FOUGHT THE GOOD FIGHT
Willi the passing of John Gilpatrick, early pioneer of Alaska and well
known and respected citizen, Alaska loses another of that vanishing host
o[ intrepid ones who came to battle with the unknown North and stayod to
grapple for its opportunities.
John Gilpatrick came to Alaska in 1887, going first to Kodiak. He soon
got the mining fever and to him belongs the honor of discovering Moose
Pass, the ultimate destiny of which still holds bright promise. That was
back moi’e than twenty years ago when excursions into unknown territory
held vaster hardships than they do today. But 'those hardy spirits of the
early days were not balked by difficulties, and it is 'to them that we owe
the progress of today Sad indeed it is to reflect that no great neward came
to many of them: and sadder is the poignant thought that the ranks are
thinning rapidly of those who may he classed as the real mongers of Alaska.

was no hint ot the tremendous sup

States' known oil sources can supply
the country for 300 years
"This great supply of oil, appar

CISMS HOOVER’S ADDRESS
AND SMITH’S SPEECH
NEW YORK, Aug. 27. (TP)—Nicho
las Murray Butter followed the re
cent criticism of Hoover on prohibi
tion and National defense with the
statement that Smith’s speech and
[“address of acceptance was a states
manlike document, well conceived,
well phrased and admirably expresr
ed and shows the Governor at hi*
best and we New York Republicans
know by long experience how good
that is.
“His setting forth the case of the
Democratic Party for this campaign
was able and on a high plane. This
can rnly be met by a like or better
argument on a similarly high plane.
He added “The Governor's viewpoint
is strickly partisan on all of the
three paramount subjects agriculture,
foreign policy and international
peaci.”
Many in Alaska were shocked Iasi
week to learn of the drowning at Wa
terfall of H. Lienes, well known Pe
tersburg resident. Lienes was em
ployed for some time by the Peters
burg cannery and has been superin
tendent of the Waterfall cannery cf
the Nakat Packing Corporation ever
since it was started.
