WAITING FOR THE OTHER FELLOW
Among the evils which have emerged with the gen
eral national situation is the tendency for the average
man to await the leadership of the other fellow. Former
President Hoover had this in mind when he propounded
the philosophy of “nigged individualism.”
But how many men are courageous enough to strike
out on their own, relying upon their own judgment!
A clear illustration of this attitude of dependency has
recentlv come to light in the Willow Creek mining dis
trict. The U. S. Geological Survey announces that the
mineral bearing belt extends northward to the basin of
Purchase, Little Willow, Peter’s Creek and the Kashwit
na. with possibilities of discovery of paving lodes.
Yet, during the many years that the Willow Creek dis
trict has been known and worked intermittently by pros
pectors with little capital but feeble effort has been made
to exnloit the rich gold lodes among the public and attract
investing capital from abroad.
There is no more certain method to concentrate Alas
ka’s golden wealth into the hands of a few big organiza
tions" than this waiting until the Geological Survey an
nounces that there are mining possibilities here and there.
What is needed is prospectors working in partner
ship with men who will keep them in food and urgent ne
cessities. Then we will see many payrolls and many rich |
districts opened for the benefit of all.
Good government is the product of a well informed
citizenship.
Since Chicago held one exposition in 1893 and
another in 1933, we may gauge the approach of a depres
sion merely by awaiting the announcement that racket
eers propose to give the hot dog and souvenir branch of
the industry a show at the pot.
We know a bolshevist who is kicking on the low price
of furs, yet preaches annihilation of sugar daddies and I
chorines.
In completing the forestry course many a young;
man will discover that the word “graft” should apply j
solely to trees.
Now if we had less logrolling in legislatures and
Congress and more of it accompanied by hard cider and
a handspike, followed by a barbecue, we would almost
reapproach the original America.

Big Moose Herd
Was Sighted On
Recent Local Hunt
If you want a moose and have
been unsuccessful in former hunts,
page Guide Frank Towle and it
will not be long before you will be
the proud possessor of a neat pair
of moose horns to grace that bare
* spot on the wall of the home.
This much was revealed in the
recent hunt of Rev. J. A. Wilemski
with Guide Towle, in the Juneau
Flats area of the great Kenai pen
insula.
Reverend Wilemski, who is sup
erintendent of a large Catholic
school in 'Detroit, and who came
all the way to Alaska for a big
game hunt, also hunted beyond
the Rainy Pass section, north of
Anchorage and on Kodiak Island.
But not until he tied up with
Guide Towle, was he able to even
catch a glimpse of a monarch of
the Alaska wild.
Arriving in Seward from the'
Westward October 21, Reverend
Wilemski and Towle left for the
lower lake country and within a
few days ran across a moose herd
numbering 27 animals. This was
in marked contrast to the Rever
end’s earlier mose hunt when he
failed to sight more than a cow
and calf moose. It was a lucky
break for the visitor.
He picked out a magnificent
specimen of a bull moose which
he flattened with three effective
shots. The horns measured better
than 60 inchs; a photograph show
ing Towle holding the horns up
ended, aptly reveals the length
of the trophy. Mr. Towle is over
six feet tall and the horns, upend
ed, are nearly the same hight.
Insanity Resulted
At Initiation Rites
EDMONTON, Alberta, Oct. 31, —
An award of $56,860 and costs was
made by Justice W. C. Ives, of the
| Supreme Court, to C. H. A. Powlett

; suit against the University of Al
berta.
The University charged Armand
became insane as a result of ini-1
tiation ceremonies to the univer-;
sity last year. The initiation tooki
the form of a mock trial during
which young Powlett was subjected J
to various indignities because hei
refused to comply in repeating!
certain quotations.

Lower Kenai Lake
Is
Hens will cackle on Caribou
land this winter.
H. A. Anderson, one of the gal
axy of expert big game guides, has j
been busy for some days past get-!
ting his winter’s supplies down the
Kenai river in preparation for
trapping.
Included in his outfit is a coop of
white leghorns from Howard
Long’s splendid strain of egg pro
