SENATOR DIMOND IS RIGHT
When Senator Anthony J. Dimond said he believed
the tide of population is turning back to Alaska-he said
a mighty pleasing mouthful. He is one of our best lift
optimists and we believe he has ample grounds foi h .
opmion.^he gtates the invariable rule has been that
where new country has been opened up to the ever-in
creasing flood of tourists by new roads, it has been fol
lowed bv settlement. They seem to be hurrying madly
thru but many of them stop, look and listen. 1 hey bring
new ideas that never occurred to the old inhabitant;
they open up a service station and build a home or start
raising the ring-tailed wimpus which nobody ever thot
could be done. They can even start a beauty pailoi on
the desert and get away with it.
In Alaska with her thousands of tourists coming
every year getting into actual touch with the country
and learning at first hand that it is not a country of
perpetual ice and snow, many are impressed and see
the word “Opportunity” writ large under the “Welcome”
sign. These people come back for a second look, bring
ing perhaps a new idea with them or the determination
to put some money into a venture of which they have
heard. Compared with the whole mass of travelers,
these are few in number, it is true, but they all count
and they induce others to follow them. Furthermore, in
most instances they stick.
Since the tide of outgoing population has about
reached its lowest ebb, there is every reason to believe
Senator Dimond is incontrovertibly right when he said
the tide is swniging the other way.
As much as we hate to admit it the Gateway has
again broken into the alleged “Big Time” this time
with a column story on the proposed International High
way which was republished in the July 7 edition of the
AJew York Sunday Times.
The reason some rich people are stingy is also the
reason they are rich.
That goat that tried to butt an automobile off the
road in Keystone Canyon over near Valdez, and bumped
off the bumper probably now knows what a real head
ache is.
“I drink wet and vote dry for my constituents/' is
the admission of a United States senator. Darn good
thing wet nurses are still in vogue in the South.
That German lad who is attempting to propell his
his Arctic skin canoe from Seward to New York must
be convinced by now that he's up against a sure enuff
skin game.
We hesitate to poke fun at the small army of college
professors who offered their suggestions on how to run
a newspaper in reply to a questionaire submitted to
them by an association of midwestern dailies. The rea
son for the hesitancy is the realization that, were the
situation reversed, our suggestions as to how to run a
college probably would be wobbly in logic as were those
of the professors in regard to the fourth estate.
If that “linseed oil” hadn’t leaked on the dock over
at Kodiak that bootlegger might have got away with
his 50-gallon shipment. Those sleuths over there can
smell moonshine a mile.
A member of Hoover’s Economic Board says
greater efficiency and lower costs will solve the farm
problem. Which is a suggestion to Cy Perkins to cease
arising at 3 a. m. to go to work and not retiring at all,
and making the hired man find his own tobacco.
“What Ho!” says the farmer to the manufacturer,
“had your little tariff this morning?” “You bet,” says
the manufacturer, “How come by you?” “Oh, I’m just
cie-bent-uring around.”

STONE AGE MAN, THE EARLIEST
RACE OF “MODERN” MEN
FOUND IN AFRICA
CAPETOWN, British South Africa !
July 25, (fP)—'Whe nthe Lion As- j
sociation for the advancement of i
science meets here July 22 its delib- !
erations will be in territory which i
has come to be more than ordinary j
interest to men of science.
Anthropologists and archeologists }
have found South Africa a rich j
field for their investigations into !
the origin and early records of man |
kind, and paleontologists regard !
the fossil beds of the region as po- !
tential sources of many important I
discoveries yet to come.
It was at Boskop, in the Trans- '
vaal, that the famous “Boskop j
man” was found; that is to say, j
enough of his jawbone and brain
case were found to lead scientists
to deduce that here once lived a
Stone age man akin to the Cor
Magnon race, the earliest race of '
| “modern” men known in Europe, j
It was in a cave at Broken Hill
mine, in northern Rhodesia, that
the “Rhodesian man” was discover
ed in 1921, surrounded by primitive
stone and bone implements. The
.extraordinary brow ridges in the
skull of this fellow, his ape-like
pelvis and other characteristics, led
to his classification as a creature
| “half way between the Neanderthal
man and the gorilla.”

OFF FOR BISHOPS
It can safely be assumed that i
,the gamy rainbow trout of that un
paralelled Alaskan fishing stream,
Russian River, are putting up the
battle of their young lives right
| now. Yesterday morning a group
of Seward anglers including Mrs. ■
D. C. Brownell, Mrs. Luke Elwell,
'Mrs. Leonard Hopkins and Miss!
Alva Peterson left town for the fav- !
orite spot. They were accompanied
by Irvin Dyer and Elbert Kunz who
'will return to Seward this evening,
I leaving the finny tribe to battle it
out with the feminine anglers for
the next several days.
