TOSSING BOUQUETS
The Cordova Times, with true loyalty to party
standards makes the observation that “In affairs con
cerning the Territory of Alaska there were notable gains
made by the Alaskan delegates. Our voting strength
at the conventions has been increased 50 per cent. The
plight and conditions which have resulted by remote rule
af the Territory have been forcibly brought before the na
tion and the party (Republican) is pledged to a more lib
eral policy in governing of Alaska.”
In the light of what has happened since President
Hoover visited Alaska the Times ecomiums are not unlike
a funeral in Missouri. The deceased appeared to have no
one willing to say a word in his favor. Finally one bolder
than the rest stepped forward and said: “Well, he had a
good appetite.”
The last three members of the Dahm family in Los
Angeles were just married recently. Now let’s wait for
the Dahm divorces.
Complaint is made that Japan is rattling the sword.
[Well, at least they have something to rattle.
The most disconcerting thing facing the gang at
Washington is the possibility of emulating Washington
but crossing the Potomac on a log.
There is no denying that the government has been
conducted in a stabilizing manner.

FINEST BILLIARD H^LL IN ALASKA
IIS FIRST AUTOMOBILE
(By Eloise Lavrischeff)
! It was the same kind of a thrill
i they must have had watching the
j last spike being driven into the
| railroad ts connect the East with
J the West of the United States, or
when the first water flowed into
the Panama Canal. It left the same
kind of feeling the pioneers must
have felt when they stopped their
ox-cart to stake out a plot for a
home—the first white people t o
have stepped upon that land.
We have seen the first automo
| bile in Kanakanak.
j The girls were sewing—prepar
! ing to leave, for our school is to be
no more; the boys were crating;
1 Mr. Lavrischeff was packing books.
We had been listening for some
time to a strange noise at the back
of the school house but had not
investigated when Mr. Lavrischeff
came bursting into the sewing
room. “Come quick! An automo
! bile!” We raced to the back room.
Yes, it was an automobile, a green,
Dodge sedan. The boys, of course,
ran to crowd around and follow it
while the girls exclaimed from the
windows and I thrilled at watch- j
ing the first tire tracks being made !
across primitive Kanakanak mud. j
The sedan is the newly acquired j
luxury of Mr. Nicholson, our Kan- |
akanak postmaster. It was driven I
by one of his daughters, recently i
arrived from the “Outside”. It drew
up to the radio station with a flou
rish. After business was transacted
there, it started on a tour of the
campus, circled on the slope in
front of the hospital and roared
back ot the jrear of the s<|hool
house wrhere begins the new road
started toward Dillingham last
year by the Road Commission (con
tinuing unfinished now)—the only
road on the Nushagak.
Now all the children can talk is
“automobile” and how fast it went
when they tried to catch it (real
ly slow, however, on the “trackless
mud.”). And we have the feeling
akin to the pioneers, for now in |
Kanakanak we have seen civiliza- {
tion arrive, the chief means of con- I
veyance being in the order of their!
importance: dog-sleds, boats, air-!
planes, and automobile.
