THK SEASON'S GREETWGfi
The Nugget takes this opportunity to wish you one and all A
Happy New Tear.
Contrary to popular opinion by residents of the States, Alaskans
do not hibernate in the. winter, nor do they roll out in the morning to a
diet of seal blubber and other Eskimo comestibles. It may be true that
a few of us hibernate, if suspended animation means hibernation, but in
reality the winter time in Alaska is the old sourdough’s holiday, following
a long and toilsome summer in the hills.
It is the season when Alaskans give their stomachs a rest froin
beans and hot cakes, accustoming their digestive apparatus to celery,
turkey and fixings, with daily exercise at the pangynga tables. It is the
season when old acquaintances are renewed, when the cabin is slushed
cut and made habitable for winter, and when prospects become wonderful
producers—b^ck of the pool hall stove.
From far and near the prospectors, miners, loggers and fishermen
y foregather, each with his quota of news concerning the summer’s work,
end each glad to get back to civilization, where store clothes and light
'foot-gear can be worn, and where matches and tobacco do not have to be.
carefully apportioned for the day’s needs.
Winter has no terrors for the Alaskap. who has lived here long
enough to know that the States suffer from colder weather than we do
here, and that the only discomfort experienced in Alaska is imaginary.
We have our books and our libraries, our entertainments and our dances,
where the women are dressed in the height of fashion and where the latest
music is played by skilled artists. Wo have our warm, comfortable
(homes, equipped with baths, hot and cold water, telephones, electric lights,
and electric percolators. We have our card parties, our women’s clubs,
our moving pictures, and our political meetings, as well as our daily avo
cations to look after.
Our schools are of high efficiency, our churches as numerous, and
our amusements as varied as in any town of like size in the States and
even more go, as a town of 500 to 700 in Alaska is more advanced than
towns of 5,000 in the States. We have our daily papers, and our mag
azines, and a far greater percent of Alaskans reafl Shakespeare and Aris
totle and Bacon, than do residents of the States. Alaskans are omniver
ous readers and posted to the last word on any subject from the Giant’s
record to President Harding’s views on the bonus bill. The long winters
give ample time for reading, and it. is enjoyed to the uttermost.
Living is cheap in Alaska compared with the States. In other
words, a man will get more money out of four dollars a day here than he
can in the States. There are not so many temptations and Alaskans as
a rule are more provident. While our relatives in the States are prob
ably commiserating with us over our misfortunes, we are reveling in
moose steaks, ptarmigan pie, and all that the land affords.
Winter is our holiday, and we make the most of it.—Seward
Gateway.
The business of farming fox and other varieties of fur is an Alas
kan industry that is just becoming prominent. True, the business was
begun a good many years ago; but it is only in recent years that it ha3
a topped into public notice. The Pathfinder has given considerable notice
in late issues to this new industry. Furthermore, we shall continue to
lend every possible aid and publicity to the raisers of fur—because fur
fanning, along with mining, agriculture, and mqfny other lines of en
deavor, is a genuine Alaskan Home Industry.
, There is no doubt about it, fur farming is Alaskan. The men
and women who have been pioneering in fur raising for the past twenty
years are, almost Vithout exception, genuine Alaskans. They live in
Alaeka. Unlike the wild geese, they do not come north in the summer
to live off the fat of the land and then go south in the winter for foreign
consumption. They stay here. They buy their supplies here. The
people they employ are Alaskans. The money they earn comes back to
Alaska to build homes, make improvements, and help solidify the founda
tion of the Territory’s future prosperity. Unlike many other industries,
this one takes nothing from our natural resources. T^e only thing
Alaakg furnishes them is the opportunity and the right climatic conditions.
Thoy furnish all the reet—and whatever they produce Is earned and added*
Increment. Anything that lends aid to fur farming is patriotic Business.
