-o
Miss Narene Elliott, formerly of
this city, and B. B. Mozee, head of
the reindeer service of the U. S.
Bureau f Education, were married
May 26, in Kodiak.
The marriage was kept a secret
until it was announced in Anchorage,
where both have resided for some
time.
Miss Elliott was connected with
a local hospital as a nurse for a
time and spent one summer at Twin
Glacier Camp as manager. She
went to Anchorage from here as a
nurse. Mr. Mozee has been connect
ed with the Federal Bureau of Edu
cation for several years and was re
cently promoted from District Super
intendent to have charge of all the
bureau’s reindeer activities.
Mr. and Mrs. Mozee will make
their home in Nome, proceeding
there from Anchorage early this

EDUCATION
What is an education worth? A
college dean of Boston puts the v.v
erage maximum income of the hig:i
school graduate at .^1,200 and of tl-v
college graduate at $6,000. Yet
there is no fixed measure of the re
lative value of trained men. Two
who have gone through the same
curriculum may be poles apart in
the use they make of their mind e
One man owes more to mother \\>f
than the hooks could teach him. But
he who gets farthest absorbs an !
theory and learns from practice too,
says the Philadelphia Ledger. The
most skillful craftsmen at the work
bench does not pour contempt on
technical literature, hut consults it
every opportunity, knowing where
to put his finger on the referon ■ »
he wants.
THAT GOOD WILL PARTY
(Valdez News-Minor)
-o
Two or three weeks ago, or pos
sihly it was three or four, a party
arrived in Valdez, which dubbed if
self a “good will’’ party. It was
made up, as far as we have been able
to learn, of members of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce and th?
Young Men's Business Club of Se
attle.
Naturally, considering they were
businessmen .from Seattle, and that
they had dubbed the trip one of
good will, we rather anticipated
they were coming North to express
in some form or other their appre
ciation for the loads of coin they
have milked the Territory out of
during the last 30 years, but w e
were tooled.
When the steamer with the party
tied up at the wharf here we found
a vociferous hunch in fantastic at
tire. and we gained the idea that
here was a hunch trying to show
the hicks how cute the city cut-up
could he when he set out to exert
himself. However, we were inform
l\1 t l.at they had been having a
masquerade dance on the ship and
we revised our opinion on the party.
We thought, of course, that upon
landing these business men would
at once got in touch with the mer
chants and that a conversation
something like this vyould occur.
How are you Mr. Merchant? We're
mighty glad to meet you personally
and assure you we appreciate th*
businoss you have given us. Ii:\s
there been any dissatisfaction with
our goods or our service? Com*
on down to the boat; I’ve got a bot
tle of good stuff and w'e’ll have a
little drink to continue good fellow
ship. Oh no, nothing like that oc
curred, so far as we can find out.
Of course they wanted to take the
canyon trip, what do you suppose
tlcy came North for. What, pa/
for it, I should say not 1 Hasn’t the
City Council, knowing we were cor.,
ing, appropriated funds for our en
tertainment?
This is the first time it has ever
come to our notice where the sellej
expected the buyer to do the enter
taining. But that’s the true Seattle
sprit. Since then we have been
wondering where the “good will”
came in, but it was only a couple of
days ago that we hit upon what we
believe is the solution. We think
they had really agreed among them
selves before leaving Seattle that
they would not charge Alaskans any
thing for entertaining them—a truly
characteristic expression of Seattle’s
good will.
O'MALLEY ADMITS FAILURE
OF ITTS REGULATIONS
Several times in his conversation
hero anent the conditions of the fish
eries of Alaska. Mr. O’Malley said
teat the pack this year would he
better a million and a half cases
short of what is being put up.
In Ketchikan he warned the can
ners that unless they were more con
servative in their efforts to pack
salmon he would be compelled te
make more drastic regulations. That
the regulations promulgated last,
year were with the view of cutting
production down 30 percent whereas
