WHY THE SNOW
. All the pictures you see about Alaska are glaciers
or snow peaks. The steamships glide close to glaciers
to give the tourist a chance to catch a possible falling
fragment of ice, or the train on the Alaska Railroad stops
long enough that the eager travelers may run out with
their snapshots and get views of a frigid river wending
its slow way to oblivion.
Its good stuff from the standpoint of the visitor.
Its not too much to imagine that those super-heated den
izens of the corn belt get a kick out of so many ice cream
cones laying out loose that away, but in a way its not so
good for Alaska.
A few pictures of humming birds and honey bees
pi
-f]
lying their trade in acres upon acres of honey-bearing
lowers would strike some soulful music into the ensem
ble and Wouldn’t do the Territory any harm at that. And
the world is yet reluctant to believe that we have the hum
ming bird ;iid the hone bee and the thousands of acres of
flowers.
..ne printed stuff that goes out for the edifica'
tion of ikoko Smith of Kokomo about the only chance
tie wi: ■ have to see a picture of an Alaska strawberry
■ tch or a flow* r garden will be* in the departmental cir
-. -- wh. T S. Rapjrimental Station, and yet the cab
ms of the oldtimers under the Arctic Circle are covered
with climbing flowers in the summer time.
An Indian wilcfitkictor at Wrangell, Alaska, who
had shown an unwonted "activity in ^splitting kindling,
building fires and doing other heavy tasks about his cab
in, has ben adjudged insane. The commission of alienists
thought he must be crazy for butting into his wife’s
work. — Seattle Times.

Q \
TO BUCK TO DOKOBSlS
DecHrlrsp 'bat a reasonable time
has elapsed sinae tbp reward for
t--e arrest, and conviction of the
reward do a poisoner was posted,
adthout. an claimant, Dan Gage,
who helped to raise $265 thru in
dividual contributions, thinks that
the money should now be returned
to the donors.
It has been five months since the
money was raised. Mr. Gage says
and the people who put it up have
receipts for the amounts given. The
sum was matched by the City
Council, making a total of $520 out
no clue has appeared which would
ilead to an arrest, much less a con
duction.
Mr. Gave contends that this is a
“reasonable” time, and since some
k'f the donors are figuring on going
Outside, oh the next boat and want
|fheir money, he proposes to take
i the matter up with the Councilman
for authority to hand the contribu
tions back.
THERE IS NO PROOF
George A. Rounsfell, junior aqua
jtic biologist of the United States
i Bureau or Fisheries, in a very inter
esting article on Alaska herring,
^declares that there is no proof of
the oft-repeated assertion that
[whales drive in the herring from
[the ocean, and showing that herr
ing reach at least 20 years of age. E
Arthur Bryant scared away a
would-be burglar who jimmied his
way into the J. R. Hickman & Co.,
store at Ketchikan.
