WHEN A FELLOW HAS A KICK COMING
Steve Melehoir has a kick coming. He finds himself
like the victim of a racketeer gang, being kidnapped and
set down under an alias, along with other victims, and
made to embellish what would be a good yarn but for its
discrepancies both as to pictures and distances.
The Moose Magazine carries a story illustrated by a
view of a moose, a whale and a dogteam. It is dated Ege
gik, Bristol Bay, Bering Sea, Alaska. The writer sets
forth that he is 700 miles from the nearest postoffice, that
Ills letter must travel by dogteam, which delivers mail
every 60 days. Measure it as you will, one cannot, even
with the use of a rubber band, get more than 100 miles
between Egegik and Dillingham, 100 miles from Kanatak,
or 100 miles from Nushagak.
Steve, a pioneer resident of Seward, is willing to al
low the writer his whale, and the dogteam for that mat
ter, but he positively refuses to have his picture, taken in
Seward while he wras feeding his moose from a dishpan, i
palmed off for the writer. If there was no other grounds
for entering his demurrer, Steve maintains that he is a
better looking man than anybody who can perform such
piracy even tho he hides away over there on Bristol Bay.
Since the dogteam picture is that of Leonard Seppala j
bringing Col. John Gotwals over Rainy Pass along in
1925, and the whale’s postoffice is given as Akutan, all
that is left of authenticity in the premises is the fact that
Egegik is on the map and it was a whale of a piece of
plagarism.
QUITE SO! QUITE SO!
Judging from the exceedingly few arrests and cases
arising in Seward it seems that the supply of that article
of general consumption “moon” is quite scant. Numerous
are the lolling tongues of the thirsty ones. It is generally
believed that beyond “them thar mountains” the fountain
of the “oil of joy” flourishes. However, when “The Moon
shines Over the Mountain” there is bound to be keen suf
fering in the valley.
Since 1880 Alaska has produced some $629,313,000
in mineral wealth. About $8,476,000 in gold was extract
ed this year. Not bad at all for a couple of thousand min
ers and prospectors. But what if there were 20,000 mining
men in the field?
Ernest Walker Sawyer, always alert to any enter
prise that would tend to promote Alaska,s interest now
recommends the raising of bull frogs for the Eastern
markets. Being opposed to croakers, we hope somebody
will jump to it and start canning them.
The worth of Alaska’s fisheries to the Territory
this year can be roughly estimated when it is learned
27,568 persons were employed who received an approxi
mate §12,285,000.
Alaska exported $4,244,600 in copper this year.
The greatest tragedy in the lives of poor people is not
sickness or unhappiness, but loss of work.
A dispute has arisen on the relative merits of beer
and wine as a beverage. Never mind the debatable ques
tion, bring us both.
Dr. Hrdlika perdicts that evolution will produce a
man without big toes. It would sound more cheering if he
had designated the one where the corns develop.

Sourdough Bill had another one
of his Northland secrets exposed
yesterday by his half brother Sam.
It appears that the top of Sour
dough Bill’s shack has been adorn
ed with an unusually long chimney
or smokestack. Sourdough Bill,
after confiding in Sam, told him
that he had the long smokestack
on so that in case it snowed real
heavy that Sourdough Bill could
locate his cabin by the smokestack
and thus dig a trench to the door
and let himself in to partake in
some dried salmon, moose steak,!
and other Alaskan edibles.

BOMBAY, Dec. 28. (/P)—'This city !
is fomenting with revolters just as •
in the former days of the disobed
ience campaign against British rule
j in India and much trouble has been
encountered in handling the rioters
who are holding protest meetings

general strikes.
Meanwhile, rebel groups, number

ing troops to fire upon them. Eight,

Shirts” have been declared an un

hru, commander in chief of the
