MINING FIRST; FARMING SECOND
It may be so that Dr. H. W. Alberts’,Alaska’s agrono
mist, recent statement that the agricultural region along
the Alaska Railroad can now absorb 1,000 families, with
out upsetting its economic equilibrium. We believe a 1,000
families could haye done likewise 20 years ago. But un
til we develope our mines and other resources, we would
hesitate going into the farming business which has been
taken well care of for many years past. The few who are
endeavoring to reap from the soil have always had diffi
culty in disposing of their products. We believe mines
come first in any pioneer country such as Alaska, and
then, your farms.
TWO TEAMS SUFFICIENT
Seward basketball fans can look forward to an en
joyable season of the sport for the athletes, to our way of
thinking, have pursued the right policy of having one
team made up from the best obtainable, to compete
against the high school which has always turned out a
five any town might well be proud of. In the game last
week the spectators got their moneys worth and are anx
iously awaiting the next one. With the material on hand
we do not believe the public’s interest would be so keen
with another team or two in the field.
A GOOD IDEA
-O
Listening to the Steamer Alaska coming up Resur
rection Bay last evening—it was sounding its whistle
while while groping blindly through the heavy fall of
snow—the suggestion was made by a local resident, that
some loud device should be installed on the dock to an
swer incoming vessels—in fog or snow—to assist them
to a safe berth. We thought the suggestion an excellent
one so are passing it on for what it may be worth.
The million in treasure that the Nome camp has pro
duced this year is a substantial contribution to a merry
Christmas, says the Seattle Times. Rightly so and Alaska
has countless other millions to give to the world.

I rue Sight Of M ount
Sinai In North Arabia
Sought By Expedition
COPENHAGEN, Nov.. 24, bP)—.An
exepdition which hopes to locate
the s’te of Mount Sinai in northern
Arabia will leave London in Febru
ary under the leadership of Dr.
Ditlof Nielsen, Danish archeologist.
Dr. Nielsen holds that the sun
posed site of the mount on Sinai
Peninsula is wrong. He says that
knowledge of old Arabic culture re
cently coming to light, especialiy
from thousands of inscriptions on
monuments, proves that there was
a fundamental connection be
tween the Jewish religion and the
Western and Northern Arabian
coast.
The Northern part of this regiun,
South of the Dead Sea, as far as th • |
Bay of Akaba, is unexplored ior cul
tural inscriptions, and here the ex
pedition expects to concentrate its
research.
Word was received at Cordova \
of the death of Frank McKenna, a |
former resident of that region, in
Phoenix, Arizona.
