ROMANCE? ALL AROUND YOU
(Seattle Star)
Some folks still say there's no romance any more, but
how about radio and airplanes, combined in a fight for
life over Bering sea? That story was printed in The
Star a day or two ago—and no fiction could have been
more thrilling.
You have read many a romance with poorer plot than
that of a native chief, dying on an ice-locked island, while
radio and winged-limousine strove to save him.
The Northwest country just reeks with romance. Go
out and find it. You won't have to search long; you'll
stumble over it in the first few hours.
A Swedish professor is experimenting with a view of
extracting all food substances consumed by man from the
air by merely throwing a switch. In New York the vamps
are already getting theirs from the heir and have done
awray with the switch. ,
THE DELEGATE’S SPEECH
(Anchorage Times)
“Dangerous Dan” Sutherland, Alaska’s delegate to
Congress, ran true to form last night in deliverance of his
address here on “issues of vital importance to Alaska,” de
voting a good portion of his vituperations to those who
have opposed him for political preference or expressed op
position to measures he sponsors - Much of his abuse
was directed at the press of Alaska and particularly to
The Times for an editorial opposing the Comptroller bill
declaring the entire Alaska press subservient to big inter
ests alleged to have sinister motives in shaping legislation
in the Territory.
The Delegate forgot to mention that the “big inter
ests” controlling the affairs of The Times are the 12 or
more business men of Anchorage who own and direct this
paper, but nevertheless they are brought under the blan
ket indictment returned by the Delgate against the whole
press of Alaska for subserviency to big interests through
an effort to perpetuate bureauracy.
Some of his mouthings are too ridiculous to consider,
but portions of them, where missstatements were glaring,
should and will be refuted.
One thing brought out by the Delegate is outstanding
and welcome. That is that the fight for the Comptroller
bill will be carried to the voters next election. That is ex
actly as it should be. If there should develop a demand
for a Board of Control for Alaskan affairs to supercede
the functions of the Governor, the board must be the selec
tion of Alaskan citizens as a whole and not the appointees
of a legislative clique, as was hoped for by those backing
the Comptroller bill that was killed this week in the Sen
ate at Juneau.

Fred Reynolds, general manager of
the company, is now freighting in sup
plies and taking in a force of men for
the summers' operations. These are

It is understood Mr. Sulzer’s Anal
plans embrace following out the re
commendations of the late Dr. Alfred
Brooks, chief of the Alaska Division,
U. S. Geological survey, and connect
the White River country with the Mat
anuska coal fields, either by an exten
sion of the line up the Tanana valley
along what is described as a splendid
water grade, or connecting up over
(the old Copper Center survey, recon*
noitered by Brooks and the locating
engineers when The Alaska Railroad
was projected. This latter ^oute
would enter the coal fields via the
Matanuska river from the east and
pass over the Chickaloon spur to al
most the portal of the coking coal
mines of Anthracite Ridge, Coal!
creek and adjacent high-quality meas
ures of coal, all capable of producing
the finest gradte of coke as has been
demonstrated by the Bureau of Mines.
Another available route is over the
old survey made by the Kennecott
Copper company from McCarty, a dis
tance of 90 miles, and passing through
Scoli pass. ;
In addition to the Shushana com
pany’s developments, considerable
