WELCOME NEWS
The announcement that General Manager 0. F. Ohl
son has been giver, the privilege of reducing passenger
rates on the Alaska Railroad will come as welcome news,
and may be credited to a gesture seeking to compose
what had become a wide breach between the dwellers of
rhe Rail Belt and the Federal government.
This broadening of the powers cf General Manager
Ohison carries another significance in that it indicates
that the Department of the Interior has at last escaped
the clutches of such men as Nebraska’s “Howl” and the
emblems of mediocrity which composed his senatorial
committee.
It has long been felt that, given opportunity to dis
play judgement in the management of the railroad in
stead of being compelled to conform to a formula created
by men who know nothing of railroading, the general
manager and the people of the Rail Belt could easily com
pose any differences of opinion, and come together on a
general program calculated to make the railroad a fin
ancial success while at the same time effecting the aims
and purposes for which it was constructed.
Thruout the entire difference of opinion respecting
freight and passenger rates the question has not been so
much one of resentment of added costs as one of princi
ple. This action of reinstating the passenger fares to their
original status will go far to compose this difference and
enlist the cooperation of all communities in assisting the I
management in successful operation. I
it ica safe to predict that General Manager Ohison !
will ill dlte time readjust the freight rates to meet the
exigencies of the situation, a thing vitally pressing in
view of the rapid approach of the time when ore ship
ments will be traveling over the railroad. A special rate
on this class of traffic would go far toward encouraging
development of those regions now holding back because
of excessive freight rates.
THEY SAY THAT—
Persistent rumors that Hollywood is about ready to
shut up shop has led to the following changes:
Greater Garbage has speared a job as a herring
choker at Latouche.
Dolorez del Diablo, the beautiful Mex star w7ho w7as
the sensation in “Strip ‘Em and Leave ’Em,” at a salary
of .5999 per season, has a job dealing off the arm at An
chorage.
Kay Jaundice, whose voice w7as the rage in “Steat
pygous,” is now heard in a Juneau cafeteria singing
“Draw One and a Stack of Bucks!”
Jack Holdum, who starred in “Ten Days and Nights
:n a Bar-room,’' unable to get awmy to make a getaway
from Valdez, was caught by his ninth wife and is doing
“Ten Years in Folsom.”
Jennie^ Slimbottom, who started in “Frisk ’Em and
Trim ’Em,” arrived at home in Matanuska in time to help
mother milk the cowts.
Tom Scramble, hero of the “Blundering Third,” is
helping his father at the Nome ranch emasculating rein
deer calves.
Countess Countless, who was a sensation in “Limbs
of the Night” and “Big Timber is in the Butt,” has a job
as dishwasher ai a Ketenikan lumber camp.
Fannie Spindlebottom, voted Miss 1932, late of the
Meetyou Goldwins, as star in “Spare-ribs,” is packing
crabs at Cordova.
Among former stars who have deserted the silvered
screen for commerce are Babe Katza, Olga Pelkateffel,
Dolores del Patata, Imogene Mangolwurzel, Katrinka
Nouspeigle, Zippy Kalbfleish, Ima Lonsoto and Ura Pip- '
ina, the Mexican beauties, who have opened a laundry j
at Fairbanks. ;!
GETTING HIS MONEY’S WORTH
A coloi ed man, having just come into a legacy and
recognizing the necessity of an operation as an aid to
conversation, approached Dr. A. D. Haverstock of the
Seward General Hospital.
t Lissen, bossman, I craves a operation—one dat don’t
nu t much, but whut has a big name. I don’t keer whut
it cos’s.” |
“How about a posterior incision of the epidermis
anterior to the ulnacarpal, or ulnametacarpal of the cro
noid process?” j
Hot dawg! das whut I wants. B’gin kyarvin!”
The saxaphone was invented in 1840 by Adolphe Sax
and introduced into the French army in 1848, hence the
Franco-Prussian war.
T-- future is to read wi ’ -ertainty only in the past. -
PROCEEDS FROM “THE
flOTCIST" WILL OC IP
“The Outcast,” the third majoi
play offered by the Little Theatei
Club, will bring to the Seward
public on December 16, at the
Liberty theater, a sparkling three
act comedy drama that enjoyed
! unusually long engagements on
| prominent Eastern stages,
j Full of situations that hold the
| interest of its patrons at a high de
| gree through the entire perfor
1 mance, the play is vastly intrigu
j ing. It is hilarious in spots and
j pathetic in others. It is witty,
I clever and mirthful.
The receipts from the play will
; be used to pay off local contrac
j tors the remaining indebtedness
! incurred earlier in the year when
| the Little Theater dub had built,
j and presented to the town, the
excellent stage in the high school
’ assembly.
Because of its splendid civic
spirit, and the fact that its pre
vious presentations o f popular
stage plays were well put on, it is
expected that “The Outcast” will
draw a full house one week from
Friday, in the Liberty theater.

“COP” FEELING TIP-TOP
“My health has been wonderful
lately and I long to return to Sew
ard.” So writes Wm. D. Coppernoll,
venerable Seward attorney and
resident who has been sojourning
in Verginia for more than a year, i
"Cop” desires to be remembered to'
all his friends and “wishes them
well.” When he next returns to
Seward, which he hopes will be in■
the Spring, he intends to remain'
permanently. |
