If Alaska has the will to go forward, we, like him,
will find the way to success!
‘The finest outing in Alaska,” is the expression
heard by returning viistors to Lake Kenai, Cooper’s
Landing, Lawing and Russian River. Seward should
cash in on those magnificent scenic attractions to a far
greater extent than at present. Coupled wTith the pres
ent beautiful summer days, always excellent trout fish
ing, hunting, boating and hiking, the trip is undoubt
edly Seward’s main tourist attraction.
The Court of Appeals of the State of New York has
ruled that it is the duty of a railroad engineer to watch
his signals, and not what is below him, on the tracks.
The court accepts the spirit, but not the vigorous lan
guage, of the Civil War admiral who said: “Damn the
torpedoes! Go ahead!”

Not meaning to be too critical or casting aspera

the Lindberghs investigate the cellars at Point Barrow?

Log cabins were the dwelling places of the founders
of our republic. Log cabins have even been the gar
risons of the frontiers when every acre was won from
the wilderness.

Divers in search of five million dollars on a ship
sunk off the French coast, have brought up a copper
pipe worth a hundred dollers. It is well not to despise
the day of small things, especially when on so uncertain
a quest as the search for lost money. A pipe in the hand
is worth two pipe dreams in the sea.

During these days of panic prohibition is submerged
in a gulf of silence.

ALASKA INTERESTS
AT THE NATIONAL
CAPITOL WISH
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 10. (By
William A. Steel)—The natives of
Wrangel have been fearing for
some time past that the white men
would be allowed to get title to
what has been designated by the
Government as “Indian Posses
sions.” But their fears may now
be dispelled for a plat has been
made showing the claims of the var
ious Indians, and this has just
been ordered filed in the land of
fice at Anchorage. Commissioner
Moore has directed the Register in
Alaska that “This plat exhibits a
subdivision of Indian possessions in
Wrangell Townsite and was made
for the purpose of permitting the
; deeding of said tracts to the Indian
| occupants thereof.” J. A. Ramsey,
! Chief of the Field Division, will
soon issue the deeds to the proper
claimants.
