ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL
While politicians and economists
are ripping the air with panaceas
for getting the people back to na-!
ture and at the same time endeav- I
oring to hold them in the beehive
cities, old Mother Nature, with one
little word is doing more to bring i
the western people back to earth |
than all this folderoll of political'
direction.
The magic word is “Gold.”
Over in Spokane, Wash., where
the plutocrats of the Coeur d’
Alenes have about outgrown over
alls and become accustomed to plus
fours and the smell of onions has
been supplanted by that of gaso
line, a class of 3,000 persons have
been attending a placer mining
school, polishing up rusty pans
used by their fathers and grand
fathers, and hiking out to the
creeks to begin where their for
bears did.
So great is the interest in gold
around Seattle that Dean Milnor
Roberts of the College of Mines
is besieged with letters asking in
formation as to how to capture
colors from the sand. So wide
spread is the interest that the
Federal government has issued a
pamphlet telling all how it’s done.
Armed with these, many have tak
en to the hills and beaches, some
making from $2 to $5 daily.
Whether they make money or
not, the trek to the bosom of na
ture will teach many things hith
erto tbqfught obsolete by society
which has outgrown the spirit of
manual labor. They will, like all
normal souls, learn that while
some may ride, others must walk,
and that a touch of primitive na
ture is productive of a desire to
prosecute further wooing and re
wards to those gained in the arti
ficialities of life.
Time has proven that there is
such a thing as working the gre
garious instinct too far. Mankind
must spread out to broaden char
acter and perspective. There is no
better stage setting than what is
offered close to nature.
* * * *
The spirit of Alaska was again
vividly typified in the search for
the Anchorage attorney, Harry F.
Morton, and Pilot Arthur Woodley.
Missing since Sunday and lost in
the rugged Talkeetna region, every
one took a personal interest and
leading all were the aviation com
panies and their skilled fliers who
were sent into the air along the
entire railroad belt while, citizens
afoot, scoured the mountainous
and heavily wooded areas until the
men were found.
* * * *
We suppose there are a lot of
office boys’ “grandmothers” sick in
Chicago, now that the World Ser
ies are underway.
* * * #
It is suggested, now that the
city has possession of the abandon
ed radio station buildings and pro
perty, to turn it into a civic park;
community club buildings, golf
course, clay pigeon shooting, pic
nic grounds, etc.

The Ketchikan Chronicle asks:
“Who Builds Our Roads?” Well,
respecting this year we might say
the prospect is nobody.
FROM MC GRATH
Among those who are 'expected
to arrive in Seward today from An
chorage to make steamer connec
tions on the SS Yukon, are Mr. and
Mrs. Langley and Mrs. Oddie Hal
son, wife of the game warden, all

were flown to Anchorage Thurs
day by Pilot A1 Monson who is
also expected to bring his plane to
Seward today.

date for Attorney General of Al
aska, was among today’s arrivals

lette, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L.
R. Gillette, to Dr. Adolph Murie,

PUBLIC CARD PARTY
Tomorrow night is the night of
the big card party under the aus
pices of the Odd Fellow and Rebek
ah Lodges. This event is public,
and, aside from a choice of whist
or bridge, it is reported that the
refreshments which have been or

'admission, 50 cts., alone. An extra
good time should be enjoyed by all
those who attend, for preparations
for this party have been underway
tor some time.
