SCOUTING THE ISSUE
When Representative John McDuffie of Alabama and
Robt. G. Simmons of Nebraska opposed Alaskan appro
priations on the ground that receipts from the Territory
do not balance federal expenditures, they either display
a woeful ignorance respecting the Territory or, as may
be the case with Mr. Simmons, yokemate of Senator How
ell, they join up with the coterie of pseudo statesmen who
appear to be bent upon destruction.
Of course, in the sense of contributions direct to the
Federal Treasury, a balance cannot be struck. But what
about the $31,000,000 worth of business the States en
joys annually from Alaska, the contributions of these
businesses to the Federal income, and the revenue derived
by such large organizations as the fisheries and mines,
the bulk of which goes to absentee landlords?
Then the gentlemen might tell us if it is net they who
are perpetuating a system of conservation and bureau
cracy in Alaska as a sort of a dumping ground whereon
to unload political favorites in highly renumerative jobs.
Surely this would be worth something to the political po
ker players who, by lack of that element of statesman
ship necessary to conduct the affairs of a great country,
have brought it to the present impasse.
Economic as well as political experiments come high.
Alaska is the product of an economic experience which
has cost the nation much money, hampered and retarded
its citizens in developing the Territory’s resources, and
may be looked to as showing a deficit in the sense Repre
sentative Simmons points until such time as he, together
with others, abandon the government ownership experi
ment and its attendant baleful influence.

Petersburg city employees were
recently cut 10 per cent in their
salaries.

Extensive improvements at the

to be one of the finest in Alaska.

Fred Behrs who has operated a
fox farm on the islands at the
south end of Rocky Pass, near
Wrangell, for the last 10 years,
says that fox farming is as good
an industry as there is in the coun
try.
After his young son had emptied
his rifle in a vain attempt to stop
the charge of an infuriated brown
ie, John Mattson, Ninilchic guide
and trapper, brought the giant
beast to earth with a well timed
shot. The kill occurred a few miles
away from the village.

S. S. Daniels was recently named
chief of police of Petersburg.

A small slaughtering plant for
livestock may be established at
Ketchikan, according to J. H. Kelly,
who is endeavoring to bring about
such an industry near the city.

Jack was just a dog—a fox ter
rier! But to Frank Spaulding he
was friend and companion, his
partner in prospecting and fish
ing for more than 20 years. When
Spaulding passed away at Wran
gell last week, Jack was merciful
ly chloroformed and buried near
his master’s grave.

Under the rather lugubrious title
of “Scan You the Dark Horizon”
the Cordova Times blazes forth
with the refreshing ray of sunshine
that the last three years of depres
sion have seen greater expansion
! in Cordova and in that section
| than the preceding 10 years of j
, prosperity. Among the big enter
prises is the Nabesna Mining Com
pany, which shows possibilities of
producing nearly a quarter of a
million dollars in gold. Earner
Brothers have started active de
velopment on their property in the
Bremner country; the Chititut
mines have forged ahead on a more
extensive scale than previously; 1
engineers are making a survey of
the Dan Creek placer grounds with
thelikelihood that a new company
will take over these grounds this
year and open up on a larger scale
than before. The city has achieved
a curtailment of credit expansion I
| and established a more substantial
basis of payments. There has been
a greater consumption of home
products. The launching of a
company has brought more than
ten thousand dollars into town
-since the first of the year.

L. A- Cornelius and Chas. F. Pow
ers, of Grand Rapids, Mich., who
have just completed a successful
hunting trip to Kodiak Island,
were passengers on the SS Admiral
Evans Sunday for Seattle.
Both sportsmen secured their
limit of giant Kodiak brown bears,
although there were spells of real
bad weather during some days of
the hunt. However, toward the last
few days the sun came forth and
provided ideal weather.
Both Mr. Cornelius and Mr. Pow
ers have hunted all over Canada
and elsewhere and expressed them
selves as having the time of their
lives in their Kodiak hunt and
Alaska trip. The prominent men
hunted under the auspices of the
Kodiak Guides Association.
When they completed their hunt
they spent several days fishing at
the Buskin river, on Kodiak Is
land, and caught numerous fine
specimens of trout and steel heads.
While hunting they discovered
the site of an ancient native vil
lage and uncovered several stone
implements, lamps and other rel
ics. They are taking the relics to
the Michigan Museum
Work on the country club fair
way of the Seward Golf Club is
well underway and another week
will see the course and greens in
excellent condition.
