IGNORANCE THAT IS AGONIZING
When the great American statesman, William I
Seward, one time Governor, Senator, Secretary of State,
friend and advisor of Presidents Taylor, Lincoln and An
drew Jackson, was retiring from office after a bi 1 Iliant
career, they asked him what act in all his half centuiy
service he himself considered most worth while. With
out a second’s hesitation Seward answered: The pui
chase of Alaska. But it may take two generations be
fore it is appreciated.” u.
In the light of Alaska’s known political relationship
with the forty-eight sovereign States of the Union, he
might have added another generation to his prophecy.
This is onlv too apparent when we are asked, as we
were last week by a visitor from the East: “Do you use
United States postage stamps on articles sent by mail
in Alaska in payment for the conveyance of letters and
othev mailable matter by public post? For your infor
mation, I am a stamp collector. Will you please direct
me to your local post office,if you have one?”
This individual may be a stamp collector, but to us
he is only a pain in the neck.

NOT EVEN A STEPCHILD t
- —*— ♦ ilac3
(Seattle Post-Intelligencer—Aug. 15) c
Re])resentative Frank Murphy, who, with a party ^
of Congressmen, recently returned from a tour of Al- c
aska, says the Federal government is treating that Ter
ritory like a stepchild. That puts it rather mildly. A i
stepchild usually receives kindness from one parent. Al- r
aska’s interests are kicked around from bureau to bu-j[
ream no Federal official seeming to regard the welfare £
of the people of the North as worthy of constructive
thought and attention.
Among other things, Representative Murphy won-d
ders why the government has been appropriating only \
one-third as much for the education of Alaska’s white j
children as for the native Indian and Eskimo schools. M
He also thought it strange that after building a ;
railroad and opening up mines, no local bunkers have ‘
been placed at the tidewater end of the Alaska Railroad 1
so that the coal could be shipped. The coal industry j
in continental United States is in such plight that this
may seem unimportant. But at any rate, the omission
of bunkers is an example of loose and aimless planning
which has characterized much of the Federal govern
ment’s activities and expenditures in the North.
Neither could Mr. Murphy understand why the gov
ernment should raise rates on the Alaska Railroad and
handicap the efforts of people in developing that sec
tion.
Some time Alaska will receive better, more intelli
gent treatment from Washington. Seattle interests could
profit vastly by making determined efforts to hasten
the day.
Washington should never forget the fundamental
custom of our government, that of recognizing and sanc
tioning, by passing from time to time, pre-emption laws
giving the settler and pioneer first aid and right to the
soil.
One of the finest of new vessels to have entered
Alaska service in these wiaters, the MS Polar Bear,
cam^ into the Port of Seward Wednesday. The motor
ship. which is captained by Capt. Pete Wold, is owned
by the Kodiak Guides Association, Capt. Chas. Madsen,
general manager, who is also aboard. The inauguration
of this splendid vessel sounds a new epic for the Alaska
game trail and means the highest degree of comfort for
clients of the association while traveling to locale.

TAXATION PROGRAM
LONDON, Sept. 3 .(£>)—'The Na
onal cabinet has completed a new
Lxation program which it kept
;cret and will be used to call
arliament to meet in a special ses
on on September 8 to enact the
rogram into law. Supporters of
tie program are confident that
ley will have a majority of 50.
A leg of a very young reindeer
lay be roasted in the same way
s a leg of lamb, but in the older
nimals it is too large and the
ariation in the meat in different
ortions is too great for such a
lethod to be successful. The
lost satisfactory roast is cut from
be upper end of the round, the
bickness (five inches or more)
epending upo nthe size of roast
seired. Such roasts will vary i
;om 7 to 12 pounds. Roasts from \
at animals may be cooked with- I
ut larding.
Wipe carefully, rub with salt, i
tepper and flour, and place on a ;
ack in an open pan. If a roast- j
neat thermometer is available, j
he cooking can be regulated more |
atisfactorily.
The thermometer should be in- ;
erted so that the bulb is approx
imately in the center of the roast
yhere the cooking will be slowest,
hace the roast in a hot oven
480° F.) for 25 minutes to sear ;
■
he outside and develop flavor, j
Lower the heat to about 250° F.,
ind continue the cooking until the
thermometer in the meat registers
he desired temperature. A rare
•oast should be removed when the
thermometer reaches 140°, contin
je to 160 for medium, and to
.80 ’ for well-done meat.
The time will vary depending
jpon the size and the shape of the
roast and the temperature at
which the cooking is finished, but
it will generally require about 25
minutes - to the pound for the
meat to cook to the rare stage.
Have you heard he new “OKBH"
records at Sylvia’s. They are won
derful.
