Next thing we expect to see a sign reading “Ye Old
Undertaking Shoppe.” Thats the last place Alaskans
want to go.
EVEYBODY TALKS; NOBODY DOES
AIASKA seems to be something like Mark Twain’s
weather: Everybody talks about it-but nobody does
anything about it, says The Seattle Star.
Senator Willis of Ohio is the latest talker. He sees
the vast possibilities of the territory and says it should be
developed. Now he will go back to Ohio and foiget
about it. ’ A1 . T, .
Probably there’s not much wrong with Alaska. It is
badly governed, it is true, but it is comparatively prosper
ous; its resources are being sought into development.
There is no pressing need for rapid-fire utilization of
everything Alaska has to offer.
But if Alaska waits for congress to do anything she
will wait in vain. She must dig in herself, remembering
that Providence aids those who aid themselves.
We fail to see wliat difference it would make if the
U. S. and Canada got together on some kind of a coop
erative basis in the matter of the strip of land on wThich
Skagway is situate. If it will help the little old game along,
why let’er buck. No use letting guy posterity reap all
the benefits. We're going to be dead a long time but of
course if there is anything in this evolution business pei
haps we may again inhabit this earth as a good dog or
something.
We wonder how Captain Billy and the rest of the
boys are making it. We’ll have to subscribe to . .Whiz
Bang” after he gets out of here. If you have’nt met him,
make his acquaintance when he arrives in Seward on his
way out. He and his gang are regular chaps.
Aimee vows she is broke and that Mafias all the coin.
That may be true,, but Aimee is in possession of the fac
tory. _
STATEMENTS OF THE
DEMPSEY EXPECTS TO GET TUN
NEY INSIDE SEVEN ROUNDS;
WILL CHASE HIM
CHICAGO, Sept. 22. <£>)—State
ments of the fighters follow: Tuenny
and am without a bruise or one hurt.
“I have reached the peak of condition
I am even more certain I will win
•than when I first engaged Dempsey
lasfc-year. I feel I have improved con
siderably so will win without great
difficulty.”
Dempsey said: I’m ready for Tunney
and this time I will win decisively. I
think I am good enough to finish Tun
ney inside of seven rounds. If he hap
pens to last the limit I am sure I will
be far enough out in front to win the
decision. If Tunney stands hp and
fights it will not take long. If I have
to chase him around the ring I will
certainly catch him. Tunney will
find me entirely different, now, my
punch is goood, my legs good, and my
physical condition is all that I can ask.
I will go in weighing about 195 pounds
just the figure I want to be at. If I
am beaten I will be willing to concede
Tunney is the reaT\champion because
he is going to fight a real Dempsey
this time.”
MORE ON BIG FIGHT
GATE FALLS SHORT
CHICAGO, Sept. 22. <jP)—Judging
from the slow orderly way in which
the crowd started pouring into th€
stadium it did not appear Rickard’s
anticipated last minute .rush for tick
ets would be realized and that the
gate would fall short of the $3,000,000
goal.
CUT PRICE TICKETS
CHICAGO, Sept. 22 {JP)—Speculators
holding large blocks of tickets, startec
unloading late this afternoon attempt
ing to get rid of $40 pasteboards foi
$20. More than 5,500 ushers, police

crew handling the crowd.
HAD A RIDE ANYWAY
The early bird catches the worm—
sometimes—but not so this morning
At daybreak this a. in. an auto wa:
seen streaking it’s solitary way to
wards Lake Kenai. In the tonneau re
posed Leon Urbach who, according t<
an uncovered report, had gotten wim
that a moose was seen yesterday ii
the lake district. In all probability
the alleged moose is still peacefull;
i foraging around out there for Urbacl
| returned to town three hours latei
worn out, his clothes hanging in rags
and without the moose or any membe
of the feathered tribe.
[ Yes, he had his hat on!
