“FACE SAVING” CAMOUFLAGE
Million-dollar steamships doled out for a song to a chosen few in
the “know. Mail subsidies of $15,000 per trip across the Pacific where
by two letters, a catalogue or two and postcards from relatives back in
Iowa, constitute the tonnage hauled. Fifteen million dollars lifted from
the Reconstruction Corporation funds and doled out to other favorites
who wish to get in on the mail subsidies by building more ships. A le
gion of bureau and commission clerks, drawing from $5,000 to $12,000
annually to write bulletins telling the kiddies to stop hoarding their
pennies but buy candy like a soused sailor. Annual scrapping of mil
lions of dollars worth of army and navy supplies that the contractors
may dig deeper into the pork barrel. Creation of a deluge of commis
sions with $12,000 chairmen and $6,000 members, whose duties are to
pry into every angle of private business.
Secretary Wilbur announces he will do his bit toward reducing the
cost of government by firing a few rank and filers serving the bureaus
in Alaska! Maybe this is necessary in order that the governor’s salary
could be increased. Possibly it looks as if there will not be enough to
go round amongst the $15,000 gang, so the forestry hand who cuts trails,
rights mosquitoes and guards the virgin forest being saved for the fav
orites—if the gang ever gets bek into power—must call for his time
and get off the payroll.
The last stab at Alaska simply serves to make cumalative the rec
ord of violation of solemn federal obligations.
But Senator Howell said: “Why in the States there are men actu
ally hungry; you should not complain if men are laid off in Alaska.”
Given time and opportunity, since Howell apparently has become
ex-officio Secretary of the Interior, Alaskans would be in the same fix,
if its destiny lay in such hands.
This is the time of year when “hooey,” in the good old days com
monly known as “bull, baloney,” etc., is rampant. The latest is the
alleged “Man of Destiny,” Garner of Texas. Garner is one of those
chaps who hates to see any man make a living wage, certain papers
say. Enuff sed!
Mining earns a larger amount on invested capital than any other
major industry.
Europe complains of American swindlers. Maybe they are merely
trying tc even up that war debt score.

Duncan Corliss, youthful but ex
perienced dog rn.ush.er of the In
terior, who arrived in Seward Tues
day from Anchorage by airplane,
was the chap who sent the dog
team to be used by Father Bernard
R. Hubbard in his travels to the
Westward. The dog were entrust
ed to his care by Father McElmeel,
at Nenana, and Corliss took part of
the team on the freight to An
chorage. From Anchorage Ken
Chisholm and Jack Morton brought
the dogs to Seward.
From the standpoint or dog
mushing experience, Corliss can
: well be called an oldtimer of the
art as he has not only raised dogs,
built dog sleds, made harnesses
for them, but he also has been out
on the trail a good deal and in all
kinds of weather.
During his mushing days, he has
encountered several interesting ex
periences and probably the most
impressive is the time when he was
forced to remain on the Nenana
River for 11 days without any other
shelter than the outfit he carried.
On this trip he was enroute from
Healy to Nenana.
Another experience was record- j
ed, when once, he was forced to
mush on newly formed ice. Corliss !
stated that the ice was so scarce
in some instances that he was
forced to mush with only one sled
runner on solid ice. The other
runner would then be over open
water. To keep this runner from
going down and plunging the whole
outfit into the waters, it was nec
essary for the dog musher to con
centrate all the weight on the one
runner. It is here that all the
tricks of dog mushing must be
drawn upon. Other incidents of
interest are mushing through the
water overflows of the frozen
rivers.
Corliss claims to have a record
for dog mushing in Alaska, his team
having traveled a distance of 17*4 i
miles in one hour and nine min
utes. This record, he said, is on
file at Fairbanks. Corliss and his
brother have the only malamute
dog team at Nenana at the present
time. The other team there is a
Miller’s Barber Shop
Shower Baths
Seward’s Pioneer
and fixDert Barber
Fred C. Miller, Prop.
Siberian huskie group.
Corliss said that he does not be
lieve, like Many people, that the
malamute strain of dogs has wolf
in them.
Corliss is uncertain as to how
long he will remain in Seward.
