TALK WE LIKE TO HEAR
It warms the carkles of the heart when a man comes up
* to our country on a visit and not only enjoys himself
but gets our viewpoint right off the reel and isn't afraid
to say so. We are still warmly disposed to the entire
world because we have just talked to J. A. Pilkington of
the big Santa Cruz Seaside company, the Casa del Rey
Hotel and the Casino at Santa Cruz, California, who has
just returned from a trip to Fairbanks. It is his first tour
of Alaska and he says its a humdinger. But this is what
made us like the Californian.
‘Tm a more patriotic American than ever,” said Pil
kington, “because Pve just been over the Alaska Railroad.
That has been an inspiration to me. I thought it a great
thing that Uncle Sam should put up that money to build
that railroad to develop this great country, and I was
proud of him. Then I reflected that Congress has from
time to time grown churlish with childish bickerings be
cause the Alaska Railroad showed a paltry million dollar
deficit in operation. Well sir, after seeing Alaska and that
country which the Alaska Railroad penetrates, I’m sur
prised, and my patriotism gets right up on its hind legs
and says to these bickerers, ‘tush, tush’, be thyself, know
thyself, know the country, know something about Alas
ka, get away from the horse's head, and if the Alaska
Railroad is short a million give it two million and cheer
the boys up!
“Think of it! Uncle Sam will spend as much on two
battleships as the Alaska Railroad cost, and the upkeep
is greater! I'm for battleships all right, but believe me
Pm for the Alaska Railroad, and when I get back Pm go
ing to tell the boys to boost her and the Territory along
and if they hear any congressman whimpering about
spending a few million dollars to help develop one of the
greatest countries on earth, to start the recall at once.”
So here's to Pilkington—long may he wave!
The man with backbone buys mining stocks, for he
knows that great speculative profits are possible in that
kind of stock.

There is no extravagance in
these delectable dishes when
you make them with Carna
tion Milk. It costs only a
third as much as whipped
cream. Alaskan women find
it as valuable in the home as
their “partners” do in camp
or on trail.

Traffic bound travelers who have
found themselves stranded in Seward
because of lack“of steamer accommo
dations may cheer up with the an
nouncement that the S. S. Victoria
of the Alaska Steamship company
will be in the Port of Seward next
Sunday or Monday on her return
from False Pass.
. This is in the nature- of a specml
trip for the Victoria and it will cer
tainly remove the pressure here, ac
cording to J. H. Flickinger, local
agent of the company, who for days
I had been besieged by anxious voya
gers who could not get bookings.
The crisis was brought about, it is
said by the early closing of the can
ning season at about the peak time
cf the tourist traffic. Sewardites
have not been displeased since it has
compelled a prolonged visit. 01 the
part of many sojourners who have
been so favorably impressed that they
may come back to become residents.
W. D. Fuller and Harry Brown,
homesteaders near Riddiford at the
lower end of Kenai Lake, were in
town Saturday buying supplies. They
leport things prosperous in their
section and took on plenty of grub to
prove it.
