PLENTY FOR BOTH
All ready papers on the Pacific coast are commenting
on the pending competition between the Alaska Steamship
Company and the Pacific Steamship Company. The trend
of thought expressed is that it will probably be a healthy
thing not only for the companies but for the ports they
serve
According to one paper the supposition is that the
Alaska Steamship Company will compete in the South
eastern Alaska with the Pacific. It is also rumored that
the Alaska Steamship Company is contemplating entering
the Southern trade to Californian ports, competing there,
too, with the Pacific.
Still another paper remarks both companies are like
ly to grow under competitive conditions; they will strain
to give better service; to attract more tourists; to carry
more freight.
There is and will be plenty of work for both of them in
the up building of Alaska.
NEGRO SAMARITANS
HEEDS of heroism and self-sacrifice have been common
during the terrible flood which has devastated a large
area in the valleys of the Mississippi and its tributanes.
A few instances of high courage and devotion to human
ity have appeared in the dispatches, but in hundreds of
cases the heroes will never be known beyond the scene of |
their activity. One outstanding example is that of Samuel
White, a negro of a New Orleans suburb, employed at the
railroad stockyards. When 25 families were marooned
in their homes, by the flood and in imminent danger of
drowning, White hastily built a crude raft and making
trip after trip, rescued every one.
He found straw to make beds for them in boxcars,!
while his wife provided hot coffee and food for the storm
drenched unfortunates, providing for them thus for three
days, until other relief appeared. They also assisted in
nursing a family sick with measles.
This, incident once more illustrates that fact that a
black skin may. cover a noble heart. To some of us it re
calls the exploit of Tom Lee, another negro, wTho saved
nearly twro score of men and women wrhen a government
steamer sank near Memphis a couple of years ago, taking
them four at a time to safety in his small skiff.
It is well to remember that no race has a monopoly of
courage or kindness, and that one can not identify a Good
Samaritan by his complexion.
A LARGE INDUSTRY
. The manufacture of Deisel engines, favored because
oi its economical operation, particularly as motive power
.01 the large fleet of commission fishing vessels operating
in the North Pacific and Alaska, has developed into the
most outstanding activity of manufacturers of machinery
m Seattle. J
Marriage announcements recently sent out by a Paris
couple earned a touch of originality. After the names of
the newly wedded pair it was stated that they “have the
fc?nJ£Tcmg,tlV;ir marriage celebrated in the
Church of St. Philippe du Roule. Pray for them.”
The fishing industry of the North Pacific in Alaska
represents a turn over of $600,000,000 annually. Some
Pllrchases in the States amount to more
than $40,000,000 annually. What if half of this remained
m Alaska.
Alaska salmon goes all over the world, fresh, canned
frozen,mild-cured, kippered, pickled and smoked The
poor fish! -
It appears that the present coal strike has a rather
poor publicity department.
Arizona explorers have discovered an unfinished
dam, 1,000 years old. Probably an ancient Muscle Shoals.

' DIEGO CITIZEN
OELIEHTED WITH TRIP
“Members oT the Seward Chamber
of Commerce, and to the citizens of
this city, I am very much pleased to
bring greetings from the San Diego j
I Chamber of Commerce of which or-1
ganization I have been a member for
the past 35 years,” stated M. T. GI1

fornian city who was among the
guests at yesterday’s meeting of the
local Chamber, jt.
“This is the first time I ever have
been north of Seattle,” Mr. Gilmore
said, “and I am traveling alon. I
have noticed that most of the tour
ists coming to Alaska seem to be in
parties or in groups, but not I. A
! member of one of the parties asked
me if I was not too old to be out j
alone and I informed him ‘I should i
say not.’ I can find oift a lot ofj
things traveling alone. We think we j
have real scenery in California, but I j
have been astonished with the beau
tiful scenics in Alaska. Though I
am not a world wide traveler and
have never been to the famed scenic
regions of Europe, I have never seen
anything like the scenery which lies
between Seward and Anchorage. I
certainly am delighted to have met
all of you men and will look forward
to my next Alaskan journey.”
