SMOKING OUT THE COONS
The Pathfinder pays:
“If a brown Kodiak bear has twins, one brown and
the other black, they become subjects to supervision by
two different government departments. The Agricultural
Department is charged with the protection of brown
bears while the Interior Department ministers to the
grizzly bears.” Even the Commerce Department has to
Horn in on the bear question by being charged with the
welfare of all polar bears under the American flag.
“Similarly if a man shoots a fox in Alaska he must
settle accounts with the Agricultural Department, but if
he traps the fox he is amenable to the Commerce Depart
ments.
“A Federal highway can be built by any one of four
governmental agencies. Ordinarily it is constructed by
the Bureau of Public Roads of the Agricultural Depart
ment. But if it runs thru a national forest the Forest Ser
vice (same department) must build it. If it traverses a
national park the work must be done by the National
Park Service of the Interior Department. And, if it hap
pens to be in Alaska, its construction is by the Engineer
Corps of the War Department.”
And one might add that if a man takes the contents
of another’s cache and does not leave an address and con
fession, the loser must gum-shoe the evidence, compile a
complaint without technicalities so that it will hold wat
er, and in fact perform all duties supposedly those of a
Federal officer, unless the latter can secure an order
from a District Judge to investigate. Otherwise he must
defray his own expenses.
QU1EN SABE
Says the Eastern press:
The depression has eliminated a number of the set
tled wealthy families and their younger generations are
reduced tc a levei with other young pople.
Intrenched wealth has largely disappeared.
Month by month the percentages of busted estates
increases in each community, etc., etc.
The public have no money with which to buy food and
other satisfactions.
The farmers are finding their farms sold from over
their heads.
Home owners are surrendering their homes to the
mortgagees.
Money changed hands in these transactions.
Now it is up to someone to tell us who has this money
at the present time.
‘Tere Le Jeu.ne tells us that the Iriquois ate the fleas
and lice with which they were infected; not because they
'liked to eat them, but in order to get even with the pests.
It was their rudimentary notion of poetic justice.” —Fere
Marquette. That was centuries ago. In Alaska today we
have Eskimos, or perhaps they’re Indians, who eat lice
Die whole day icng; as busy as monkeys.
No one can devise a system of government that has
not been tried. The crux is, you must change man, not
systems.
The prize award for the best emblem of “Nature in
the Raw” was awarded by Lucky Strike cigarettes to
Rill Tingler of Fail banks, who sent them a picture of a
sourdough.
