ALASKA’S RAW MATERIAL
In 1867 Alaska was purchased by Secretary W. H.
Seward for $7,200,000. It was called “Seward’s Ice Box.”
The value of Alaska to the United States increases each
year and now limerock can be added to the long list ofj
raw materials that will be taken in commercial quanti
ties from the “ice box.’’

“FER GOODNESS SAKE!”
(From the Valdez News Miner)
“Over at Valdez they say one and one-half feet of
snow covers the sod, while Anchorage-way about four
inches-not feet-is reported. (Seward Gateway)
There he goes again. “They say/’ covers, in many in
stances, nothing more substantial than a vivid imagina
tion. That foot and a half of snow is a good deal like bro
ther Jessen’s 300-feet deep river at Portage Bay. Had he
left off the foot he would have come within an inch or!
two of the truth as to the depth of snow that fell, and had!
he made that Portage Bay stream 300 feet wide instead
of deep he would have been nearer correct. However, it
would not have made near so good a story. What he was
trying to do was make a story. As no mention is made of i
the depth of snow at Seward, we may presume it was nor- j
mal Seward weather, raining pitchforks and blowing
like—

Editop Wilcox is a man after our own heart. If again
we erred—we assume we did else he wouldn’t have
thi own the hooks into us—we humbly apologize for no
slur was meant. What we like about brother Wilcox is the
spirit in which he defends his home town. We do it and
get panned from within and wihout. But, after all, Wil
cox, what’s a few feet between friends?
“Clothes do help,” reads a familiar ad. And a lot of
flappers might profit by that suggestion.
An Oakland man’s stenog says he has promised to
marry her for 15 years but has failed to make good. Some
girls are so impatient.
In Massachusetts Dorothy Wind married Alfred i
Storms. Now let them look out for squalls.
Dr. Robinson of London failed in his recent attempt
to communicate with Mars b yradio. In fact, he missed it
about 48,649,200 miles.
