TERRESTRIAL BOMBARDMENTS
The report of a large meteorite or where it landed in the Chulitna
country recalls similar visitations of terrestrial bodies in times past,
not the least of which was a shower of meteors on the Kuskokwim many
years ago. and the falling of a large meteorite north of the main Alaska
range in the direction of Fairbanks about 1922.
Recounting the shower of meteorites, the late Charles Brown of
the firm of Brown & Hawkins, said he was driving dogs along the Kus
kokwim river when the sky became ablaze with myriads of shooting
stars, as they were termed. So brilliant was the light and uncanny the
spectacle that it was too much for his malamutes, which stampeded
and gave him a go in an effort to control them.
Thus far, no one has located the meteorite of 1922, which had the
appearance of being of large dimensions, gauged by the glare of light
which followed.
Should the meteorite in the Chulitna country be found, or any
quantity of fragments proving it is of the same material as the great
mass which drove its way several thousand feet into the Arizona desert,
affording one of the modern wonders of the world, it should be rich in
platinum and nickel.
A meteorite which fell in central Nevada, not far from Boulder
Dam. fractured in several pieces, a portion of it being discovered by
prospectors who gathered it and shipped it to smelter for silver ore,
and received a good return. It was disclosed whether the payment was
for the value as a meteorite or its silver content.
Unless later discovered, a part of the Nevada meteorite was found
by an Alaskan resident in 1905, who staggered upon it while half dead
from thirst and therefore unable to carry away a specimen.
One of the things that makes crime easy is the fact that the crim
inal can feel reasonably certain that his victim does not have a gun.
The law against carrying concealed weapons might profitably be re
pealed. There would be less kidnapping and fewer hold-ups if bad
men knew that they were moving amid a populace ready to protect
itself with a rain of pistol bullets and buck shot.
An advertisement in the States says: “Our eggs have been tested
three times.” Yes, to crawl, walk and fly.
Since a man’s wealth is gauged by what he owes it appears that
the Allies and Uncle Sam are fighting for a place above the salt.
A new rubber device muffles a singer’s voice so his practicing does
not annoy others. Its use by crooners should be made compulsory.
The Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine of the Coeur d’alenes has paid
dividends for 47 years.
Since Congressman La Guardia is busy picking victims for reprisals
such as Henry Ford, who appears to be about the only man throwing
his millions into the pot instead of asking the government to shoulder
the responsibility of creating employment, he might check up his own
constituency, boasting a gangster to the yard, and do a little high
jacking for the benefit of his socialistic theory.

HEM SAFE, SOUND
Fears that Game Warden Wm.
B. Healy, of Kenai, was lost in the
! Iliamna district were quieted Mon
day evening when Anchorage radio
station KFQD broadcast word that
Healy was safe and that he was ex
pected to reach Hans Seversen’s
home at Iliamna sometime Monday.
Rumors were circulated at Kenai
recently that Healy had become
| lost and this information was im
1 mediately forwarded to Juneau.
Alaska Game Commissioner H. W.
Terhune then ordered Warden
Jack O’Connor, of Anchorage, to
i take an airplane and go into the
district in search of the man.
O’Connor left Anchorage last
Saturday in an Alaskan Airways
plane piloted by Matt Neiminen.
At the Seversen home he learned
that Healy had gone down the lake
and that it was Healy’s intention
to return to the Seversen home as
soon as his trip was completed.
The plane then took off and pro
ceeded down the lake, flying over
the various trappers’ cabins in that
area. At one of the cabins Healy
came out and waved a greeting to
the airmen who circled overhead.
The plane was unable to land there
i so proceeded on the way back.
O’Connor is now back in Anchor
S age.
SUBSCRIBER SAYS—
A Gateway subscriber m Oregon
writes: “After reading your recent
opinions about the Sino-Japanese
war and probable invasion of Al
aska, I suppose hereafter I should
address renewal to Editor Ernesti
Oka Jesseno Iki, because the Japs
by this time ought to have run up
their flag over the Seward Federal
building, but,” friend subscriber
continued, “if you print The Gate
| way in Japanese, take my name off
| the mailing list because it is all I
; can do to master English.”
A Pacific International Airways
plane left Anchorage Monday with
four passengers for Flat—Mr. and
Mrs. Duffy and Mr. and Mrs. Olson.
'They have just returned from a
trip to the States and are going
into the Flat district to begin min
ing operations for the coming sea
son.
