SEWARD. VLASKA, S\Tl'RDA Y, Al GI ST 11. 1915.
In saying that Alaska newspapers when they become local at all become
rabidly local Commissioner Kiggs of the Alaska Engineering commission got
off something that deserves to be preserved and remembered. The saying
expresses in a nutshell a fact which is deplorable but which, it must be said,
is hardly avoidable. Like people living in small towns, papers published in
small towns are always threatened with the danger of becoming narrow. It
is strange what a remarkable influence environment has on the human mind.
If a prisoner is cooped up in a cell the spiders on the wall become objects of
paramount interest to him. Byron tells us how the “mice at moonlight play
ing” became almost the friends of Bonnivard in his dungeon. In a limited
range of vision small things look large. A lump of sugar looks larger in the
bowl of a pipe than a mountain look.^ in a vast stretch of landscape. The
palm of our hand when held too closely to the eyes can shut off the view of (
an ocean.
For similar reasons local objects assume too important a stature when we
see nothing else ami live amongst them too long, but as the prisoner in his
cell might by a mental effort look beyond the spider so might we by less ef
fort refuse to let the petty local considerations occupy all our thoughts to the •
exclusion of everything else.
The man or the paper which refuses to take into account the rest of Al
aska and the rest of the world is lost. It is only one step further to the con
dition which makes a man count the cracks in the sidewalk as he moves
along the street. “Rabidly local” is a phrase that ought to stick.
The Juneau city council has passed an ordinance compelling “itinerants
to pay a monthly tax of twenty-live dollars. The Juneau Dispatch during
the time that this ordinance was passing paid the Gateway the compli
ment of using its editorial on the subject. To that editorial this paper has
nothing to add. It stated that itinerants are men who like the cuckoo use
the nest built by others in which to make their home. It also said that such
fly-by-nights have no incentive to keep good stocks. All they want is to
sell off and get off ami leave their dupes of customers with their shoddy
on their hands. The city council of Juneau is right and is it too much to
hope that other councils will emulate their example ?
ITINERATE MERCHANTS
MI ST PAY IN JUNEAU.
JUNEAU, August 7.—Under the1
provisions of the recent act passed by
the second Alaska legislature, the city
council last night passed a pedlars’
and itinerant merchants’ license or
dinance.
The ordinance provides that any
one who hawks, sells, or peddles, any
goods, chattels, books or other
articles from a fixed place of business,
which is for a short time only, or
who peddles them from door to door,
shall first procure a license from the
city and pay therefor at the rate of
$25 per month.
All canvassers for books, pictures,
or publications also come under the jj
terms of the ordinance, although no
license is charged them while they are
making deliveries of previous orders.
Any person who has garden truck
raised by himself, fish caught by him
self. or bivalves secured by himself,
ma\ peddle them from door to door or
sell them in any way he may see fit
without securing the license under
the ordinance.
Commercial travelers who are call
ing upon the trade, or who represent
legitimate business houses, are ex
cepted under the provisions of the or
dinance.
Itinerant merchants who bring
stocks of goods to town to sell in a
short time and then get out, are es
pecially mentioned in the ordinance.

in Seward, he said that the tourists
seem to come there by the thousands!
this summer, and consequently the j
picture business is booming. He also
says that the berry season this year

place. The weather has been fine,

Writer, Etc., is Thankful.
Thomas Martindale, , of Philadel
phia, who besides being a hunter and
writer is also the head of a great
business establishment in Phila

oraise the manner in which his wants
were fulfilled here by a local business

prospective visitors might know what

Messrs. Brown & Hawkins,
Seward, Alaska.
^“•itlemen:—
Since 1 arrived home from my
hunting trip in Snug Harbor—
Cook's Inlet—I have thought that
I ought to write you about the
supplies furnished to us on that
expedition.
Therefore, I take pleasure in
saying that although the supplies
totaled $158.00 and covered a
large number of items, yet each
and every item was of the best
quality; the goods were so care
fully packed that there wasn’t a
single broken package, while the
prices were so moderate as to
surprise me.
Being a merchant myself I
think it but right to forward to
you this appreciation.
Truly yours,
THOMAS MARTINDALE.
