VICIOUSNESS PERSONIFIED
The viciousness of irresponsible free lance corres-.
pondents is exemplified by a news dispatch, carrying
am Anchorage date line but no press association, pub
lished last week in a Seattle paper. The item follows: j
Anchorage, Alaska, Friday, May 1—George Waltz,
representative of the Crane Company, died today in a
hallway of a hotel, eight hours after he assertedly took
a drink of poisoned liquor. “I took a drink of liq
uor down the street and I’m poisoned," he was said
to have gasped to a bellboy before he died.
The autopsy at Anchorage disclosed the fact that
death was caused by a cerrebral hemorrhage, a large
clot of blood having been found on the brain.
George Waltz had many good frineds in Seward
and Anchorage ,in fact all over the Territory, and in be
half of these legion of friends and his grief-stricken
widow and employers, The Gateway challenges the
writer of that slanderous statement based on heresay.
Is is inconceivable that a bonafide newspaper
man could have written that untrue dispatch about a
principal who has passed beyond the grave unable to de
fend himself.
CONSTRUCTIVE PUBLICITY
Constructive publicity of Alaska, a subject dear to!
our heart, is again exemplified in the following letter j
from W. A. Phillips, general passenger agent of the j
Pennsylvania Railroad to Ernest Walker Sawyer, as
sistant to Mr. Wilbur, Secretary of the Interior. The
letter is self-explanatory:
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Dear Mr. Sawyer: “Your letter of the 8th instant j
has been received containing public statement in con- j
nection with the investigation of mineral and other re- j
sources of Alaska. This matter will be immediately plac-!
ed in the hands of our outside soliciting organization i
with the hope that we can create passenger travel to !
Alaska this summer. Thanking you for writing me, and
assuring you it will not be released until April 20th, I
am, very truly yours,” W. A. Phillips.
MU
Again we say this man Sawyer is putting over
more and better publicity than any 10 men together
who have preceded him at Washington. The only fear
felt is that his energy will attract the eyes of some
other “big shot” who may command his services in
connection with another program foreign to Alaska.
Alaska has long been in need of an Ernest Walker
Sawyer.
Valdez folks and also a number from Cordova pro- |
pose to join the Seward motor caravan over the Rich
ardson Highway, in August, to Fairbanks and Circle.
Fairbanks, evidently, must be afraid of offending the
railroad manager because that city is peculiarly silent
on the subject of coastal visitors. The trip is going to
be a leisurely one and at least 25 autos will be in the
procession. Sweet Patootie! Better come along!
A yak herd to go with the sap herd in Alaska, as
Senator Howell suggests, should certainly solve the Ter
ritory^ economic and development problems. But what
in the dickens will we do with the reindeer, the musk
ox and the buffalo. What's the matter putting a fence
around Alaska's entire boundardies, with not only* the
animals, but the people as well, as part of a zoo?
