SODL OF NORTHUND
"There is so much of Alaska—so
much of charm and beauty that its
very immensity staggers the facul
ties,” says Mrs. A. Myers, who with j
Mr. Myers, is a guest at the Overland
hotel, after a tour of the Interior dur
ing which time they spent a week at
Fairbanks.
Mrs. Myers is a talented literary wo
man and a contributor to many mag
azines, whose home is now in Seattle,
but she was formerly a resident of
Galion, Ohio, where she spent her
girlhood.
Instinctively Mrs. Myers has dis
covered the soul of Alaska. It lies in
the great human touch, as she ex
presses it—the wonderful scenic beau
ty is but a background against which
is set down the realities as she dis
covered them in her contact with the
many people whom she has met during
her tour. These impressions will find
expression through her pen when she
returns to the States.
In analyzing Alaska Mrs. Myers
finds that beauty does not lie so much
in the thing itself as in the immortal
idea which shines through it. Hence
she has found in the Alaskan people
with whom she has come into contact
the fullest expression of human quali
ties—qualities which are. emblematic
of the spirit of the great Northland
and its true brotherhood of man.
M. S. DISCOVERER IN
FORT FROM WESTWARD
“The Discoverer is one of the finest
little seaworthy motorships I have
ever traveled on,” said Tom Dickin
son, of the roadbuilding force of the
Alaska Road Commission, who re
turned yesterday evening from Iliam
na, where he has been engaged in re
pairing the trail from Iliamna Bay to
Iliamna village.
“Not only is the Discoverer a won- j
derful seaworthy craft,” continued Mr.
Dickinson, “but her skipper, Heinie :
Berger, is one of the best I have
traveled with. It has been stormy
to the Westward and the Discoverer
. had to fight her way from Iliamna Bay
to Seward. The fine way in which Cap
tain Berger handled his ship and the
consideration he showed for his pas
sengers stamped him as a good skip
per.”
j Arriving on the same ship were C.
P. Hale, cannery official, "with Mrs.
Hale and son Alfred, who are bound
for the States.
SILVER FOX POISONED
Mrs. Earo Waali, wife of the owner
of the Starisky Silver Fox Farm, ai
Starisky, accompanied by Miss A.
Eloranta of Seldovia, arrived in Sew
ard on the S. S. Ctarr, for a week’s
visit. Mrs. Waali stated that during
the winter they had the misfortune to
lose four foxes through poisoning.
Analysis showed that strychnine had
been used.
WIDE-SPREADING LAWLESSNESS
"The mystery of lawlessness (ano
miu) doth already work” (2 Thess.
2:7,) said the Apostle in early days.
How much more in these last days*
In full control in the Soviet Repub
lics of Russia, with 145,000,000 of
people; in control in the vast area of
South China, capturing North China,
and not unlikely are ere long to con
trol the 400,000 000 of China; with
numerous “comrads” quietly awaiting
their time in India, which will be
next put to the test; too many sym
pathisers even in Britain. No won
der \he hearts of statesmen and oth
ers are “failing them for fear, for
these things that are coming o£ the
earth” (Luke 21:26.) The Christian
sees in all this a fulfillment of the
“sure word of Prophecy,” and “Stab
lishes* his heart,” realizing that “the
coming of the Lord draweth nigh”
(James 5:8.)
