MUGGING” BROWNIES
Hardly had the Juneau Empire’s Pequese finished taking the hide
off John Holzworth, wild president, of animal life, when it is whispered
that on and after July anyone carrying a camera, movie of sound, equip
ment essaying a journey into the haunts of the brown bear must be ac
companied by a guide.
This sorter puts a crimp into Stewart Edward White’s and Holz
worth's idea of setting aside a goodly portion of the Territory as a bear
sanctuary where idyllistic tourists may Snapshoot him to their heart’s
content. Whether it was for the purpose of safeguarding the father of
the snapshooting idea for posterity, or out of sympathy for the bear,
deponent sayeth not.
We once opposed this idea, but are for it with both feet. There
are multiple potentialities in it. At the start, it will be necessary to
transfer about half the U. S- Army to Alaska to chaperone the camera
brigade. If the States is becoming snooty over the pole-sitting record
think of how the conceit may be taken from them by producing the
champion SPRUCE SITTER! Of course, this will require a steamhsip
load or two of ladders with non-skid rungs. And, right on its heels will
come an army of osteopaths prepared to untwist the shooter’s ridge
pole or get his post and copping back on his sill set, not to mention
catching up his lagging. There is no reason for disputing that a man
who has not seen his knees for 12 years will be able to stick his club
bag into the hem of his breeks after smashing Olympic marathon rec
ords across a dozen miles of rugged landscape.
As there are not sufficient guides in Alaska to serve all tourist
parties, others who have walked every trail in th^ city parks will be re
cruited. These will serve to supply Brownie with white meat and ob
viate enforcement of the new rule, limiting him to three prospectors
per season.
So here we’ve been kicking about bureaus and all unconscious of
the fact that between the merger of the undertaking business, boost
to the lumber industry, ridding the breadlines of the osteopaths, along
with many communities of their outstanding nuisances—fat men—there
is the biggest stampede brewing since Carmack became converted to
capitalism. Even should it be a two-ring affair, with camera shooters
headed southward and spectators coming northward, we win.
THE NEW CHIEF ENGINEER
In the person of Porter Berryhill, who came to the Alsaka Railroad
this week as chief engineer, succeeding the late C. H. Holmes, comes
another veteran railroader of the West, and what should be a splendid
aide to Colonel Ohlson.
Mr. Berryhill comes from Missoula, Mont., where he has been con
nected with the Northern Pacific Railroad, in which system he has been
identified for more than 20 years.
In addition to Mrs. Berryhill, who arrived with the new chief engi
neer on the Yukon, came two bright children.
Thus in selecting the successor to Mr. Holmes, Colonel Ohlson has
chosen a man familiar with mountain and snow railroading, and one
calculated to fit in nicely in the operating family.
NEEDED IN SEWARD
The Juneau city council has approved a proposal to install a central
heating plant under a franchise for 25 years, to supply heat to all who
wish it
Which again brings up the idea that Seward should have just such
a plant. It reduces fire hazards, insures a steady supply of heat at less
cost than if provided by the individual and would reduce the expense
of removing ashes, not to mention the unsightly conditions of the alleys
each spring and the entailed cost of cleaning them.
Owing to lack of deep freezing and the absence of rock to be ex
cavated in laying steam pipes, the central heating plant would be ideal
for the city.
DESERVED PROMOTION
The announcement of the promotion of George W. Colwell to the
position of general roadmaster will be received with satisfaction by all
who know him. Mr. Colwell is a member of the Old Guard who saw the
railroad aborning, helped to complete it, and who has won his advance
ment by merit.
This tendency to recognize ability on the part of Colonel Ohlson
has gone far to make him one of the most popular general managers
the railroad has had in its history.
The Anchorage Times reports a new gold find, made by Dan Gray,
who is associated with Charles Laurius, Gus Swanson and A1 Hardy.
The find was made at Mile 14, on the Fishhook road, The property has
been passed by for the last 10 years, until Gray got curious. All of
which goes to show that search is all that is necessary to find gold.
To talk is allowable, and consequently it is not altogether so unbe
coming to be occasionally talkative; but garrulity, which arises from
the excessive desire of communicating, is a failing that is pardonable
only in the aged, wl o have generally much to tell. “Talkers are no good
doers.”—Richard III.
One of the results of the age of jazz is that there is an almost total
absence of obscene pictures imported from Japan and France. The
modern magazine makes it unnecessary.
It would be difficult to convince the Chinese that retrenching is a
logical economic step.
It looks as if British Columbia would be compelled to enact a tariff
law against Washington alcohol.

PREDATORY ANIMAL
CONTROL IN ALASKA
TO RE DISCONTINUED
Discontinuance at once of its
predatory animal control work in
the Territory is proposed by the
United States Biological Survey,
revealed in a telegram received by
Gov. George A. Parks from Paul G.
Reddington, chief of the bureau.
Lack of finances was assigned as
the reason.
R. H. Gubser, for several years
director of the local campaign
against predators, will be with
drawn from the Territory and as
signed to another district in the
States. Governor Parks expressed
regret at the decision but said
there was nothing the Territory
could do to prevent the action.
“Because of financial difficulties
confronting us this and next fiscal
year, it is not possible to carry on
the w’ork done by Mr. Gubser,” the
Governor was advised by Mr. Red
dington. “It is contemplated to j
remove him from Alaska at the i
earliest possible date.”
“We feel,” he added, “with the
contacts he has made with private
trappers and the written circulars
that have been sent throughout
| the Territory for taking predators,
we have accomplished all that can
be expected under the conditions.
Gubser’s work todate, plus increase
| in wolf bounty, should be a mater
j ial aid in stimulating desired in- j
I terest of private trappers.
“Should the Territory’s finances
again permit of direct cooperation
! with the bureau and you desire
continued cooperation with the bu
reau, we shall be glad to give this
consideration. I am sorry we are
unable to carry on any longer, but ;
finances make any other decision j
impossible at this time.”

' IIALIBUTER IN PORT
Bad weather forced the big hali
but boat Eldorado, Johnny John- j
son, master, to put into port early
this morning. The Eldorado hails
from Ketchikan and has fished
around the Portlock banks and vi
cinity and brought about 4,000 or
5,000 pounds of halibut to Seward.
The vessel does not intend to ship
the fish out of Seward.
WILL PACK CLAMS
Capt. Axel Olsvn, master and
owner of the MS Ruth C, returned
to port Sunday evening from Seat
tle. The veteran Alaska navigator
has clam canning machinery on
board and goes to Kodiak Island
where operations will begin. It is
reported he will shoot clams on
the wing all summer. Besides the
cannery outfit, Captain Olson has
a capacity cargo of general freight
including one automobile.
“From way out here in the Aleu
tians, we nightly tune in on K F
Q D , our own Alaskan station. Our
reception is excellent and almost
invariably we hear your fine pro
grams with remarkable volume
and clarity,” writes G. D. Drisko at
Sanak. [
