ONE’S POINT OF VIEW
There are many, old and newcomers alike, who de
plore the fact that there is little opportunity in Alaska.
By opportunity they generally mean to conduct a lucrative
business or possibly to amass a fortune.
But there is another kind of opportunity before which
all others fade into insignificance; that of reaping a good
and contented livelihood from the soil and the sea. It is;
all a matter of viewpoint, of course.
Down on Pleasant Island, in Icy Straits, Southeastern
Alaska, a group of Scandinavians decided in 1919 to settle.
Today there are 21 happy families living the life of the
well known Riley.
They have their farms and cattle and all products
are disposed of in the immediate area; to canneries and
fishermen, principally. They have their school and
church and all those things which might be found in sim
ilar villages.
True, there are those who will say: “Well, who wants
to live like that?”
To which we reply: “It’s the point of view, brother;
one’s point of view.”
VALUE OF GOOD WILL
One of the striking developments of recent years in
the business world is the increased value which individ
uals and corporations place upon the good will of the pub
lic they serve.
Good will is really only another name for confidence, |
for if a business concern has the confidence of the com-1
munity it has its good will. It often takes years of fair;
dealing to build up the great asset of public confidence, j
yet it may be lost by a few shady transactions.
For this reason, everlasting vigilance is required on ;
the part of owners of a business, to see that not only are j
their own principles and policies sound, but that the spirit i
of the establishment is carried out by every person con-!
nected with it, even to the lowest salaried employee.
Sir Hubert Wilkins reports he saw cock-roaehes and
sea fleas under the polar ice. Think of the time and money;
he could have saved by looking under the kitchen sink and1
frisking the pooch!

I
Amid the roar of air hammers,
driving bolts to fasten her timbers,
the largest wooden vessel ordered
; in Seattle since the World war days,
I is taking form in the Berg Ship
yards in Ballard. One hundred
men, as busy as bees, are shaping
the 226-foot hull as sawed frames
22 inches by 14 inches are put in
place. Five hundred thousand feet
of Douglas fir already has been
used in the vessel and before she is
completed another 500.000 feet will j
be needed.
The vessel is costing Uncle Sam j
$400,000 and she is being built for ,
the United States Bureau of In
dian Affairs to replace the famous
schooner Boxer in the work of car
rying government school teachers
and supplies to isolated little set
tlements along the Alaska coast as
far as Point Barrow in the Arctic, j
She will also serve government hos- J
pitals and reindeer stations in the j
North.
As the vessel is to cruise in the J
ice-filled waters of the Far North, j
she will be sheathed in Australian i
iron bark from her bilges to the i
water line. This exceedingly hard j
wood also is used in the stem and j
sternpost. The cabins will be fin- i
ished in teak. j
Several names for the new ship J
have been suggested, but none has i
been chosen. The word Alakshak, |
submitted by Ernestine Jessen of ]
Seward, has appealed to the fancy
of officials of the United States i
Bureau of Indian Affairs and they J
are giving it serious consideration. J
The vessel is expected to be i
launched in December, completed |
on March 15, and commissioned j
April 1. She will have accommo- i
dations for 50 passengers and a crew \
of 28 men. The vessel will have a J
cold storage room, between decks, J
with a capacity of 2,000 reindeer i
carcasses, which will be the prin- ■
cipal homeward cargo of the vessel j J
during her Alaska curise.
The ship will be commanded by i
S. T. L. Whitlam, former master of [
the schooner Boxer and a veteran J
of the Arctic waters.—The Seattle *
Times.
