NOME, ALASKA, AUGUST 25, 1916.
Tllr ;u rival of tho Deutschland at
her home poll after twice crossing the
wide Atlantic is a more remarkable
event in human affairs than most of
us are aware. Not that the voyage
was, by itself, a particularly remark
able feat except in the degree that it
was accomplished under unusual con
ditions. Much smaller and frailer
craft have repeated crossed the A t lull -
tie, facing difficulties as great or
greater than those of the Deutschland,]
and at rived at their destination.
The notable feature of the trip of
the German vessel is that it marks,
in a great degree, the realization of
an age long human dream.
Since long before the day when
■lules Verne penned the famous tale
in which tie so accurately forecasted
the submarine of today, men have
dreamed of, the day when human kind
would roam at will beneath the wide
spread reaches of ocean. In fancy
they have looked forward to a far off
time in which strange, fantastic craft
freighted with human beings would
travel the cool, translucent depths of
ocean, exploring the hidden teaches
and voyaging hither and you, as fancy
listed, heading not tin- swelling surge
or the storiii king's breath. Since man
first launched his tiny shallop on the
oceans' crest, he has doubtless dream
ed this dream. The wierd tale of
the famous master romancist was
merely the elaboration of a thought
that has lived in the mind of mankind
through uncounted ages.
And now that age long dream is no
longer a dream. That it has at lust
become a reality is well illustrated in
, the voyage of the Deutschland. Hu
man beings have journeyed across one
of l he widest expanses of earth wa
ters in a craft which can safely sink
beneath the rushing wave and travel
east or west, as desire may dictate.
The flrst underwater voyage of a
submarine, itself one of the world’s
most notable feats, was merely the be
ginning of tin realization of this old
dream in that it demonstrated that
that the dream was more than a dream
—that it was possible. But, it has
remained for the Deutschland and its
nervy crew to fully disclose that it
has become a reality, by crossing the
Atlantic. It is true that the dream
is not yet fully realized, in the degree
that ttie under water range of the sub
marine is still limited.
-Man is still hindered in his desire
to explore the oceans' depths or roam
beneath its billowy expanse unfetter
ed by wind and surge. The day will,
doubtless, never come that man may
explore tin* uttermost recesses or re
main more than a comparatively brief
time beneath the wave. Some fea
tures of the dream are physically im
possible but as far as the main idea
is concerned, it has been fully real
ized in the memorable trip of (he Ger
man vessel. The voyage of the Deut
schland has shown that man may cross
the widest oceans with complete ubil
iity to sink or float as he wills and
that a complete under water voyage
across the Atlantic is not by any
means an impossibility.

! TIME TO THINK
V. nett the prohibition question was
put up the state ol Washington 't v is
impossible to aiake the business tu- r
of the state, especially the llqttui
dealers, themselves, believe that pro
hibition could possibly be put upot
Washington—thut state never had
been "dry," consequently it nevei
could be; the barkeep laid been sell
ing booze all ins life; consequently
you could not convince him that lie
would ever be denied the right to sell
malt or spirituous beverages in the
state of Washington. For the senti
ment of the thing and for their re
luctance to say a word or do a public
act in opposition to the work of the
women and some of the ministers, pro
hibition was not openly or by com
plete organization fought in Washing
ton. The breweries and tlie liquor
men increased their advertising in the
local papers, more for prevention of
those papers, openly assisting prohibi
tion than for work against it. The
newspapers took little part in the tight,
not caring to oppose generally the
proposition and having no desire to
support it. The business men and the
liquor interests held a mammoth
"closed" meeting in Seattle one night
to consider the proposition eonfrent
ing them, and ii was ihe general sense
of the meeting that the tiling was .1
Joke—that prohibition could never
carry In Washington and that there
Was no need of fighting the theorists
and visionaries who believed they
could make tile state "dry." George
Butler, fornn rly of Fairbanks, stood
up in the meeting and told those men
that, let any crazy man stump the
streets of Seattle with any crazy idea !
that lbs crazed mind might evolve, !
continue to agitate for his idea and
I be all the time unopposed by those
vitally interested in seeing that no
craziness creep Into the system of
things, and it is only a question of
ime until (hut man and his idea have
1 following, and that it is possible for
such following to, unopposed, reach a
strength which is sufficient to put lhat
crazy idea to work there. Anil, the
liquor men and the business men of
Seattle laughed George to scorn. The
result was prohibition in Washington.
Washington, like Alaska, was never
ntended to lie "dry." Their popula
tions anil business interests as well as
.heir civic interests, are against pro
hibition. Yet, they are "dry” in Wasti
ng! on, because the people did not ap
preciate the danger and tight for their
own best interests. They are sorry
■low. and Ihe newspapers and tile min -
sters of tiic local churches are fight
ing the condition which exists because
hey would not tigid ilye danger when
t threatened. Those same business
men in February, by committee, wait
’d noon George nutlet am asket hin
if he would not take charge of the
■cork of replacing Washington in the
wet ranks, and he told them that,
he could not he induced to do so,
asdy Iter-, Matthews’ Seattle’s most
popular minister, from the pulpit
scores prohibition as it is working in
'eattie and as a workable civic propo
sition (Cardinal Gibbons and many
•ther noted divines also openly op
>ose prohibition upon any and every
iccasion.) The iiusiness men of Soat
le found out that just what was told
-hem would happen, did happen, with
he coming of prohibition. They found
mi that the reduced revenues must be
unde up, and by themselves, and they
re not doing it, The city is heavily
mortgaged and is jumping sideways
| money to keep going on. Reduced
1 \ cnucs mean reduced (laying pow
r, in every town and always. It
mlJ not be otherwise. Also, apathy
1 lie neglect to do protective work
n time spells ruin or less in any
mp. Advt.

LONE PROSPECTOR
BITTEN BY BEAR
A. It. Busch, a prospector, was bad
ly bitten liy a huge brown hear about
right miles from Simpson's roadhouse,
1 on the Valdez - Fairbanks road, and is
j now ; \ II,e SI. Klin:; hotel in this city,
| slowly recovering from his yvounds,
j says the Valdez Miner of July 23.
Busch hud been prospecting in the
Talkectna river country and was on
flit- way to Valdez for supplies. He
iraviad alone and was without weap
ons. When within about eight miles
of Hi ■ roadhouse on the evening of
July S, he suddenly came upon a
large brown bear coming toyvard him
in llie trail. So sudden yvas the meet
ing that neither had time to turn
aside. The bear attacked Busch, bit
ing him through the left leg several
| times, and twisting ins knee severely.
Busch beat the bear over the nose
with a stick he yvas carrying until he
let go and turned .may. After going
a short dlstnnci the hear turned and
again charged his victim, but was
scared away bv Busch's shouts. Busch
I attempted to get to his feet, but yvas
unable to stand. With his hunting;
I knife he managed to fashion a pair
of crude crutches from tyvo small!
willow forks, and with these io as
sist him started foi the roadhouse.
It took hint tyvent.v hours to cover!
the eight miles, and he yvas complete
ly exhausted when he reached his des
tination After staying at the road
house for several days lie came to
town in one of the stages. Tile yvounds
made by the bear's teeth are entirely
through the calf of the leg. and are I
large enough to suck a finger through. j
