CONGRESS TALKS
So far, as the present session of Congress has been
devoted principally to talk. And in this instance talk is
not cheap. At least not to the taxpayers.
Although Congress has been in session since Decem
ber 5, few measures of importance have been passed and!
sent to the President for signature.
Among the bills which have been introduced are those
dealing with flood control, farm relief, railroad consolida
tion, naval expansion, radio regulation, merchant marine,
revenue, Muscle Shoals and other matters of general in
terest.
Instead, the time of Congress, particularly the Sen
ate, has been devoted to discussions of politics, religion,
personalities and everything under the sun except the
public business.
But this is presidential year and wind-jamming is
perhaps all that can be expected under the circumstances.
Senator Howell would have the big mining comp—
anies in the Interior operate the Alaska Railroad from
Nenana to Fairbanks. Perhaps they might like to take
him up on it. If such a thing could be done we hope the big
companies take over the southern division, as well. We
would like to see that “able’’ member of Congres Howell
try to operate a railroad from the middle; starting from
nowhere and ending nowhere.
Getting on the front page seems to be a habit wdth
some folks. Take S. S. Kregge for example. Just after get
ting much publicity for his gift of $500,000 to the Anti
Saloon League his wife sues him for divorce. Testimony
tends to show that he is guilty of “indiscretions” with sun
dry young “ladies,” details of which are unsuitable for
publication in a family newspaper.
Dr. Cook wants to go to the South Pole. Fine! And
send Howell and Treadway with him.
It is getting so a man can’t even think, talk, or write
the truth. Take Dr. C. E. Hill, down in Shreveport, La.
He wrote across an alimony check, sent to his former bet
ter-half, the words “September graft.” A judge fined him
$50 and sent him to jail for 10 days for contempt of court.
No doubt it offended the judge’s “dignity’ more than any
thing else.
Wets are not necessarily in favor of more liquor, but
we would like a little better quality.
A chap by the name of I. O. Smith, a trapper from
Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., should be a formidable contender
for-the Marathon championship. Armed with an axe, he
ehased a wolf five miles thru the forest and killed it.
There are many kinds of grafting as politicians and
officials know but Atlanta furnishes a unique example of
a modem sort. Surgeons in that state have grafted on a
new ear for a young girl who had one of heFs burned off
by fire. It was fashioned from cartilage of a rib and skin
from another part of her body.
The following statement is from the
Lomen Reindeer Corporation concern
ing a banquet served at the Hotel
Frye, February 5, 1928 under the di
rection of Captain Baird in honor of
i Mr. Leonard D. Baldwin, millionaire
attorney of East Orange, New Jersey,
and one of the principal investors in
the Lomen Reindeer Corporation, a
Seattle concern.
“The principal dish being served as
a speciality was Reindeer Rib Racks,
J selected from the “Boxer’' shipment,
| known as the Kivalina meat. These
j deer were killed during the week of
October 15, 1927, during freezing
' weather with no available, modern
packing facilities. This meat was en
tirely dressed on the ground by na
tives under the supervision of a gov
ernment agent, and was picked up by
the “Boxer” about the 17th of October
in partly frozen condition and sus
pended in the “Boxer” to continue
freezing.
“All government meat has the hide
removed as soon as the animal is kill
ed and after the animal has been thor
oughly cleaned the same is wrapped
with cheesecloth and burlap. This
entire shipment showed excellent
workmanship on the part of the but
chers as every carcass had-been thor
oughly washed and the hide removed
leaving the fat in a smooth condition.
The above covers the history of the
shipment of meat of which a sample
was used for this special dinner .This
particular cut to which this report is
referring was from a deer weighing
about 113 lbs. This Rib Rack as per
our method of cutting, includes about
nine ribs from the fifth rib back,
which was trimmed not exceeding
four inches down on the ribs from the
center of the back.
“As I gather, the preparation of!
this meat was held 10 days out of.
storage, to permit aging, which was'
understood could have been improved
by adding another seven days. It is
assumed that the temperature in the
•old storage where this meat was aged
