At this time it would be well to remember Alaska
has no stauncher friend at Washington, D. C. then Sec
retary of Commerce Herbert Hoover. With such a man
in the Presidential chair, and a new delegate from Alas
ka to Congress, regardless of whom it might be just so
long as it is anyone but the present one, can anyone doubt
for a moment but what a combination of that sort is
bound to help the development of Alaska!
As long as we are in this Nicaragua mixup why not
send a few marines to all the countries in the world and
create our own League of Nations? Why pick on Nicar
agua alone. It is the opinion of most of us common guys
that these altruistic world-fixing methods are of no con
cern of America. Let others run their own country. We
have plenty of trouble at home; the battle of Chicago, for
instance.
A blind man in Kansas City is involved in a divorce
suit. Probably as a result of not keeping an eye on his
wife.
Representative. Hull, Democrat from Tennessee, is
of the opinion that the United States should establish the
‘‘greatest naval base in the world’’ at Pearl Harbor. Mr.
Hull might change his mind if he had the opportunity to
look Resurrection Bay over.
Lest some may forget this prohibition stuff is not an
original idea of Senor Volstead; oh my no! Savannah,
Georgia, tried it out 193 years ago and it fell with an aw
ful flop. There’s nothing new under the sun, brother.
Evolution is said to have produced a new kind of
weasel in Louisiana, but the critter is not likely to cross
the Mississippi line.
Some bright correspondent around Fort Yukon re
cently sent out a story to the effect an immense herd of
buffalo, somewhere around 50,000 of them, were cruis
ing around up there. Well fer goodness sake!
Sidney Horler, an English writer, who made a brief
visit to our shores recently, writes of his impressions, one
of which is that “Amercan wromen are beautiful, but
cold.” Which leads to suspect that Sidney is not so hot,
either. - .

COYOTES ONE REACHED
Just about three-years ago the re
i
port came from the Interior that
coyotes had crossed over the Yukon |
river, from Canada, and were head- j
cd toward the Interior districts of1
Alaska. Two years ago coyotes were |
first seen in the Fairbanks country; j
last year trappers reported the pre
sence of the animals above the In
let. Today, they are in the Seward
vicinity.
Word of the arrival of the prairie
wolf of the North»American conti
nent, -jyas brought to The Gateway
last evening from Mile 36. Three
coyotes were seen out there; one
was shot, another caught in a trap,
| but the third escaped.
