FORTUNE IN ALASKA.
1
I.el any mail who has spent,
let us say, a dozen years in Alas
ka, look hack and ask himself il
he could not have money if tie
had only applied himself In mak
ing it.
Meet any man in the street, and i
ask him if, after several years in j
Alaska, he has made nothing, j
That man will have pride enough
to answer that he could have
made it if li“ so desired. Let his
answer be otherwise and lie marks
himself down a week incompetent.
As a rule tin*' men who choose
a frontier country like Alaska as
the field of their labor are men
gifted with courage and I he de
sire to get away from I lie hope
less drudging of large popula
tion centers. They are nien who
are willing In hew mil a road for
themselves.
Of course, into trout ler coun
tries from time lo time men find
their way from slums and sim
ilar places and become either a
charge on the citizens or eke a
precarious existence by methods
borrowed from their former sur
roundings. But such are a very
small minority and can he re
garded as a negligible quantity
when dealing for instance with
Alaskans as a whole.
The real Alaskan makes good
rnona/y but lie does not always
keep it. A Chinaman could do
the same, no doubt, for the real
difficulty comes in trying to slick
on to the coin. Bui, great Scroll,
what a good time lie has. Why,
he hardly even gets time In know
he is broke.
Even the men wlm work for
wages with a pick and shovel are
-hardly happy till they spend what
they gel either in prospecting or
having a good lime. Some of
them, more power to therm, in one
summer season make more than
many hank cashiers outside could
make in a year, yet hank cash
iers arc* regarded, poor devils,
as capitalists themselves.
This Alaska is certainly a hor- -
rible country for a poor man. No
wonder we whine against the* con
ditions when we blow in more
than enough to give us a lead
ing place in the highest social
circles of some place like* Puyal
lup. Wc* certainly do need aid.
Or. is it a guardian—Nome* Nug

EDITORIAL NOTES.
After an unsuccessful leap year
Oregon women are in favor of
imposing a tax on bachelors.
The loss of the mail ami pas
senger traffic makes the galled
jade of the Alaskan as sore as a
two-week old boil.
Of all those who enjoy the
Nome dog races probably none
get a greater joy out of the sport
than the dogs themselves.
No doubt the light house hoard
shutdown two lights leading in
to Orea Inlet owing to the drop
ping off of travel to thal port.'
The publisher who complains
at the scarcity of good fiction is
not paying the closest attention to
t he war news from I he Balkans.
• > i - .. ■ i.j: .
.There may. not,, he much fan'
fare at the time.the national ad
ministration changes. Likewise
there will be but few tears shed;
It takes Thomas W. Lawson
some twenty pages in a maga
zine in telling ways to stop stock
gambling. The way lo stop is to
stop.
.It has about reached the time
of the year when something be
sides the ^ound of talk
come from Ihe region of the Bal
kans.
Anyway, hubby can’t carry
abound a 11-pound package in his
pocket for a week and swear to
his wife that he mailed il prompt
ly that morning.
II has now leaked out that the
inaugural ball was called off for
fear loo many Washingtonians
would be inclined lo dance tine
lame duck waddle.
The Washington stale legisla
ture convened :on January 15tli
and already the three parties are
each supporting those measures
the others do not want.
When Col. Bryan gets up and
tells Ihe Democratic party what
to do, some one on the back seat
rises and moves Dial iIn* enact
ing' clause be stricken mil.
There can be no doubt but Dm1
(lie editor of the Cordova Alas
kan is ihe best judge in this por
tion of Alaska of what is lit for
beasts. Kvery man to bis,calling.
The Cordova sheet says "travel
will be resumed in three nr four
days.” Tile superintendent of the
road says that thirty rotaries
could not have kept il open un
der existing conditions.
Nothing more pathetic was ev
er witnessed in Washington than
the unfortunate steel corporal ion
pleading with Ihe House commit
tee foi' the retention of duty on]
steel in order I hat the infant in- ]
duslry might survive.
William Wilson, who returned j
nun the outside on the North- i
western, stales that Valdez wore j
as prosperous an appearance as
any cily on tin*' coast, not ex
cepting Juneau. We can only
hope that every Alaska town is as
prosperous and more so if that is
possible.
Senator Warren, of Wyoming,
is one of the last of the old
school politicians to attempt lo
force bis re-election to the Sen
ate by the old-fashioned rough
shod methods. Should he succeed;
lie is apt to find himself a mem
ber of a body, where his style
>f brand is not in fashion.

j
It i- a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic, j
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we’re right.
If'you drink beer»you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its'unquestionable high quality, j
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products.
