USE SEWARD’S GOLF COURSE
It is there for you in all its glory. There is magic in it;
the magic of health and happiness and peace of mind. It is
anodyne to all pains that are purely mentel, or nervous,
which, medical science tells us, comprise two ’thirds of the
ailments of mankind. More appealing to the rugged nat
ured man than a good book, more' soothing to high strung
nerves than fine music.
When you take your club in your two hands and sight
down the fairway to the first green, you are lost to every
thing but golf. From then on for two hours not another
subject comes up. The team may be standing in the field
hitched to the plow, the baby may be squawling in his
crib, the desk may be stacked with papers demanding
your signature, all the help may be on a strike. The ivory
pill has the center of the stage. Until it has made the full
round, and for many a long moment afterwards you are
free from care.
But when at last, you are back on the job the team
is rested and looks the best you ever owned, the baby has
disconnected himself from the safety pin and has the
neighbor’s brat licked a mile, you chuckle as you mow
away your work and discover gleefully that the business
can stand paying everybody a living wage. That’s golf.
Try it!
Up here in Alaska where the summers are wonder
ful but all too short and the winters dark with long nights
and short days, one should accept every available oppor
tunity and get out of doors.
The Seward Golf course is now in better condition
than it has been since it was built. You can’t lose a ball on
it, if you try. It is one of the sportiest little courses in the
world. Let iis be proud of it, and let us compliment it by
joining the Club and trying it out.
RICH INDIAN WOMAN
It may be surprising to many to know that one of the
largest unearned incomes received by any person in
America last year went to an Indian woman. Charles H.
Burke, commissioner of Indian affairs, in a recent state
ment revealed that one Oklahoma woman of the Quapaw
tribe, whose name was not given, received during the fis
cal year ended June 30 the sum of $188,296.30 or $513 a
day, from lead and zinc royalties.
Many other Indians of this tribe received amounts
' ranging from $35,000 to $122,000 for the year, while the
tribe as a whole received $1,307,114 as their returns on
lead and zinc leases on their land. Even this large sum
is small compared to the royalties received by tribes own
ing oil lands.
SENSIBLE FISH PLANTING
Walla Walla and Columbia counties, Washington, are
trying a new plan to keep their water stocked with game
fish, says a Seattle paper.
Formerly they released tiny trout, with the result
that about 95 out of 100 died. Now they’re holding the
fish until they are from seven to nine inches long; about
85 out of every 100 lives.
Good sense to this; it saves money, is more efficient
and prevents the taking of small fish which, under the
law, have to be thrown back, many times to die.
Money has no value; it merely represents value. Con
gressmen are not fools they merely represent their consti
tuencies.
The only reason we’er against Qawes for President
is, we don’t think it quite fair to let the same man who
writes the nation’s music be its ruler.
There’s one nice thing about hitting the mountain
trail, says the old sourdough, ti can’t hit back at you.
No matter how much you write on it, it still remains
a telegraph blank one of the local Signal Corps men yodles.

REVEALS DECALOGUE
OF GOLD RUSH DAYS
. SACRAMENTO, Cal., Sept. 26. (/P)~ j
jAn illustrated post card of gold rush |
days, dated 1854, one of the first writ- !
jten to “folks back east,” has come into ;
the possession of Miss Eudera Ga- j
route, state historian.
“Ten commandment for the Argo- j
nauts” are illustrated by Charles Nahl, j
pioneer artist. Among them are i
these:
“Thou shalt have no other claim i
than one.
“Thou shalt not go prospecting be- j
fore thy claim gives out; neither i
shalt thou take thy gold dust to the ;
gaming table, for monte, roulette, faro, ]
lansqtlbnnet and poker will prove to |
thee the more thou piittest down the I
less thou takest up.
“Thou shalt not remember what j
thy friends at home do on the Sab- |
bath Day. Six days thou mayest dig !
or pick all the body can stand. On !
Sunday washest all thy dirty shirts, j
darnest all thy stockings, tap thy j
boots, makest thy bread and boil thy j
pork and beans.
“Thou shalt not grow discouraged
nor think of going home before thou j
hast made thy pile.
“Thou shalt not steal pick or shovel j
from thy fellows, nor pick out speci- j
mens from the company pan and put j
them in thy mouth.
“Thou shalt not tell false tales i
about ‘good diggings in the moun- j
tains’ to thy neighbors to benefit a I
friend wdio hath mules and pro- !
visions to sell.” /
CHINESE Ft TO FIND
PROMISED PROSPERITY.
FOOCHOW, Fukien Province, China i
i '
Sep.t 26. (IP)—The people of Fukien j
are wondering where is to be found
all the prosperity promised by the Na
tionalists when they swept this pro
vince some months ago.
Taxes are higher than last year.
Poppy planting and opium production
is as widespread as it was twelve
months ago. In the cities the labor
unions have forced higher wages, but
the ordinary coolies and peasants are
no better off than before.
“HUSKY” NOT SUFFERING
Husky Galloway says that he is suf
fering no ill after affects from the
buggy ride that he gave Pvt. “Gimpy”
Harris as a sequel to the Dempsey
Tunney fight. He further states that
the stop at the top of the hill was to
give the passenger a chance to light ,
another cigarette with which to sooth J
his nerves after the strain they under- J
went listening to the fight returns, i
The honor is acknowledged and it is i
further suggested that a wheel barrow \
contest be made a part of the regular J
Fourth of July events. !
ENGINEER TO REMAIN i
i
After consultation with Captains i
and Wolverton it has been decided •
that Mr. Galletly will remaii^Jn Sew- {
ard for a short time to correct some J
of the difficulties that have come to J
light at the local radio station since 4
the new high power set has been in
regular operation. Consequently he
was not a departing passenger on the t
Aleutian Sunday morning as he had f
expected and as was stated in the
columns of The Gateway Saturday
evening. ^
