TRADERS AND TRAPPERS A DETRIMENT
No one but a prospector should be permitted to trap
beaver.
“What!’’ you exclaim, ‘How come?”
That’s what an oldtimer says should be put into ef
fect And he gives as his reason that not only will the
prospector be able* to go out each season and obtain his 20
beaver, sufficient for his next tgrub-steak, but in turn he
becomes an unofficial game warden.
Traders and trappers, as a whole, are a detriment to
Alaska unless they get out in the hills and prospect, the
old sourdough emphatically stated, for during his many
years in the outlying fringes of Alaska, he has noticed
time and again that the average trader or trapper dis
couraged prospeettors from coming into their region.
And why? Because in turn the habitations of prospect
ors will keep fur-bearing animals away.
There is considerable food for thought in this old
timer’s suggestion, one which should not be read and then
discarded. It would be an experiment worth trying, he
says, for like all true Alaskans, he wishes to see but one
tiling before he goes over “the last trail” and that is to see
his home-land progress and develop, and he is sincere in
his belief that this would be one of the first steps in that
direction.
Dr. Gruez of Vienna declares that fewT women have,
legs which are mates and that in most cases the difference!
between the twro limbs are very marked. It is assumed!
that the doctor has enjoyed the interesting studies which,
led him to this conclusion.

FIREMEN W
COOPERATION OF
ILL LOCAL FOLK
(By "Gimpy" Harris)
Elsewhere in. this issue is publi9T.
ed the program for the coming Pou' in
of July celebration. It will be noted
that a number of events appear there,
on which heretofore were never pre
seated in Seward. It wa3 with a view
to make it more interesting, that a
number of changes were made.
Although the Seward Voluntee-'
Fire Department is sponsoring the
celebration, it is the duty of every
member of the local community to
"put the shoulder to the wheel” and
help to rrnke the coming 4th. not
|only the greatest and best that Sew
ard has ever had, but the best in Al
aska. Cross out the ’t in can’t and
emphasize that it can be done.
Let us start the morning of the
Fourth with a bang. The first evem
on the program will be a parade,
last year it was a failure due to poor
cooperation. This year it must and
v. ill be an excellent parade, not <»
funeral procession. Numerous prizes
are being awarded for floats, etc
and they will be given rain or shiae
Request has been made upon a num
Ler of local organizations to compete
with floats, and at this writing it ap
pcars as if they will.
£ome on now folks don’t leave it
all to few individuals, let’s all "get
into the game.” We are not for per
sonal glory, but to let the rest of the
world know’ that Seward is more
than "doing its bit”, to help celebrate
Independence Day

GIVE DICES AT KODIAK
—
•
Wednesday and Friday nights the
Kodiak people enjoyed the presence
c. the Revenue Cutter Unalga an 1
the S. S. Watson in port. Dancing at
Blinn’s dance hall constituted the
principal events. The music furnishel
by the crew of the Unalga was most
excellent with the captain of the Cut
ter handling the drums. Friday night
the orchestra of the Watson gave an
exhibition of -musical skill that in j
rarely equaled by any vessel thU
plies the coastal waters of Alaska.
The party was graced by the pre
sence of the Tulip Queen and Pria
cess of Bellingham Wash. They sure
ly were ve\'y good to look at. Even
the old Commissioner hung around
the dance hall much later than is Vs
custom. However, Kodiak has many
a girl within her corporate limits who
had they been in Bellingham during
the contest would have made it diffi
cult for thepresent title holders t"'
have adjusted the crown upon tiie*r
comely heads.
