COME, LET US COUNSEL TOGETHER
We have with us for a short time the leaders of
Southern California’s business life. They are viewing
Alaska with a critical eye in search of trade expansion.
This is the method by which Los Angeles attained its
greatness and solidarity.
But while the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce
is selling the lures of their wonderful country to Alaska,
Alaska asks the right to sell them the Alaskan idea. It is
simple.
What Alaska needs most is capital to develop its
mines. Here is a field offering an opportunity for Los An
geles to develop a volume of trade hitherto not enjoyed.
The development of a number of the thousands of com
mercial gold lode deposits will guarantee rich returns to
the investor.By the same token a business volume will be
built up which will go to those who take advantage of
this propituous moment to take up the work so long been
left unnoticed.
Nothing would have a more salutary effect upon the
nation as a whole than the ushering in of the second great
gold era of the Territory. The gold is here, but those who
have discovered the lodes lack th$ initial capital—even a
grubstake—to bring it into fruition.
A few^ dollars spread around in this preliminary work
would be the key to open a trade volume for Los Angeles
far exceeding anything which may be gained merely by
expressions of good will.
We will buy California if Los Angeles will buy Alaska.
Cheer up, Constitution, the first 18 amendments
are the hardest.
Because funeral directors have decreed that bright
colored pajamas are the correct thing for burial shrouds,
it must be taken to mean that those who parade them
are dead ones.
The campaign will supplant a lot of jazz music with
talk.
A feminine bear raid is in progress in the Solomon
Islands, where they are selling girls at $40. This should
give the League of Nations something to juggle with.
A California broker was jailed for kidnaping his own
wife. A sort of bear raid, as it vcere.
Campaign whisperers will soon be equipped with
loud speaker attachments.
BUTTE. Mont., June 16. —Ad
ding another romantic chapter to
Montana history, a casual visitor
to an old mining camp found a
S2000 gold bar beneath the floor
boards of an old shack, when the
boards broke beneath his weight.
The visitor was G. McEwan, a
resident of Christina, in Fergus
county. Location of his “strike”
was an old cabin in the Kendall
mining district near Lewistown.
The district in which the cabin
is located was a hotbed of activity
a quarter of a century ago, when
the Kendall, Gilt Edge and Maiden
mines were producing millions in
gold ore.
Weight of the rough bar found
by McEwan was 107 ounces, which
at the standard price for gold, $20.
67 per ounce, totals $2,211.67.
John Ketooroky, known through
out the Interior, up and down
Cook Inlet and in the Juneau dis
trict as ‘‘Rush-on’’ John, came
back to Seldovia recently. And
with him came three friends and
associates, Mike Zadorico, * Mike
Ageef and Harry Sherz. Ketooro
ky is a strong believer in the low
er Cook Inlet region as a potential
gold producer, and it is for the
purpose of prospecting in a coun
try with which he is familiar, that
he and his friends have come.

DELEGATE NOMINEE
A. J. OIMOND, ENPOUTE
TO IDEZ OFFICES
Anthony J. Dimond, Democratic
nominee for delegate to Congress,
who arrived in’Seward Wednesday
from Anchorage, was one of the
counsel for defense in the case of
the United States versus Martha
Arnott, in which Mr. L. V- Ray was
leading counsel, and H. F. Morton,
of Anchorage, associate consel. He
was also associate counsel in the
case of the United States versus
Alex Elexsmith, Mr. Morton being
leading counsel.
Both cases were recently tried in
Anchorage, and in each the juries
returned verdicts of not guilty as
to the several defendants. Mr. Di
mond is enroute to his home in
Valdez, where he will remain until
he starts his active campaign for
the November elections.
Speaking of the political situa
tion, Mr. Dimond said “the out
come is in the laps of the Gods,”
but that he received many assur
ances o f support and wishes of
success from all parts of the Terri
tory, that he expected to conduct
an active campaign and bring the
issues home personally to almost
every voter in Alaska.
In traveling the Territory Mr.
Dimond stated he found a great de
mand for a change in national and
territorial administration; that in
his opinion the paramount issue
was the granting of full control to
the Alaska Territorial Legislature
of the fish, fur and game. He add
ed that if any change should be
made in control and supervision of
the road work in Alaska, it should
be delegated entirely to the Alaska
Territorial Board of Road Commis
sioners, thus insuring control by
rsident Alaskans and resulting in
equally efficient administration.
Senator Dimond is an “oldtimer*’
in Alaska. He came to the Terri
tory a young man and has resided
here continuously since. He was
married in Alaska and his three
children were born and educated
in the Territory. Through long re
sidence and wide travel in Alaska
he knows her conditions and prob
lems.
A firm of shipowners wired one
of their captains: “Move heaven
and earth; get here on Friday.”
Just as they were becoming anx
ious, they got the reply: ‘“Raised
hell and arriving Thursday.”

A hint to local house-wives,
which was tested and found excel
lent by a local resedent , keeps old
potatoes white when cooked. It 2
tablespoons of canned milk or a
half cup of fresh milk are added to ;
the water in which the potatoes
are boiled, the tendency to become
blackened will be overcome and the
“spuds” will remain white
