21 CONGRESSIONAL VOTES FOR ALASKA
Alaska has no vote in Congress but Los Angeles
is willing to support the Territory with her 21 Congress
ional votes.
This is one of the after-effects of the visitations to
the Northland of the Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merce excursion parties which, in the main, consisted
entirely of business men from the southern city.
Los Angeles not only stands back of Alaska ready
to assist in every constructive measure but is also willing
to invest cash in developing Alaskan resources and en
terprises.
This was the gist of the message left during the
visit last week of the Californian boosters. For years
Alaska has been struggling along alone without getting
to first base, so it behooves the Territory to take advan
tage of the kind offer from the Southland. What those
wonderfully energetic ‘live-wires” have accomplished
fori their own State and cities, they can likewise do for
Alaska.
RECORD SHATTERING FLIGHT
The aim and ambition of Aviator Wiley Post and
his navigator, Harold Gatty, is to encircle the earth in
10 days and, judging from the speed which they com
pleted in their flight to Siberia and Nome, the daring
airmen will undoubtedly win back to New York well
within their time limit. They deserve to.
Their sleek-looking monoplane and “good-luck”
charm of an engine, a Wasp supercharged, is the same
which carried Post to victory in the non-stop derby from
the Pacific Coast to Chicago in the 1930 national air
races; he expected its throbbing nine cylinders to carry
them safely in record time over the 16,000 miles around
the globe.
No life raft or parachutes are on board of the ar
gosy-making monoplane and there is just enough food
carried for a few “snacks.”
Alaskans will wish these daring men the best of
luck to the end of their journey.
THE GARDEN SPOT OF ALASKA
The value of a beautiful and well-cared for park is
seen in Seward especially upon the arrival of trains
from the Interior and steamers from the South. Hurry
ing visitors hesitate, then come to a full halt as they
gaze enraptured at the flowers, shrubbery and neatly
mowed lawn in Arcade Park.
This magnificent beauty spot is now known thru
out the Territory as the finest in Alaska and its re
nown has even spread to the States.
It is one of Seward’s finest assets and probably the
most exquisite garden plot in Alaska.
We see where safety organizations are campaign
ing for better brakes; some pedestrians hope for better
brakes.
“Garlic and Its Control” is the title of a new govern
ment bulletin, or Alaska bureau, or something. Hope
it tells how to control the urge of some Italian friends
to eat the stuff.
Since the Wall Street crash investors are slowly
turning to mining; and to Alaska mines!
We wonder whether a girl dreads painting her face
as much as a Sourdough dreads shaving.
