The nomination by President Herbert Hoover of
Warren N. Cuddy as United States District Attorney
of the Third Judicial District of the Territory of Alaska,
and the sending of Mr. Cuddy’s name to the Senate for
confirmation as announced in today’s Associated
Press dispatch from the Capitol, assures this Division of
an outstanding public official with many years of faith
ful service credited to him.1
The residents of this entire Division, practically to
a man, will receive the news of Mr. Cuddy’s nomination
with sincere elation, admiration and pleasure. This nom
ination is one of those rare instances where the office
sought the man, not the man the office
KODIAK ROADS
The Kodiak Island stock raiser is in what might
be called a helluvafix. He is between the devil and the
deep blue sea! Between the presence of the bear which
hedge his lonely outpost threatening his herds, and the
lack of roads to get his supplies from or his product to
market,, its just too bad.
Though true, it seems lamentable that the road
commission has not paid more attention to that wonder
ful island to the West of Seward, where good roads alone
are needed to to open up vast tracts of splendid grazing
country and where for over 100 years the climate has
been found agreeable to the raising of cattle and sheep
and goats.
The early Russians brought cattle there at the end
of the 18th century and their descendants are there to
day but the industry has never been pushed thru lack
of enterprise of the native and the difficulty of getting
from place to place except by the water route. Further
more, the native prefers the easier living from the sea
and additional inroads of white settlers have been check
ed by the fame of Kodiak as the home of the great
brown bear.
After years of effort only four miles of road exist
on the island, connecting Kodiak town with the largest
ranch to the south where several hundred sheep and
cattle are raised. Another four mile stretch that would
reach several ranches to the north of the town has been
denied for at least another year. This proposed road pre
sents no difficulties whatever and would be cheap con
struction, still the money cannot be found available.
We would like to see the road commission devote
more thought to the richest Division in the Territory.
If revenues are any guage by which the expenditure, of
public monies are made, we believe the Third Division
is entitled, in all fairness and in proportionate, to at
least as much as any other Division.
The loss of that splendid ship, the Aleutian, although
marked by its wonderful record of life saving, brings
home again to us the ever-aboding peril of the Westward
waters. Pity there wasn't a bunch of bureaucrats aboard
the boat at the time. A hair-breadth escape like that
might have set their somnolent thinktanks working on
better coast protection for Southwestern Alaska.
Out to the Westward they say the hills are green
and the bumble bees are booming mid the salmon ber
ry blossoms. Ah love, if winter comes can spring be far
behind! . A!#
Most of us believe in pitiless publicity for the
other fellow’.

ONE SHOW TONIGHT 8 O'CLOCK
AGAIN WE HAVE THAT GREAT COMEDIAN
SYD CHAPLIN
in a fine movie of the great stage play “A Little Bit of
Fluff.” A drama enlarged and renamed
“SKIRTS’
A very comical play of two married men who “step out’’
when their wives are away. The entire story is
STAGED IN LONDON
and as a joyous entertainment is rated the equal of
“Charlie’s Aunt.” The laughable predicaments, the hen
pecked husband gets into, will shake your sides. Come
and see it proved that “The Female of the Species Is
More Deadlier Than the Male” as Kipling wrote.
And to start the mirth right we will give you the cham
pion funny-man Billy Dooley in a rip-roaring 2-reeler
“WILD WALLOPS”
in which the ‘‘Goofy Sailor” gets his foot in wrong again.
