VACATION DAYS
Vacation days will soon arrive for the wee tot, just
peeking into the portals of learning and his or her com
patriot, the festive shiek and Sheba.
Who is it that cannot remember the ebulence welling
up in the youthful breast as this witching hour approach
es; of the great emprise to be launched when books are
cast aside and the thought of burning the schoolhouse,
threshing the teacher or some other equally unseemly re
venge has been dismissed in anticipation of the golden
days of freedom; of the places where the trout hide, and
where, with string and lath, Jimsie, backed by his gang
of prehensile compeers, will save the seat of his best
breeks by advancing long after the dinner hour with a
string of speckled beauties as a peace offering.
Then there are the luna hours.trysting places
where sweet nothings are whispered, and dreams as fil
my as the fleecy clouds are woven, and where fleeting
fancies assume the aspect of life’s tragedies, to be for
gotten before the breath of autumn warns that school
days are again here.
But there are those who will emerge from class
rooms bearing testimonials of learning. Here we will
find wrinkled brows as the male of the species strides
rythmically in deep meditation in an effort to decide if
it is the presidency or something less exacting—an ad
miral in the navy, for instance—he shall hitch his kite to;
whether he should cease his subtle hints and tell her to
her face that nothing short of her enthroned in a castle
in Spain, and at least three rollicking juniors playing on
the Persian rug, will assuage the consuming flame in his
youthful bosom.
These are moments we all would give much to live
over again—the hours of dreams, budding ambition, as
yet freedom from the sordid cares of a tumultous life,
and with each cloud rose-tinted and each hour filled to
the brim with the wine of life.
These periods come once in a lifetime. And youth is
entitled to drink deep of their nectar.
IN THIS CONSISTENCY?
The Juneau Empire waxes eloquent in its protest
against transference of the activities of the Alaska Road
Commission from the War to the Interior Department. It
sets up the postulate that such a change would undo the
accomplishments of the War Department.
The announcement from Washington set forth as
the reason for this change that it was in line with elimi
nation of multiple bureaus and concentrating Alaskan
federal activities under one department.
Assuming this to be the actual status of the situation,
it would appear inconsistent to protest against such con
solidation in view of the repeated complaints of the press
that bureaucracy was the bane of the Territory.
The Empire’s position is pardonable in view of the
fact that, due to the heaviest federal investment in Alas
ka is in the Railroad Zone, many headquarters hitherto
centered in Juneau promise to be removed to a more in
timate contact with activities.
It is eminently unfair to claim that the Interior De
partment is honeycombed with incompetency, despite the
fatal error of yielding to Senator Howell in placing bur
densome railroad rates upon the people.
Juneau has multiple resources more important than
bureau headquarters. No one grudges her these things,
but rather exalts with her.
This continual protest against every move seeking to
reduce bureaucracy, must appear to Washington as rath
er paradoxical in the light of what has gone before.
At any rate the change is worthy of a trial.
MANAGING A RAILROAD
“Out of the mouths of babes come wisdom.” Says
the Chitina Weekly Herald, published by the youngest
crew of journalists in America—(top age 13 years): “We
think the people in Chitina and along the trail should
write to Colonel Ohlson and let him know that the defiant
attitude expressed in the letter to him that the Gateway
published coming from the Richardson Highway Co.,
doesn’t speak for very many people around here .... We
never met Colonel Ohlson, who is head of the Govern
ment railroad, but we have heard that he is quite a big
guy. He must know his business to be able to run a rail
road.”
In other words, the young editor of the Herald sug
gests; “If you cannot do it yourself, get out of the way
and let someone who knows do it.”
Big trans-Atlantic liners are substituting young women for stew
ards. Possibly the old stewards now own the ships and are retiring.
SAVANTS WESTWARD
BOUND ON ANNUAL
STUDY UP HALIBUT
Bound for the Westward to com
plete three months’ investigation
of the halibut and other aqua-ma
rine life, a scientific expedition of
three savants of the International
fisheries bureau departed today on
the MS. Zapora for the Aleutian
Island after replenishing supplies
here.
The scientists are O. E. Eriksen,
J. L- Kask and L. D. Townsand,
the latter in charge of the annual
research this year.
The Zapora is commanded by
Capt. Lars Voge aided by a crew of
five men. The staunch little craft
j is taking the place of the schooner
[ Dorothy which served the organiz
! ation in previous work.
This year’s research has already
extended from southeastern Alas
ka to the Trinity Islands southwest
of Kodiak covering a period of two
months.
Many rare specimens of minute
marine life in various stages of
development have been procured
by the scientists all of which is
carefully tabulated in glass jars
for further study.

THE LADY KNOWN AS FLU
A bunch of germs were hitting it up
In the bronchial saloon;
Two bugs on the edge of the lar
nyx, too,
Were jazzing a ragtime tune;
Back to the teeth in a solo game,
Sat dangerous Ack-kerchoo,
And watching his pulse was his
light of love,
The lady that’s known as Flu.
