THE ALASKANS
Alaskans are great travelers. They sure are. They
come with the grass in the Spring time and leave with
the geese and the clucks in the Fall. The hotel keepersm
the States wear diamonds and live on truffles and pate de
foie gras in the Spring and Fall and send their wives to
Europe through the Summer on Alaskan money. Alas
kans to not ask what the fare is from here to Seattle, but
inquire what the waiter costs. They tip lavishly and un
wisely and return C. 0. D. The money spent by oui fiist
families would pay off the Territorial debt and provide
a handsome war bonus for our disabled soldiers.
Alaskans are noted for their fine display of nugget
jewelry and for giving four bits for twenty cents worth
of service. They may also be distinguished by their ore
samples.
When Seattle was discovered by Jim Hill in 1897, it
was rebuilt and furnished by Alaska money. At this time
it was a sleepy little village, and so slow that when a boat
arrived, the steamer captains sent their whistles in by
mail a day or so ahead of time so that the citizens would
have time to get down to the wharf. Things have changed
now. The town is up and coming.
Seattleites have the notion that Alaskans sleep with
their clothes on to keep from taking a bath. Every wo
man clerk thinks she is the first female he has seen for
a score of years and restaurant keepers hunt up the im
aginary diet of hot. cakes and beans. By the time the visi
tor has overcome these notions he is ready to return
North in the Spring.
Can truck garden produce be grown successfully in
Alaska? Perhaps Secretary Wallace does not think so but
what would he say if he learned that down in Juneau
some years ago was grown a giant stalk of rhubarb from
which 100 pies were made, or that up at Matanuska a
potato was hollowed out for a family bathtub?
Scientists have yet to determine how many odors are ,
contained in an Alaskan skunk cabbage. We will welcome '
an investigation on this.
Alaska is an ocean no Congressional line can plumb.
If youth were not ignorant and timid, civilization:
would be impossible.
In Morocco the goats climb trees. Hence no stock mar
ket cleanups in Morocco.
In China, after a fire they pour a bucket of water j
oyer the occupant of the house while in Japan, after a I
fire, they count the dead Chinamen.
The Seattle Chamber of Commerce is looking for
trade in Alaska. Alright, we’ll trade ’em a few millions
in virgin gold for the machinery to extract it with.
. The latest fad in Gandhi’s undies listed in the adver
tisements as “negligibles.”

CABINET RESIGNS
MADRID. Sept. 9. —Spain's pol
itical circles were agog today over (
the resignation of the Spanish I

perately sought to get an entering j
wedge into the government but !
the Spanish constitution provides i
that a republican coalition cab- j
inet must be selected to succeed

will leave the Socialists out. A
new coalition cabinet is expected !
to be named within a few days.
