A DOUBLE VICTORY
Though unofficialy reported, news of the confir
mation of Warren D. Cuddy as United States District
Attorney of the Third Division, is received with great ela
tion among his host of friends here. However, there is
a double victory in this confirmation; the first being
a just reward for past public endeavors; the second in
the defeat of the Alaska delegate and his political co
horts who placed every obstacle possible before this con
firmation to put into office one of their own political
ilk, a “carpetbagger” and, without a doubt, some hair
brained “yes-man sap.”
The Alaska Republican National Committeeman,
Capt. Austin E. Lathrop, is now seen as the strong man
of Alaska in Washington, one whom the Administration
looks upon with all friendliness and which attitude
overshadows the gloomy, pessimistic vibrations from
Alaska’s so-called delegate.
The loss of three lives in Healy River Tuesday
when steel bridge spans gave way hurling the men info
a watery grave, is certainly regretable, an accident which
all citizens along the railroad belt will hear with sorrow.
Accidents of this description are so rare on the Alaska
Railroad that when one occurs the effect and reaction
is sincere and startling.
THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY
Women of America contributed approximately
$400,000,000 for all sorts of cosmetics, and in the opin
ion of J. J. Quinn, vice-president of Pinaud, Inc., this
figure will reach a billion annually before long.
Be it as it may, the ladies evidently feel that
they are getting their money’s worth. And whether
the" mere male admits it or not, the judicious use of
beautv aids by the fair sex affords many a pleasing eye
ful.
It is good to know that though the Healy River
coal mine has temporarily ceased to ship owing to the
loss of two steel spans which gave way Tuesday, that
the Fairbanks coal'supply will not be entirely cut off
owing to the immediate supply available from the Evan
Jones coal mine, at Jonesville, the foremost bitumihous
mine in the Territory.
PERHAPS! PERHAPS!
Kind-hearted persons who weep salty tears when
they think of the bread line of unemployed men in
Seattle or San Francisco should save the precious pearly
drops for a real catastrophe like the breaking
up of the Ringling’s circus. Any able-bodied man with
a few guts can cut a few timbers for a cabin and fire
wood in Alaska and find work enough anywhere in
the North for beans. If he will stay with it he will soon
have a home with spuds and onions in the garden and
the kind-faced cow looking at him over the fence Per
haps!
A good husband is one who loves and fears his
wife.

FRACTURED LEG
An accident on the lower Cleary
Iredge of the Fairbanks Explora- j
tion Co., placed one workman in ;
the hospital with a fractured leg !
and made it necessary to close the J
dredge down for repairs. Centri- ;
fugal force caused the breakage of
a motQT pulley which was revolving
at a high rate of speed, the flying
fragments being sent in all direc
tions. J. P. Laroson, a member of
the dredge crew, sustained a broken
leg when he was hit by a fragment
and suffered other minor injuries. -
