Just What It Really Means
Had a letter from an Ol
Timer Sewardite who is un
dergoing medical treatmen'
in the states. He says he i
waiting impatiently for thy
day when the doctors wi
pronounce him cured an
ready for the northwara
mush. He is tired of the tin1
moil and confusion on th
outside and is longing to get
back to little old Sewar5
where the old bunch is hang
ing out and a fellow is sure
of at least a regular me:
and a little peace and secur
ity. He says that somehoy.
the city he' is staying in is
not just like Seward. The
people in the states are wor
rying their heads off over
the high taxes, the high cost
of living, the industrial quar
rels, the fear of hard times,
panics and loss of jobs.” Old
Seward up there in Alaska
where the people are. living,
in peace has this big city
backed off the map. Why
these people down here can’t
believe there is such a thing
as peace and plenty. They
vi-sion these things only at
the end of a rainbow
The people of Seward ar:
not worrying much about
Europe or Asia, or foreig" ■
relations or foreign comme;
ce, or strikes, lockouts o
taxes. They sit in pretty rc
gularly at the feed boar '
and do no worrying abet
the Japanese situation or tl
League of Nations or tl
conditions in Russia. The
yawn a little over the quie*
ude of life and sleep soundl
at night
There are some few c
them who worry over tril
les. Some few who are so na
row minded that they wi
cut their nose off to spit
their face. Some few who in
agine they are nighty bi.
toads in a small puddk
Some few who make a cor.
tinuous laughing stock o,
themselves. Some few wh
imagine that they are inval
uable to the community am
the things they are affilia:
ed with. Some few who ar<
always whining and con
plaining and damning an
lying and knocking. Som<
few who -would do the com
munity much good by pack
ing up their duds and leav
ing for all time. But they art
not many, thank the Lore
and just as soon as thest
doctors down here tell me I.
am in condition to mush
once more I’ll be on the first
boat north bound for Sew
ard.” This real old sour
do.igh pioneer has been in
Alaska many years and he is
one of those big hearted, far
seeing, broad minded men
who are an assett to any
community. He’ll be back
soon.
He who lends money to a
friend may lose confidence,
a friend and his money.

One of the old timers t'
vhe Westward writes sor1
nteresting news items to the
Pathfinder Magazine.
Just imagine the little bay
rf Unga or Delaroff harbor,
as it is called in the the maps
having 15 separate fishing
;tations and they were all
loing well until the Japs-got
;o bringing cheaper fish into
;he states and the Alaska
Steamship Company lost the
rail contract.
How we miss the old Dora.
What a gala day it used to
be at Unga when she hove in
sight, especially after Zim
Moore got her, with Sunny
rille as Mate and Spring
stein as Purser. How we
missed his stories, his wel
come and his big broad
smile. And another old sour
dough that we all miss is Ole
Popsey. His widow is-to be
married shortly. That wo
man should have a medal foi
bringing up all those six
footers, eleven in all, and
>vho knows, she may make a
fresh start!
Halraer Lauritzen is still
holding down the same job.
agent for the Union Fish Co.
The grandma is as healthy
as ever although past her
three score and ten. Mrs.
Lauritzen is now the mother
of seven boys, big and husky
and still looks as young as
ever. Ed Pearson is still the
agent for the, Alaska Cod
fish Company, with Johnnie
Foster as bookkeeper. The
old lady Foster is getting
verv stout
Yes, our old friend Harr.
Richard is at peace wit'
arth at last. I hope Harr;

\nd Martin Gilbert is still a'

"sh Co. Martin is gettinf
Id but is still husky. Re ha;
ised quite a family by hir
cond wife. Squaw Harbor
..s become some place now
ith a salmon cannery and
ine codfish stations. John,
'elson, “Stoc-kfish” Nelson,
e used to call him passed
.way last December leaving
young widow, and a bright
ttle boy. His property is up
'or sale and it is one of the
>sst equiped stockfish sta
ions in the country. Nils
lilson just acrossron the oth
r side got swamped with his
’ory and was drowned. An
drew Hanson is still at his
)la« in Squaw Harbor; his
second daughter Mary, who
vas educated at Unalaska
:ame home a few years ago
md took hold of the cattle
n the ranch and has made a
big success, thereby putting
,ier parents on easy street.
She got married the other
lay to a young man from the
states.
Yes, “Fat” Nils . is still at
Little Squaw Harbor, but he
is not fat any more. He has
built up a nice place and has
a large herd of cattle. Mrs.
Christensen works with him,
hut neither of them are as
young as they used to -be
and look more aged. They
think of disposing of their
ranch and going outside to
take things easy; Charlie

crowded with fox. His young;

they were here. j
And then there is our old ■
friend Judge DHfield. He is
still at the old stand and the!
same good old man. He is j
now a wireless operator as
well a3 a legal adviser.. The
Unga people will never fully
realize what a friend the
Judge has been to the p’ace;
until after he is gone. Then
they will miss him. He is al
ways happy as long as he
can help somebody. They
have a marshal here wh,o at
tends to his business and ev -
; erything is going along
'smoothly and peaceably, so
