THE WESTWARD URGE
What is that urge which impels men to follow the set
ting sun? And why is it that all great movements ol immi
gration, and kindred lesser movements, are always west- j
ward?
Scientists have never fully agreed on this matter, al
though the burden of opinion favors the “urge to follow.”
It is a singular fact that, while Eastern countries
have broad areas of unsettled wilderness, offering climat
ic conditions, fecundity of the soil and beauty of scenery
comparable with Western countries, immigration in that
direction has been negligible.
Even when the Asiatics, believed by Dr. Alex Hrd
licker and Otto W. Geist to have been the first settlers of
North America, began their migration to Alaska, they
traveled approximately 750 miles westward before they
reached the 180th meridian of latitude, where one about
faces and, in addition to losing a day, imagine they are
traveling westward to the Orient.
One Eminent scientist insists that the Westward
movement is the product of momentum, occasioned bv the
earth rushing toward the sun. Railroad builders will tell
you that the lines running north and south show greater
wear on the western rails than that on the east.
But whatever the phenomena involved in the subject,
it is an established fact that so long as there is a west,'
men, like planets, will continue to circle the globe, until
they reach the spot where the sun begins to rise ahead of
them.
THE VOICE OF'SEPTEMBER
The voice of September, speaking from the past, has ;
a good deal to say. During this month, Oliver Cromwell,
Whittier the poet, Aaron Burr, Daniel Boone, and Presi
dents McKinley and Garfield died. Two patriots paid on
the scaffold the extreme penalty for devotion, Robert Em- j
met in Ireland, on Sept. 19, 1803, and Nathan Hale in j
America, on Sept. 22,1776.
There were things doing on the water, too. In Sep
tember 1609, Hudson was having the first white man’s
look at the river that bears his name. Macdonough’s vie-!
tory on Lake Champlain makes the month memorable for!
the year 1814. Perry performed a similar service for his j
country on Lake Erie. !
Among battles, this month can claim the Marne, j
Brandywine in the Revolution, Antietam in the Civil War, j
and the crushing of Scottish hopes by the English at
Flodden Field in 1513.
The leading issue used to be farm relief; now it’s;
everbody’s relief.
Reports from this area of Alaska indicate that much !
canning will be done this fall, including that of quite a |.
lot of candidates from soft political berths. j
Our one-time infant industries now appear to be in I
their second childhood. j
An American expedition intends to seek Noah’s Ark
in Alaska. Is that where some of these oldtimers come
from? Anyhow, maybe Uncle Sam will buy it for the
Shipping Board.
A Fairbanks man fined $25 for beating his wife said j
he thought amusement taxes had been repealed.
Some take a sea voyage on a doctor’s advice; others
on a lawyer’s.
Alaskan parents should remember not to worry if I
the little boy is fond of playing in dirt. He may become a
great politician. ' i
The Agriculture Department bill carries an item ;
of $90,000 for encouraging fairs. Why not tiy exhibiting j
a farmer who broke even last year?

I today’s special from the Interior,

Yakutat for Chicago following in
spection of properties in the An
chorage district. Due to shortage

amination of mining prospects.
It is conservatively estimated at
least 50,000 unemployed have gone j
back to work as a direct result of j
the recent lifting of the ban on '
newly-mined gold.
It is reported two or three air- |
planes may arrive today at the
local airport from Interior regions.
