SEWARD. \LASKA. ITII KSDAY, JANUARY 27. 1016.
Many new arrivals in Alaska have probably never yet heard Alaska’s na
tional anthem. This glorious and touching melody contains all the Byronic
beauties, the mellifluent music of a Moore, the deep delight of a de l isle, the
superhuman subtlety of a Shakespeare. The name ot this anthem is “Lite
along the Yukon.” To describe in the briefest terms possible the poetic
entiments expressed in this undying composition it need only be said that
tic of the lines asserts that “the squaws along the Yukon are good enough
for me.”
Whatever may be said of this anthem a» a poem it must be admitted
that the line quoted pictures rather faitniuliy the aspirations of many of
the old timers along that lordly stream. One might travel up and down the
Yukon a thousand times and yet have no more idea of the inner life of the
egion than a visitor in Washington might have of the life inside the White
House. The truth really i* that “blon d natives” are fast becoming the rule
in the interior rather than the exception. From one certain man who has
a nice gained more than a natonul reputation to many others of more or
ess social standing it has been considered not at all a heinous otTense to re
isc to draw the color line when escapades partake of the qualities that made
Don Juan famous.
it is a positive fact that because of the failure of the government to
properly police the territory and to provide safeguards for the natives de
bauchery, with the Indians a* victims, has become a sort of joke, as may be
proven by the line of the beautiful and popular anthem above mentioned, i
While talking of fisheries. Jafet Linderberg, who was decorated with the
-nier of St. Ola: by the king of Norway recently, has said that the op
portunities for succcessful herring fishing on the coast of Bering sea
near Nome ar' greater than in the fumed herring waters of his native land.
Some day, no doubt, the potential fisheries of that coast and this coast will
be exploited The day will probably come when thousands and thousands of.
fisher folk will live and thrive along the verges of these Alaska waters but
the development of anything big is always apparently slow. Gradually the
•shing industry in Alaska is growing but it must grow much faster before
the growth becomes strikingly noticeable. You cannot expect thousands of
people to change all at once from their present occupations and it will take j
thousands to make themselves really felt, but there is nothing like keeping
the facts before the public mind constantly. If you cannot perform a miracle
you can help tc hasten normal development to the limit.
