NOT SO BAD IN ALASKA
A heavy snow storm in Arizona in April. Blizzards in
** New England and New York just as the fruit trees
should be blossoming. A raging and paralyzing snow
storm in Omaha and other parts of Nebraska on April 4,
in the home state of Senator Howell, who opposed the
Alaska Railroad because he thinks we have bad weather
here.
Cyclones and floods in Oklahoma, Kansas, Eastern
Oregon and California, at a time when we in Alaska are
planting our gardens under the returning warmth of our
glorious summers!
Weighing advantages and disadvantages of one sec
tion with another, Alaska’s climate can hold its head with
pride in the just claim that it is free from some of the cal
amitous visitations that annually inflict losses of many
millions of dollars in nearly all the states, and in other
parts of the world.
Our winters are the kind which build the rich red
blood of robust health, and our summers are the nectar
of youthful joy.
Tho we haven’t much sympathy with some of the
farm relief theories advanced, the politicians ought at
least help the farmer produce enough straw for this
year’s straw votes.
HE WILL BE A BIG BOY YET
We wonder how these’ pessimists feel today now that
the Lowell Creek project is a certainty and the harbor of
refuge is coming up. This is just the beginning folks. So
many other good things coming up we hesitate to tell all
at this time. Seward is just now shedding its swaddling
clothes. / i

tory’s latent mineral wealth and nothing must be done to

If precedent means anything, a good many Demo
cratic delegates will soon be packing up for a month’s:
vacation in Houston. 1
If Uncle Sam really wants to end war he should with

Harry Sinclairs philosophy: To the victor belongs
