SEHILE'S M
ALASKA PAPER
'"eattie now boasts an Alaskan,
newspaper. For years, Alaskans
hare claimed that Seattle has con
sidered this territory a suburb for
exploitation and under its control,
bu' this is something new.
Judging from the first issue of
the "Alaska Colonist," says the
Cordova Times, its aim is:
First, to boost for Prince Ru
pert and oppose the agitation
against shipment of fish from Al
aska east via the Grand Trunk Pa
cific. . ' '
Second, to roast the Alaska steamt
ship companies.
Tnird, to hammer the bureau
crats at Wasihngton, who are re
sponsible for "jockeying the home
steader" (this is the title of the
leading article in the first issue)
and o'herwise delaying tne colon
ization of Alaska.
Fourth, to boost for Alaska and
ur?e colonists to go north.
Tie editor, William H. Rush,
says "a perusal of these columns
v^ill make it plain the Colonist has
no pipe line to any trust treasury.
The editor has had the honor of
being twice suppressed editorially
iu Ketchikan for seditions a$ here
in contained."
Rush denounces a type of com
mercial organizations in Alaska,
which he says are commonly domin
ated by the financial interests and
are used, not to encourage and pro
mote local enterprise, but to re
strict any expansion.
Other issues of this paper must
be awaited before it can be fairly
criticised.

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Do Not Lom -Sleep.
Dr. Richard C. Cabot, the well
known physician, says In au arti
cle on health In the American
Magazine:
"To avoid overeatliiK and alco
hol and the tobacco habit are
matters of self control. To get
the sleep oue needs (which means
all that one can possibly soak
Into one's system within twen
ty-four hours) often takes cour
age—the courage to refuse Invita
tions. to Invite ridicule, to seem
odd or puritanic. I believe that
more minor Illnesses are due to
lack of sleep than to any other
recognizable factor. A person
catches cold, gets lumbago, la
constipated or headache ridden
because his vitality Is below par.
his physical expenditure beyond
his physical Income. Sleep would
set him square with the world,
but to get sleep means sacrificing
the evening's fun. This he won't
do, and so he runs in debt and Is
chronically edging toward a
breakdown."

WOMAN GOLD MINER
DRIVES DOGS 510 RULES
Sail Francisco — After driving
tier dog team thru 510 ruiles of
frozen Alaska, Mrs. Pearl Howard
has just arrived iu San Francosco
fcr ft sbc-it "come out," during
which, she will visit other cities
along the Pacific Coast. She is a
miner, and declares that when her1
property, near Tanana, yields the
"big clean-up" she plans to "come
out" for good and to make her
home in the west.
Mr3. Howard said she mad© the
distance qf 510 miles from Tanana
to Ghitina with her dogs in 84
hours of actual traveling. She was
14 days on the way. A violent
blizzard held her up for four days
at a dayside inu or roadhouse. She
has sptnt 10 adventurous years in
Alaska, during which she has been
a placer miner, prospector, huuter,
trapper, dog trainer and driver.
That even the half-wolf racing dog
teams of the frozeu north are
amendable to "a woman's way" is
her belief. She says that she has
no trouble in ruling her dogs with
kindness, altho at times she is com
pelled to use her whip.
Mrs. Howard said she planned to
eater one of her dog teams and
drive It herself in the big midwint^
Winnipeg-Minneapolis race. She
says she i3 breeding a speedy strain
of sled dogs that are 50 per cent
husky and 25 per cent each of grey i
hound and Russian wolfhound.
