CARIBOU AND REINDEER FOR THE WORLD
When the flood of population in the empire of the United
"" States can go no longer westward it will come to Alas
ka. Not only has The Gateway dealt on this subject at
various times but is interesting to note the Los Angeles
Timees believes the same thing.
The professor goes on and speaks of herds of rein
ifornia informs us that in Alaska sufficient beef-produc
ing animals—reinder, caribou, yaks, and crosses between,
can be raised to supply the need of America for years to
come, thus putting to flight the pessimists who would soon
leave nonvegetarians without a single juicy steak or roast
owing to the rapid increase in population in America and
exhaustion of supply.
The profeessor goes on and speaks of herds of rein
deer and caribou, hundreds of thousands of them that
thrive on the moss and grasses of Alaska. This is remini
scent of the cheering statements of Stefansson, who as
serted that millions of reindeeer could thrive anywhere
on the prairie lands of the North.
But the Lomen brothers of Nome are not content to
await the swing of the tide of popuation northward but
have begun taking reindeer meat South setting an exam
ple of industry which can be developed in the meantime.
Alaska can supply the beef of the world and some day
will!
DRILLED SAVED PUPILS
The importance of fire drill in schools was strikingly il
lustrated recently when a four-room schoolhouse at
Oak Grove, Ala., was burned the first day of the season
on which stoves were put into service.
Due to the fact that fire drills had been held twice
weekly since the beginning of the term, the 175 pupils
were safely gotten out of the building, which a few min
utes later was a mass of smoldering ashes.
This ever present peril, particularly in frame build
ings, emphasizes the responsibility of school boards and
teachers, who should see that proper exits are. provided
and that pupils are thoroughly drilled in reaching them
in a quiet and orderly manner. Hundreds of children have
met death in horrible form through lack of these precau
tions.
Now comes the action of the Danish goverment in dis
patching a new colony to Southern Greenland for the pur
pose of reviving the fish industry that once flourished in
that section a little matter of a thousand years ago. The*
results will be noted with interest by Alaskans.
It is a curious historical fact that the five Presidents
of the United States who died in office were elected in
1840,1860,1880,1900 and 1920, at 20 year intervals.. Won
der if this peculiar circumstance will cause any supersti
tions aspirants to say “I do not choose to run in 1940.”
All the same, when the Democratic machine starts
out for some place it will have as one of its drivers a man
by the name of Me Adoo. '
Now that the pomologists have perfected a seedless
grapefruit all that remains to be done now is.to develop
it for automatic flood control.
Now that Constance Talmadge has received another
divorce, this time in Scotland, all she can hope for is a
thrifty alimony stipend.
The Literary Digest says A1 Smith’s sun is rising in
the West. Isn’t'there anything at all that’s quite right
and logical about that boom?
Some men seem to think they are presidential timber
merely because they pine for the job.

DIED THIS MIC !
| AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS
Death from chronic heart trouble
| caused the death at 6 o’clock -this 1
J morning of Joseph McGurr, age 52,
said to have been Alaska’s best chef.
For a number of days past, in fact
since he arrived in town from Moose
Pass where he had been cooking thru
out the summer for the Bureau of
Public Roads construction camp, Joe
had been a very sick man and night
before last it was though* he would
pass away. Together with the heart i
trouble which he had been afflicted ;
with since childhood, he was a suf- l
ferer from asthma; he could no longer
combat the two ailments today and
after a long night of suffering joined
the ranks of the many other oldtimers
who have gone on the last trail this
year.
Arrangements were being made by
friends this afternoon as to his funer
al and no doubt an announcement will
be made tomorrow.
Joe was one of those type of men
whom everyone had a sincere liking.
His door was always wide open; to the
passerby; and he could sure cook.
A number of his friends dropped in
to The Gateway office today asking
that a few kind words be said of him
but what more could be said then
what everyone knew; that he was a
mighty fine scout and his swarm of
friends will grieve at his sudden pass
ing.
Joe was preparing to leave for Lake
Kenai, when he was taken sick, there
to spend the winter.
Alternately, Dr. Baughman and Dr.
Alcorn, attended him but all their ef
forts were useless; everything that
I could be done to help Joe was done
i but it was time for him to go and he
Beparted with the familiar smile on his
face which all will remember.
VILMA BAZANT HOME
Vilma Bazant, talented violinist, and
mother, who have been spending a few
|days at the Kenai lake lodge of Mr.
and Mrs. Otto Schallerer, have return
led home. During their stay in Sew
!ard, prior to their departure for
Europe, they have taken an apartment
in the Arcade Apartments.

ANCHORAGE TEACHERS
GIVE BIG Pm TO
lit GUESTS IN HOTEL
Last Friday evening, in the Anchor,
age hotel at Anchorage, the school
teachers got together and gave a rous
ing party to the guests of the hotel in
which were included the court party.
From the local report, brought over
Saturday, it was certainly an enjoya
ble affair everyone having a wonderful
time. In the shadow of the gigantic
and marvelous oil painting of Mount
McKinley, by Sydney Laurence, danc
ing held sway until a late hour. At
the midnight hour a delicious array of
refreshments were served. As The
Gateway’s informant said, “These
Alaskan school teachers are wonders.”
Come all ye inmates, fellow citz and
nitwits! The warden will unlock the
cells at 8:30 o’clock Friday evening
October 21, and throw the key away!
AH jailers gather in the main corri
dor and we will enjoy a “fancy high
ball”. Wear something ftfll and
