SOME “SAYINGS” SOLOMON
FORGOT TO SAY—ON
ALASKA AND POLITICS
Said by ANNA FRADA.
(Mrs. Herbert Greeaber.)
The principle political factions
of Alaska so far as I hare been able
to make out are only two, the
''sourdoughs’* and "cheechakas,”
and they all rote the straight
ticket, if they can get It straight, If
not they vote it any old way.
However, politics is the thing
that gets you here. It’s the live
liest berg in the world on election
day, in fact, the "liveliness” starts
long before that day and you just
can’t tell who starts it, nor where
it started from, but you soon know
when they're off.
Here’s what happens; every
thing and everybody gets busy, all
the jitneys turn out, painted with
cheese-cloth in the latest color,
with the latest portraits of the can
didates, that resemble something
the candidates didn’t sit for, and
wouldn’t 'fess up to, on any other
day. All this is done to advertise
the fact that you are to vote for It
whether you’re an art critic or not.
Then, regardless of your water
supply, the only men permitted on
the water wagons are the candi
dates and they’ve forgotten your
name and where you live already.
The banks close, the shops try to
—and the only movie in town
wouldn't turn a reel, while every
thing else is closed tight except
what’s bottled.
But of all the days in the year,
this is the woman’s day in Alaska,
the day when her voice is heard—
whether you like It or not—for this
is the day. that, (after hubby has
overlooked the p ckets), she can
wear the pants, and then she’s
ready for her part of the campaign.
Away she tramps up to her belt
in snow and down she skids over
the frozen sleet, to make stump
speeches on icebergs, post placards
cn glaciers and to put buttons on
the backs of natives, while all the
dogs are let loose to howlfor their
favorite parties, and away flows the ;
moonshine, the only thing left to j
flow like water.
But now that it’s all over, what
interests me is not those who have
been elected, for by the time they
will have decided that they’ll hav^
forgotten the winning candidate,
but as to whether the sourdoughs
or cheechakas did the electing they
have forgotten your name already. |
In Nome, there is very little gos-j
sip, because every body talks.
An optimist is a man ' who tries
to grow tomatoes in Alaska. A
pessimist is a fellow who don’t be
lieve in your claims; and one has
to come to Alaska to find both.
Judging from the number of
times the electric lights were turn
ed off in the last week, somebody
in this dry territory is liberal. I
wonder where he goes for it ?
A Squaw-man is a man who didn’t
re-make his wife, she’s a squaw be
fore he marries her.
One don’t need the "good stuff”
in Alaska to make a fellow feel like
a millionaire, all he needs is the
hallucination that his claim has the
million In it and it gives him the
same wonderful feeling.
What do you think of old King j
Solomon, after a thousand women j
were good enough to be his wives, 1
the old "sourdough” turns around
and says; ‘that not one out of the I
j thousand was worthy,’ that’s grati- ;
tude for you. Think of it, a man j
with a thousand wives and not sat
isfied; there was something wrong |
with Solomon.
When in 'Nome* do as the 'Nomens
do; but don’t over do it.
They say. that men hunt here
with very great success, and with
hardly an accident: I can’t see for
the life of me how that’s possible
with so many men and natives on
the trails. For, when these men
are dressed for the trails you could
n’t tell them from bears on their
hind legs at a decent shooting dis
I bet more than one fellow got a
shot meant for one of his ancestors
—or else didn't know himself with
so much fur on and got himself
trapped In the anklets set for
Let me tell you—and I am not
near sighted either, that there was
more than once I ran to the window
excited at what I though to be a
young cub, only to be disappointed
at discovering It to.be a neighbors
yoaopter in a fur parka.

AUTO GOES THRU ICE
IN SAFETY IiAGOON
Chas. Dalquist had an exciting
experience this Jlast week at the
Safety Uagoon. He with passen
gers crossed the lagoon on the ice
in the mail automobile and made
the crossing safely. On the return
trip Charley concluded that as he
had made the trip once he could do
so again. He took a flying start,
but the wheels cut into the ice and
the machine stuck her nose into the
water. The machine began to sink
and was held from settling into five
feet of water by the fenders which
caught in the ice. Timbers and
tackle were employed and finally
the machine was hauled out none
the worse for wear.

SCHOOL NEWS
The second month of school was
completed last Friday. The mon
thly exams show good results.
Those who make low marks are
reminded that they must do better,
but the cases are comparatively
Boys’ basket-ball is well under
way. practice games are being play
ed. and the teams are both working
hard, so as to be in good shape for
the contest games, which will start
about the first of next month.
The girls’ basket ball teams will
b*r organized the coming week, and
a good turn-out is expected. There
may not be any contest games, but
the practice games will be exciting.
A new addition was made to the
High School equipment this week,
in the form of a large supboard,
with glass doors for labratory
equipment, but there are many
things that have been laying around
which, if put away, will be better
taken care ot, especially chemistry
equipment, which is mostly glass.
The cupboard was bought of Lo
men Bros., who, when they heard
that it was to be for the school,
quoted an unusually low price on
It. This will complete the scheme
that was started last year, of keep
ing all labratory equipment under
lock and key, and in the High
School room, where it is easily ac
cessable.
The grades are preparing for the
celebration of Thanksgiving Day by
starting on plans for a program.
All the rooms will combine their
programs, thus making it possible
for visitors to hear the programs
of the different rooms.

HALL DECEMBER 2nd
The Arctic Brotherhood will glT*
their animal Barn Dance in the A.
B. Hall on the night of December

of the season. Formality is laid
aside on this occasion, Toogh
clothes and a spirit of absolute
freedom from convention prevails.
As the name implies rustic features
predominate accompanied by the
free and easy familiarity that does
not breed contempt, but brings
closer in a friendly spirit the peo
ple of Nome who have a long win
ter before them.
As in former years the A. B’s are
leaving no stone unturned to make
their Barn Dance one of the social
features that will be remembered
thruout the winter. Gather to
gether your farm clothes; if you
have no hick rig wear your "Any
old clothes” and Join the crowd on
December 2nd* in the A. B. ball.
