HELPING OUT THE BEAKS
Despite the demand for feeding babies and reducing the bread
lines of the adults in the States, John M. Holzworth, president of the
National Association of Wild Life Conservationists, Inc., finds time to
sidetrack such insignificant matters to plead the cause of the Alaska
brown bear. The Gateway is in receipt of a clip sheet, composed of ex
pressions front a number of newspapers “away down east,’’ urging the
creation of additional reservations for the brown bear. He asks The
Gateway to join him in his “noble service.”
Fair enough. We heartily agree that something should be done
about it. let all those advocates of stifling the Territory for the bene
fit of a few individuals who relish shooting a wild animal for the fun
of seeing it die, harken to the cry against hoarding; buy a large slice
of the public domain somewhere in the black belt of Harlem, set a
force of penniless laborers to razing the buildings and domiciles cal
culated to produce the correct psychic reactions in an irracible brown
bear. Then roimd up the racketeers and toss them into the inclosure,
and invite the gang out to witness a demonstration of the docility of
brother Urside- We suggest Stewart Edward White as marshal of the
day, the ceremonies to be opened by his stroking a brown bear’s whis
kers.
If President Hoover really desires to display his skill he might draw
upon his metallurgical knowledge and give us an assay of Congress.
Seek and you will find. Reviewing Louis Pasteur’s “The Physiol
ogical Theory of Fermentation,” we find many secrets adaptible for
these dry days.
Alaskans of today talk and hope as Alaskans did 20 years ago—if
you get what we mean.
Shishaldin was considerate in pulling off her show on an unin
habited island instead of adding it to what’s going on in the States.
Edward A. Filene tells us that “the great trouble with Wall Street
is not their greed; the only trouble is their shortsightedness.” If they
failed to overlook anything in the present instance, we haven’t no
ticed it.
Editor says: “Give Alaska back to the Russians.” No such luck!

FIH BITES IRE HELD
FOB PETER IIKON
Funeral services for Peter “Pis
tol Pete” Anderson, who passed
away March 8, following a paralytic
stroke, were held [Sunday after
noon at the Seward Funeral Par
lors. The rites were under the
auspices of the local Pioneers of
Alaska, Igloo No. 9, of which the
well known oldtimer was an es
teemed member.
A large attendance was present
at the services to pay their last re
spects to the man who for 47 years
made Alaska his home and who was
known practically throughout all
of Alaska. A number of beautiful
floral offerings were placed on the
casket by a number of the old
timer’s Seward friends.
Rev. E. E. Reisner officiated at
the services and following the eul
ogy a funeral throng viewed the
remains of the one who now sleeps
an eternal and dreamless sleep
Pallbearers were Curtis R. Mor
ford, Ludvig Larsson, James Clin
ton, Thomas Beasley, Cole McDou
gal and W. W. Ward, nearly all of
whom were fellow members of the
departed Pioneer.
QUEER NOISES HO
LOCAL 1IITI0II FIELD
It Ls reliably reported that a lo-:
cal saxaphone enthusiast has for j
several days been journeying to
the aviation field and hangar to
take saxaphone lessons.
This extraordinary and thought
ful measure is being taken by the
saxaphone student so that he won’t
disturb his fellowmen in the city,
but is is said that he failed to show
consideration for the hibernating
bears and other animals which
make their homes around the field.
If local residents keep a close
watch these days they will see this
student shouldering a sax and, with
music teacher, and head for the
distant field. The student asked
the Gateway police reporter not
his music teacher, head for the
purpose of identification it can be
said he is the oldest son of Mr. and
Mrs. John Rosness of this city.
