HEALTHY INCREASE ALASKA EXPORTS
While communists commune throughout the world,
Alaska forges ahead. While croakers lament about
everything going “haywire,” Alaska’s exports, including
gold and silver, increase. Last month Alaska’s commo
dities more than doubled that of the previous year.
The chief gains, according to the Collector of Cus
toms Office, were made in canned salmon and gold. Furs
also gained materially, the value of the fur crop being
approximately five times that of May, 1930.
In the face of panicky conditions in the States, the
Territory of Alaska continues to “hit the ball” which is
the key to steady progress in any line of endeavor.
A LAUDABLE WORK
Among the many humanitarian activities which en
gage the support of benevolent societies and individuals,
the restoring of crippled children to health and happi
ness is one of the most commendable.
The work of modern surgeons in this connection
is effective almost beyond belief. Modern science has
healed all manner of diseases and practically every
type of malformation, if taken in early childhood, can be
cured.
Among the organizations which have given special
attention to crippled children, the Shriners have been
particularly active, each member of the order contrib
uting regularly to the maintenance of homes for these
unfortunate little ones, who would otherwise go thru
life with deformed bodies and limbs. Other societies are
doing a similar service.
The hearty encouragement and support of this lab
or of love should be extended by every person who is
in a position to lend a hand.
U A DISCO V UKUL> lUUJM Iiv I
Archaelogists excavating in Egypt have uncovered
temples and walls which throw new light on the ancient
civilization that flourished along the Nile. The surface
of the earth is pretty well known, especially in view oi
late airplane surveys, but what lies below the surface
remains for the most part, an undiscovered country. In
vestigation is made difficult by reason of the fact thal
every road or building erected by man seals just thal
much area against digging, and as to the open spaces
inspection is limited to the depth of the deepest mine.
We know as much about the interior of the eartl
as the fly which leaves its microscopic foot-prints or
the tub of butter.
No wonder so many other towns and villages in th<
Territory are forever “cutting Seward’s throat;” lool
at the wonderful weather of the last two weeks, th<
magnificent harbor; the beautiful setting for a grea
city, the splendid rich area surrounding Seward. N<
wonder they rave and tear their hair in an effort U
belittle this city. All of which is a healthy indication. W<
got something they lack.
Wonder why the Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merce members left Seattle Friday on the SS Aleutiai
for Vancouver, B. C., instead of on the regular sailini
date, Saturday? Can it be some desired to “greas
their whistles” ?

KODIAK AND KIRLDK
SALMON PACK AHEAD
OF PERIOD LAST YEAR
Red salmon are beginning to
show a good run in the vicinity of
Karluck and the Kodiak cannery
has packed many times the num
ber of cases than it had at this
time last year.
Individual fishermen also report
better catchs than last year. The
Gateway is informed that H. H.
Hungerford, fish warden, whose
duties require him to carefully ob
serve and report the run of fish, is
said to have said that whatever the
run is at Karluck is a sure and
certain index of what the run wi1
be around the whole Kodiak, Afog
! nak group.
There are 14 cannries operating
| this year in that region.
FILES FOR BIG RACE
“Pussyfoot” Larsen, member of
j the crew of the U. S. S. Discoverer,
| better known as “Red Wing,” will
endeavor to add one more medal
to his already heavily-laden manly
chest. He will endeavor to defeat
all other contestants in the big
mountain race on the Fourth of
July and herewith throws his hat
into the ring and begins active
training. The “Flying Swede” has
competed against Nurmi, also an
other good runner. His fallen
arches are said to be much im
proved which will be good news to
his backers.
The Seward-Kenai Lake High
way is now, with the exception of
the tops of the hills, as good and
dry as anytime during the good old
summer time, and no autoists need
have any fear in making the trip
as long as they keep on the road.
Capt. Pete Sather, local trans
portation magnate, left for Nuka
Bay Saturday, taking as passen
gers, Henry Larsen, Christ Larsen,
Alec Wilson and M. McDougal.
Captain Sather expects to return
to port Tuesday.
T. N. Parrish, storekeeper at
Kenai, accompanied by Mrs. Par
rish and daughter Eleanor, are
passengers on the Admiral Watson
enroute to Seattle.
