THE MINER AND THE NATION
In this era of consolidation to destroy competition
it is of note that the metal mining industry is one that
encourages and supports all others and competes with
none. A miner creates real wealth. The amount of min
eral development determines the amount of his pur
chases. His work sets in motion and sustains a legion
of other industries, all operating to the common good.
As a promoter of railroad traffic, as a creator of
new enterprises, as a customer of manufacturers of all
kinds, the miner is the best purchaser vivifying a wide
circle of activities.
It has been calculated that each underground miner
affords employment for 10 men above ground.
The miner asks for little, but self interests in Alas
ka or elsewhere suggests to every man in every capa
city, that anything that aids the mining industry aids
his own business.
When the miner has money to spend, everybody
in his vicinity is prosperous. And the truth of these
patent facts should be recognized in the legislature of
every mining State and Territory.
Help the miners, then help yourself!
LIVING A DOG’S LIFE
“Give us our freedom or give us death,” a local dog
was heard to growl yesterday, speaking from a soap
box before a pack of other “muts” which had gathered
to hear him orate why the ordinance confining dogs,
should be lifted so that, they too, like the automobile,
said to be equalv as large a nuisance, may be permitted
the freedom of the streets.
“Our owners will certainly pay a license for us,” the
hound continued, “for we have taken a caucus and one
and all agreed we are leading a dogs’ life, as it is, be
sides the city should be getting some kind of a tax from
us inasmuch as w are part and parcel of this commun
ity. Anything in it?.”
When one considers this problem it undoubtedly is
true a dog is no more of a pest than an auto; surely
dogs don’t kill or mainn as many as these hit and run
drivel's.
It is encouraging to hear Seward business people
talk about conditions picking up. We have heard that
“hard-time” so much and so often we were beginning
to get that way ourself.

FROM TIP TO BOTTOM
“The folks won’t recognize me
when I leave this place,” said
Joe Barrows, operations manager
for the Pacific International Air
ways, Inc., who has been under
treatment at the Seward General
Hospital for some days past.
Pilot Barrows first had his
tonsils removed and a few other
things straightened out. Just
about the time when he thought
he would be leaving he decided
to have his appendix removed, as
a safety measure, for it has both
ered him a little for the last
four years. He was to start on a j
diet today preparatory to the op
eration.
Yesterday he happened to catch
a glimpse of his toe which re
mined him that the toe which he
broke while playing college foot
I ball, looked like the dickens as
; well as some trouble in handling
| the joystick. “Cut the darn thing
; off,” he ordered. So that’s the
| next item on the program.
| “Might as well get fixed up
' right while I'm in good hands," he
! muttered, as he rolled over for
' another nap.
! "I’m drinking so much milk
| and cream, a glass every hour,
| that I’ll be ashamed to look a
cow id jdie face after I leave
! here,” he was heard -to murmur
5 while in the arms of Morpheus.
