STILLING THE VOICE OF THE WOLF PACK
It has been many years since the voice of the roving j
wolf pack floated down upon Hope while the blizzard
whined and challenged. # j
And it will be a long time before the symbolic j
phrase: “Wolf at the door” may find lodgement in the,
historic old placer camp.
It is at Hope, which lives up to its name, that one
finds embodied die simcn-pure frontier family and the
slogan: “one for all; all for one.”
" While the wolf has been howling at the doors of a j
great portion of the nation, and his human prototype,
has been ravaging the land, the happy families at Hope
have laughed and played themselvse thru the winter, i
crowding each moment with cozy joy and good cheei.
It requires an ingenious people to conjure up diver-:
sions isolated in enforced intimacy. But. Hope has
done it, just like the aristocrats of the frontier fraterni-'
ty have done it down the ages.
The winter has been crowded with home-made hos
pitality and diversion, what with . banqueting, social
gatherings, programs, etc. Spring finds the. symbol of
the rich old mining diggings a perennial, which neither
isolation, depressions or other untoward eventualities
may banish. . . !
The people of Hope epitomize the unbeatable spirit, i
and at the same time carry on the treasured traditions!
of the frontier worthy of emulation where men gather.
SAN FRANCISCO AND ALASKA
Recent visits of Alaska business men in San Fran
cisco indicate the great metropolis of the Golden Gate j
has again turned its eyes upon Alaska as a field for in-!
vestment and trade.
In this latter respect San Francisco will meet an out- i
stretched hand, because it was California capital which j
gave the first impetus to Alaska trade and brought its;
value before the world.
Casting about one finds that practically every big,
industry in the Territory has felt the influence of San 1
Francisco capital and aside from such great pioneering!
enterprises as the Kennecott Copper Company, San
Francisco has pioneered the remainder of the field.
Long before the importance of Alaskan fisheries
presented itself to the world ships from San Francisco
plied Alaskan waters taking back cargoes of ice. It was
at this time that the commanders of the old wind-jam
mers spied out other resources and presented them to i
the Californians.
Hence the big salmon fisheries, the largest revenue
producing item in the Territory’s fiscal affairs, was born.!
Having this m mind and the promise of becoming I
contributors to Alaskan progress, Alaska awaits the
day when San Francisco goods will flow into the Terri
tory in, larger volume and old connections, carrying with j
them sentimental as well as commercial interests, will be j
re-established.
Other great Pacific Coast cities have bled Alaska
and returned nothing. San Francisco has earned its
right to the markets which totals tens of millions of dol
lars annually.
The most edifying bank run is one where a three
inch giant is reducing a gravel bank running a dollar to
the yard.

CAMERON'S CAFE
EXPECTED TO OPEN
FOR BUSINESS TODAY
To Scotchmen the mention of
the name of “Cameron” conjures
up skirling pipes and the swish
and swing of the Cameron kilt as
the bra bricht moonlicht floods
hill and dell o'bonnie Scotland.
To Alaskans it is synonymous
with “Good Eats.”
And that is what awaits the
epicures at the Cameron Cafe,
spick and span under the hand of
carpenter and painter, which
throws open its doors today.
Charlie Cameron requires no in
troduction to Seward. It was while
conducting a cafe several years
ago that he wrote his name indel
libly on the business rolls of the;
Gateway City.
Nor does his fame as a caterer
halt at the boundaries of Alaska, I
but soars away to San Francisco, j
Calif., to Edmonton, Alberta, and j
other Canadian cities, where'
“Cameron’s” emblazoned the door
way of the largest and best cafes
catering exclusively to a dlscrimi- j
nating palate. Again we find it in I
Anchorage maintaining the same!
high standard of excellence one
may look for in Seward’s revived
Cameron’s.
In its spick and span appearance
after undergoing thorough reno
vation, Cameron’s is inviting and
pleasing to the eye and prepared
to handle any press of business
which might be imposed. A priv- j
ate dining room has been set off!
in the rear for large parties and
banquets, and a curtained parti
tion divides the lunch counter
from the tables for the accomoda
tion "of families and parties.
“One hundred per cent Alas
kan and 100 per cent American
in its standard and personnel.” is
the slogan Mr. Cameron has set
for his cafe.

7,000 sheep here have weathered

as there has been very little snow
and the thermometer has not reg
istered much lower than freezing
at any time.
Preparations are being made for
spring shearing which will be done
in June.

be an interesting Travelogue reel of Turkey.
A very interesting play with a background of the airplane in

workers—rich—and poor—wasters and creators. A throbbing
tale of of vhe struggle between the two.
