SETTING A GOOD EXAMPLE
In announcing that the firm is prepared to purchase this year up to
15 tons of local grown potatoes at running market prices—Seattle cost
plus freight to Seward—and that they will endeavor to handle all local
grown vegetables, head lettuce, beets, cauliflower, carrots, cabbage, kale,
spinach, cucumbers, turnips etc., the Brown & Hawkins Corporation is
setting an example which should be followed by every general merchant
in Alaska and especially in the railroad zone.
In support of this effort to keep dollars at home and at the same
time encourage self-reliance in the Territory, every citizen should make
a solemn resolve to demand local products wherever possible of supply.
This should go farther than vegetables. Local store shelves are loaded
with imported spider crab meat, while Cordova is canning Alaska’s ex
cellent Dungenes crab and offering it at a lower price than the imported
article. Smoked and salted fish, canned salmon and various jams, es
pecially strawberry and currant, are imported from California when
the berries may be grown in abundance in the railroad zone- Local
canners are preparing clams which likewise are sent to Seattle and re
turned to Alaska for sale.
Approximately $850,000 worth of products are shipped to the rail
road zone which could be produced within it. This $850,000 would give
each person in the area a fair yearly income of $1,000.
Here is a chance to make the home garden not only supply the
table but give a return in dollars.
There are three distinct Sabbaths in the Holy Land—Friday for the
Mohammedans; Saturday for the Jews, and Sunday for the Christians.
Which means three distinct excuses for slamming each other in the
pokey for violating the mandates of the various prohibition parties.
UNCLE SAM’S UNOFFICIAL AMBASSADORS
Possibly no other arm of government service enjoys the popularity
accorded the Jack Tars, who from year to year are dispatched to Al
aska on various missions. In each case the sailor boys bring something
of benefit and many engaging personalities which range all the way
from the man with gold braid on his sleeve to the'most insignificant
member of the crew.
With the natural efervescent spirit of the navy, and the pride
which goes with it, the sailor boys plunge into the social life, help
to break the monotony of too close association by the residents, and
in departing leave something of memories expressive of the homo
geny of the nation.
As one glances back over brief history and makes a comparison
between the old-time Jack Tar and the present he cannot help but
be struck by the wonderful change. The United States navy is at
once father and tutor to hundreds of thousands of young men, who
find in the service not only an opportunity to learn, but that element
of discipline which enables them to regulate their lives when leaving
the service.
There was a time when public places were closed to the man with
the bell-legged trousers and capes blouse. Today they are not only
not closed, bait have a warm welcome for the jaunty, happy youth
which stand as a bulwark against a foreign foe and who wins on his
personality.
Seward will regret w-hen the Gannet sails and takes with it so many
warm friendships that have grown up while she was in the harbor.
WHERE THE PROFITS LAY
The following figures, taken from the U. S. Census, reveal the com
parative rata of return on capital invested in the United States:
Railroad industries, 3 per cent; insurance corporations, 11 per cent;
national banking organizations, 6% per cent; manufacturing indus
tries, 14 per cent; MINING 182 PER CENT.
