REGARDING GOVERNMENT PULP MILLS
Secretary Houston, of the department of agriculture,
who is advocating the establishment of government pulp
mills in Alaska, should have his special, specific and par
ticular attention called to the advantages of Seward in,
that regard, .lust six miles out the government railroad
is a site for a pulp mill apparently created by nature for
that express purpose. It is at the juncture of two creeks,
reached bv a network of other tributary creeks, all of
which tap spruce belts of vast extent. Every stick of the
required timber could be easily floated to the very doors
of the mill SO located, and thus a large share of the cost
of raw material be eliminated. A 300-yard spur of the
railroad would bring the cars to the door to bear away
the finished product to the terminal docks at Sewatd.
W RONGS AND THINGS
There's a little newspaper clown in Southeastern Al-j
aska whose journalistic “beats” are getting on our nerves.
The natural impulse*, of course, is to jump on its editor and]
berate him soundly; that being the customary impulse ofi
human nature towards those whose superior capacity or
industry has bested us in some cherished project. But]
having had experience in this jumping on and lierating
stuff, also with trouble, we shall do no more to him and his
paper than print this intimation of our disapproval, and1
a brief recapitulation of the wrongs we have borne:
To-wit: videlicet, that-is-to-say, or whatever the term
is the lawyers use when they expect to lie a little and if'
caught pass the* buck and shitt responsibility, to-wit:
Early in March we prepared an extended story descrip
tive generally and in detail of the lawsuit in Justice White
head's court in Seattle, by which the Sandberg Artificial j
IAmb company, filed a lien against the metal attachments!
'n and upon the wooden leg of Frederick Brisbois. Be
fore we could get the* story in ty|)e a mail arrived with that
little Southeastern paper, a fourth of the editorial page
being covered with the story of Sandl)erg vs. Brisbois—
and. infinitely better written than we could have done.
That was larceny No. 1.
A hit later we attempted an analytical review ot
Ananda Coomeraswamy s flattering criticism of the
poetry of Rabindranath Tagore, the Nobel prizeman, tak
ing as our text the well known lines:
The poor benighted Hindu,
He does the best he kin do,
He wears no clothes lieneath the nose,
Iiut simply lets his skin do.”
That Southeastern Alaska pirate had a story the
same week ridiculing Tagore worshipers and designat
ing them as faddists and pure shams—our story only inti
mated as much. Larceny No. 2.
Now comes the culminating atrocity of all. In the
current issue of his paper appears a half-column story of
the South Dakota legislative act for the protection of the
vermiform appendix; a subject we had adopted with al
most profane joy as our very own private, particular, per
sonal, exclusive treasure, to be elucidated and elaborated
and glorified when our ind« 'ence would permit. I
His appendix story is a scream; it is also literature;
Put it is merely unwarranted assumption to say that the
surgeons there have been whittling away some of the best j
and most ”e spec table append ic in the state, and gettingj
paid for it. and getting by with it; as is also unwarranted j
the pretense that the extraction of good, marketable ap-j

pendices has become a flourishing industry, and that many
respectable citizens have been needlessly deprived ol ap
pendices it had taken them a lifetime to grow. All this
may be true in point of fact, but it is incompetent, im
material and not relevant to the consideration of the ap
eason
able fee.
The point of the law is, that the surgeon must first
justify the extirpation of the appendix before proceeding
with the secondary operation on the patient’s purse for
the removal of his money. This may be done only by
sending the appendix to the state laboratory. If the
laboratory people find the appendix is out of style and its
removal was for the l>est interests of the citizen, the sur
geon may then proceed to take away the patient’s assets;
but if for any reason the appendix should have been left
in the citizen’s interior, then there’s nothing to pay to the
village cut-up. This was larcency No. 'i.
We await the weekly arrival of that little South
eastern Alaska newspaper with a consuming curiosity to
know upon what matter, and how badly, he has beaten us
in his latest issue.,
