THE S. S. MEXICO
Again the Alaska Steamship Company keeps step
with the progress of Alaska with the announcement of
purchase of a palatial new steamship, the S. b. Mexico,
for Alaska service. The liner’s maiden voyage will mark
another milestone in the advancement of Alas a tians
portation and its influence upon the Port oi bewarci,
the western terminal of direct ocean travel to the united
States, and the port of distribution for the great em
pire in Interior and Westward Alaska.. # .
The coming of the Mexico, which is to christined
with an Alaska name, will be like the coming of an ex
pected friend, an epoch of progress for which all will
be grateful and appreciative.
“Experts Think Skirts Shorter”— Headline. Were
not those experts clever to think that up?
MEMORIES WILL LIVE
Nothing we could say or do would bring back our
friend Ralph A. Miller, of the Signal Corps, whose sud
den death occurred Tuesday but Seward, in common
with others, sincerely mourns the death of this fine
young man and the heartfelt sympathy of the community
is extended to his dear wife who, with her small son,
will take his remains home to Vancouver, Wash., for
burial. Mrs. Miller departs on the S. S. Alaska.
The wonderful and impressive service held in the
Community Church today revealed, to a small extent,
the high regard in which he was held. His “Buddies” will
never forget him; from every eye, during the beautiful
funeral service, tears fell gently.
A faithful public servant, an attractive gentleman,
and a patriotic American are lost in the death of Ralph
A. Miller.
Hoover is an engineer, but the Senate wants to
act as conductor.
EVERYTHING GROWS
hey say tha tthe muskrat, beaver, deer and elk *
that were planted on the Westward Islands are in- ]
creasing rapidly. That goes for all but the elk which ]
were youngsters when brought up there last summer j
from the Olympic mountains of Washington. They are! ]
in fine condition it is reported, and haven't had time |]
to reproduce. It should not be long now before the
game commission will introduce pheasants and part
ridges because apparantly anything will grow there \
including children and mooshine.
Edison invented the incandescent light 50 years
ogo. Now the Senate is having it investigated.
There are better jobs than being delegate from
Alaska but they don't call for half the effort.
Its sometimes difficult to understand how the wo- \
men of the W. C. T. U. can enforce prohibition in Ameri- j
ca, save the heathen Chinese from eternal damnation
and still raise a family of upstanding Americans.
The average legislator thnks it a stroke of genius
to propose a boost in gasoline and cigarette taxes.
The Britsh ambassador is wiling to give up liquor.
Maybe he has had to fall back on Washngton bootleg.
It's easy to be a college president. All one has
to do is to please the board of control, the parents,
the undergraduates and the alumni.
If the sun doesn't shine and the clouds are cold
maybe the plumber was trying to fix the Japanese Cur
rent with the aid of a Geisha Girl.
Some take a long trip on the doctor's advice; others
on a lawyer's.
