LIKE MEETING AN OLD FRIEND
“I am enthusiastic about Alaska and want to be regarded
*as an Alaskan as long as I am to remain in the Territory
by the War Deparment” remarked Major Malcolm Elliott,
Engineer Corps, U. S. A., President of the Board of Road
Commissioners, at Juneau last week.
Today, Major Elliott is in Seward, enroute to the In
terior on a brief inspection of areas under his supervision,
and Seward citizens have had the pleasure of clasping his
hand, making his acquaintance; and they like him.
Seward and this district have long held a warn spot
in their affections for-the War Department, so the wel
coming of Major Elliott is similar to meeting an old
friend.
His visit being totally unexpected the proper recep
tion which would have greeted him must more or less be
passed over; however, President Urbach,.of the Seward
Chamber of Commerce, has made plans for a dinner re
ception this evening at 5 o’clock at the Seward Grill in
honor of Major Elliott. Every business man in the city
should be present as well as the public in general.
Major Douglas H. Gillette, Acting President of the
Board since the retirement of Colonel James G. Steese,
who is accompanying Major Elliott, as well as other prom
inent out-of-town visitors will be dinner guests.
Major Elliott for a man of his years has had a re
markable career in his chosen line of endeavor, having
been prominent in many major engineering projects on
many portions of the globe; he was across the sea in the
World War on at least four fronts of the battle line.
Alaskans can feel particularly grateful that the War
Department has sent us one of their best.
The accusation that there are too many politicians in
Indiana is another way of saying there are too many in
habitants.
The irony of it all is that anybody ever thought
enough of Chicago’s mayor to nickname him “Big” Bill
Thompson.
Before Mayor Thompson’s edict of banishment he
should have found out whether the King of England had
any desire to visit Chicago.
“European Scientist Discover Method of Curing In
sanity With Mosquitoes.” Head-line. However, as be
tween the two, if we were not crazy we’d choose insanity.
RIVAL HONORS
Lindbergh has had his day, and it was a great one,
but Lindy will not be so popular along the latter part of
December when Santa Claus starts his non-stop reindeer
flight from the North Pole to the children’s Christmas
tree.
Hiram Johnson says he is the only U. S. Senator who
hasn’t his eye on the Presidency. This may be explained
by the fact that the Senator is too busy keeping his eye on
the President.
