MINERS NEED A ROAD
It will be strange indeed if the powers that be do
not harken to the call of Babcock & Downey for a road
or trail to their gold mining property in Nuka Bay.
They’re only a mile and a half or two miles from salt
water they propose to haul in a lot of heavy machinery
to add another thousand pounds of gold to the sixty
they have already taken from their wonderful vein.
They would even be satisfied with a good wide trail,
but some of the other boys who are finding good veins
in that vicinity haven’t the money to get grub and sup
plies in and build roads at the same time, so it would
seem to be up to the Territory or the government to do
something in the matter
Of course, the country stands on edge and when a
man comes out of a tunnel he doesn’t know whether to
jump or fly, but by all odds its got one of the biggest;
and richest gold veins ever discovered in Alaska and it;
appears as if there are some more alongside of it.
-- I
If they have thought of it at all the people of the!
United States have simply put the Alaska Railroad down j
as another Alaska folly and let it go at that. Under the j
new administration of Colonel Otto F. Ohlson we are j
beginning to have real hope that they will learn what it j
is all about and will begin to realize what a tremendous
ly important artery of development it will prove of what
they are beginning to appreciate as a tremendously val-:
uable portion of Uncle Sam's domain.
Next year, providing the bugs and mosquitoes are as
bad as they have been this season, a fleet of planes
should fly over the land spraying thousands of gallons
of a poison which would exterminate them but yet not
harm other life.
“Whuts this!" hoarsely shouted Sourdough Bill
who had just returned to town from a two-years so
journ in the hills, “all the men seem to be wearing
boys' pants and the kids, men’s pants." And then he
staggered into the next soft drink factory.
A fashion note from France says that “bare legs
are correct for day and evening." But the dear things
probably put on leggings before retiring.
Out side of incorporated cities in the Territory
the thought is expressed that school teachers should
be given a two-year contract, instead of one, owing to
the expense attached in traveling to and from the re
mote places is worth pondering a bit.
The Gateway's thundering presses have been turn
ing out thousands of signs, (printed in 16 languages)
for trappers in the Kenai peninsula which, when deliv
ered, will be posted on every trap. The signs bear this
warning: “Owing to the new closing law all land otter,
mink and other fur bearing animals upon which the
closed season blight has been ordered, are hereby warn
ed to please keep out of this trap."

of the herd by sparing females,
young pups and old males.
The taking of skins, even by
the Indians, is rigidly supervised.
The enterprise is governmental
from the very beginning until \
the pelts have been tanned, dyed,
and made ready for the market. |
Then they are auctioned off, and |
the proceeds turned over to the
United States treasury. Fifteen j
per cent of the money goes to
Canada and a like amount to
Japan for the relinquishment of
pelagic sealing rights.
The Pribilof Islands, located in
the Bering sea, are the breeding
grounds and mark the only spot
to which the Alaska herd comes j
to shore.
Anchorage says—“The show ‘The
Whole Town’s Talking’, is a “knock
