Would it be alright to call the
Colonists Sourdoughs after they
witnessed a three-foot fall of
snow in June?
Snow shovels proved more use
ful in making gardens this spring
than hoes.

The Park Service gives out the
figures that only 1,000 caribou
were killed in the Park by wolves
the past winter. Old-timers who
'knew this region 10 years before
i there was a Park or Park employes
[claim this figure is from three to
• five times too low. They point to
!the fact that only a couple of
j years ago bands of caribou num
bering 59, 100 and 200 were daily
passing this place, and that the
largest herd seen this winter was
three and that only once. While
at Windy and Cantwell, where in
former years a hunter could get
his limit standing in his front
door or at most at the wood pile,
i while now hardly a straggler is
i seen. Four natives from the Ne
' nana M:ssion hunted three weeks
| at Windy and their total bag was
j three caribou. Mountain sheep
j were killed in enormous amounts
by wolves. So far this spring
, those bands of mountain sheep ob
I served with field glasses, on y one
| lamb has been noted. Bears came
i out very early and are believed to
I have killed large numbers of
lambs and mothers.

Nearly three-fourths of the old- j
timers in the Interior have, up to
the middle of June, been unable
to obtain any sort of employment, j
Floaters from the Outside, as usual,;
have been able to grab off the
jobs in Alaska. These floaters
bring their supply of cigarettes
with them, buy nothing in Alaska,
take no newspapers printed in the
Territory, and are peeved like!
heck if they must wait two hours
for the boat when they reach Sew- !
ard going out in the fall. The:
first arrivals get from about Feb- |
bruary to September and part of
their way paid, while the Alaskan
don’t need his way paid—he paid
it when he came in himself. The
Territorial Treasurer makes it easy
on the floater—he makes no ar
rangement to collect the school
tax j

It’s now nine months since the
stampede of young Alaskans to
Russia, they having fallen for the
bait Russia set out. For the first:
few months glowing letters were,
written back, but of late have been
growing fewer and fewer. The
early reports revealed that the!
Russian interpreters they encoun- I
tered were usually girls, young!
pretty, and it seems now, shrewd.
Going to Russia is much like driv
ing a nitro-glycerine wagon; itj
seems safe at .the time but trouble
may come any moment. Anyway,
who said these Russians were
dumb? The play now is one Al
iaskan against 50 million Russians.

“Is this train ever on time,”
growled a brouchy tourist who
hadn’t eaten anything since he
left Deadhorse. “Oh,” replied the
tourist agent, “we never worry
about it being on time. We’re
satisfied if it’s on the track.”
