WORDS OF WISDOM
In one of the speeches made (hiring his tour of investigation o ( Alas
kan conditions last month General Richardson made one statement taut is
particularly significant. "There are two kinds of stories being circulated
aboti Alaska," said tbs General. "one having a tendency to keep people
away from the Territory, and the other telling of opportunities that do not
exist."
That statement has, in the past, too often been true. The first cl tss
referred to by the General axe the stories of that always-present but never
itemed bunch called "knockers " The Pathfinder does uot specialize in
riang. but in regard to the knockers we are Inclined to accent Hilly Sim
day's advice on the subject, which he gave in these words: "When you
meet a knocker. hU him where his brains ought to be and kicn him where
they are," But the people who. tell stories about our opportunities that
use loo glowing with promise,to be true, present a very different and more
Jrffk-uu problem, for the simple reason that they are usually actuated by
the best possible motive—a desire to help Alaska. Nevertheless. bo> cl
ing the Territory by making things too alluring can result in nothing else
than harm. Our mining camps, in many instances, have suffered almost
Irreparable loss by such tactics. Men have painted good prospects so
much belter tbaa they really are,-and have aroused hopes of so much big
ger profits than were possible that the proverbial black eye has been act
ministered with a terrible wallop. The policy is wrong. It never pays
In the long run.
But the Territory Is to be congratulated on the fact that the Tress Is
solidly organized to oppose any further use ot fake boosting. The Path
finder will consistently aid the other publications ot Alaska in the campaign
to stamp out everything axceflt true and trustworthy advertising of our nat
ural resource* and opportunities. And gooduess knows that we have
enough riches and possibilities up here without exaggerating tl.em one bit
Ihls magazine exists for the purpose of promoting the welfare of Pioneers
and helping to develop the resources of Alaska. But it want's the Ter
ritory's growth to be built on a solid foundation.
In this connection It is well to emphasize the fact that one part of Al
aska can have no permanent development at the expense of another part.
Right here Is a condition that ought to be corrected. The law of equal
reaction is not well understood or at least It is too often applied. We un
derstand. that the force liven an arrow is equal to the force expended in
bending the bow. but some people, organizations and newspapers do not
seem to realize that anythinc xbat prevents settlement and development of
one section must inevitably react by preventing the settlement and devel
opment of their own section—and to the same extent. The reason Is plain.
To the average man in the States Alaska is Alaska. He does not know
very much about the deferent sections, their different climates, nor their 1
different conditions.. Thus. it.is oasy to see that if you make him believe
that the mines around Valdex are no good, the result is not to interest him
in the mines around Sitka, or some other place, because to him all of these
places are just Alaska. The actual result is to make him afraid of the !
whole proposition. The way to interest him in your commuuity is to
thow him by a presentation of the facta, that your community, and every
other part of Alaska as well, are really worth his interest.—Pathfinder.
A USD OF VAST RESOl'RCES
A steamship arrived at Seattle the other day from Alaska with "a val
uable cargo composed of silver and lead from the Mayo Mine on the Yukon,
fur seal and blue fox skins from St. Paul Island of the Prioliof group, her
ring from Prince Will lam bound and other valnable cargo."
It might have, brought other-commodities had it chanced to touch at
joints where consignments were w*:tiug—copper ore canned salmon, gold
lu bars, dust knd nuggets, tin, reindeer meat, timber, coal, grain root vege
tables. wood-pulp—the list could be-exteaded indefinitely.
There is a disposition to lutme that Alaska is a country rich only in
minerals; rich particularly in gold. Its gold resources are enormous—
more of the yellow metal, experts declare, remains to be recovered than yet !
has been mtneu—but this is only one of a number of commodities which '
are being exported or which would beexpcted If the territory were de
veloped.
In spite ot discouragements, Alaska now docs a business of $100,000,
COO per ananm with the United States, If the Federal Government were
to encourage development as Canada encourages the opening up to settle
ment and use of rirgli» areas, that trade would b<- Ave times or ten times
what it Is now.—Seattla Times. :
REINDEER RELISH
FIRE WEED DIET
Discoveries made while driving the
herds of reindeer from th^ Seward
peninsula to Broad Puss Indicate ttut
the matter of feeding the animals
has undergone a radical change and
It may be possible to maintain herds
In any part of the territory where
vegetation pleaU*aAvOae tr» outer,,
the reindeer came upon large areas
of fire weed and immediately forsook
all other pasturage to gorf« t&«m
selves upon the plant. The herdars
also noted that the deer turned to
other vegetation indigenous to the
region and it is believed will eventu
ally add to their bill of fare of rein
deer moss almost any verdant plant
acceptable to ruminants.
The readiness with which the deer
accepted other feed aside from the I
moss indicates th*t It will be possi- j
ble for .ar.nera or anyone to main-1
tain a small herd In pasture and
adapt the animal to any climate.
LITTLE WANT ACS GET THE BIZ jI
CAVE MAN O. K. IX THE
MOVIES, BUT NOT HOME
Atlanta, Ga.. Oct. 13.—When
Krank Johnson "crowned" his wife
with a black jack in a restaurant,
Mrs. Ethel Johnson decided that
care man lore goes better In novels
than In real life. Now she is advo
cating that all married women stick
together for their Jnarriage rights,
particularly abolition ot the "rough"
style "affection."
Although a prison cell has brought
apparent repentance to the recalci
trant husband and he promises to do
better if she will withdraw the
chargcs against him, Mrs. Johnson
turns a deaf ear to his appeals.
"No cave man for me," she said
emphatically. "Any man who will
strike a woman ought to be in the
peniteutiary. I think I have started
a movement against 'cave man' tac
tics in the home. A husband should
be gentle and. kind. Old-fashioned
love should once more prevail. Oth
erwise '.tis a jailhouse and a dark
prison cell for frieud husband. That'B
what I say, anyhow."
In a letter to her from jail John
son wrote: "Sweetheart, if you have
a heart, please come to see me, for I
love you. I will ntrer give you one
miuute's trouble If you will conu
down here. Please don't make me
stay here any longer. . . . Darling
please bring me something to eal
We have cornbread and syrup foi
breakfast In a tin can; cornbreail
and rice for dinner, and no supper
... 1 am in one lonely dark celt
and I never get to see anybody but
a negro cook. . . Sweetheart, If
I do get out I will never bother you
again. I will get a job and go to
work."
"Can you beat it." was the com
ment. "1 have uo dependence In him.
We have been married only a short
time, but during that interval he has
terribly mistreated me and I have
been putting up with it. hoping that
perhaps some day he would get over
his cave man tactics and behave him
self. So when I heard his plea In
court I knew he didn't mean it. I
knew him."
SKAGWAY TO HAVE VISIT
Pl'BLIC HEALTH \t'R9K
The following communication from
Juneau Chapter. The American Red
Cross, was received In the last mall
and handed to the Alaskan with the
request that it be published:
Th»* IiTltcr
Juneau, Alaska
Sept. 23, 1922.
Mrs. W. C. Blar.chard,
. Skagway, Alaska.
My dear Madam:
We have secured in Alaska a field
representative for tbe American Red
Cross, whose headquarters are to be
in Juneau. Miss Ebba M. Djupe, a
Public Health Nurse, lias been sent
here to act in this capacity.
As Juneau is the capital of Alas
ka, it has seemed fitting that an ac
tive program on a peacetime basis
should be uudert^ken in this chap
ter tirst. Hence, a demonstration
in Public Health Nursing was begun
the first of September, with the
schools us its first activity. The du
ties of Public Health Nurses are so
many and varied, but It seemed best
to begin with an inspection of school
children, and to date the children of
Juneau Public Schools have been giv
eu this service, much to the Interest
and satisfaction of both parents and
teachers.
We would like very much to have
a similar demonstration in our chap
ter branches, for your information
and support, and in order that all of
Juneuu Chapter may be benefited
thereby, eventually working out an
active peacetime program which
might take the form of Public Health
Nursing, should the people feel that
this Is the logical thing to do.
Will you communicate with us at
once, in order that our program may'
be outlined in the shortest possible
time, as Miss Djupe will be with us
for a few months, only, then to pro
ceed to other chapters of Alaska, for
the purpose of doing similar work?
Very truly yours,
B. M. Behrends,
Chairman, Juneau Chapter.

DEATH HATE FROM
Tl HERCl'LOSIS REACHES
A NEW LOW LEVEL
New York, Oct. IS.—The death
rate from all (orms of tuberculosis,
In the year 1921, reached the re
markably low level of 90.7 per 100.
000 population. This information
has been- obtained by the National
Tubereirioslii Association from the
Registrars of 45 si;ates In the Union.
In J921 returns from 40 states
showed a death rate of 108 per V00,
000. The decline la 1921 Is equiva
lent, according to the association, to
a saving of about 18,000 lives In
1921 over 1920.
The association points out further
that since It began Its active pro
gram in 1905, the tuberculosis death
rate has been cut from slightly over
200 to a figure well below 100 per
100,000 population.
ADVERTISING IS ONLY
WAV FOR WINNING
Chicago, 111., Oct. 13.—Advertising
—day after day, week after week,
month after month — as the best
uethod by whieh public utilities
nay overcome pub'le prejudice, was
<trongly urged by W. H. Sawyer,
president of the East St. Louis &
Suburban Railway Company, speak
ug here today before the American
Electric Railway Association con
tention.
"Few really going, progressive cou
, cerns • in any othter business spend
less than oue per cent of their gross
on advertising, many spend five per
cent," se declared. "The average
Btreet railway company can, to good
advantage, as a business proposition
conducive to the welfare not only of
the company but o! the community
served, spend one per cent, of its
gross earnings on paid advertising.
"I believe In consistent advertis
ing, not defensive advertising
brought about by necessity, but ad
vertising calculated to prevent tht
need of a stone wall defense. I want
our customers to ki.ow the condition
of their street railway company; I
want them to know it all the time
so that when any question arises
they are fully inforued.
"Advertising'is not the solution
of all our troubles. We may still
be unfairly and unduly attacked but
advertising is a duty which we owe
to our public, our customers, and It
Is good business.
"I am using paid newspaper space
to give the public the facts. I use
a considerable amount of it and I
doubt if ! am using enough."
Mr. Sawyer\ address was part of
a public relations advertising sym
posium. Others who talked Included
M. C. Brush, Philadelphia; H. B
1 Flowers, Baltimore; Brltton I. Budd,
Chicago: Baron G. Collier, New
York City; J. P. Barnes, Louisville,
and P. S. Arkwrlght, Atlanta.
CARIBOU CRT MIXED
VP WITH TELEGRAPH LINE
The line went down at Slxtymile
thic morning and when Guy Swine
hart, the energetic operator at Ogil
vie, got out with his canoe to see
what was the matter, he found that
a bunch of caribou had got tangled
up in the wires, and one of the
animals was fast to a pole on the
Sixtymile side of the river. Guy got
things straightened out as quickly
as possible, and the wire was in
business again at noon. But no press
matter has come through since Fri
day.—Dawson Nevr—sOct. 2.
