SEvv AKl>, ALASKA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 15, 1916.
The story of the kaisers illness reminds one of the unreliability of much
of the so-called news that comes from the war in Europe. General von Em
mich who died some days ago was reported at the time of the siege of Liege
to have committed Suicide, it is only a week or two since we heard that
the Kussiana had landed at Varna. The Crown Prince has been reported
wounued and even gone crazy, ihis is all part of the feverish desire, no
doubt, of correspondents and newspapers to make news when no real news
can be secured. Some time ago a ship was wrecked on Vancouver island and
a lot oi people were drowned. A city editor of one of the Seattle papers
d c.ded mat to make the story really interesting someone abord the steamer
should be made a hero and the reporter covering the wreck was instructed
to make a hero at all costs. The result was that a stoker on the steamer was
pictured as the greaest hero that ever lived and so heroic did the reporter
make him that the stoker got an engagement on a vaudeville circuit at a
good salary. It has often been said that many a man has become famous
because some editor of a big newspaper was short of copy and had to find
something to fill up. Thi.-* is truer of the L nited States than of any other
country and the reason is that all the newspapers are too big and have to
nil more space, f amous newspapers like Le Matin and others of Paris are
very little larger than the Gateway usually but what they say is usually
worthy of credence and if they do make mistakes it is no fault of their own.
Everything bLitant and empty is avoided. The wheat is separated from the
chalT and the chat! never appears. Up to a few years ago the British papers
could also be trusted and most of them can be trusted yet but yellowmess
has crept in to suit the tastes of the crowd in many instances. There is
probably no newspaper on earth that could not tell the day's news in four
or live pages cf ordinary size. All the rest of the space is filled as a crooked
grocer is supposed to put sand in sugar to increase the weight, and tho sand
in the case of the newspapers is faked news.
In his report the secretary of the interior says cod fishing in Alaska is
only in its infancy. Many banks have been scarcely touched. He also says
that the herring fishing industry has been by no means developed to its full
a ui the herring of Alaska are equal as food to the herring of Norway and
Scotland. In 1914 ,the secretary says, there were twenty-one thousand
persons engaged in the Alaska fishing industry. The number of white men
was slightly over eleven thousand or just about a half.
WHAT CAUSES OUR FOGS
In its reconnoissance of soils in Al
aska the agricultural department of
ficials report that the fogs in this
neighborhood are caused by the fact
that the mountains act as a barrier to
the moisture laden winds that come
from the Japan current. The report
also says that the temperature around
Knik Arm is more equable than
that about Turnagain Arm. It is
stated by the same authorities that
frost occurs in Ship creek when it is
absent on the south side of Turnagain
Arm.
