A PERFECT SHOT
The proficiency with which the “Big Shot” at the
local breakwater quarry was let off yesterday, again
reflects highly of the efficiency found among those em
ployed by the Alaska Road Commission and its staff
of engineers. The exploding of one charge of six tons
of dynamite, did the work they expected bringing
down the face of a rock wall from which the Seward
breakwater will be made.
Every precaution was taken to forestall accident.
There were none; neither to life nor property. They!
planned to bring down so many yards of rock and did.
A perfect shot. All in the day's work to them but to j
the layman, a mighty fine piece of work.

OUTDOORS BEGINNING TO BECKON
TLo Tii st warm days of spring are a vein table
challenge to leave one's town and "work behind and
make tracks xor the open spaces—the wilderness.
There one may recline by the side of a sparkling
flowing stream and spend many an hour in the open
mr; dreamless nights under the shining stars, and re
capture a wonderful joy in living.
Have you got spring fever, too?

T> t Y;Tg hadn’fc thought of that before. Capt. Heinie
sais he expects to see much freight haul
eu out of the Port of Seward to Cook Inlet points pro
yr mg the freight rates over the Alaska Railroad go
"tn effect. Naturally we can see where there will be a
savmg affected by eliminating the increased rate on
c ] ne- Tlle Senate committee may have had brains
bi:t so, apparently, have the common folk of Alaska.
, '/S1(:e irom tne 1CC’ snow and glaciers, the States
f non id also recognize Alaska now by our socalled diph
v r '5 epidemic. Furthermore, the Nome Nugget, Ed
1 cr C. J. Lincke and the writer, are partly to blame. It
e x ms to. have started with our Balto, Nenana to Nome
‘ . na epidemic stories. We are now ashamed of
•nose writings.
• ! ; h m ■ readers of our “Port of Miss
ponctei over the untold stories therein; the
}on‘ *n ’ ; or word of a brother, sister or parent; the
- '-art-adics. Its a lonesome old world after all and when
nos dear ones vanish; nothing but friends are left,
• ' >eax iiienus, so very few. To estranged ones,
; uJ:e ls ? wonderful healer. If you ever can give any
iniormation regarding missing ones, answer at once.
Don’t it get your goat after waking up in the
morning feeling like a million bucks, then let go a
couple of sneezes which start the old bean aching; and
then you feel like the dickens the rest of the day Isn’t
it the bunk?
Human nature is a contrary element. Everybody
was asked to keep away from the scene of yesterday’s ’
big shot at the rock quarry. Did they obey? Not by a
jugfull, everybody was out there, including the writer.
Dr. Murray Butler declares that there is no great
man living today. And now our State Department may
have to make another apology because Butler was indis
creet.

RUSSIA IT BAY.
IS HONE AGAINST
THE ENTIRE WORLD
MOSCOW, Mar- 10. {IP) —Sev
| enteen years of civil strife and
strenuous revolution, with a grue
some famine and long spells of
short rations, are enough to curdle
the milk of human kindness in
J any people. Here the progress is
| intensified by a conviction of
| imminent danger, of plots hatch
ing and new interventions breed
ing.
The incessant outcry in the j
Soviet press about enemies at
home and abroad is not political j
trickery, it is the genuine out- j
cry of a country that does feel
itself isolated and at bay, alone
against the world.
