EPITOMIZED THE SITUATION
Commenting upon the recent discovery by Babcock:
and Downey, Arthur Brisbane in his Hearst column, says:
“One cheerful note in the day’s news . . . more
geld has been found in Nuka Bay district, 70 miles west
of Seward, and an old-time gold stampede has been start
ed .. .
Discovery of gold in California in ’49 killed off a de
pression. Discovery of Klondike gold helped kill off an
other depression. Perhaps this Alaska discovery will give
our country the ‘gold cure’ that it needs, after a debauch
of war and stock gambling.”
Thus the glad tidings of the rift in the sombre cloud
which has hovered over Alaska and the nation is received
in the States.
Ernest Walker Sawyer, speck I representative of the
Department of the Interior, wires that every big news
paper in the land featured International News and As
sociated Press dispatches, and requested that any wor
thy mining news obtainable be wired to the States, and
advising that everyone take advantage of this interest
to help usher in the great era of prosperity coming to
Alaska and the States.
Thus, the step-child of the nation, its sturdy pioneers
who refuse to be defeated by any calamity which might
afflict the mother nation, are looked to not only make
Alaska what it should be, but to actually solve the great
est national crisis in our history.
The question remains if Alaskans are equal to the
responsibility thus placed upon them, or rather begged
from them by 125,000,000 distraught people. It is surely
a signal for banishing any pessimism that might occur,
to encourage men who have suffered the depression of
money shortage to shoulder their picks and rip the moun
tains and creeks of their precious hordes.
By this token we not only crush back the barriers
which have stood in the way of our progress, but rein
stated the real Alaska—the Alaska of iron men and iron:
courage, independent and not leaning upon any man’s
bounty or initiative for their weal and woe.
Will the croaker, the financial failure, the sluggard i
too timid to enter the ranks of the army of progress, the I
pessimist and the follower of the line of least resistence
halt this opportunity to go forward?
The man with surplus money who is waiting for
something to happen While he hoards it now sees the
thing happening. A few dollars put behind the real pros
pector in the form of a grubstake, the organizing of
forces for taking the discoveries to the men of big means
awaiting their coming is all that is needed to banish for
a half century any depression which might be stealing up
on us.
The outside world looks to Alaskans to initiate; it
will follow sure as night follows day. It is history, vivid
and real repeating itself .
Brisbane epitomized the situation.
The playboys who once were so enthusiastic over a
pair of million-dollar legs, now go into ecstacies over a
beef shank boiled with carrots and onions.

BETTER TIMES ARE COMING
Don’t be Discouraged!
Don't lose the will to win .... don’t join the pessimists who
see naught but disaster ahead—
During a previous depression, the government had to is
sue paper “Clearing House Certificates” as a substitute for
money. Conditions were just as bad, only we have forgotten.
Prosperity has always followed bad times—this is one of the
laws of business cycles.
Now is the time to substitute the word “Reconstruction” for
“depression.”
Don’t be discouraged. Lend a hand to reestablish confidence.
America will see this through and emerge victorious.
Better times are coming!

FISHERMEN BUSY
Due to the presence of herring
in the bay, which may be seen
breaking near the Ocean dock, fish
ermen have been enjoying sport
with hand lines taking codfish and
black bass from the dock. The fish
bite best on high tides and some
cod measuring nearly three feet
have been taken. Members of the
USS. Gannet crew have been dem
onstrating their skill as anglers by
taking the big cod with trout
tackle and reel.
