A SINGLE HANDED WORKER
The prosperity of a community is not measured by popu
* lation, but by its civic and commercial progress.
A handful of workers can achieve more than a city
full of drones.
But one man, working along certain progressive
lines, has indirectly accomplished more, net only for Sew-i
ard but Alaska as a whole, for some years past, than the
average person dreams of. The results of his work were
concretely shown during the past summer when scores of •
people from the States came to Alaska.
Quietly, unassuming, asking no financial assistance
of anyone, yet spending many thousands of dollars in
Seward, as well as other parts of the Territory, Jack Rob-i
ertson, nationally known moving picture photographer,
has just completed another remarkable film on which
he has been engaged throughout the entire summer. And
like his previous seven-reel “Alaskan Adventures” the
picture now completed typifies the North in its gentlest
mood—summer; the Alaska, Alaskans know and love, and
want Alaska to be known by.
Only an Alaskan, one who has lived Alaska thru stam
pede gold-rush days, war days, the coming of the railroad,
one who knows almost every turbulent and placid river,
the game in all its variety, the rugged, gorgeous moun
tains, peaceful valleys and green^ lowlands,, its .marvelous
natural wealth from sea and soil, could inject into a pic
ture that unknown quality which entrances and imparts
to the spectator, the keen desire to visit Alaska and view
through their own eyes a part of what this artist trans
fers so vividly to the silver screen.
Would that Alaska had many more consistent work
rse such as Jack Robertson.
A CAPTURED ALASKA BAT
The Seward Gateway gives a big whoopee!! for Sena
tor Reed—Senator James Reed of Missouri—because the
able Senator has tossed a brick bat at the Government
boards and bureaucracies. We come in on this applause
wholeheartedly, but in doing so we should like to know
“how come’ such strenuous objection to the Controller Bill
by the cheer leader of Seward.
(The Alaskan) Petersburg.
What the Western States want from Congress is less
irritation and more irrigation.
Victorious Greek athletes were given a crown of bay
leaves. When an American athlete gets crowned by an
opponent he gets about $450,000.

DR. T. A. JAGGAR STATES MANY j
PRESENT MAPS BASED ON
OLD RUSSIAN CHARTS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. (JP)—Na- j
ture’s battlefront of 45 active volcan- :
oes, strewn along an arc running thru :
the Alaskan peninsula and the Aleu- ■
tian Islands, will be exposed to the at- ■
tack of science, if plans made by Dr. ■
I i
T.. A. Jaggars, distinguished volano- j j
togist, are realized.
Dr. Jaggar, who is director of the j
Hawaiian Volcano Observatory', spent :
the summer in geological reconnais- .
sance work along the Aleutians, and •
recently reported his obbervations and :
conclusions to the Department -of the :
Interior. :
"My dominent thought in going to ;
Alaska,” he said, "was to consider :
methods of solving the problem of the |
great volcanic arc and for ascertaining f
what it means in the economy of na- :
ture.
“I believe that a permanent station |
should be established at Unalaska for j
the study of volcanic action, earth- i
quakes, magnetism and other terres- ;
trial problems.”
In the course of his reconnaissance
trip, Dr. Jaggar observed economic
conditions of the. Aleutian region. He
visited Nushagak, chief center of the
Alaska canning industry and head
quarters for the salmon fisheries
fleet. He was impressed by the need
for thorough mapping and charting
of the areas w'hich he visited.
“Many of the present maps are bas
ed on old Russian charts”, he said.
“One hundred and sixty bays west of
Unimak on the Pacific side have not
yet been surveyed.”
Notwithstanding his plans for Alas
ka, Dr. Jaggar strongly emphasized
that the center of his affection, as well
as of his w'ork in connection with vol
canoes, would continue to be Hawaii.
“I have been in Haw'aii 16 years,
and shall be content to remain there
the rest of my life,” he said.
“The volcano Kilauea and its fam
ous fire-spit of Halemaumau spouting
fire in July and showing signs of re
newal of activity, will always be a
strong attraction for visitors.”
Dr. Jaggar indicted that the center
j of volcanological studies of the Geo
; logical Survey, whether at Mount Las
jsen, Calif.; in Alaska or in Hawaii;
would continue to be at the Hawaii
Volcano Observatory.
FRANCE LACKS HONEY
PARIS, Nov. 5. (/P)—Honey is cost
ly and scarce because of the wet
summer in France. The busy bee
j was never able to get sufficient con
j tact with the flowers to store up the
usual excess of provender for the
winter. Bee raisers say he has laid
by little more than he needs for his
own use.
