THOSE FAR GREEN FIELDS
It will soon be that time of the year again when the an
* nual winter exodus of Alaskans to the States will begin.
The majority will remain Outside over the winter while
others, imagining there are no opportunities in the North
and that progress is to darn slow, plan to remain out for
good; they figure to travel around a bit after they get
Outside and take their own time in picking out just the
place where they think they can do better.
One of the favorite excuses for leaving the Territory
is “the wife doesn't like it up here and life is too short
to remain isolated in a country like this". Another ex
cuse is “I need a change; been up here so long now they
will be sending me out to Morningside next. The weath
er is “punk". Too cold in the winter. Raining all the
time. Want to see some good shows, hear some real
music. Nothing but a bunch of rough necks up here.
Tired of it all."
Bunk!
Pioneers and empire builders were never made of
such stuff! Goodbye!
How about these travelers and tourists who come up
to look us oyer and exclaim, “What a delightful country,
such charming people, such gorgeous scenery, hospitality,
wealth and potential resources." The shoe is on the oth
er foot, that's all.
Those distant green fields again.
Maybe a little trip once and awhile would be alright
at that.
We believe, however, if you feel like you must have a
change, if you take a few days off, or a week or more, and
strike out for the hills or take a trip over the railroad to
the Interior, you'll return home with that mythy “green
pasture" picture dispelled.
If you want a change take it in Alaska.
It would do us all good.
Advertising a sheriffs sale is on a par with locking
the barn door after the horse is stolen.
Many a hungry politician never knows where his
next meal is coming from.
No time was ever wasted boosting for the old home
town of Seward.
Next to a seedless watermelon, what Alaska needs
is a table-cloth and napkin that will never get soiled and
free beer for the hard working girl.
An exchange seemingly laid itself open to a charge of
libel recently in a story concerning al medicine firm by the
omission of an “o". The item stated that the concern oc
cuped six buildings “in the manufacture of their rot and
herb medicne."
It is reported Tunney will quit fighting when he gets
married. That's certainly a pertinent remark.
A visitor to a Michigan high school was attracted by
the unobstrusive dress, modest speech and unsophisticat
ed manner of a girl student. Inquiry disclosed that she
was one of the world's most noted girl acrobats, regularly
employed during the summer with Ringling's circus.
The damps are causing the ch*TTs more trouble than
the wets.
The reason so many children in town look so sober
these days is because it is about time to begin brushing
up on their P's and Q's.
RAPID CITY, Sept. 6. (£>)—Careful
study of the proposed Coulmbia Basin
reclaimation project, was promised by !
group of Western citizens who called i
President Coolidge yesterday, to a |
to explain the proposal.
Mr. Coolidge understands the pro- i
jeot would cost more than a hundred
million dollars and while he favors
such propositions in a general way,
he made it clear that he would like
more information on this gigantic
undertaking.
MACDONALD 10 CONTINUE
IN PUBLIC LIFE STATES
LONDON, Sept. 6. (/P)—Ramsey
MacDonald’s recent declaration con
cerning his health has provoked a
storm of discussion.
“I am going to turn over a new
leaf,” Mr. MacDonald said.
“I am not going to take care of
my health any more than I did be
fore.”
Mr. MacDonald’s serious illness
during his recent visit to the United
States and his enforced rest from
leadership of the Labor Party upon
his return gave rise to rumors that
he must leave public life.
The former Labor premier’s de
claration that he will carry on at
any cost has won much approval
from public men who believes there
is too much mollcoddling nowadays.
