A THIRD DIVISION CANDIDATE
Representative Frank H. Foster, who has served three terms in the
Alaska Legislature as one of the delegation from the Third Division
and who recently removed to Juneau, and who is a candidate for nom
ination to the office of Attorney General at the coming primary, is
entitled to favorable consideration at the hands of the people of Seward.
Mr. Foster made an enviable record in the Legislature. He lived in
the Third Division for 20 years and both in private practice and as
United States Attorney, demonstrated his ability as a lawyer- He has
been in all parts of the division, knows our people by their first names
and with Frank in the office, we can be assured of a kindly and sym
pathetic friend at court.
A HOUSE DIVIDED
Bernard Shaw, in his “Pigmaiionwagerecl with a doctor he could
take a flower girl from the streets, give her a vocabulary and thus
bridge the gap "which divides hcait from heart and soul from soul” and
pass her for a Duchess.
But why waste literature on the suburban press of Southeastern ;
Alaska, which now has a recruit in the Cordova Times, when, to revert!
to a biblical Quotation which started this row, it would be emulating a
character who was long on pork and pearls, but short on piety.
Happily, we have offered an avenue through which these erudite
members of the fourth estate could grasp a word which does not tran- :
scend their understanding. It is “crummy.”
W hethei 01 not the word was productive of a condition affecting its in ^
troducer is immaterial. But it is considered passe even in frontier so
ciety, if not wholly vulgar—unless it emanate from precincts whence
such vermin originate. Even then, it is uttered with a blush. Thus, j
knowing it only as belonging to those who mistake debate for billings- :
gate, we never have considered it necessary to our vocabulary, either !
personally or in a respectable newspaper—for we cater strictly to re
spectability.
With regard to Lazarus and his sores, it comes to look as if his was 1
a mere case of prickly heat as compared to the carbuncles worrying i
those about Seward’s progress.
Now that moose are attempting to drive honest, industrious folk I
from their homes, as was the case at Staritzka, it is about time the Game |
Commission began issuing bulletins to the moose and brown bear, set- *
ting f01 tli hov. many rackets they are allowed to pull in a season.
The decision to tax stock transfers in Wall Street has evoked the
wail on the part of the brokers that they will have to quit and go to
work for a living.
The Juneau Empire says Americans are pork eaters. Maybe that
accounts foi the tenacity with which the disciples of the political pork
barrel cling to the custom rather than reduce the cost of government.
It seems that war has been abolished, after all. Fighting nations
don’t call it that any more.
An economist is a superior person who can tell us when we are
in the middle of a bad fix.

tinue mining.

work on his Canyon Creek claims.
At Hope, the Clark brothers will

the former Mathison ground. Hy
draulicking will be carried forward
at two places.
Roy Smallwood, who last year
staked below the Anderson prop
! erty, at Mile 28 on the Six Mile
l River, will probably start taking
j out gold this season.
| Dan McMullen, at Mile 14, a
quartz prospect, will continue his
activities. His ore shows up well.
Harry Miller, Oscar Ploughman j
and Bud Tolson, on a portion of ;
the Michelson claims, will continue :
operations.
Men from the States will visit j
the Mike Connoly placer ground |
this spring.
The same holds good on the Os- i
car Dahl property but in the mean- j
time about four men will operate1
two hydraulics.
John Hershey will resume quartz
operations on a similar scale as
last season.
For two weeks past, there has
been a consistent rumor that a J
deal has been made for the Huston i
mine but no details can be learned.

choreg, the “three horsemen,” Mills, l
Ruttan and Waterworth, may fly
