THE EAGLE BOUNTY
Of course Dr. T. Gilbert Pearson, president of the
national association of Audubon socieites would wire
the Alaska governor his congratulation and approval
of the governor’s recommendation to the Territrial
legislature to remove the bounty on eagles. Protection
of the feathered tribes is a hobby with Dr. Pearson.
But how about the destruction eagles cany on upon
Alaska’s greatest industry, the salmon packing busi
ness? The fox raising industry?
Dr. Pearson said 60,000 eagles were killed; he did
not say whether this was last year’s total or for the
past 60 years. What about the annual increase? Per
haps they have a right to live but so have cattle which
we kill to eat
The governor, on one hand—we do not mean to be
personal but only as an illustration—desired a raise in
salary and got it; on the other hand he takes away
a few paltry dollars annually from hundreds of Alask
ans. Pioneers who are in need of every cent. And what
for? If there was any danger of making the eagle ex-1
tinct, well and good, but from a purely economic stand- j
point he should propose cuts in appropriations from j
many other sources, higher up, if he is sincere in his!
economic program for Alaska’s welfare.
HEROES OF ALASKAN SKIES
The value of airplanes in Alaska was never better,
demonstrated than during the past few days. Pilot Matt;
Neiminem answered signal flares across Knik Ann
and brought a party in difficulties to Anchorage. From
Fairbanks Pilot Joe Crosson soared up speeding to Pt.
Barrow with antitoxin serum, halting a diphtheria epi
demic. In the eyes of Alaskans every aviator in the Ter
ritory is deserving of the acclaim of the nation. Almost
each day they are performing feats far surpassing
the majority of those in the States. The remarkable
performance of Alaskan planes will one day resound !
through aviation circles of the world.
THE KEY TO THE COLONISATION PLAN
An Alaskan business opportunity has long existed J
which, in the near future, should be initiated by one, or!
a group with sufficient capital.
Produce brokers handling Alaskan farm pro
ducts.
In the proposed Alaska Railroad colonization plan
little has been heard of this angle; the most important.
If a fanner knows he has a market for his products he
will fann in earnest; otherwise, what’s the use.
Such a brokerage must have cold and warm stor
age facilities; it must have sufficient capital to buy
farm products in season, store same and evolve a dis
tribution system to the retailer. This importing of Out
side foodstuffs which can be grown in Alaska, must
cease if Alaska is ever to get any place.
HOSPITAL GAINING RENOWN
That Seward is destined to be the “Rochester of
Alaska” was again demonstrated Friday when the Sew
ard General Hospital, with a capacity of 12 beds, had
17 patients. The skill of Dr. A. D. Haverstock and the
proficiency of his staff, is daily gaining in celebrity.
Two of the 17 were Seward folk; the other 15 were
from all points of the Alaskan compass.
There, there little child, don’t fret. If the tax col
lector don’t get you the “snooper” must.
