CHANCE FOR COLLEGE MEN
COMPLAINT is being voiced in the United States to the
^ effect that college graduates are finding difficulty in
securing lucrative employment at their professions, which
appear to be overcrowded.
If careful inquiry was made it might disclose that a
tendency has developed in the older portions of the States
to consider clean, honest labor and intellectual develop
ment as inharmonious—there are too many seeking sine
cures believing material advancement may come merely
through the sale of thought rather than through a combi
nation of labor and thought.
The history of what are termed the great leaders of j
the nation’s industrial and financial world discloses that
the great majority of them discovered early in life thaU
success was not a matter of luck or gift from fairy hands, |
but was only to be gained by combining practicable physi- j
cal energies with thought process.
A generation ago, when immigration to the United;
States was at the peak, and when there were vast stretch- j
es of unappropriated public domain and other areas of un- j
developed country, there were means of absorbing practi- j
cally every professional man and woman. With the grad
ual dimunition of these undeveloped areas and the stop
page of the flow of those who sought the frontier, this
work of building new communities practically has ceased.
Casting about, there appears to remain but one sec
tion of the nation which offers opportunity for the over
flow from the more congested centers and that is Alaska.
There is room in its 500,000 square miles pf territory for
a large nation possessed of practically everything boasted
by the Northern States and Canada. Here the college
bred man may rid himself of the slavery of form, doff his
dress suit, don his overalls, work with pick and shovel
and reversing the process have opportunity for indulg
ing matters of form without losing one iota in the process.
The father seeking opportunity for his son in the
crowded professions and industries could use no better
judgment than to stake him for a few years and send him
to Alaska. The country will bestow much that is valu
able and he will have opportunity to return it in kind.
THE LIBERTY TONIGHT
“The Golden Cocoon,” the Warner
Bros, classic of the screen, tonight
at the Liberty theatre. It is an excel
lent picturization of Ruth Cross’s
novel of Texas life.
Helen Chadwick, in the leading
feminine role of Mollie Shannon—
drab little Mollie who later bursts
her golden cocoon and is transform
ed into a radiantly beautiful woman,
a lovely heroine.
Huntly Gordon, gives one of the
beet, performances of his career.
Frank Campeau is a villian 'convinc
ing enough to strike terror in the
heart of any distressed heroine, and
Richard Tucker his able assistant in
their unscrupulous scheming. Others
in the cast are Margaret Seddon,
Carrie Clark Ward, Charles McHugh
and Violet Kane.
“The Golden Cocoon” is a story
of an unsophisticated country girl
who meets her first disillusionment.
Then, after a serious of misfortunes,
when she has known happiness for
the first time she is faced with the
necessity of sacrificing it all.
The picture moves rapidly and in
terestingly to a dramatic climax.

A FRIENDLY ENCOUNTER
While going to work, at Mile 52, j
Jack Rosness and Howard Seferovich j
saw a black bear not far away.
Howard took out his camera, wishing
to get a portrait of the animal. At
this, however, the bear made tracks,
but the boys followed and soon came
upon him, not more than 25 feet
away. They were not expecting to
come upon him so suddenly, ,so they
were a little surprised and not know
ing the temper of the bear, they in
turn burned the earth under their
feet. (It is hard to tell, whether
they stopped to rest or not, but they
arrived in town yesterday about two
o’clock.)
J. A. Ramsey, head of the Field
Division, general land office, Depart
ment of the Interior, left for his An
chorage headquarters this morning.
B. H. Barndollar, Alaska Railroad
official, departed for Anchorage to

BIND OF WOLVES
NUKES APPEARANCE
SUNRISE DISTRICT
ANIMALS SHOWING GREAT BOLD
NESS-CARRY AWAY TWO OF
ANDERSON’S GOATS
Wolves, reported to be running in
bands, have shown up onthe Kenai
Peninsula, according to reports from
Sunrise. The animals are showing
unusual boldness, coming to within
the settlement and making raids. Last
week Anderson lost two goats and on
investigation discovered they had
been carried away by wolves. Sev
eral persons have reported seeing
the wolves from time to time in va
rious parts of the district.
It is expected an organized drive to
rid the peninsula of the pests will be
made this winter. A wolf pelt is
worth from $25 to $30 and the animals
carry a bounty of $25, making their
capture profitable to trappers.
