GOOD ALASKA PUBLICITY
Do you know Alaska?
The treasure land of scenery and natural re
sources.
Following the above captions is about a 50 word
description, of the wonders of the Northland as viewed
from a summer excursion boat, from the windows of
a train on the Alaska Railroad and the Richardson
Highway trip as well as motor voyages of discovery,
then details and statistics pertaining to the more im
portant things, on the back of the New Washington
Coffee Shop menu, one of Seattle’s leadng catering
establishments and where Alaskans congregate.
This is the sort of publicity which gets across big
and without costing the Territory a dime. More power
to the- New Washington Coffeee Shop.
IDLE ISLANDS
It seems that there was a commissioner of the gen
eral land office now dead—the commissioner, in case
you don’t know is refered to—who sought in utmost
zeal to prevent speculators from tying up fur islands
in Alaska. He carried his policy of “conservation” so
strong that it is a tough job to transfer a lease on
an island. This particular individual (and he was only
one of the misguided conservationists that are saving j
Alaska for God knows what) did his job so thoroughly |
that he only nailed the dishonest promoter to the barn
door he put the horse in and locked the door, then
threw the key away.
Of course its another one of those things where
political appointees are trying to do something for
a land 5,000 miles away from them of which they
know nothing. Its like setting up another government
of the United States and electing a good music teacher
from Jugo Slovakia to administer it.
The fact remains that there are a number of good
fur-bearing islands to the Westward that are not bear
ing a fur except once in a while when the lazy owner
decides to go out and get him a pelt- Along comes some-j
body with plenty to put houses and pens on the
island and raise plenty of fox and pay all the expenses
and put money in the Territorial exchecquer,—no can
do; the regulations won’t permit. In mad zeal to prevent
promoters from talking somebody in the States out of
money to follow his “phoney” scheme in Alaska, our
God-given protectors in Washington have it so fixed
now that nobody will come in. Hoo Ray! Let’s all
take another drink.
TWO KINDS OF DASHES
The bureaucrats heave a sigh of relief when they
let a mail contract and get some daring navigator to
agree to carry the good old letters thru the dangerous
waters of Cook’s Inlet. A dash of the pen is enough
for them and they think naught of the many dashes
in the night over hidden reefs that the mariner must I
take. They will even joke over a belated glass of been
with members of the Coast Guard service who laugh-!
ingly remark that Alaska is hollering for more buoys
and lights.
He who laughs last may laugh best, but he is
probably the dumbell of the party at that
He’s a pretty sorry citizen who can’t get credit
for more stuff than he can pay for.
People who brag about their ancestors are not
very enthusiastic over evolution.
