one of the most talked of and most
popular places in the United States. And it won’t cost
anybody a penny, either. Not a single, solitary cent.”
His rules are very simple. He says:
“The first thing to do is to speak to every stranger
you see in town, and the second is to be on the lookout
for any service you might be able to render him.” That
is the whole formula.
“Practically every town in the country has one
or more visitors every day,” he continues. “No one ap
preciates courtesy more than a man who is away from
home and among strangers. You probably know how
it is from personal experience. The act of any individ
ual citizen of a town often causes a stranger to form
a certain impression of the community as a whole.
“Courtesy will do more to help build up a town
than all the manufacturing sites, transportation facil
ities, salubrious climatic conditions, or any other re
sources you may mention. It doesn’t cost anything, and
that may be why so many folks ignore it as a valuable
asset.”
IT PAYS
The U. S. Biological Survey is doing good work in
Alaska. Their experiments in domestication and cross
breeding of wild stock are giving results. The possibili
ties seem enormous. The carideer which is a cross be
tween a caribou and a reindeer proves to be a fine an- j
imal with an added weight of 25 to 50 pounds for the
carideer over his reindeer mother.
Mountain sheep are being crossed with domestic
sheep. It was remarked recently by an experienced
stock man that the best sheep he had ever seen were
being raised on the far Aleutians. These Alaska ani
mals bred with the natives of the high mountains, the
mountain sheep, develop a fine flavor of lamb chops
and mutton.
Ground squirrels are considered a pest Outside
where they eat holes in irrigation ditches and dams.
Up here they become valuable assets because of their
meat for fox feed and their pelts for fur coats. The
buffalo introduced in the Interior are doing fine. Bea
ver and muskrat, introduced to new areas take to the
country at once. The recently imported musk ox will
thrive and multiply.
Plants, animals, game birds are among the things
that the Biological Survey is now observing. It is pos
sible that before they get through we will have a
whole new race of animals and verdure in Alaska.
PUT THEM IN THE FRONT LINE
There isn’t a doughboy living today who has any
desire to go back to the trenches. He’s fed up. He
doesn’t wish to see again a buddy blown into bloody
oblivion.
Now that Mussolini is rattling the sabre in Italy
and Hitler is sounding the call to arms in Germany, he
begins to wonder if the world is going crazy again.
Only crazy men start that kind of stuff. He is of the
opinion that these political demigods and munitions
capitalists who would start another war should be the
first called in the draft and should be first ordered to j
the firing line. In that event, he thinks, there won’t be
any more war.
BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW
TROUT AWE PICTURE
IT LOCAL HOTEL:
I
| There will be many a visitor to
Seward at the Van Gilder Hotel
who will stand in wonder before
the magnificent rainbow trout,
now to be seen here, and gasp in
asonishment, “There ain’t no such
animal.” Joe Badger, manager of
the hotel has just received the
beautiful specimen back from the
Jonas Bros., nationally known
taxidermists of Denver, Colorado,
and is now arranging to hang the
exhibit in the lobby
This extraordinary rainbow
beauty was caught last summer in
the famed Russian river, by Mr.
“Binks” Seifert, of the Bureau of I
Publ'C Roads. It is 33 inches lone ;
and is conceded to be the biggest j
'h of b s sown*-*" o~-.* - ” i
these parts. Sportsmen who know ;
something about rainbows, declare ;
it is probably a record fish any- :
where.
Spociman is mounted on water- j
painted back ground as though it I
was just in the act of making a i
strike. It is a real action picture, j
Friends of Joe Badger are compli- !
menting him o nhis enterprise in ;
going to the trouble and expense :
of getting the specimen mounted.
It will be a splendid advertisement |
for this section as any sportsman 1
who sees it for the first time will
immediately want to go fishing in
Russian river to learn if there are
any of his brothers still swimming
there.
James Galen, Cordova business!
man and head of the McKinley
Park Transportation Company,
arrived Saturday from Cordova j
enroute to Fairbanks for the an
nual meeting of the Park firm, j
Capt. A. E. Lathrop, coal mine
and theater owner, passed thru
Seward Sunday on his way to i
the Interior.
SEASON CLOSES
Halibut schooners are now i
scurrying homeward to Seattle j
and Ketchikan with their last;
catches from the Portlock and |
Albatross banks of the West
ward area. The season which j
closed November 15, has not
been a good one generally be- j
cause of poor catches and poor j
prices. This season sawT perhaps
more far Westward fishing than
in the past. A considerable quan
tity of halibut was bought by
the Donna Lane at Unalaska in
addition to her regular cargo of
herring.
