FINDING OUT ABOUT ALASKA
Apparently some portions of the east are getting their
^ideas of Alaska elsewhere than from the movie screen,
says the Seattle Star, which invariably depicts the Terri
tory as a waste of snow and ice, populated entirely by dog
teams, “mounties” and luscious half-breed gals who turn
out to be white, thank God! in reel nine.
We quote, in proof, the Detroit News:
Red, luscious and altogether a success are Alaskan
strawberries. Alaska has five agricultural experiment
stations, at Sitka, Matanuska, Fairbanks, Kodiak and j
Rampart “The several stations,” says a report of the |
United States Department of Agriculture, “have demon
strated that strawberries can be successfully and profita
bly grown in Alaska.”
These berries are just one manifestation. Potatoes
at the Sitka station produced 322 bushels per acre, 84 per
cent first grade. Cross-breeding has developed hardy
cattle, each yielding 4000 to 6000 pounds of milk a year.
Such facts forecast at no remote date a mighty Alas
ka—a great state of, and a splendid partner in the Ameri
can Union—a new Northwest.
Admiral Macgruder is now doing the stormy petrel
ing for the Navy.
HOW THEY STARTED
Countless stories, true stories at that, have been pub
lished to illustrate how poor boys have risen to fame and
fortune in this land of opportunity. A new list recently /
compiled includes the following:
John J. Bernet, once fired from his job as a black
smith’s helper because he could not accurately judge when
a piece of iron was properly heated, is now president of
the Erie Railroad.
Walter L. Ross, president of the Nickel Plate system,
and Harry M. Adams, head of the Western Pacific, both |
started as messenger boys. R. B. White, president of the j
Jersey Central, began as a telegraph operator. Lawrence j
A. Downs, new head of the Illinois Central, was once a
rodman with a surveying crew.
Edward G. Steubert, president of the Standard Oil
Company of Indiana, was once a newsboy, and Robert H.
McElroy, vice-president of the same company, was a mes
senger boy and newspaperman.
Samuel Rubel, now owner of millions of dollars worth
of New York property, quit a job at $3 a week 30 years
ago because his employer would not raise him to $4.50 a
week.
Thomas Moses, president of the United States Fuel
Company of Illinois, once a mule driver, later, a reporter,
now has 40,000 men under his management.
The list might be extended to a great length. In every
community are examples of men who have risen from pov
erty and obscurity by sheer energy and grit. The road
is open for thousands more.
The late Senator LaFollette delivered. the longest
speech ever made in Congress, 19 hours, during a filibus
ter against an emergency currency bill in 1909.
The Methodists gave a prize of $1,000 for an oration
on prohibition, but they might have gotten one on either
side of the question out of the Congressional Record for
nothing.
We read that a young lady “gave up her job in the
soup works to study economics.” And probably found
that it is an effective measure of economy to eat plenty of
soup.
Most people are honest up to about $50,000, and law
abiding from grand larceny up.
Wine, women and song have turned into bootleg, flap
pers and jazz.

DEL NORTE BOOMING
RESULT OF STRIKES
DEL NORTE, Colo., Oct. 27. (/P)—
Ralph Kreeps, and associates who
| staked claims on Myers Creek last
; fall, have been doing a little work at
; that place and have struck a vein that
j assays $60 in gold and $5 in silver to
! the ton. The vein is over two and
one-half feet wide. They intend to
ship a car of ore as soon as possible
and expect to develop this claim at
once.
The claim is located about 16 miles
northwest of Del Norte on Myers
Creek. It begins to look as if Del
Norte will have another thriving min

here as a result of the bonanza Sum
Imitville gold strike.
