STEAMSHIP AHOY!
The sun may rise and set out to the Westward but
we have it on good authority that the Starr is with
them always—long may she wave
We refer of course to the S. S. Starr of the San
Juan Fishing & Packing Company, the staunch little
vessel which again made the home-port yesterday mark
ing completion of the first voyage of the season to the
Bristol Bay area. We vividly recall the deep mourning
felt herabout last winter when the Starr was reported
lost. This was followed by general jubilation when the
news finally leaked thru that the Starr was still upon
the face of the deep and still able to battle thru the per
ilous seas of Uncle Sam’s farthest west.
Once in a decade of pink moons a town or a section
or a whole country can learn to love and revere a faith
ful vessel and learn to call her by her first name and to
dwell upon her comings and goings as of the doings of
the first born.
Out to the Westward that sturdy vessel, the Starr
holds such a place in the affections of the far dwellers.
Thru the short days and the long stormy nights of the
winter she is practically the sole touch with civilization.
The island bound inhabitants or those on the far penin
sula count upon her arrivals as red letter days; her calls
and departures are subject of conversation at every fire
side.
And well might it be so, especially in the mind and
heart of him who has traversed those uglv, dangerous
treacherous, uncharted seas that pound the coasts of
island and mainland in that vast stretch of country reach
ing far out to the middle of the Pacific. In summer it is
no voyage for a novice but in winter when howling gales
lash the most rugged coast of the world it demands
brains, skill and daring and beneath the feet a sturdy
craft fit to do utmost battle with the elements.
That’s whv the people of Seward and the Westward
have learned to love the Starr and pay homage to her
navigators. Long may she wave.
It sure would be farmer relief if Congress would
get thru talking and actually do something about it

When the professor remarked the deplorable ten
dency to the u^e of slang, the flapper agreed by saying:
“You slobbered a bibful, sir.”
THE NOOSE THAT IS CHOKING
Robert Frothingham, author, lecturer and world
wide traveler says that our Territorial government has
Tammany skinned for being a close corporation. That’s
true and Alaskans have deliberately let it be true. Too
busy attending to our own business and ways of making
a living we have paid scant attention to the new crop of
office seekers who live off us. The average voter never
looks at the score card until November. It would be piti
ful if it were not laughable that we so easily put our
heads in the noose that is choking us.
Doesn’t appear to be much forethought or system
or cooperation among the herring fishermen to the
Westward. Herring appeared at various places early
this spring with no one on hand to catch them Result—
halibuters out of bait and had to send to Southeastern
Alaska for help.
It cannot be denied that every married person has
taken at least one desperate chance with fate.

“ Resurrection ”
A WONDERFUL PICTURE OF THE FAMOUS BOOK BY
COUNT LEO TOLSTOY
The grand old Russian writer who stirred the world with
his powerful novels of Russian life a generation ago.
This is the powerful story of life 40 years ago when Rus
sia was both Heaven and Hell, where the acme of aris
tocracy and peasantry flourished, where the masses
slaved for the classes more than in any other land, where
the word Siberia made strong men tremble, where the
anarchist and nihilist were most active.
Tolstoy’s books are classics and this one is rated as one
of the best. A carefully selected cast headed by
ROD LA ROCQUE
DOLORES del RIO — MARC MacDERMOTT,
and COUNT LLYA TOLSTOY, son of the
world famed author.
This play is a story drama highly spiced but should be
seen by every intelligent person.
We will show a FOX NEWS with it.
NOTE: Admission will be 50c and 25c
