APPRECIATION OF SIGNAL SERVICE
While it is eminently proper to applaud the man who
works out the details of a department, it is often due to
the energies of those entrusted with executing the plans
which makes it readily effective and to serve the purpose
for which it was created. This is shown in the growth of
the Signal Service in Alaska, which has become one of
its most important institutions. This result is due, in a
great measure, to the class of men who have been entrust
ed with the work of bringing the far places of the Terri
tory into closer touch. So well has this work been devel
oped that it has become more than a mere means of com
munication—it has become a part of Alaska itself, in that
the Signal Service men do not halt at their formal duties,
but become a part and parcel of the social life of the com
munity in which they live.
On several occasions the service has been put to the
test where big events called for quick and thorough work,
and in each instance it has not been found wanting. This
result is due to the pride each and every member of Uncle
Sam’s Signal Corps takes in the work.
The injection of personality into the service has been
productive of bringing the general public to greater ap
preciation of this very necessary adjunct to daily business
and personal activities. Especially is this evidenced by
the cordial relations existing between the Signal Corps
and communities like Seward, the western terminus of the
cable office, which has become the heart of communica
tion with its pulsations felt throughout the Territory.
Seward feels proud of the service and more so of those
whose untiring energies and efforts to please have brot
about the happy condition.
BUILDING ON THE SAND
. There is hardly a philosophy worthy of the name
which cannot be found in that oldest of histories of civili
zation, the Bible. Had theologians laid greater stress up
on these philosophies as such and given more emphasis to
their relation to daily life, instead of clothing them un
der mystic superstitions, it is a safe venture that Chris
tianity would today retain its greatest precepts and
would not be under criticism of new thought.
Take, for instance, the parable of the man who budd
ed upon the sand, apply it to daily life and note how aptly
it fits almost any situation where constructive effort is
manifested.
It is true of Alaska, now in the course of constructive
effort which will determine its greatness or its failure.
The men who have buiided “upon a rock,” as it were, are
the men who have invested their surplus in modern, per
manent structures; the man who has labored in the social
and political world, and who has a just claim to reward
is the one who has clung to the fundamentals of Christian
philosophy his wTork, like that of the structural builder,
will linger and serve as an inspiration for others.
The Bible speaks of its “great men,” and this heritage
has been handed down through the ages as an inspiration
for men to acquire greatness, but we seldom hear of the
“great little men”—those men who coordinate their ener
gies in gaining personal financial success while at the
same time bestow their talents to the general upbuilding
of their communities. Mere financial success is but half
of the achievement, and often breeds jealousies on the
part of the less far-sighted, while the general good reflect
ed in the monument of success is often lost sight of.
The man who does his best with the talents he has
developed, becomes a big man, whether his estate is mere
ly that of one who has constructed a permanent home in
a pioneer community, or one whose name has been herald
ed to the world for some exceptional action opportune of
the hour.
King Jack Frost has arrived, but the fresh snow
which fell on the mountains the past week, has almost dis
appeared in the lowlands. In Seward proper the grass is
still green.
