SKWARD, ALASKA. THURSDAY, NOV. 2. 1S116.
Ptarmigan have disappeared in all parts ol Alaska
this winter evidently. The theory that they have onlv
moved from one place to another seems to be upset by
the news coming from other parts ol the territory. I he
birds have disappeared altogether from the Nome district
and also from the the lower ^ ukon as well as from South
ern Yukon territory which means the head of the Yukon.
In neither of these places have the papers been able to tell
the reason. In Nome it is said that the birds disappeared
in the same manner about thirty years ago but came back,
or were reborn, more plentiful than ever on the following
year. In protecting its animal life is it that Providence
has ignored the Alaska and all other codes to make a far
more effective law. a law so perfectly effective and so
mysterious in its working that its divine origin is proven.’
If we could only keep from pettiness life in a small
town would be relieved from many ol its irritations, but
pettiness is bound to come when we become too familiar
with each other and pay too much attention to little local
personal affairs. It is strange how polite we can be to a
stranger and how rude to a person with whom we are in
timate. All of us remember when we were kids getting
chided for being rude to a sister or brother and over nice
to some other fellow's sister. We also remember how the
polite conduct of some juvenile visitor was held up to us
as a maddening example but we did not understand then
that the visitor's politeness was due to his unfamiliarity.
The child is father to the man and the man remains a child
in uianv i lungs. He foreets to be ordinanlv courteous
when he becomes too familiar, and if we could only all
realize how much this means in the relations of man to
man and woman to woman we should consider courtesy a
gift from heaven.
In speaking of the development of Alaskan political
life it should be mentioned for the benefit of the many
who have come here for the railroad, perhaps, that the
first Alaska legislature was elected four years ago and has
had only two sessions. It may also be mentioned that a
Seward man. Senator L. V. Ray, was president of the first
territorial senate. It may also be said that we have three
local men now running for the legislature who may be de
scribed as all right, no matter what party any of us might
be affiliated with. The next session of the legislature will
convene in March.
