NOW UP TO THE COUNCILS
Some discussion has taken place relative to an am
passed at the recent session of the Alaska Legislature
concerning radio interference. As stated by Senator A.
J. Dimond, in answer to a question at a recent meeting
of the Seward Chamber of Commerce, the Legislature
merely amended the municipal code of Alaska so as to
authorize the common councils of incorporated cities,
by ordinance, to prevent radio interference. The act in
question. Chapter 32 of the Session Laws of Alaska of
the year 1929, reads as follows:
“Be it enacted by the Legislature of the Territory of Alaska:
Section 1. That Section 12 of Article 111 of Chapter 97 of the
Session Laws of Alaska, 1923, be, and the same is hereby amended by j
adding thereto after the eighteenth subdivision of said Chapter 12,
the following:
“Nineteenth: To take action by ordinance to minimize radio in
terference and to regulate the use of violet ray machines, X-ray,
machines, open or quenched spark machines, or machines using Tes
la coil of principle, and any and all machines including or incorpor
ating a device producing high frequency oscillation, and any and all
machines and appliances that may interfere with radio reception
and transmission; and to provide for the issuance of necessary per
mits for the use of such machines and appliances ”
Section 2. An emergency is hereby declared to exist and this
Act shall be in full force and effect from and after the date of its
passage and approval.”
Approved April 22, 1929.
The matter is, therefore, really up to the common
councils of the several cities of Alaska. They now have
the necessary power to control if they wish to exercise it-1
Our readers may wonder why we have had so!
much to say about Kodiak and the Westward during
the past year. The answer is simple. Seward is just as
much the Gateway to that vast Westward Empire as it
is to the Alaska Railroad and th elnterior.
IT IS DIFFERENT NOW
Everybody had better get set for that bunch of
home-seeking tourists that the Alaska Railroad is bring
ing in next month. That will be fine so we’ll have to
think up a new line of patter. Instead of talking about
glaciers a mile high and moose with a 10-foot spread,
we’ll have to look the potato in the eye and learn his
innermost secrets.
And speaking of the possible homesteader up here
the unvarnished truth is best. He won’t have anywhere
near the hardships our forefathers suffered in con
quering the West
Yes sir, its a funny world after all. One hundred
million dollars changed hands on the English derby
while many men and women traveled the weary flag
stones of London, penniless and hungry
Miss Jeanette Wood and Thomas Sawyer of Mobile,
Ala., were wTed by Rev. Theodore Knott. This sounds
like a timber merger.
We could stand superior people if they didn’t
insist on reminding us of their superiority.
By industry and thrift an able bodied citizen may
accummulate almost as much as the average street
beggar.

I
: INTO THREE PERIODS
I DECLARES PHYSIGIJSN
—
I NEW YORK, Aug., 1, UP)—Man’s
life is divided into three periods by
Dr. A. I. Ringer, New York physi
cian.
The first he calls the regenera
tive period, lasting the first 20 j
years, when food consumption is!
.always greater than requirements,
and manifests itself by growth.
The second is approximately from
;20 to 40 when “all the faculties
iand functions are at their best.”
Powers to resist infection and oth
er hardships are greatest.
The third is the degenerative!
period, which he says begins about
40, being ushered in by a gradual
decline in ability to do hard physi- j
cal work. The diseases that are!
I likely to afflict man then come
jfrom within, from degenerative
j causes, rather than from infections
from outside, Dr. Ringer said. i
William Koutoneles, also known ,
as Koreonely, age 60, died at Cor- i
dova after an illness of several!
months. Heart trouble was given)
as the immediate cause of death.
Koutoneles was a fisherman for the !
New England Fish Co.
PROFITS IN TOMATOES
JACKSONVILLE, Tex., Aug., 1, |
(/P)—Texas tomatoes bring wealth
to a restricted section of less than
half a dozen counties. This year’s
crop brought nearly $2,500,000, with
the price almost double over that
of last year.
OFFICIALS ON TOUR 1
Robert Roy Welker, city passen
ger agent at Chicago, for the Alas- *
ka Railroad, brought his first “Pa
cific Northwest and Alaskan Trav
els” tour north on the steamer Yu- <
kon to Cordova. Welker had 23 in
his party, which was planned and
organized thru the efforts of the !
Alaska Railroad officials. His party j (
is making the Golden Belt tour by ;
way of Cordova and will probably
arrive in Seward Saturday from the j
Interior.
CANNOT ALTER ORDERS J
WASHINGTON, Aug., 1, (JP)—
President Hoover cannot legally
alter executive orders issued by ,
former President Coolidge for regu- <
lating food relief along the Miss
issippi river, Attorney-General
Mitchel declared. \

„ WILLOUGHBY DELAYED
Barrett Willoughby and her
mother, Mrs. C. L. Willoughby, left
I the steamer Yukon at Wrangell

summer. Barrett is now on an Al
askan tour to obtain a background
for her next novel.
