“THE HARPOON.”
"The Harpoon” is the new exchange
which arrived in the Journal office
during the week. It took Uncle Sam
three months and several days to
transport “The Harpoon” from Point
Barrow, Alaska, to San Francisco,
California. Still, when taking in
to consideration the fact that Point
Barrow is unapproachable for the
greater part of the year except by the
overland (dog team) route, it will be
admitted that the two-cent stamp
which paid for "The Harpoon’s” jour
ney rendered excellent service. Our
Point Barrow exchange is publish
. ed by the crew of the schooner
“Transit” which was wrecked in the
Arctic on August 25 of last year. The
price per copy is 50 cents, to those
who can afford to pay in cash or
trade; such as butter, eggs, milk, etc.
The editor also announces that he
cannot hire collectors because the en
tire male population of the city are
trapping, wherefore it is necessary
to pay C. O. D. When the sun be
gins to shine at Point Barrow—so you
can notice it—the shipwrecked ma
rines hope to return to civilization.
In the meantime they are being hous
ed and fed by the Cape Smyth Trad
ing and Whaling Company, which
concern has a contract with the Un
ited states government to take care
of all sailors shipwrecked in the
Arctic. Here’s wishing them an ear
ly return.—Coast Seaman’s Journal.
The erosion of the river bank above
Fairbanks, where the Tanana seems
bent upon leaving its present chan
nel anil forcing ils way down the
slough is a source of annual alarm
to those residents of the city who
realize the danger that would attend
such a change in the course of the
river. Recent arrivals from up the
river are authority for the statement
that the two streams are now sep
arated by less than thirty feel and
that there is the probability that the
bank will be worn through before the
end of another season. What will
happen when the remaining bank is
eaten away is a matter of specula
tion. It may prove disastrous to
Fairbanks, and it may mean nothing
more than any one of the several
openings at the head of the slough
where the waters of the Tanana enter
in times of freshet. If real danger
does exist, the people of Fairbanks
should be apprised of the fact and
steps taken to divert the waters of
the Tanana at the point of danger.
Someone competent to size up the
situation should be sent up the river
without delay. It would not cost a
great deal to investigate, and it would
be money well invested, regardless
of the nature of’ the report. If it is
found that no danger exists, the minds
of Fairbanksans at least will be re
lieved.—Fairbanks. Times.
ASK HALF MILLION
FOR PLAY GROUNDS
; j
CLEVELAND, 0., May 12.—A big
light is on in Cleveland for a half
million ddllars to build playgrounds
for idle youngsters. Mayor Newton
D. Baker, city councilmen, the Cham
ber of Commerce, and the City School
Board today were on record to fight
shoulder to shoulder to swing a
$500,000 playground bond issue to be
submitted to the voters shortly after
July 1. The city already has 34
playgrounds, 20 of which are under
supervision of the school board.
“We need a hundred more and
we are going to fight for a playground
within four blocks of every young
ster in Cleveland,” School Play Di
rector ePtdrson ’announced today!.
Peterson recently completed a school
ground survey. He reported the
following conditions: Over 41 per
cent of Cleveland children are idle
in their leisure time. They have no
place to play. Fifty-one per cent
of these are forced to play in the
streets when they play at all.
“These conditions must not last,”
• ■ r i
declared Peterson. Advocates of more
playgrounds call themselves city rec
reationists. They are an organized
society behind the movement.
