ALASKA BECKONS
According to a mining engineer, just recently re
turned from the States, it would require several editions
of the average newspaper to carry the great numbei
get-rich-quick and sharper schemes that have come 1
the wake of the proposed Boulder Canyon dam pi eject,
proposed for the Colorado river. So numerous were the
assaults of the knights of sharp practices that it
sembled the“grifter” section of a county fair circus
where others were trying to crowd in with an entnely
new scheme for separating the public from its money.
One naturally wonders why all this wTasted eneigy
in concocting visionary schemes to make money when
there is a great empire, teeming with resources otter
ing the promoter any one of hundreds of legitimate en
terprises for his exploitation.
But maybe Alaska is like one of the wildcat pro
motions. It demands wildly extravagant propaganda
calculated to fever the brain of the avaricious to put
over a big swindle. Maybe Alaska has been too modest
in its claims. And again, maybe the resurrection of ear
lyday history, with its tragedies, adventures and hard
ships that still deter the seeker for new opportunties.
Alaska has more gold that was taken from its grav
els, more copper than the Kennecott ever possessed
prospects that, according to accredited engineers, make
the Kennecott at this day look like a mere prospect
gold ledges capable of developing another Treadwell;
lead and silver deposits of immense richness only wait
ing the coming of capital to make another Coeur d Alene
tin deposits, placer copper running from shot-size nat
ive metal to two ton nuggets, oil-bearing zones of im
mense areas, timber to be had in the hundreds of square
miles areas, fisheries resources independent of salmon
canning far exceeding that industry in possibilities, fer
tile farm lands, coal areas carrying 50-foot seams
ranging from lignite to anthracite. Coupled with this is
a choice of climate equal to that of the northern States,
ranging from temperate to as cold as an Eskimo de
sires it.
And yet men wth skilled, if twisted brains, buzz
like mosquitos about a camp fire, playing right up to
prison doors with visionary schemes, when all this
guarantees wealth for all, not the least of whom is the
man whose dollars are directed to these resources.
There was a time when we gladly payed $15 a
pint for champagne and the girls were willing to give
a dance for the percentage. On the Volstead likker
we can’t even dance, let alone seeing girls.
Its a good idea to get airplanes in the Territory, j
May be a man won’t have to stay in jail for a year j
before a jury can find out whether or not he is guilty, j
Over to the Westward they say that many odd,
foreign pieces of timber drift in. So far we haven’t i
found the names of Lenine or Trotzky on them so j
perhaps it isn’t a Bolshevik invasion.
Who said the age of heroics has passed? Look at
the flappers holding their own against mosquitos.

Maybe the dispatching of the fox farm veterinarian
to Fairbanks wras for the purpose of discovering wheth
er that super-annuated yak had adnoids or was just
pining for the noise of a Chinese band.
Having already the noiseless airplane, we may look
forward to noiseless soup and celery.
A French statician says a man of 50 years of age
has spent 6,000 days in sleep, worked 6,500 days, walk
ed 800 days, spent 1,500 days in bed, enjoyed amuse
ment 4,000 days and was sick 500 days. He forgot
to enumerate the time a prospector consumes in try
ing to find the long way of a store quilt.
