Says Knik Has Knockers
A subscriber at Knik writes to the
Gateway to complain that knockers
abound in that community, who make
it their business to handicap the
efforts of everybody who is trying to
build up and develop the country, lie
says:
“I came to Knik two years and a
half ago, and as an individual I have
tried and with good success to develop
and build up this part of Cook inlet,
which I hope will be the means of
encouraging others of the same dispo
sition as myself to help develop this
deserving part of Alaska. I have
spent over $2000 In prospecting and in
building houses for the comfort of the
general public that at any time might
come in here.
“But unfortunately, my efforts have
met opposition, — namely, that after
successful location of as valuable copper
property as any in Alaska, there arose
a branch of the society of knockers
who mosey around and snarl every
time a live man of the town tries to
start something to build up the town
and country. I use your own language
in this last sentence of an editorial
appearing in the Gateway of July 27,
1907.M
The writer goes on to say in sub
stance that the alleged knockers have
been depreciating the value of copper
; property located and partially devel
oped in the vicinity of Knik and calls
I for fair play by residents in the inter
! est of the upbuilding of the region.
Fighting the Teddy Bear
The attack on the Teddy bear by a
preacher of St. Joseph, Mich., on the
ground that it supplants the doll and
atrophies the maternal instinct is very
I generally approved in the press of the
[United States. The Cleveland Plain
Dealer says: “Some of the other
phases of this ursine monstrosity fad
awaken only disgust. To see a grown
girl hugging a stuffed brute to her
bosom in simulated rapture, or a
woman trundling one along a public
thoroughfare in a baby’s perambulator,
or ‘social leaders’ giving ‘Teddy bear
luncheons,’ each matron lugging with
her ownest darling little umpty bear,
should make a full-fledged human be
ing sigh for a turn to antediluvian
simplicity.’’
Artie owls are brown in summer and
snow white in winter.
