WELCOME TO SEWARD AND ALASKA
Again Seward is host to three prominent Ameri-j
cans, Senator Hale of Maine, Assistant Attorney Gen-;
eral Richardson and Samuel Stern of Fargo, N. D.
Seward business men had the pleasure Tuesday to j
meet the distinquished gentlemen at the Chamber of
Commerce luncheon. And, we must admit, the visitors
met some regular fellows, Mr. Average Alaskan citizen.
Seward is always happy to greet visitors from the
States and especially men so prominent in the public
eye, and also, who are personally interested in this
great Northern land. Coming to Alaska for a big game
hunt perhaps brings them a little closer to us for they
get off the beaten track and come to learn our real
thoughts, hopes and ambitions. They visit, not for a
day, but for weeks; ample time in which to assimilate
perspectives. j
Such visitations reflect to Alaska’s credit and Alas- j
kans could wish for nothing better than more groups |
such as these to come North in increasing numbers each;
year. We had not thought of it in that light before but j
if such a plan could mature,, we could almost guarantee!
our visitors would come to love Alaska as its citizenry, j
HE’S TELLING ‘EM AND HOW!
Due to the splendid publicity efforts of Ernest Wal-!
ker Sawyer, assistant to Secretary Wilbur of the Inter- j
ior Department, some portions of the East are getting
their ideas of Alaska elsewhere than from the movie!
screen, which invariably depicts the Territory as a:
waste of snow and ice, populated entirely by dog teams,!
“mounties” and luscious half-breed gals who turn
out to be white in reel nine.
Sawyer is telling them about Alaska strawberries, j
our grains, about our farms and forests, our swim- j
ming and bathing beauties—you bet we got ‘em—cat- j
tie raising, fur farms, etc., down the line, omitting the j
hackneyed snow and glacier which is no worse in Alas-;
ka than in the East.
Such facts forecast at no remote date—a great
Alaska—a mighty state of, and a splendid partner in
the American Union—a new Northwest.
It is recalled that the other day the King of Siam,
who is visiting these good United States, bestowed the
Order of the White Elephant upon some one. What’s
the matter with conferring the same honor upon the
well known Muscle Shoals?

Stewart Edward White, the author who would
save Alaska’s great brown bear for posterity, thinking
they are being wantonly killed, is coming back North
again, we note with interest Funny how time changes
one’s thoughts and impressions. When a youth Mr.
White was just about ye editor’s favorite author. Now,
with a few gray hairs on the skull bone, he reminds us
of an Alaskan Peninsula volcano, spouting all the time. I

Cheer up, faint heart, the picture is never so bad as
one may think. There's lots of work coming up for those
who desire to earn an honest dollar.

Eskimos love to have their teeth pulled, it is said.
Some white men like to have their legs pulled.
Permanent wealth comes from mines. Nothing can
beat gold mining as a permanent wealth-producer.

mm HE BUGGED
FIVE BEAR: SMS IS NOT
I
Though he claims he is not a
big game hunter, Senator Hale of
Maine bagged five Alaska brown
bears on the hunt just completed
on Kodiak Island, in the Karluk
'Lake area, which was participated
i in also by Assistant Attorney Gen
| eral Seth W. Richardson and Sam
j uel Stern, Republican National
! Executive Committeeman, who
j each brought down two large
iand beautiful specimens of the
big and ferocious beasts.
We suppose they also, do not
claim to be big game hunters?
In any case the three are hereby
unanimously elected to the prom
inent Alaskan Order of Good Fel
lows.
Senator Hale discovered that
one of beasts he shot had three
: cubs, so with the assistance of
[ Charles Madsen, field manager
| of the Kodiak Guides Association
| under which auspices the party
entered the field, the cubs were j
rounded up and the Senator has j
them with him here, taking them !
to the Washington, D. C. Zoo.
Yesterday afternoon the three j
gentlemen were luncheon guests |
of the Chamber of Commerce. *
They are remaining in the city
until Friday going South on the
SS Alaska. In the meantime, they
can be seen daily on the Seward
j golf links swapping ’em far, wide !
land handsome. j
