LAST NIGHT’S MOON
We all have a distant acquaintance with the Man in
the Moon. Last night we saw him again; his generally
mildly-beaming countenance, somewhat resembling a
disappointed and discouraged office-seeker.
Nations rise and fall; the Tower of Babel crumbles
to dust; Alexander conquers the world only to have
‘ Mark Anthony step up to the plate and cast it away as
a worthless bauble in order to bask in the sensuous
• splendor of Cleopatra’s treacherous eyes; the wjorld war
killed millions of our young; floods and typhoons engulf
hundreds of thousands; millions of unemployed; star
vation in a land of plenty!
The Man in the Moon last night must have been
thinking how often he had witnessed similar scenes. If
the Man in the Moon could only speak; the things he
might tell us! How the world’s history would be revised
and our pantheon of heroes and galaxy of saints trans
formed.
CANNERY FIRE REGRETTABLE
The wiping out by fire Thursday of the two-line
cannery and dock of the Trinity Packing Company at
Three Saints Bay, is regrettable. It is estimated that
the plant represented an investment of at least $100,000
and it was, undoubtedly, partly covered by insurance.
An Alaska cannery consumed by flames is a rarity
due to the great precaution taken by owners; in many
instances the fire department of some of these Alaskan
fish packers are as extensive and modern as found in
large towns.
The Trinity Packing Company was owned by people
in the States and though somewhat remote from Sew
ard, considerable local business came here from them as
well as to Cordova. It is presumed that during the win
ter a new plant will arise from the ashes of the old.
UNCERTAINTY BLOCKS PROGRESS
“Uncertainty has paralyzed progress in the Philip
pines,” declared Senator Hawes returning to San Fran
cisco the other day from a several weeks’ visit to the
islands. “Congress should clarify the situation,” he
added. That’s alright for our brown-skinned brothers
in the Pacific; we wish them luck, but what about our
white-skinned brothers in Alaska? Both the Philippines
and Alaska suffer from the same malady—Federal bu
reaucracy and red tape. Uncertainty is an apt word;
it covers the entire situation. One never knows what
the 57 varieties of bureaucrats are going to do from one
day to another.
PLENTY OF ROOM
There is nothing in the States but what can be
found in Alaska. People in the States view Alaska as
an adventurer’s land, where big bears roam at will and
gold can be dug with a thumb nail, entirely overlooking
the varied opportunities found in all frontier countries.
What Alaska needs more than anything else is popu
lation, young or old, it makes no difference. Surely
those imbued with the pioneer spirit of our fore-fathers
can likewise carve out independent homes in Alaska.
There is wfaod in everyone’s backyard for the taking,
fresh meat in the hills and fish in the sea; crops of all
kinds may be cultivated and ample timber found for
homes. Regarding wearing apparel, well, if one gets
down to a “G” string, there are hides and wool.
