Kodiak Diary
(continued from page 3)
postmaster in Alaska won’t pay
because the things are no good
in Alaska.
You’d think if such were the
case that it would state on them
“Good in the United States
Only” and that it would point
out that they are not acceptable
in foreign countries and Alaska.
But then perhaps that is too
much to expect.
When you go to a Railway
Express office in the states (this
happened) they won’t accept
shipment because there is no
Railway Express agency in Ko
diak (what a big mistake).
When you go to buy a steam
ship ticket to Kodiak (this hap
pened in Eugene, Ore.) they tell
you, in September, that it is al
ready frozen up and there are
no boats untit Sping.
But when you go to buy a
United States Postal Note, they
tell you nothing and sell you
one.
Here is where we get even, in
a way, for all those bright peo
ple in the States who are always:
requesting Alasaans to submit
funds “In United States curren
cy”. (A bank, mind you, made
that request to our Kodiak
bank )
We are going to write to our
subscriber and tell her hereafter
to submit her remittances in
“United States money ”
It isn’t the subscriber’s fault,
but we’ve just got to get it out
of our system.
We wouldn’t feel so about it,
but the last good old fashioned
money order that we got, the
kind that any postmaster will
pay, even Kodiak, was made out
by a post office in the States
that, after consulting the manu
al, discovered Kodiak was on
Annette Island.
And we couldn’t cash that
one
And before that, we got one
from a soldier-subscriber made
out by a soldier and endorsed by
him to us. Civilians can do it
but soldiers can’t.
And we couldn’t cash that
one.
Asinine, isn’t it?

One of the calendars was given
to Charles Madsen, who looked
on the back of October and read
the following:
We quote: “Kodiak Bear—
Found along upper Alaska coast
and some outlying islands, most
numerous on the Alaska penin
sula. Largest in the world, the
bear is said to be extinct on
Kodiak island.”
This was very interesting to
Charles Madsen, president of the
Kodiak Guides Association, na
tionally-known Kodiak-bear-on
Kodiak-island guide outfit, chief
exponent of the “world’s largest
bear” on Kodiak island, and
quoter of authentic statistics on
the large numbers of bear on the
island.
The calendar should also be
given to local eattlemen, who
probably would like to know
that loss of cattle from their
herds has been occasioned by an
‘extinct” animal.
The calendar gives credit to
Robert Page Lincoln as author
of the misinformation. Someone
should page'Mr. Lincoln to let
him know he can’t fool all the
people all the time.
