WHAT IS THIS THING, “HAPPINESS?”
Like a dog chasing his tail, many persons have an odd
-way of chasing that will o’ the wisp, happiness. They get
so all-fired excited in the chase that they catch up with
it and pass it and never know they had it. Or maybe its
like the mule following the bag of oats suspended in front
of his nose, who will trample down a whole field of clover
in the vain pursuit.
In the old days of the bonanza gold camps in Alaska,
it was not so hard to understand. Men toiled and suffered
to get their pokes full of dust while their bellies creased
and cankered with beans and sourdough. The main idea
was the big stake for a hiyu time Outside; plenty of corn
fed gals, real horn music, milk from the pan, eggs from
the cackle, beer from the stein; bright lights and plenty
of ’em; maybe a round in one of these new-fangled gas
buggies.
Even in our young life—20 years ago in Fairbanks—
we recall seeing them come in from the creeks, lean and
bearded, eyes aglitter. Sudden riches, old desires come to
quick life.
They went to find happiness. And, after a brief and
hectic period of headache and disillusionment, they were
back once more, grubbing away again, but this time, by
the eternal gods, their stake wTould go into a farm or an
orchard to cheer the declining years.
Sure its an old story. And its being told over and
over again in Alaska right to this day. People still cling
to that early idea that Alaska could not be a region of
homes wherein happiness might dwell. It w7as only a cold
storehouse of wealth where you could take your stake and
go elsewhere to spend it in an abortive effort to find hap
piness.
But let’s get down to cases. Take another look at
your hole card. What have they really got Outside that
you pine for that you cannot get here? Do you mean to
say that you would take the blistering heat of Montana, or
Utah, or Dakota or Texas or the rattling blizzards and
match your dollar ways with their two-bit methods?
Would you like to go to California and play around in
the sun-kist passtachios and then hump yourself into the
breadline when your stake gave out?
This thing called happiness cuts seven ways from the
deuce. There are many things to be considered including
climate and people and opportunity. You can get any
climate you want in Alaska; their are no friendlier or
more onen-hearted people on earth and surely their is no
richer land of opportunity than in this northern empire.
So why hastily gather your few measly ducats here
and hasten forth to pose for a brief period as “that weal
thy Alaskan,” grabbing the dinner check and paying the
taxi bandit, only to sneak back chastined with your tail
between your legs, mighty glad to greet your old and
real friends. Better marry and settle down here with
your own flowers on your own doorstep, a rainbow trout
for breakfast and a mountain sheep cutlet for dinner.
A real party man is one who remembers what and
why were the issues in the last campaign.
If you want to curb a naturally curious disposition,
begin by throwing the Congressional Record into the
wastebasket unopened.
Judp'inp' from reports and rumors making the rounds
it appears an epidemic tms at last reached our fair city:
an epidemic of spring fever.
