A COLD WINTER EXPECTED
Many oldtimers are looking for
signs to prognosticate the coming
winter, in response to an inquiry,
one Sourdough informed us in the.
following choice Chinook: “Hyas
cole snass; hyas snass; no muck-'
amuck; you too-much wawa.”j
After considerable cogitation I
we agreed with him that it was so. j
There is no infallible sign in Poor
Richard’s Almanac concerning the i
coming winter. If the coal bin is|
empty it will be mighty cold
weather. Some oldtimers tell by
the breast of a goose, declaring if
it has feathers on it, there will be.
a heavy fall of snow around Xmas, i
Others state that if porcupines are
quilled it indicates the opposite.
As a prognostigator an Aleut is
our best bet. An Aleut is always as
intelligent as he smells. Take a hot
stove, an Aleut and (not thou,
sweetheart* a closed room, and the j
internal combustion rates exceed
ingly high. Very much so.
So, to make a long story short,
your guess Is as good as anyone
else’s.
Wnat the world apparently
needs is not policies but poultices.
One should not be too hard
upon our European debtors Like
our own nobility, they must have j
funds to live in the manner they
are accustomed to.
It is announced that the various
departments at Washington are
“deeply interested in acquiring ac
curate information about Alaska
and her needs.” If we remember
right, we heard this same expres- 1
sion some 20 years ago.
Last year the girls wore ’em ■
shorter to make the boys look lon
ger. This year they are wearing
’em longer and the boys look
gloomy.

The latest addition of historical
relics to find its w^ay into Henry .
Ford’s museum is a wax group re- I
presentative of both members of j
the Republican party. 1
From Johannesburg in South)
j Africa to the Arctic, financiers,
speculators and mining men, as
well as the average public, rejoice
in the renewed scramble for gold,
the aftermath of the steady rise in
price of gold.

The biological survey boasts that
it has assisted in killing 17,475 bob
cats, wolves and coyotes in Texas.
If the President can do as well
among the bureaus in Washington
we vote to retain the biological
survey in Alaska regardless of cost.

Speaking of dictators, the pret

Instead of a moratorium, Cuba

We are not so much interested J
in stabilizing the dollar as we are j
in how to corral it.
