STILTED INSULARITY
Many of the suburban press are taking to task the
“Alaska Shopper,” published at Seattle, because it calls
attention of Seattle merchants to the possible volume of
trade which could be secured in Alaska.
The appeal alleges that Seattle merchants “forget
entirely the Alaska Shopper,” then proceeds to remind
them that the Alaska woman craves the pretty things of
life just as does her sister in the States.
But let us turn this thing around. Instead of up
braiding Seattle for its “on its toes” attitude in seeking
trade, why net tell Seattle and the remainder of the
world what Alaska has to sell!
Nothing short of stilted provincialism could be res
ponsible for thio criticism of up-to-date people seeking
to increase their trade volume. It is unnecessary to go
into such bromidic outbursts that the Alaska stores car
ry just as attractive goods as Seattle. It rather puts
Alaska on the defensive, in setting up a position of com
batting hints that our advertising and culture are not
quite up to top hole.
Seattle has goods to sell and is trying to sell them
by advertising that fact and going after business. Alas
ka has natural resources to sell, but the world hears lit
tle of it simplv because there is no concerted movement
to propagandize it as the business houses which cut into
the Alaska’s merchants’ trade are doing.
There are such things as phenomena which startle
the world into activity, but printers’ ink is the medium
for carrying on normal business activities whle waiting
for something to fail from the skies.
HOW THE THING IS DONE
California has a works program of $557,000,000:
The bulk of this affects Southern California, or that
portion of the Tehaehepes.
There are many now living who can tell you of the
day when a few indolent Mexicans, lolling ’neath the
shade of the shed surrounding the patio in “Sonora
town” were about all that Los Angeles had to boast.
But dynamic energy came into action. The City i
of Los Angeles recruited to its aid high-pressure publicity
men. They scoured the then parched tableland and des
ert for things calculated to attract the overflow from
congested centers of population.
The regoin was scoffed at by San Francisco, which
capitalized its vice to the highest degree under the
boast of the “Paris of America.”
What San Francisco had of tradition and stability
was centered in the famous Comstock Lode.
Undaunted. Los Angeles—and all of Southern Cali-!
fornia for that matter—pooledtheir energies, and a mag- j
nificent city is «he result.
Anticipating what the Boulder Dam would give to j
the entire Southwest, the Southern Californians again'
set their shoulders to the wheel and put the thing over.j
They will receive the lion’s shar of the increment from
that project, and the $557,000,000 on this year’s program
will return to circulation and find investment in Los An
geles realty and industries.
It did not require an exhorting clergyman to point
the significance of the parable of the “Three Talents.” ;
They got the idea with the first broadside.
An Eastern headline: “What is Beer?” Beer is an
amber fluid which when taken in moderation, turns aj
dark cloud inside out, and makes a grouchy husband go
home and throw his wife into the Hibbyjibbies by plan
ting a kiss right in tne middle of her bare face.

Now that a card shuffling and dealing machine has
been invented for the benefit of bridge playeers the steel
trust might boost business by turning out a grille for
each player to sit behind, and make the game safe for
husbands.
★ ★ ★ ★
The reason for increased freight earnings on the
Alaska Railroad is said to be due to the necessity for
hauling snow from Broad Pass to other points so that
sourdoughs can hook up their pooches and get in the
winters wood.
★ ★ ★ ★
While the “Buy American” idea is incubating it
might be well to remember that “don’t buy from wel
ehers” is a good second slogan.
★ ★ ★ ★
Headline: “Japs Deny Charge.” What, do they, too,
owre us?

A New York riding master was convicted of seduc
inn- a 32-vear-old society maiden. That w7as not seduc
tion; it was charity.
FUNERAL SERVICES
HELD MONDAY FOR
LATE HENRY THODAY
Under the solemn and impres- j
sive ritual of Odd Fellows Lodge,
last rites were held Monday after- 1
noon, in Odd Fellows Hall, for j
Henry Thoday, pioneer resident of ■
Seward who was called to rest last
Friday morning. Interment fol- j
lowed the grave service in Odd j
Fellows plot, Seward Cemetery.
A large number of friends and
acquaintences attended the ser
vices to pay their last respects to
him who lay in eternal sleep in a j
beautiful casket surrounded by
dozens of bouquets and floral of
ferings.
Brother members of the Order, j
of which Mr. Thoday had long !
been a member and officer, and!
Rebekahs, of which he also heldi
office, attended the service in a j
body, officers taking their stations
while Gustave R. Manthey, Noble
Grand, and Rev. E. E. Reisner,
Chaplain, read the last tender rit- !
ual. At the conclusion each mem- I
ber laid a spray upon the casket, j
a last mark of esteem to the de-!
parted Brother.
Appropriate vocal solos were j
rendered by Mrs. M. Rich, ac-!
companied on the piano by Mrs.!
H. Sogn.
Regardless of the extremely cold
weather, a long procession of i
automobiles conveyed scores to
the cemetery. i
The bereaved widow bore up i
very bravely as she has through
out the days following the loss of
her beloved husband.
