FALLING LIKE THE LEAVES
It seems that every Alaskan paper coming to The Gate
* way office-lately contains accounts of the passing of
oldtimers, the pioneers who gave their best years to the
Territory. One cannot read of these sturdy men taking
the “last trail” without a thought of the tremendous good
they have accomplished- Though their material gain
could not have been much yet most of them were always
provided with the necessities of life/ enjoyed themselves
occasionally, and were four-square men in dealing with
their fellowmen. Generous to a fault, and kind, they
would give you the shirt off their back if they thought you
needed it.
The old order of things change and we wonder, as we
write these few lines, if the new crop of oldtimers will be
of the fine caliber of these splendid veterans who daily
are “falling like autumn leaves.”
It's a good thing the Naval oil reserves in Alaska are
in the barren wastes of the Arctic for perhaps these pesky j
oil men might gobble them up too; then we might have
another Alaskan scandal.
Alva Starr of the Navy has a great record for effi- j
ciency. He has made 105 parachute jumps and never
once failed to reach the ground.
A Congressional committee is trying to simplify tax
ing methods. When they get that worked out they might
try simplifying methods for getting the money to pay
the tax.
Pigamy brides in New Guinea must have one joint of
a forefinger cut off upon getting married. But she pro
bably manages to twist her husband around the stump
that is left.
Judging from some of the suggested presidental tim
ber, what the two great parties need is a reforestation
program.
Dry Feet-Dry Shoes
Dry Feet mean comfort. Dry Shoes mean
money saved, for soaking ruins leather—as
you probably know by costly experience.
Protect your feet and save your shoes with
long-wearing “Ball-Band” Rubbers.

Ball Trade Mark on the sole. Our customers who

THE WAMCAT
The Signal Corps Is contemplating
raising funds for the purchase of a
beautiful loving cup to be known as
the “Signal Corps Trophy,” for pre
sentation to the winner of the ann
| ual dog derby being held at Fair
I banks under auspices of the Fair
| banks Kennel Club. The silver loving
1 cup will become the permanent pos
! session of the first successful person
! to win three races. The name of
the winner will be engraved each
season upon the cup and without a
doubt this cup will .become more
famous than the famous Borden Cup
of Nome.
The donating of this trophy once
again proves the sterling sportsman
ship of the Signal Corps in Alaska.

ESPRE DE CORPS
A wonderful tribute from one
branch of Uncle Sam’s service to
another:
Much credit and honor is due to
the Signal Corps for the no small
part they play in the everyday ser
vice of communication between iso
lated points in the interior of Alas
ka and civilization.
| In many places their stations are
| the sole means of law and justice
j and a haven of rest and comfort to
| the weary traveller or prospector
; and in many respects compare fa
vorably with their more famous cou
sin of the Royal Northwest Mounted
Police.
What a vast, beautiful, but deso
late land, our fair Alaska would be,
when our long winter spreads its
hoary mantle over the great Interior,
were it not for these same Signal
Corps men who, no matter whether
it sleets or the snow falls 10-foot ,
deep, or the thermometer falls to 70
j below zero, carry on just as though, ■
! it were, an every day occurence.
| Captain Ralph R. Guthrie, S. C. Of
! ficer in Charge of this Corps of men,
i can well be proud of their great re
| cord of wonderful achievements, as
| they are loyal and devoted to him.
