CHANCE FOR DEAD ONES
The Alaskan engineering commission is doing its
share toward developing this part of Alaska, and the
question now before the house is: “are you doing your
part in upbuilding Seward and the surrounding com
munity.?”
Do you own your own home, or are you working to
ward that goal? • '
If you do not are your reasons for renting valid
reasons?
Are you in any way trying to improve your own con
dition and your surroundings?
Do you boost, criticize or knock?
No comment is necessary about boosters vs. knock
ers. but if you are a critic is your criticism destructive or
constructive?
Is the limit of your ambition an ability to play a good
hand at solo, look wise and avoid work?
The answers to these questions will show to your in
ner self whether or not you are a live one or a dead one.
Dead ones, who desire to get on the band wagon but
are unable to think ot a way might take this hunch. Look
up a little piece of ground where the sun shines longest,
and plant a few potatoes this spring.
WE SHALL HAVE TO WATCH OUT
Some of these fine days, while Alaskans are not look
ing. the national congress will pass a hill providing lor the

Modern Conveniences Well Lighted and Heated
leasing of all mineral-bearing lands within this big do
main. There are enough of those conservation cranks in
the congress to push this measure through, unless Alas
kans make a fight as opposed to it. Recent copies of
Washington newspapers tell of the activities of those who
are urging the government-control of all mineral in the
public domain. Should such a bill pass the coi>gress, it
would mean that a prospector would have to get a lease
on a prospect found by himself before he could enjoy its
benefits. It would appear that the prospector, who takes
the initiative in the opening of the frontiers of a country,
is subject to enough hardships and privations, in fighting
the big elements in nature, without inflicting him with
government red tape before he gains possession of that he
has labored so hard to find.
We shall have more to say on this subject—to our
mind one of the most important that confronts Alaska—
in the near future, when we have opportunity to get ac
curate information, which is coming from the national
capital.
This comment at this time is for the purpose of put
ting Alaskans on their guard, in opposition to this pro
nosed leasing of the mineral and metal wealth of the
territory.—(Anchorage Times.)

THE TEST OF A GENTLEMAN
-- —
“The gentleman will betray himself as quickly at any'
other occupation as when driving a car,” says the Hous
i ton Post. “But the man who shows as much consideration
for the pedestrian on the street, for the driver of a wagon, j
or for the motorist in the other car, as he does for the
young lady beside him, will not for long conceal the fact he;
is one of that constantly lessening number who may be
called gentlemen.”
A rather long and somewhat complicated sentence to
say that the test of a gentleman is the consideration I
shown to other people. There is.no other test. It mat-;
ters not how exalted one’s ancestors; it matters not how
well educated he may be; it matters not how graced he is
in art or literature, if he lacks consideration for other j
people—for all people—he is not a gentleman.
; So it all resolves itself into one word, “kindness.”.
| The kindly man is a gentleman-. The fellow who is un
kindly is not a gentleman. That is all there is to it—
I whether one is driving a car or sweeping a street.—

THE PLACE WHERE MEN OUTFIT
BACONIZED
SALMON IS
NEW SCHEME
The Baconized Alaska Salmon com
pany is the name of a new corpora
tion which filed its papers with the
clerk of the court in Juneau recently |
with a capital of three hundred thou
sand dollars. The incorporators are
Floyd Hampton, F. M. German and
Albert Martin and the capital is made
up of three hundred thousand shares
at a par value of one dollar each.
None of the stock is for sale.
The company has a new process of
preserving the salmon which is very
interesting. It will be sugar-cured
dried and baconized. It will be wrap
ped in paper, to give a short descrip
tion of the intention of the incorpor
ators and will be ready for use at any
time after treatment. Hampton;
points out that fish is now selling in
the interior of the states, prticularly
in states like Arizona, at a fabulous
price, that the new process, which has j
been patented, is superior to, and
cheaper than other methods and he
has absolute confidence that a big in
dustry will spring from the incorpora
tion.
