LKT'S PARTITION “IRRIjANI) •!
For seven hundred years the original Ireland has fought for its
"freedom,” and to now has gotteu nowhere worth while in that direction
because the North of Ireland would, not allow the South of Ireland to
apeak or legislate for it—because they were only one Nationally and geo
graphically; not in thot. action or needs and desires. Speaking along those
lines and the attempt to fuse parts that will not fuse, it is 750 years wasted
for the fly in the Irish Free State ointment is the "unmixableness" of the
two great parts of the Irish body politic—a "freedom” which spells • arm
ed” if not "neutrality.” This Ireland of Ours, called by the Geographers
"Alaska." with the example of the Old Ireland ever before us. would be
foolish to spend seven hundred years more, throwing seven centuries of
our life into the discard with the half-century which has been, to attain
an intelligent "freedom" unhampered by the faults and beliefs of the
divergent peoples of Alaska, when in this decade we can by intelligent
action and by agreeing to. each section mind its own business and speak
only for itself, reach, each section, the chance to work its own destiny
Alaska is "built" like a toy dog hewed out of a block of wood, by
a dull axe. withM»iieveig» rugged protuberences in spots and a long and
irregular and irresponsible tail, fractured in several of its connecting
"buttons." Alaska proper, (all but the tail and the fringe of the hair
on-the-dogl is what is called "Interior Alaska." because it is on the land
side of the range of mountains and hills which divides the "beachcombers"
from the Alaska Natives. Whenever and wherever the beachcombers
mix with the Nativos, the loss and degradation are ALL the Natives. For
tunately for the natives, or real Alaskans, the beachcombers haven't the
guts to climb the rise to the Interior, or pack their own share of the work
of Interior life, but now comes the day when the beachcombers are given
access to the Interior by a working railroad, with the chance to ride on
cushions all the way from the Beach to the Interior, and they* are beginn
ing to come for brief stays and bringing their intellectual poison or propa
ganda with them, and it doesn’t listen good to real Alaskans.
Contamination and losses materia] are the natural sequel of all this,
and if we can obtain a divorce from our morganatic marriage to Mr. Beach
comber at the next Term of Court of the Congress of the United States, it
seems to us up to rs. Alaska to become a quick Grasswidow as soon as
God and Congress will permit for it is far better to be a live rich Grass
widow than a dead morganatic concubine of a Beachcomber—the school
book will tell yon that.
The tip of the tail o fthe Dog. which is Juneau, is on the Department
of the Interior’s map only about an inch and a half from Seattle and half
an inch from Canada. It isn’t bigger than a pint of cider, but is bigger
than all Outdoors in talk and politics and camouflage, and it is a menace
to the blood-and-guts of Real Alaska for that. Being so close to Make
balieve Land, and it being so easy for Juneauites to travel, they travel
South much and land in Washington as frequent-like as possible. They
love the sound of their own voices, and they talk, all the time. When they
ttaik they say nothing worth listening to as from Real Alaska, but the
fellers they talk to know' even less than they do. the Beachcombers about
Alaska, and believe, and ACT. They, like the Beachcombers, never
seem to get anywhere in “acting” on Alaska, but that Is OUR luck.
Some day, if we do not protect ourselves, ignorance of Alaska will
meet up with ignorance FROM Alaska at the psycological moment for
the doing of harm, and we will reap the whirlwind of ignorance which we
cannot control.
At Juneau and Ketchikan, on the Tail-tip, they have started a move
ment to divide Alaska, and leave them alone in all their glory to live ofT
themselves and their own resources—the fish in the sea, the eagle in the
air, the serpent on the rock and the maiden forests which homeport on
the Tip. They and theirs are and is a get-rich-qulck proposition, but is
is cheap at any price to lose them and let them prey upon each other and
each break ignorance against the ignorance of his fellowtownie. The ,
divorce and the alimony of all of the Fringe of Alaska to the Beach
combers would be like sudden riches for Interior Alaska, and we are for it. I
To divorce the Great Area of the Real Alaska from the stinking I
beach and the smelly Inhabitants thereof who are compelled to wear their j
pipes upside down to keep them from being doused by the rain is a :
consummation greatly to be desired by Alaskans. Let them take their
hair and hide, leave us the blood and guts, and let them go their way in
such political peace as they may be able to accomplish, which will be a
Donnybrook Fair peace—their limit.
Let’s put in with them, on this idea—to the end of the accomplish
ment of that plan, solely. Let them take their Fringe and call it "South
eastern Alaska"—not "Alaska," for they are of Alaska but not IN IT.
and have no right to the name. Let them have Statehood, or any old
thing politically they believe that they desire, and let us encourage them
in their desire for it, and help them attain it. And, let all the rest of
Alaska, which is all there really is to Alaska, be by ourselves as ALASKA,
which we really are and always have been.
If. in time, we discover that we still have two divergent viewpoints,
we can then divide again, amicably and fairly, into EAST ALASKA and
WEST ALASKA—while the Tail is still attached to the Dog and insists
upon wagging the Dog and insists upon wagging the Dog. and has or is
given all the power to so do by Washington, the Dog is apt to be wrecked,
frightfully. DIVORCE THE TAIL, then let the Body and Guts act as
one piece of geographical and physical organization.
The end will justify the means.—Fairbanks News-Miner.

Spit on your hands, get a good hold on the Seward Peninsula

THERE IS NO STRENGTH AT ALL. .Even a ptarmigan and
a timber wolf know there is power in E Pluribus Unuin.
For a long time the different localities of this District have ♦
been backsliding into little hermit villages: there has been a *
frightful lack of co-ordination. We have pulled at Congres- *
rional influence from every point on the coinpass, with the re- *
suit that we haven't gotten anywhere. We have been like +
borne dog teams we all know of: "Geeing” and 'Hawing" +
when the command was Straight Ahead. +
The NUGGET wants a weekly news letter from every settle- *
ment in the District. It wants to print your activities, social
and otherwise, and it wants the feelings and expressions of +
your community on the big issues confronting us all. It +
wants your support by subscription.. A larger paper means a +
better paper. Buy it; read if. ml send us your suggestions +
as to how to better It. We would like to be a perfect mirror +
of the Peninsula's thoughts and desires. This will require +
teamwork. +
Just laying back there in your cabin, grumbling and growl- *
ing to yourself wont help any Clear, constructive criticism. +
though, when given the light of day may accomplish wonders. +
Get together. Appoint someone in your community as cor- +
respondent and let the World know you haven't hibernated for +
