A HAPPY NEW YEAR
The Daily Alaskan wishes you a Happy and Prosperous New Year:
just as happy as you can make it and just us prosperous as you cn possi
bly use to the best advantage of yourself and your friends and neighbors.
If these good things come to you in your life, it will depend in no small
measure on the way In which you look at life and the altitude you take to
ward your fellows. The chances are that most of your fellows will re
spond to your advances, if not to the full measure of your expectations, at
least to a measurable degree, and with patience on your part they may re
spond to an ever inci easing degree. Be sure, however, that the worth while
measure of your happiness and prosperity will depend largely upon what
you do and what you put into it.
We therefore wish you a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
UNCLE SAM THOl'GHTFIL
Thousands of soldiers who enlisted or were dratted In the recent war,
hoped that the Bonus Bill would go through. Few have hopes that such
a bill will get through by this session of Congress. A large section of the
citizenry of the country hope that such a bill will not come up. Not with
any thought that they do not want full justice and generous dealing given
the soldier, but on the ground that the government has an enormous debt
at the present time, and cannot well assume three or four billion dollurs
ot additional Indebtedness. But the time will come when these same men,
Will realize, whatever be their feeling now, that Uncle Sam is not forgetful
ot his primary obligations to the men who have responded to Ills call In
time of need. That this is abundantly justilied is seen and euu be tes
titieil to by many thousaud9 of civil war veterans, and the veterans and
widows or other wars. Only last Saturday, President Harding signed a
bill g.ving to these old soldiers and their widows a very substantial in
crease in their pensions. This means for them the alleviation of anxiety
tor their support so long as they shall live. And this is a hundred fold
better than to give a few hundred dollars bonus to men. young in years,
able bodied and capable of supporting themselves. T e time may and will
come to many when a few dollars' pension each month will mean far more
than two or three hundred dollars can possibly mean »t this time.
Those who assert that L'ncle Sam has not acted generously toward his
soldiers should consult the pension roll of the past generation. This makes
an irrefutable argument.
WILL BE BROUGHT
TO HIGH STANDARD
The growing reindeer industry of
Alaska offers great possibilities in
meat production. Heretofore, no ef
fort has been made to improve the
reindeer herds. The establishment
of a standard of excellence for use
as a guide in breeding and growing
reindeer is now under consideration
by the Bureau of Biology Survey and
the Bureau of Animal Industry in
tne I'nited States Department of
Agriculture.
Representatives of the two Bu
reaus held conferences in September
to establish tentative standards of
weight, girth, conformation, quality
type, color, and other points affect
ing the production and market value
of reindeer meat. It is believed that
such a standard which reindeer'
breeders may use for the improve
ment of their herds will be of mucli
value, especially in the absence of
registry associations and limited op
portunities for livestock shows, de
monstrations and judging contests.
In the opinion of experts in the
Bureau of Biological Survey, it will
be posa.ble to add 200 pounds to the
weight of the average reindeer by
the careful selection of breeding
stock. In this connection, the Bu
reau of Animal Industry, which has
had experience in grading up many
kinds of domestic animals, has sug
gested the desirability of establish
ing a standard of excellence and is
co-operating in the work. Persons
familiar with reindeer breeding or
interested in the Industry are Invited
to express their views toward devel
oping this new and promising field
Communications may be addressed
to the Chief of the Bureau of Bio
logical Survey at Washington, or to
Mr. L. J. Palmer, in charge. Rein
deer Experiment Station, Nome Al
aska.
The standard of excellence tor
reindeer is given as follows: Weight
and size, according to age, 15%;
breed-type and color, 109t; form,
bead and neck 10%, for* quarters
lOCf, body 15c/,. hind quarters 15CJ
Quality, 15rj; conditions, 10'";.
THANK PAPER MILL
IS NOW ASSURED
That the year 1923 will be the
year 1 (or this portion of Alaska Is
the glad news brought by W. T.
Tolch. local manager of the Alaska
Gastineau Mining Company, who re
turned Wednesday of this wr>ek from
a business trip to San Francisco,
where he conferred with tho officials
of the company.
According to Mr. Tolch an option
has been given by the Alaska Gasti
neau Company to a pulp and paper
corporation on all the surface Im
provements of the former concern
which embrace practically everything
owned by it in Alaska with the ev
enption of its ore deposits and min
ing machinery. The latter is now
being purchased by a different con
cern and as soon as it is removed
from the buildings they will be dis
mantled aud converted into suitable
structures for the manufacture o!
pulp aud paper.
It is said that the new company
will rebuild the Salmon Creek power
house that was recently practicrtll.%
destroyed by fire, and that other im
provements will be under way h>
early spring. Mr. Tolch will not be
connected with the new company bu
will res.gn his connection with the
Gastineau people to accept a mon
lucrative position offered him in ti e
city engineering department of
Seattle. Emil Gastonguay, chief
electrician for the company, will suc
ceed Mr. Tolch with trie Gastineau
Mining Company.
All the buildings owned by the
mining company at Thane are em
braced in the proposed transfer, as
well as those located by the various
power plants of the concern.
While the Identity of the new com
pany is not definitely stated, it is
known that it Is prominent In the
financial and Industrial world.—

There Were No Great Back
Field Stars Developed This Year
New York, Dec. 28.—For some
reason,, not altogether clear, the
1922 football^season produced nc
great, outstanding figure In the Held
of backfield men, as has been the
case with every oiher year within
memory. Good enough as a class,
there were, nevertheless, no Killing
ers, no Coys, Brickleys, Mahans,
Gipps, Thorpes and players of this
pronounced type amoiig the lot.
As a matter of fact, the season wat
a famine so far as the development
of trnly great players iu any posi
tion was concerned. The average
was reasonably high, but individual
performances of lasting meinorj
were so few as to be almost negligi
ble.
Two Mentioned
Perhaps Kipke, of Michigan, and
Oastner, of Notre Dr.me, represented
the nearest approach to backfleki
greatness, but neither had quite the
linesse and punch that Killinger was
able to muster ns late as 12 month)
iigo, while most certr.inly they hardb
figure in the same class with immor
tr-.ls of the type of Jim Thorpe, Ned
Mehan and the late George Gipp.
Of course, Cornell men will wisl
to take issue with this writer with
I out further ado, assuring him thai
i ho psychopathic ward is very rest
ful for those who do not believe Ed
die Kaw is the greatest thing thai
I ever happened In our humble opin
Ion Eddie is nothing of the kind.

a splendid straight arm and a re

Lost Opportunity
Many of the leading backs played
on minor teams and hence never
came into the prominence their work
deserved. There were, for example,
Beck, of Vermont; Semendinger, of
Holy Cross, and Koppisch, of Col
umbia. They would have been head
line fodder had they elected to at
tend one of the colleges in the Big
Three.
Other backs of more or less prom
inence were Covington and Roberts,
of Centre College; Cleaves and Gor
man, of Princeton; Cullen and Bar
chet, of the Navy; Pfann, of Cornell;
1 Brunner, of La Fayette; Wilson, of
! Penn. State; Lee Parkin, of Iowa;
I Williams, of Wisconsin; John Thoin
j as. the Chicago line cracker: Erlck
! son, of W. and J.; Smyth and Wood,
| of the Army; Miller, of Pennsylvania
and Hewitt, of Pitt.
On past performances, Owen and
Buell; of Harvard, might have quali
fied for the elect, but they staked
themselves to an Indifferent season
and were seldom consistent.
CLOSE DUAL OX THANE
MILL EQUIPMENT IN
SHOIIT TIME SAYS TOLOH
I The disposition of the entire mill
| equipment ut Thane within the near
, future Is most favorable according to
u statement made today by VV. T.
Tolch, business manager of the Al
aska Gastineau Mining Company. It
is expected that a deal will be made
and closed within a short time.
Louis Dulien for several years
manager of the Alaska Junk Com
pany of Seattle, and now in busi
ness for himself, and B. Levine,
managing buyer for the Northwest
Steel & .Metal Products Company, of
Seattle, who have been In Juneau
several days, in the ii.terest of pur
chasing the mill equipment, will
leave Juneau on the s earner Alame
da for Seattle. Both men are opti
mistic for obtaining the equipment
nd said today that which ever firm
I' makes the deal, the purchasing agent
will return to supervise the dismun
, tling of the mill.
IThev are both delighted with this
part of the country, each making his

XO TIDAL W AVE
AT NEW OIL TOWN
Ed. Maddox, a former well-known
resident of Valdez. arived on the last
Victoria in Juneau from Kanatak,
the new oil town at Cold Bay, where
ho is engaged in business. He de
' nies the report, which has been wide
Ily circulated receutly, that a tidal
wave had done considerable damage
to property at Kanatak, stating that
the report had no foundation what
ever in fact.
He reports Kanatak as quiet at
this time, and that the population
has decreased rapidly during tile past
few weeks. This, he says is due to
the fact that liv.ng is very high there
and there is no employment for la
bor at this time except with the oil
companies, and their activities have
been removed to the oil fields proper
some miles from the town. As a re
sult many are seeking other locations
for the wiuter, and will return in the
spring.
Mr. Maddox states that the men
connected with the oil companies are
very sanguine about striking oil in
the Cold Buy field in commercial
quantities. At first they were very
conservative in their talk on the sub
ject, but upon further investigation
they are very optimistic. One of
them, Mr. Maddox stales told him
that on the Teakett'e Dome property
■ u the Wyoming field, a 20.000 bar
rel well had recently been brought
in that the Teakettle Dome is not
one half as favorable for large oil j
production as the Pearl Creek dome!
of the Cold Bay field.
The Associated Oil Company, Mr.
Maddox states, will begin drilling on
their property about the first of the
year, and it was expected that the
Standard Company would be ready
about the same time, but the latter
company has experienced consider
able difficulty in freighting supplies
to their property and probably will
not be ready to drill before the first
of February.

OIL DRILLING IN

Seattle, Dec. 29.—The Standard
Oil Company and the Associated Oil
Company expect to start drilling i'l
the Cold Bay region In February.
Progress is noted in the get .1 '4 of
things ready for the first work to be
gin at that time. They will drill on
adjoining locations. The two com
panies estimate that the respective
expenses at the drilling of the Irsi
two wells will be about a half mil
I.011 dollars.

THE KNOCKOUT BLOW
The editor of Tho Smalltown) Bu
gle, like some others of his brethren,
experiences considerable difficulty in
persuading his subscribers to come
forward, from time to time, with the
annual subscription price.
"If it is agreeable to you," he An
ally wrote to one hardened delin
quent, "I will accept two bushels of
corn in payment, of the amount you
owe me." "I regret to say," re
sponded Farmer Brown; In due
course, "that in feeding my stock I
have used all the corn, I raised."
"Dear Mr. Brown," began the next
letter of the series, "inasmuch as
yoti have used all your cotd, I pre
sume you have a large supply o<
corn cobs on hand, and I would be
glad to accept a load thereof Ih pay
ment of the amount due from youi
as I can use them in place of kind
ling wood." "Mr. Editor," replied
the farmer by the next mail, "your
letter has been received and con
tents noted. What I want to know
is this-^-what in Sam Hill do you
think I'd want with your paper, if I
had a supply of cobs to use in kind
