SEW \UI>. ALASKA. MOM) tY, JANUARY. 31, 1916.
A Nome i>uper recently chided the efforts being made to make it ap
pear that Alaska has any agricultural possibilities. It speaks of the vege
tables raised in the territory and those outside and smiles superiorly at the
idea that the farm products of the North could ever equal those in the
States. It must be admitted that Nome presents very little hope of success
as a garden country but Nome is not Alaska. The Nome man who wrote
that stuff may not have seen other parts ot the territory and let him be re
mindf l that this part of Alaska has even more surprises in store for a
Notr.eite than for an outsider. The conditions in Nome make it almost im
possible for a resident of that section to believe that in the very same terri
tory fertile fi?Ms could ever be found. This is a peculiar little fact which
has been proven in many instances.
The renewal of the contract by the goven rment to have the Alaska in
sane cared for in the Morningside asylum destroys every hope that Alaska
itself would be chosen for the asylum. It is probably too late now to talk
about it but it is also hard to keep silent. There seemed to be every reason
in the world why Alaskans ought to be treated at home when they need
treatment. The governor’s and every influence in the territory' has been used
to prevail on the government to have the insane institution but a deaf ear
has been turned. The news is particularly disappointing to Seward which
had every reason to hope that it would be regarded as the proper place
for such an institution.
There is nothing too good for the members of a volunteer fire depart
ment in an Alaska city. In the most unselfish manner they give their time
and undergo harilships to save property which usually they have no financial
interest in whatever. Often it seems as if a city which is spending more
than any other city in Alaska in proportion to its size, and which has no
paid fire department, could be more generous to the boys on whom the city
depends for its safety. Seward has as fine and clean and skilled and energetic
men on its fire watch as any town can boast of.
DAWSON MAN IS
WOl'NDED AT FRONT
DAWSON.—A letter just received
from a former Klondiker now in Van
couver says that Chester A. Davis,
former Dawson boy, now a captain in
the Strathcona Horse, was wounded
recntly in France. Vancouver papers
also state that Davis was wounded.
Chester is a son of the late D. W.
Davis, former collector of customs for
the port of Skagway, and one time
extensive owner of rich placer ground
on oGld Hun creek. A number of
years ago Chester atended the Daw
son schools.—Ex.

TOM AIKEN MAKES
A NEW DISCOVERY
DAWSON.—Word has been receiv
ed from Mayo by mail and through
mu8hers who have just arrived that
Tom Aitken has struck a richer chute
of ore on tho Silver King property
than any he had there heretofer, and
is making splendid progress getting
out the ore.
Edward Weston Burnell, who
mushed in this week from Mayo, and
got away yesterday for Ireland, to en
list, said:
“The Aitken silver ore looks better
than ever. Aitken has fifteen men
working, and they are taking out half
a load more a day than they had ex
pected to do. Twelve tons of the ore
are being shipped daily.
Aitken is one of the hardest work
ers in his camp. He gets right down
in the shaft with the boys, and sets
the upace all day with the pick, and
goes like a whirlwind.
“The ore is being hauled thirty
miles, to Mayo Landing, for shipment
to the smelter by steamer when the
river opens.”—Ex.
