NOW WE’LL PAN ONE
As revelations come to light upon the calibre of the
triumvirate of small fry Senators who, headed by the ne
bulous Howell went the limit in an effort to throttle
Western Alaska by an assault upon the Alaska Railroad,
some idea may be gained of the mediocrity of much of
the United States senate.
Here is what the Jackson Hole, Wyo., Courier has to
say about Senator Kendrick, now sitting upon a board to
determine if the Alaska Eskimo shall go the way of the
Indians of the Senator’s State or shall enjoy the privilege
of revenue from their reindeer:
“It seems strange that Senator Kendrick, sponsor
and father of the Grand Teton National Park, the open
ing wedge into the Jackson Hole country, should be out
of touch with anything bordering the park question.
Yes, it was he who permitted the creation of Grand Teton
National Park, that mummy creature so bound with tape, i
in which the Senator takes great pride, as to prohibit.the
building of roads, hotels and camps, the very things that
would bring thousands of tourists thru Jackson Hole . ..
He opened the gate, he paved the way, he attaches the
strings, and now he puts his foot in the opening and says
they shall not pass; we want a senatorial investigation.
“Well the people of Jackson Hole want it too, and we
want to know where Wyoming’s representatives have
stood on this question for the past 15 years.”_
Thus we have a forecast of how long Alaska may be
compelled to wait until the Wyoming cattle king brings
to a settlement the question of Eskimo rights as against
a New York corporation and the Beef Trust.
With championship medals for everything from the
champion wart holder to Congressional liar, it is difficult
to understand this cry about slow markets in the brass
and steel industry.
Two years ago The Gateway warned that extrava
gant buying beyond one’s means provided to precipitate
the worst panic the nation has known. Which should
serve as a warning to all who read The Gateway.
Dr. Alec Hrdlicka deplores the fact that Alaska’s
relics of antiquity are going out of the Territory. We
haven’t noticed any material exodus of mining knock
ers boarding the ships.
President Hoover says big business should do some
thing for the farmer and laborer. Well, hasn’t it?

GOLD MID GARDENS
SYLVAN WILDERNESS
HR UK DISTRICT:
—
Take a pencil and draw a ring ;
around Lake Kenai, from a point i
some three miles east of Cooper’s I
Landing to Skilak Lake, 18 miles j
westward, and you will surround
one of the garden spots of Alaska.1
You will also surround an area I
which, judged by traditions and,
much visible evidence, contains j
sufficient gold to liquidate a large |
portion of the national debt. Not |
that this gold is available for the |
mere picking up, but when it isj
known that every bar, from grass
roots or boulder down, pans many
colors, and the area extends for a
known 18 miles and is approxi
mately one mile wide, some esti
mate as to the value of this store
house of virgin wealth can be gain
ed.
But it is not alone the gold which
sets this region aside as one of the
most desirable in Alaska. There
is the scenery, big game and sil
very lakes, which combined are all
that should appeal to the poetic
and romantic. Then again, there is
the fecund soil, capable of produc
ing every hardy vegetable and
berry, oats and other grains.
Thus it is no wonder that settle
ment is gradually encroaching up
on this sylvan wilderness, with its
multiple charms and chances for
a pretty home along with the op
portunity of taking gold from the
soil even by the crudest of meth
ods.
One of the first pretty rural
homes encountered is that of Mr.
and Mrs. Alex Bolem. It is located
at the lower end of the lake, where
the swift water of a river begins.
Sitting a short distance back from
the water Is a rustic log cottage,
erected from timber cut in clearing
several acres. On these acres is
the evidence of what one may do
with a garden and grain; Alec was
digging potatoes—and such pota
toes! One one side Frank Towle
had sown oats for his horse, which
•he uses to pack out moose and oth
er game for the hunters.
While below on the river, the

question of “how much to the yard”
is answered in terms of ounces,
pennyweights, etc., Alec expresses
his estimates of from 20 to 25 sacks
from a mere scratch on the ground.
The home is one which any mil
lionaire would wish to own in its'
rustic and charming setting.
Across the lake, above Cooper’s
Landing, longer tenure has suffic
ed to create something akin to an
embrionic town. Edifices range
from those little log cabins to wel
come to the traveler, and where
the latchstring is always outside
the door, to artistic cottages with
glass inclosed conservatory, such
as Mr. Towle occupies. With a
combination of cement and round
boulders, flat flagstones and other
handy material, the cottage is
surrounded by artistic paved walks
and art effect flower urns, the
walks being bordered by flowers
and shrubs.
Inside the home is “crammed so
full of cosy joy” and the refine
ment a woman’s hand creates, even
far removed from the modernism
of urban life.
From Cooper’s Landing is but a
few hours run by outboard motor
boat to the upper landing at Mile
18 on the Chugach automobile
road.
It is at the lower point that one
prepares for the run of swift water
and rapids which alternate the en
tire distance to Skilak Lake.
