DEALING WITH FLOATERS
I
Complaint is voiced against the presence of “float
ters”—men drifting into Alaska in search of work.
In regard to these seekers of work there can be no
objction so long as they know that the froniter is not nec
essarily a field for wage-earners, but a place where one
is often compelled to shift for himself for the necessities
of life, such as food and shelter, and harvest what he can
from nature to meet his other needs. Such men will read
ily recognize these opportunities and the incentive to rus
tle. In this manner many such discover that they have
been wasting good years jumping from place to place in
search of employment when they might anchor them
selves where a country has opportunity to expand and
emerge with independence.
Unfortunately too many unlettered men believe that
society as a whole is against them, and refuse to offer or
accept a gesture calculated to draw them into the big j
scheme of life and give them a role in its evolvement.
Thus is often lost valuable contributors to progress. It is
on the frontier that they have the opportunity to blend
into the entire scheme. It they refuse to accept it, they
have no one to blame but themselves.
But there is another variety of “floater.” He is the
“wise guy,” who accepts the philosophy that “only saps
work.” There is but one remedy for this ilk and that is to
keep them moving and harassed until they see the error
of their way or wind up where all such wind up, behind
the bars.
This harassing and hounding may appear cruel, yet
it often requires something like this to convince a man
that society is not his toy to be played with and is too
solidly organized for him to prevail against it. Once con
vinced of this fact by public opinion, many have the
chance to beat back and reinstate themselves, by going
to work at legitimate occupations.
There is too much parasitical growth, and it must'
be stamped out if Alaska, and the nation for that matter,
Keep the vicious floater on the move, by all means,
but not the “square guys.”
A Chicagoan says business is just turning a corner.
About the only way for anything to survive in the Windy
City is to turn and turn quick.
“Business is turning the corner,” says a Chicago
grain dealer. If they’ll only stop the tommy gun worker
maybe it will have a chance to linger.

NOTML ECLIPSE SUN
PLAINLY VISIBLE SEWNHD
EARLY HOURS MOUNINC
Contrary to the opinion of learn
ed astronomers the passing of the
moon between the sun and earth
and resultant obscuring of a por
tion of the sun’s light rays, was
plainly visible locally this forenoon.
The phenomenon lasted for a
considerable length of time and al
most everyone had a chance to get
some transparent colored material,
1 eye shades, smoked or colored glass
es, to gaze at the sun and observe
the crescent-like indentation on it’s
i lower left edge.
As the moon’s orbit swung that
heavenly body into the path of the
sun’s rays streaming to earth, it
caused about 15 per cent or more
obscurity locally while in other lo
calities it ranged all the way from
ICO per cent in Montreal; 95 per
cent in New York, 85 per cent in
Detroit, 75 per cent in Minneapolis
and Chicago; 35 per cent in Seat
j tie and like percentages.
The general path of the total
j eclipse which started in the Arc
I tic Ocean at sunrise, was across
! almost the middle of Canada, across
Hudson Bay, Quebec and New Eng

Ocean where the shadow left the
earth at sunset. The total eclipse
lasted for only about 100 seconds at
any one place but the partial
eclpise was visible for longer per

Astromoners predict that the
next time such an awe-inspiring
I spectacle will be seen in the United
1 States and Canada, will not be un
til October 12, 1997, 65 years hence,
though others claim that in 1943
another partial eclipse will be seen
from Alaska. This eclipse will en

of Kavak Island and Bering Gla

to the south of Seward. Another
date given for this phenonenom is
July 20, 1963 and that the path of
this eclpise will take about the same
path as today’s.
