FRIENDS OF WILD LIFE
Everyone who loves animals and birds will rejoice
at a recent announcement concerning the Wild Life As
sociation, a new organization endowed by Joseph Palmer
Knapp, famous New York magazine publisher.
A most pleasing feature of the announcement is
that Senator Harry B. Hawes of Missouri will become
the active head of the organization at the expiration of
his term as United States Senator in March, 1933. In
he meantime he will direct the preliminary work of the
association.
Senator Hawes is one of the foremost figures in
the movement for wild life protection, being the author
of several wrorks on various phases of the subject, and
a representative of the Senate on the migratory bird
conservation commission. He is a widely knowm sports
man and an outstanding authority on wild life.
Mr. Knapp’s generosity in providing such a liberal
endowment for this important conservation movement
is most commendable, and it is fortunate that he will
have Senator Hawses in active control of the w!ork. The
efforts of these distinguished friends of American wild
life should have the hearty cooperation of press and
public.
J. C. Penney, head of a national chain of stores,
stated in a Seattle inter-view last week that the average
individual purchasing power was $407.53. In the State
of Washington the pro rata is $495.29. As The Gateway
pointed out a few days ago the pro rata purchasing
power of Alaskans amounts to approximately $700, which
is something for Outside firms, desiring to do business
in Alaska, to think about.
A recent Sunday edition of the Seattle Times pre
sented an excellent picture of two Aleutian Island na
tives, Chief IVIakary Zoachney, head of the Atka tribe,
and his daughter, Princess Zoachney. They were shown
displaying a couple of the famed Atka baskets. Dressed
in modern garb, people in the States should have a new
conception of what the real Alaska is, after seeing that
picture. Both were creditable examples of the native
Alaskans living in the Far West.
Wonder what punishment Congress will next inflict
upon the people of the railroad belt because the citizens
refuse to rend their garments and run their noses in the
sand? While visiting Congressional parties are in Al
aska, a new wave of hope permeates the majority but
when cold thought comes, conjecture is over-ripe.
Let it be hoped now that the big barge Lawrence is
again in commission that Chas. Goodall, prominent busi
ness man of Cordova who will load his craft with Alaska
coal for Cordova, will be given every encouragement
from Alaskans in the matter of purchasing Alaska coal
and that this new branch of the industry may grow so
rapidly that it will be absolutely necessary coal bunkers
be erected in Seward at once.
Jonah was the prototype of the modern panic-build
er; facile princeps of chronic kickers;the high priest of
professional calamity howlers. And the whale got him.
Our other defenses may be weak, but the Senate
will always provide means for a powerful gas offensive.
From the appearance of the local flood Waters this
side of Woodrow, prospective homesteaders should build
their cabins on scows; a sort of Noah’s Ark, so to speak.

GLACIER'S 1ETRERT MAK
i GIVE C11KDIA PART

Will the retreat of Grand Pacific
Glacier eventually give the Do
minion of Canada port in the
heart of the Alaska Panhandle?
This has been the principal topic
of conversation among glaciolo
gists who visited the Territory this
summer and the point has not
been relegated into the discard yet
Rumors that Canadians contem
plate the establishment of a tour
ist resort at the head of Grand
Pacific Inlet have been rife ol
late, says the Juneau Empire.
The question was put to J.’ P
i Forde, divisional engineer for the
department of Public Works oi
Canada, who arrived in Juneau
recently.
“We have had our eyes on
Grand Pacific for some time—since
1925, at least,” Mr. Forde said;
“but just what use we can make
of the three-quarters of a mile
of land which retreating glacier
has left for us is yet to be deter
mined.”
During the summer of 1925, a
party of surveyors found that
Grand Pacific Glacier, which has
been trying for a good many years
to decide whether it wanted to be
an Alaskan or a Canadain glacier,
had finally made up its mind to
change its nationality. It has now
withdrawn almost a mile from the
International Boundary Line, giv
ing Canada a port of entry to
norther nBritish Columbia.
“The Canadian government has
withdraw nthis strip of land from
the public domain,” Mr. Forde
said. “We don’t know what use
we can make of it, as the country
beyond it is practically unexplored.
It is doubtful, however, if we
can ever use it as a means of in
gress to the WhUehorse country
—there are too many ice fields and
high mountain ranges.”
