FOOD FOR THOUGHT. j
At present Alaska is experiencing a “run sheep run”
game. Many have gone to the states, others have followed
and more are going. The majority of those who have gone
are those who have enlisted in the war service. Otheis uic
going because they fancy they can better themselves in
the matter of wages. The latter class seem to center their
hopes around the shipbuilding industry on the Pacific
Coast, for that is practially the only industry that has a
boom.
But have those going out throught of the time when
the government will say: “We have enough ships now,
shut down the plants?"
Do you realize that the United States government is
launching a ship at the rate of one each day, seven days of
the week?
Do you realize that these ships, or that is at least sixty
per cent of them, are larger than those having been sunk
by submarines, by striking mines, or other war causes?
Do you realize that other countries are building ships,
not as fast as the United States, but at a good rate?
Do you realize that the niunlier of new ships already
launched has almost reached the total of the number of
ships that have gone down for various war reasons.
Suppose then, that on. the' first of August or the first
of September, the government would say: “Shut down the
planrs?”
What would become of this great industry that has
grown like a mushroon. almost in a night? What would be'
come of those employed? Do you realize that while the
wages have been good that the living has also been good in
fact high wages and high living have gone hand in hand
There are many from all parts of Alaska now in the
stat* s, making good wages, w ho cannot put by enough, on
account of high cost of living, to secure a nest egg for
transportation back to Alaska, and many of them want to
come back Many going below have no idea what they are
going for unless to enlist in the war service, it is just a
case of “ran sheep run”,like was played in the childhood
days.
There is work in Alaska, all parts of it. There is not
one industry in Alaska that is operating more than fifty
ped cent of its usual capacity.
Think before you go, there is coming a reaction, and
are you going to be one of those upon whom this reaction’
will be felt keenly?
" "
In another part of today’s Gateway is the information
that a celebration is being planned when the government
railroad is completed between Seward and Anchorage.
Can itbe possible that this “completion” is so near?

The Editor received another letter this forenoon from
a “subscriber” saying: “Roast the horses”
The Editor hot-footed it right over to Billie Ellis and
asked him if there was any need to “roast the horses?”
Mr. Ellis said that he had plenty of beef, fowl and
pork on hand to last until the next steamer arrived. Thus
there will be no horse barbecue.
Lots of men who graduate from medical schools are
