REMEMBERING THE FORGOTTEN MAN
It w'M be acknowledged that whereas the phrase
“forgotten man ’ v not original with the Democratic ad
ministration, it hns had a salutory effect on Congress.
The Senate passed a bill suspending assessment
work on mining claims in the U. S. and Alaska for 1933.
But the thing did not escape the eagle eye of Senator
Borah of Idaho, a mining state. He amended the act
making only those claimants not paying an income tax
eligible to the exemption.
Thus if you are in the plutocratic class you had bet
ter have $100 worth of work performed on each claim.
The House must approve the bill before it becomes
law, and it may undergo changes.
There arc arguments on both sides of the assess
ment question. It favors claim-owners who are compelled
to seek work t'^ support themselves and family when as
sessment w orl is suspended, and absentee owners of large
areas of ground. Act it is debatable if compulsion to do
assessment work, especially on placer ground would not
prove a greater benefit than waiting for somebody to
buy. Who knows but the next bedrock hole may bring
the Eldorado!
PITY THE POOR FILIPINO
It is just too had after Uncle Sam has expended
hundreds of milh'ons of dollars, lifted the little brown
savage from his gee-string and bolo, taught him to settle
an argument without making hamburger steak out of I
his enemy and his relatives, he is preparing to take the j
Filipino at ihs word and give him a chance to run his own
racket, and with .his own money.
The sob pre^s of the East is drowning the landscape !
with lachrymose mmhtions because, after 12 years little ;
Filipe vrl) not have the privilege of dumping 600,000,000 j
pounds of cocoanut ail into the United States duty free, j
to crowd Amci ican produced oils from the markets, in-;
eluding killers of whale, fish-oil, reduction plants, hog j
lard, and other greases.
Ta.e pbilantnropists—who by the way, own the cocoa- |
nut groves and the cugar plantations—rear up on their j
hind lees and shout to the very heavens against what is i
termed “Ihrowing our little brown brother overboard,” |
bolo and all, and limiting his free exports of sugar to the j
United States to impoverish the western farmer who
grows sugar beets.
Pu! v,e always were a spectacular people, demand
ing that a grandiloquent gesture follow our millions j
tossed into foreign lands.
About all it netted us is to set us up in the world i
as the finest aggregation of palookas outside “The Old j
Homestead.” |
YOUNG FOLKS TO WED
Tomorrow morning at Anchor
age .according to word brought to
Seward last evening, two popular
young folk will be united in the
bonds of matrimony. Miss Evelyn
Meyer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
John Meyer, and Charles Ruttan,
airplane pilot and official of the
Star Airways of Anchorage. The
couple will come to Seward to
morrow and continue on to the
States for their honeymoon.
Now is known one of the mo
tives for committing murder. From
5 o’clock yesterday afternoon until
9 p. m. somebody’s machine or
appliance ruined radio reception
for everyone in Seward.
Hi! Hi! Hi! Don’t forget the big
public dance in Odd Fellows hall
tomorrow night.
AT THE HOTELS
Van Gilder—Robert Wakelin.
Seward—Jane Farrelly, Mrs. A.
Stern, Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Stuart.
Mr. and Mrs. Dan Green, well
known Interior folk, arrived at
Anchorage by plane and will come
to Seward Saturday evening by
train enroute to the states.
The Seward City basketball
teams—men and women—returned
home Thursday evening from their
Anchorage series, tired but all ex
pressive of the fine sportsmanship
and splendid hospitality extended.
It is reported that the MS Unit
ed, Capt. Pete Wold, went ashore
near Alitak recently and spent
three days at Seldovia making the
necessary minor repairs. Captain
Wold is now somewhere out West.

had come ashore. These he plac
ed beside the half-dead man.
Then taking three oranges for
himself he set off for a distance
of nine miles to find a barabara,
where he hoped to provide shelter
for his charge and himself; gain
surcease from the chill of soaked
clothing laved by a pitiless winter
wind.
“NO GREATER LOVE”
It was about half way they j
found him. He was laying prone!
upon his face, an arm doubled be- j
neath his head for a pillow. His j
soul had already flown and the j
sea birds were chattering the j
solemn mass that would have been }
his mentor’s duty were he spared j
this cruel fate.
A staggering trail, now leading
along the beach, again over jut
ting cliffs where the rugged shore
line thrust outward to receive the j
crashing blows of an angry sea,
told of the heroic struggle of this
native boy to fulfill his mission of
mercy. Along the route lay pieces
of orange peel where he had
sought to sustain his energy by de
vouring the fruit.
“For no greater love hath any
man than he lay down his life for
his friend”.
Those who live afterward and I
sit in solemn communion with the
father of the little flock who carry
on out on the firing line of civili
zation will hear him repeat these
immortal lines. Among the ikons
of the thorn-crowned Christ and
the Blessed Virgin surrounding
the pulpit another face will ap
pear. It will be the memory of
George Krudoff who was the living
epitome of the text.
Thus passed George Krudoff, hero 1
of the tragedy of the Umnak Na- j
five.
HEAVILY LOADED
On the 19th of January, the M. j

owned and operated by the natives :

annual trip around Unalaska, Um- j

to pick up the trappers. She was
| heavily loaded with cargo for Nik
i olski.
Among those aboard was Cap- j
I tain Nelson, formerly master of!
I the A. C. Co’s., ill-fated vessel, M.
j S. Eunice, Bishop Antonin, accom
panied by a lay-priest, and John
Stankus, Captain of the Umnak
Native, with his wife and child.
Having made her numerous
“pick-ups”, the tiny vessel put in
to Inanudok Bay, early on the
24th of February, and from there,
would have sailed to Nikolski and
the completion of her voyage, had
not Destiny so ruthlessly inter
vened. By then, the total person
nel aboard had mounted to 15.
The strong wind which they
sought to avoid had rapidly risen
to a gale so they retreated to the
northeast end of the bay to seek
what little shelter offered, from a
heavy sea which was steadily in
creasing in menace. A fairly i
smooth sandy beach stretched sev- ]
eral hundred yards on either quar- 1
ter, its surf, a snowy white from '
the rollers’ foam. Had they not
forsaken that place perhaps they
could have averted the impending !
catastrophe. But no, the bottom J
proved a poor “holding ground” j
so, feeling insecure, they decided i
to move to the other end of the |
bay where, although more expos- J
