ALASKA THE WORLD’S COAL BIN
With the announcement that Washington is about to en-,
ter upon an era of industrial expansion as the result;
of recent developments in the untilization of low-grade!
coal Alaskans might be reminded that in the Alaska
Railroad belt alone there is 10,000 times as much coal for
treatment, as described many times in this column, as has
the State of Washington, Oregon and Montana combined.
During an earthquake in Alaska in 1899, the land
swayed and waves rose and fell 80-feet every few minutes.
Great destruction was wrought up to the 40-foot level.
WHY BLONDS LIVE IN THE NORTH
It is a curious fact that most of the blond races of the
earth live either in the temperate or frigid zones, while
brunettes live in the hotter, tropical countries. Nations;
once fair and blond in coloring become brunette in time, J
if they continue to live in Southern climes. Ain’t science.

School bands, such as the one at the Jesse Lee Home,
are not only excellent for providing entertainment but
they permit boys and girls to express that musical sense
that is in all of us.
Mountains, lakeshores, the bay and the whole out
doors are calling Sewardites. We defy anyone to show us'
a more ideal spot on the globe.
English editors sometimes have trouble in translat-:
ing the American language. One described A1 Smith as j
the son of a “market gardener”, after reading that the
governor’s father was a truckman.
« Wrigiey spends $15,000 a day for advertising and
sells a million dollars worth of chewing gum a week.
Something for non-advertising merchants to chew on.
