STARVATION IN ALASKA!
rite first case of actual starvation recorded in the settled portion
of Alaska comes from the farming belt, where it is reported one of the
settlers, a woman and child, were found to be in actual want for food,
and which reduced them to a point where it was only a question of time
when death would have overtaken them.
^ second case came to light in Anchorage, where another farming
settler existing solely on bread because he had nothing with which to
purchase other food.
According to reports, both cases were a matter of pride which stood
in the way of making their needs known to those who would have been
only to willing to extend the helping hand.
Newcomers t-o the land, and expecting to secure employment to tide
them over until a crop or garden could be made, and finding employ
ment unprovided by the orders from Washington to carve the operating
force of the railroad to the bone, it was only after the generous people
of Anchorage learned of the plight of the sufferers that they were saved
from tragedy.
When Mark Twain edited a newspaper in Missouri one of his sub
scribers wrote him that he had found a spider in his paper and wished
to know whether it meant good luck or bad. Twain replied: “Finding a
spider in your paper is neither good luck or bad. The spider was merely
looking over our paper to see which merchant was not advertising, so
that he could go to that store, spin his web across the door and lead a
life of undisturbed peace ever afterward.”
If many more notes are exchanged between the League of Nations, J
United States, Ekigland, France, Italy, Japan, etc., there will be an
excellent opening for a correspondence school at Shanghai.

1 GRECIAN Ml' ONCE
Dr. Baron Mox von Oppenheim
■ noted German archaeologist, deliv
i ered a lecture in Washington, D. C,
■ recently and declares that the
■ White House and all colonial ar
• chiteeture is derived from the
, Greek and Grecian era and had its
i inception in the halls of Tell Halef,
i a recently excavated city of Upper
Mesopotamia and built some 5,000
years ago.
An interesting resemblance be
tween the era of the people of Tell
Halef and the Mayan Indians of
the United States leads him to be
lieve there may have been some
cultural connection between the
two countries at one time.
He says: “There is no inter-racial
connection but it is well known
that at one time Alaska and Asia
were in contact with each other
and there may have been some ad
venturous soul of old Tell Halef
who wandered across the continent
until he located here.”
