UNCLE SAM S NAVY
Despite all that might be said respecting naval re
duction in its relation to comity of nations and its influ
ence upon the national budget it would be nothing short
of tragedy for the United States navy to fall below the
standard built up upon an entirely different hypothesis
than that of other navies of the world.
The United States navy is something more than a
jneans of defense; it is in fact a “man factory,” and its
relations to nation in this respect far outweigh the ques
tion of expenditure.
It is not so long ago that the uniform was free from
stigma, because fighting forces were supposed to be made
up of pug-uglies, something after the manner of an old
time prize-fighter. Being a fighting force, its personnel,
aside from its officers, was expected to be as tough off as
well as on duty. In some respects this was true.
One of the first pronouncements made by former Sec
retary of the Navy Joseph Daniels was to the effect that
the navy must be a place where young men would find op
portunity not only to prepare themselves for the defense
of the country, but to obtain an education and culture not
within their reach. He advocated reaching out to the
farms and recruiting young boys and molding them into
the highest type of citizen.
That the policy has borne splendid fruit is evidenced
every time a naval ship touches at the port of Seward. One
cannot but coddle to the jolly, healthy gob and the refin
ed democratic officers and note the insoluable cohesive
ness of the whole the close c-omeraderies between chev
rons and the lower rank, and envision what it would mean I
once the force was called upon to defend the nation.
Any institution which tends to improve the charac-;
ter and point a high perspective to the youth of the na- j
tion, while at the same time grants recognition to abili-1
ties regardless of birth or station in life, is a blessing to j
the nation.
In this condition reposes the answer why the United I
States navy has remained unbeatable since its inception.
It is a oneness built of cohesive substances incapable of:
dissolution through the ordinary forces besetting other:
nations.
Enthusiast—How did you like the Padre’s lecture on
Western Alaska?
Lady—Very much, that is, without the giggling.
Enthusiast—Giggling ?Why he was only naming Ege
gik, Ushagak, Ugashik and Akiak. They are towns.
It seems about time the gigolos began assembling in
Washington and asking for relief from the depression.
NAMES IN NAMES
Tio De Cano (Uncle of Cans) works at a cannery
in Alaska.
Anyway the depression ought to keep delegations of
Congressmen from invading Alaska for some time.
Chile offers to exchange nitrates for American
wheat, oil, gas, etc. This may open the way through which
we can trade seme of our congressmen for a bevy of first
class Chilean brigands.
About the surest way to get the people back to pros
pecting is to lay out golf courses among the thickets.

LA VOY AND TAYLOR
ATTEMPT RESCUE BODY
Merle LaVoy, noted cameraman,
and Andrew Taylor, both oldtime
Alaskans, passed thru Seward Fri
[ day enroute to McKinley Park in
an attempt to recover the body of
I the late Theodore Koven from Mul
drow Glacier. The rescue expedi
' tion is being financed by the moth
er of the glacier victim and it is
the intention of LaVoy to go thru
to Fairbanks to outfit for the trip.
Koven was a member of the
Allen Carpe cosmic ray expedition.
He and Dr. Carpe were some dis
tance in advance of the other
members of the party and they
broke thru a snow bridge and fell
into a crevasse. Koven managed
to crawl out, while Carpe died in
the crevasse. Injuries and expos
ure combined to cause the death of
'oven and the' Jttdy was found
later when members of another
party returned to the glacier from
their ascent of the mountain. It
was impossible to bring the body
out at that time and it was left on
the glacier for such efforts at re
covery as might be made later.
It is understood that no attempt
will be made to recover the body of j
Carpe.
Among the arrivals on last even
ing’s train from the Interior was
Fr. Merrill Sulzman, who spent the
past week in Fairbanks. He will
conduct regular church services
this coming Sunday as usual.
Pilot Mat Nieminen of the Alas
kan Airways, who left Seward Fri
day morning with a passenger for
Latouche, arrived in Anchorage the
same afternoon, having flown di
rectly from Latouche to Anchorage.
John E. Holmgren, well known
miner of the Girdwood district, left
on the liner Aleutian Friday for
Seattle on a business trip.
