CLOUDS ARE PASSING
With the increased price of fish,
fur and gold, Alaska promises to
nose out many portions of the na
tion in regaining lost ground due
to the depression.
The above three industries have
a primary effect upon the econom
ic state of the people. The third of
the series may be looked to as a
gain over and above the former
two in that there is a marked up
ward trend, especially in quartz
mining.
While there has been less money
available in the outlying centers,
the frontiersmen have shown a
keen sense of balance in raising
large gardens and husbanding
their resources. Thus most everyone
now living in the hills and valleys
will come through the winter in
security. The higher price of furs
will match the increase in the
price of gold in bringing incomes
back to normal.
Snipers, with the hand method
of placer mining, have fared even
better this season than last. The
little poke of last year suddenly
finds itself swollen one-half in
value.
When the season ends, many will
have gold to exchange for the
merchant’s wares, and the better
price for furs guarantees many of
those comforts with which the fru
gal frontier housewife has been
compelled to do without.
One of the most invigorating ele
ments of the depression as it af
fects the frontiers is the mutual
assistance given on the basis of
sharing each other’s burdens, ex
change of work and that spirit
which builded America in the days
of the covered wagon.

Dr. Holzworth was tossed out of
a Democratic convention. Which
lends aid to his claim that there
are worse things than brown bears.
Scientists report the discovery
of old relics on Hawkins Island,

where the last Republican is holed
up.
