l
In bidding Dr. J. A. Baughman goodbye, prior to his :
departure for the East our friend should know he is
taking with him the best wishes of Seward’s citizens. The j
banquet tendered him Thursday gave him but a brief i
inkling of the esteem in which he is held.
During his many years of residence in Seward he
has always been the same, playing the part of a good j'
Samaritan, ministering assistance as best he may, tire
less, and how many lives he has saved, no one knows. 1
Alaska has produced no finer type of citizen. !
A recent item from a Juneau paper told of a cargo of
outside coal arriving. The same thing happens up this
way once and awhile. Does’nt it seem odd that while we
produce just as good a product as the states and with
coal mines in Southeastern and in this division, coal is
still being imported? When will Alaskans learn they must
help themselves if they wish to progress.
Fairbanks has forgotten the good old dog-team mail
days, in this age of progress, and now wants the day de
lay at Seward eliminated.
One Washington committee we would not mind be
ing a member of is the “irrigation” committee. Perhaps,
it don’t mean what we think; in these prohibition days.
There are undeveloped mining projects in Alaska by
the scores. They offer investment opportunities in which
the element of risk is slight.
A late invention is a “radio traffic cop.’
machine, it may work.
Being a
New York man lost $13,500 in a bill-foldi made of al
ligator skin. That’s the skin we’d love to touch.

i sor L. A. Kulik of the Academy of
, Sciences in Leningrad, the discover -
i er of the gigantic meteorite which
fell near the Podkamennaya Tun
guzka River in 1908.
The place was discovered by Prof.
Kuli'k in 1927. He estimated the
great fiery ball had weighed 1,300,
ooo tons. The forest for 20 miles!
; around was burned and the ground
jtorn by great holes. Last spring
Prof. Kulik took a second expedition
ithru 600 miles of woods to study
the mineral contents of the meteo
rite.
In a few months food, clothes and
medical supplies ran low and all but
the Professor fell ill of scurvy.
^ Kulik ordered everyone to return
[Southward for supplies, remaining
| alone to carry out his studies in an
| uninhabited, swampy land filed
with wild animals.
The first expedition sent to &nd
him is headed by Sitin, leader of
the men he sent southward Sitin
went north by hydroplane 300 miles
from the Siberian railway on the
Angara River and then set out for a
500 mile tramp thru forests and
Siberian mountain land. A second
expedition started north by foot
from Taishet on the Siberian rail
way.
