Four cents a word is “some
price" to pay for a news service,
yet that is precisely what Alas
kan publications have to contri
bute for the purpose to keeping
their readers informed of current
happenings,” says the December
Trade Register. "The Trade
Register wonders just how long
some other business institutions
would “sit in the game” if it came
right down to spending real
money for real service. People
who have never been in the north
cannot realize, perhaps, how pre
cious a commodity news is, nor
realize the fearful handicaps un
der which northern publishers
deliver the goods.
Business men should appre
ciate more fully the value of the
local press, whether it be in their
home cities, neighboring towns
or in distant countries like Al
aska. It is all very well to talk
about what “outside is doing for
Alaska bv way of exploitation
and publicity, but the fact re
mains that there wouldn’t be very
much to Alaska or any other
community without a few local
paners to keep alive the spirit of
local pride and enterprise. Con
sidering the numerous nnnortun
ities to complain. Alaskans are
strangely patient and this goes
dongle for Alaska publishers.
Their patience can be attribut
ed to but one thing and that is an
overwhelming faith in their coun
try. Their faith assuredly well
founded, yet Alaskans and those
w'ho deal with Alaska w'ould con
sider just what all hands owe to
the northern publishers,”
There’s one rubber boot

White Boot

You know that when a boot comes in and
simply sweeps the whole country like
* “HIPRESS” has done, it’s GOT to be
SOMETHING UNUSUAL
WTiite Goodrich “HTPRESS” Boots actually wear
longer thin iron or steel 1 You don’t have to half
sole them with leather—they far outwear hob
nailed leather soles. The reason for this unusual service is that
“HIPRESS” are constructed by an entirely new process—fifty years
ahead ot' the old.
Made i f the same tough rubber that goes into Goodrich Auto Tires—welded
together under euormou* pressure INTO ONE SOLID PIECE!
Nothing to come apart—they can’t leak, peel, crack or split! They’re comfort
able, too—shaped to the foot while It’s working, We promise that once you start
wearing White "HIPRESS" you’ll never be satisfied with anything else. And
remember—it has a Red-Line ’rouud the Top,

Aside from the statement that
Alaskan journals pay four cents
per word for news service, which
is slightly in error, the above ar
ticle will doubtless receive the
endorsement of, not only the
northern publishers but also all
others who have given the slight
est consideration to the real value
of the newspaper in the commun
al life of the territory. As the
article suggest there are really
not many who realize that there
wouldn’t be much to Alaska or
anv other community without a
few local papers to keep alive tTTe
spirit of local pride and enter
prise. The references to “local
pride” does not, of course apply
very well to Nome for the reason
that, generally speakine, there
isn't any. There are a few, per
haps. who have some degree of
pride in the town, but the ma
jority have but little real interest
aside from the possibilities it af
fords in enabling them to get an
easy living.
However, that portion of the
statement relative to enterprise,
applies in a considerable degree
even here, where people live in
the doldrums of discontent and
uncertainty. In the matter of fos
tering and encouraging enterprise
the newspaper is a marked force
in the industrial life of this com
munity, just as it is in any other
community, great or small. The
unthinking will doubtless consid
er that the local newspaper really
“cuts no ice,” but a brief glance
at the advertising columns of the
papers is speedily convincing that
the business element at least
grant them due recognition as an
important factor in local enter
prise. In all truth there wouldn’t
be much to the community unless
the newspaper did exercise some
degree of influence
A community that can do with
out a newspaper has something
the matter with it, in a very de
cided sense No matter where
you go, the town without a local
paper will nearly always be found
to be of the non-progressive leth
argic, “moss back” variety. This,
in itself, seems a sufficient assur
ance that the newspaper has some
vital influence on public life. Of
course, a town may boast a hall
dozen papers and still be far from
progressive or enterprising but,
in 7he main, the opposite rule
obtains. The community posses
sing a progressive local paper
usually has a strong tendency to
go ahead along the paths of de
velopment and progress. Wheth
er this is due to the newspaper is,
of course, something of a ques
tion but it can hardly be doubted
that the newspaper is a powerful
factor in fostering and encourag
ing such expression where it al
ready exists. We believe that
this particularly applies to such
comunities as those of Alaska
where the local newspaper is the
sole medium for the prompt dis
semination of information. Here,
perhaps more than in the com
munities of more favored situa
tions, the newspaper can become
if it wills a vigorous force in guid
ing the thought and tendencies
of the people beside doing a great
deal in the line of encouraging
enterprise through calling atten
tion to such avenues of endeavor
as may be open.

BEN NYGREN
DISCUSSES WHITE
WHALING
_ i
^Seattle Times-)
“The white whales of Alaska
are going to fool a lot of persons
next summer. They are the wil
iest animals alive. Persons who
think white whales are easy to
get are going to be left.”
This is the sage opinion oi
Ben Nygren, hunter, trapper,
rnusher, one of the surest and
quickest rifle shots in Alaska,and
who knows so much about the
habits of trout and other game
Ashes that some persons think
there are fins under his shirt.
Nygren is spending his first
winter in Seattle after seventeen
year3 in Alaska. He is probablv
the only white I an in Northwest
Alaska who ever actually caught
a white whale. It took him four
years to learn their habits.
It recently has been discovered
that the skin of the white whals
has considerable value in Europe,
where the process of tanning it
is known, and the oil also is val
uable for use in making high
grade soaps. Companies Have
been formed to establish sta
tions in Alaska.
Nygren, who always kept a big
string of dogs at Nome, began
hunting white whale about eight
years ago. He wanted to cut
down the dog feed bill. He final
ly figured out a method of catch
ing the whale and has captured
ninety and too every summei
since. Nygren brought out a
number of skins with him last
fall.
