the divine right dole
The Department of the Interior seeks to save $3,750
or thereabouts on a $75,000 tie contract awarded by the
Alaska Railroad.
Yet each session of Congress sees that body vote a
pension ot $5,000 a year to the widow of some member of
Congress. Why?
Nothing mor than keeping up the divine right prin
ciple whereby the public is compelled to undergo blood
letting that one who has performed no service to the
government may keep up the style and fashion to which
she has been accustomed.
In many instarcts these widows have large fortunes,
accumulated by the beneficiary of the franchise of the
people.
Under this system the public treasury has been loot
ed of many millions of dollars and the end is not yet.
Since it i.c announced that the Socialists will support
the French government there is no longer any excuse
for pleading poveity over war debts.
Regardless of what the remainder of the world might
boast, such as holding the longest airplane record, they
haven’t caught up in point with the crookcdest
government.
.J. P. Morgan and Andy Mellon strenuously deny that
they are listed as public enemies No. 1 and No. 2.
By special correspondent
Four fine workable beds of coal
have been found in Mt. McKinley
National Park. One bed is said to
be a very high grade of blacksmith
coal, and the second bed of such
coal found in Alaska. In the fall
after work on the road is shut down
The Alaska Road Commission put
a crew 'sans union cards) to work
mining enough coal to run the
mess house tents the next season.

Wolves for the first time have
made their appearance around the
cabins in this camp. Recently a
band of six or seven wolves chas
ed a caribou almost in the center
of the camp and within a few feet
of several buildings.

Overflow’s on the creeks ana riv
ers in this vicinity have made
mushing along them this winter
almost- impossible. Overflows along
the railroad have been making
much extra work.

It is reported a man living north
of here v/as so elated being elected
a member of the KFQD Ice Worms
he bought a car with a worm drive.
* * * *
Building activities have boomed
around here with new houses, gar
age and tool house along 10th Ave
nue, and some 30 to 40 acres fenc
ed in with barb wire.
* * *
Recent activities in the matter
of taking title to land along the
Alaska Railroad, have resulted in
John Stephens taking title to a
homestead at Windy; D. E. Stubbs
has received final papers for a fox
farm and trading site here; W. H.
Baker applied for title to his ranch
near here; a homestead entry has
been completed on an area at
Lake Otto; final proof papers have
been forwarded here by the land
office-for the Mauice Moerno home
stead entry.

All cabins but two are occupied
| here this winter.

Seems funny anyone should start
| equipping airships with the dot
! and dash code when voice could
be used just as well with no addi
tional weight to the ship. A buz
j zard mauling the stick in a bad
wind would sure have a heck of a
time telling he was NW by W3/4W
Ikuryignugumuk <not on the map)
by the dot and dash method. All
up-to-date ships, even those that
i paddle around in the deep blue
sea. talk right out through the
| “loud yeller’’ at you and say it in
the King’s English, too; even our!
i cat understands their lingo.
