SEWARD, ALASKA. MONDAY, MAY 10, 1913.
How helpless a great nation like the l nited States might be is illustrated
by the ending of the Oriental crisis and by the sinking of ships carrying
American citizens. Even though two hundred citizens of America are drown- j
ed all that the l nited States government can do is to enter a protest, and j
even though China is brought to the lowest depts of humiliation the l nited i
States government can—just oiler another protest. That is all. President
Wilson or Secretary Bryan will send a "strong” note in one case and “will
feel incensed" in another, or something like that will be published in the
newspapers, there will he some "notes” forwarded to lokio or Berlin and;
in them will be some fine academic phrases. But Japan or Britain or Germany
can go on indefinitely ignoring YY ashington because the l nited States is noth-;
lug but big. She is just like a huge hut unskilled pugilist so far as fighting
is concerned. YVithout a great armv and navy she is nothing better than a
great human body without arms.
The bunch going back to Nome on the Corwin all seem to be confident
that the old camp has still many good years before it. Of course no one ex*.
pects ever again any thing like the good old days in the placer fields although
Seward peninsula still has lot* of territory to be heard from. \Nhat may
yet make the Second division great, however, is rock mining of,
various kinds. The country around Nome carries a greater variety of miner-j
als than any other part of Alaska. Some day this wealth may be exploited
and the shore of Bering sea may become a busier scene than ever. It is
hoped for. Everyone who knows Nome thinks nothing too good for it and
its people.
.—— -.—.— in-.....
Those stories appearing now in the papers outside which say that Presi
dent Wilson is being criticised for not buying the Copper River road instead
of the Alaska Northern are really childish. One of those "Washington dis
patches". after making such a statement, goes on to show how the com
mission will have about eight million dollars left after the building of the
trunk line from Seward and how the Copper River road may yet be purchased
for that amount. In other words the Copper River boosters want President
Wilson to see that he can still escape criticism by coming across. What a
brilliant piece of diplomacy it is.
CAPTAIN AANEVIK
TO HI NT WALRUS.
Captain 0. A. Anncvik is now
aboard the Corwin and will lead the
walrus hunting expeditions this sum
mer. He was formerly captain of the
noted ice breaking vessel Kit that
made so many remarkable trips
through the ice in the Arctic. The
-1
idea in catching walrus is to can the
meat which is said to be very appetiz
ing and nutritious. While in the Arctic
the Corwin will keep a lookout for
Stefanson the lost explorer, who,
Captain Annevik thinks, is with the
blonde Eskimos if he is alive at all.
