COAL FOR A BACK HAUL
The suggestion is put forward now that the price of
copper has fallen so low it is unprofitable to mine the
ore, and that a back-haul is desired by the Alaska Steam
ship Company and the Pacific Steamship Company, why
wouldn’t it be a good plan for these steamship companies
to enter the Alaska coal market?
Load coal at Seward for Southeastern Alaska and,
if possible, Seattle and the Pacific Coast.
If it’s tonnage they want—here it is!
GENTLEMEN PRISONERS
The fantastic Wickersham law commission, now a
thing of the past, which cost the taxpayers hundreds
of thousands of dollars and which accomplished exactly
nothing, believes that convicts should be treated like
gentlemen, judging from their report made public Mon
day. Less disciplinarian measures should be enforced,
they say. They overlooked the fact that most prisoners
these days live better than many law-abiding citizens;
regular meals, warm cells, doctors and specialists to
treat them, moving picture shows, recreation of .all
kinds, libraries at their command, and so on down the
line.
It is a certainty many of the millions of America’s
unemployed wish they could be extended a small por
tion of the multitude of favors given to prisoners.
THANKS, TAHOE!
Thanks to the generosity of the manly appearing
and efficient crew of the U. S. S. Tahoe, they have given
Seward a new name, “Land of Sunshine and Fowers.”
Seward retaliates by openly declaring it has never been
its pleasure to meet a finer body of men anywhere than
every man and officer aboard the Tahoe. No w!onder
Commander Towle is so proud of his men and of their
record, on land and sea.
Americans clean up about a million dollars on the
English Derby. Two of the winners, one an elevator
conductor and the other a stationery engineer, announce
that they will continue to'work. The losers will also
continue to work, but are not the real unfortunates. The
man To be pitied is the fellow who left the track deter
mined to chuck the good old-fashioned “job,” which, as
a means of promoting genuine happiness, is a winning
horse that can always be gambled on, with complete as
surance.
With the opening of the new Resurrection River
steel bridge, which is now under construction, poker
should not lose any of its popularity should the follow
ing headline appear: “Mayor Opens Deck For Bridge.”
Trader Horn is dead at 79. A penniless peddler at
more than three score and ten, two years found him in
possession of an income of several thousand dollars a
week, in royalties from his book. He entertained mil
lions of readers with his story, and lived to encourage
the aged with the thought that even for them there may
be a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at its flood,
leads on to fortune.
China has ruled out “Alice in Wonderland” because
in it, rabbits and other beasts are made to talk, such a
thing being considered an insult to the human race. If
bears can be made to say anything worse than most of
the chatter that human beings produce, the Chinese are
right.

PILGRIM PLANES
Pilgrim planes, which are now
being manufactured by one of the
divisions of the Aviation Corpora
tion, will be introduced in Alaska by
tlie Alaskan Airways just as soon
as the new ships have been given
a thorough workout in the states,
according to Pilot Matt A. Niem
inen, member of the flying forces
of the Alaska division of the big
air company, who returned to An
chorage recently from a visit of
more than two months in the
states, says the Anchorage Times.
The Pilgrim is a 10-place, single
engine, transport plane, and a
splendid performer, and it is the
opinion of Pilot Nieminen that it
will* prove vrey helpful to the de
velopment of aviation.
Nieminen had a conference with
the chief of the air corps and dis
cussed with him the question of
•military aviation in Alaska. Pilot
Nieminen long has been interested
in that phase of aviation develop
ment in the north and has written j
many letters on the subject, en
deavoring to interest the army or i
mvy in the proposition of establish-1
ing a base in Alaska. It was learned
that Major Malcolm Elliott, presi
dent of the Alaska Road Commis
sion, also is interested in this mat
ter and has recommended to the
war department, the abandonment
of the infantry post at Haines and
the establishment elsewhere of an
engineer corps post.
Pilot Nieminen was promoted to
a captaincy of the air corps re
serves while he was in the states.
