AX INTEKKST1NU VISITOR
He came into the office just as we were going to press. A stalwart
son of the North, with Just a shade of gTev in the full whiskers and hair,
bix feet two or three of brawny manhood. His eye had a kindly twinkle,
his accent indicated northern Europe extraction, his experiences In the
north covered twenty years of labor and struggle at Nome. W e listened
to bits of interesting narrative of life in Nome; of a man, who struggled
ugainst odds, and won—only to find the odds still against nitn, and losing.
Thera was no great exultation In bis winning against the little fallows, ill
admitted frankly that he pushed them pretty hard to get what they tad.
and, when a stronger (.hat he came, and. outmauuewared him, he had lto
lomplaint to make, merely acknowledging his defeat and taking it as he
1 ad taken his successes aa part of the toil of the day. with neither bitter
ness against the other, nor, whining at hard fate.
He got more fun out of dealing with the labor unions and showing up
the falacj of some of their rules and regulations as applicable to conditions
in mining In the North, than the average man is able to get. When labor
is a dollar an hour, with board, aud only three months in which to make
tho harvest of the year, some men would have soured on unions aud union
ism. this tine specimen of the north merely dealt with human nature and
beat the unions with it.
He was not averse to crowding them when opportunity offered and
when he had beaten them lie let them know it. But to him It was sim
ply a part of the daily toil, had they beateu him, he would have taken it,
iu the same way as he took his defeat by the larger companies.
He left Nome on the last boat, and after a short stay iu Seattle came
north on the Spokane to go to Sitka to seek the curative properties of the
springs there, for he walked with a cane, thoush* there were evldeuces of
reserves oi strength in the frame which iia.l probably seeu at least sixty
summers, but he wanted to get rea :n cult r to go bac!; again to the mines
in Noma.
We sa» him for not more than fifteen minutes; we asked not more
than half a dozen Questions; he would not give us his name: yet, he left
cn us one of the pleasantest memories we have ever experienced in an ac
quaintance of so short duration. To fight and win and be not unduly
elated; to fight and lose aud still to maintain one's calm and peace of mind,
Is a rare combination. This man has done it. He wins as much by los
ing as he wins by winning.
Improve
The chief development of the cur
rent month has beoa the improve
ment in the labor situation. The
amount of voluntary unemployment
had beeu greatly reduced and wages
have shown a distinct upward teu
deucy. Mining output increased
about 3 per ceat during August and
has shown a tremendous expansion
during September, due to the reop
ening of most of the bituminous aud
anturante coal mines. The general
pr.ce level has remained constant
during the month. The August in
dex number of the Federal Reserve
Board was the same as that for July,
Manufacturing was slightly cur
tailed in August but has recovered
duiiug September. Iron furnaces and
steel mills are increasing their rate
of production to satisfy the contin
ued large demand of railroads and
automobile companies. Cotton mills
aud it nit goods factories have In
creased their output, woolen machin
ery is slightly more active, and Au
gust silk consumption was the larg
est for any month since 1919. The
continued building activity has re
sulted in an improved demand for
lumber, cement aud other building
material*.
The average condition of farm
crops declined somewhat during Au
gust The cotton crop has suffered
severe damage from boil weevils and
from drought. The estimate* ot the
corn crop have been much reduced
but the prospects for spring wheat
have considerably improved.
Wholesale trade Improved sub
stantially during August district re
porting 'lines. Every district report
* <1 increases in dry goods sales which
averaged almost SO per cent higher
than iu July. Retail trade Improv
ed considerably during August and
the volume of business was larger in
most sections than In August, 1921.
The banks are in a strong position
and are meeting the seasonal demand
for credit with case. This season
al demand has led to increases in
rates for both call and time money
at New York. European exchange
rates have generally declined during
September and there has also been a
slight decline in Asiatic exchanges.

eral grand jury sprung a full orbad
surprise on the public of this city

Radio Plant at
Eagle Will Be
Ready Soon
JACK HILLARD TKI.LS OF WORK
BEING DONE >X>K WIRE
LESS SERVICE
WILL HAVE BUNCH TRAINED
FOR USE OF STRANDED
AVIATORS
Jack Hillard, U. S. customs collec
tor at Eagle, who is stopping in town
brought uows ol the new radio plant
at Eagle which 1b in course of erec
tion, and promises to be completed
in a short time. It likely will be
working this mcnth.
The radio station 1b being built
for the United States government
and it will connect with other sta
tions in Alaska Frank Swanson has
charge of the work of erecting the
two poles for the antenna.
The equipment for the station ar
rived on the Alaska. The new opara
tor is at Eagle.
Jack Hillard also sr.ys that hs In
tends to introduce i». flr.e breed of
carrier pigeons next .summer for
service in the North, especially for
stranded aviators. Ho took a
roughneck breed from Dawson to
Eagle and had them wandering about
Aviator Prest's airplane last July,
but never thought to stow one away
in the plane for Prest's use in case
of accident. If he had done so, word
would have been back in Eagle ten
minutes after the aviator was com
pelled to make a forced landing.
One of Jack's pigeons was taken
out by the Eagle becrch party, and
was back in Eagle with the news
that Prest was sate a few minutes
after the search party met him.
Mr. Hillard believes that carrier
pigeons will do well iu the North
and prove of excellent service iu
many ways. But it is necessary, he
says, to get them used to the coun
try before letting them out on long
flights. Give them practice, take
them out into the wilds, not too far
out to start with, but increasing the
distance, and soou they will know
the country and be able to make
long trips.
i Alaska Motion
! Pictures Made
In California
Yosemite, Cal., Oct. 18.—Motion
picture companies always welcome
to Yoseuiite National Park, find win
ter conditions here admirably suited
(or pictures of life in Alaska and
other parts of the Far North.
One company last winter wanted
real ice floes on a real like, with
a snow background, and their wish
was granted at Mirror Lake, where
some ice was chopped loose and
towed across the lake to give a drift
ing effect.
A complete Alaskan dog team
spent several weeks here last winter
and one company brought a wolf.
Motion p.cture companies may bring
dogs and firearms into the park for
use in their work, although the gen
eral public is barred from doing so.
A stirring experience was had by
one company, which came in here
for a winter picture. The company
wanted snow scenes in the high
country, so the actors and actresses
started to hike across the floor of
the valley, where their hotel was lo
cated. up the cliffs to Glacier Point,
3,254 feet high. A stcrm came up
and the company would have been
lost without Forrest S. Townsloy,
chief ranger. Some of the company
were out nearly 18 hours in covering
the 11 miles of trail and Townsley
said the leuding lady crawled on her
hands and knees for the last two
miles. z
Despite the hardships, the indom
itable director saw his chance, how
ever, and filmed the scenes. Mo-'
tion picture men say the pictures of
that trip were among tne finest win
ter pictures ever made.
Summer scenes are made by the
dozen here, where companies find,
Alpine meadows, wooded stretches
of pine and fir, cascades in the
Merced River, pools where reflec
tions are like a mirror, roads broad ]
and smooth or narrow and pitching
as the route to some old western |
mining town, picturesque bridges
and trails which cling to the edges I
of the cliffs. I
Daughter and Dad Are Regular
Pals And Also Mother and Son
By W. Black: Julian Huxley says i
that It isn't going U> be long before i
we're going to be aole to choose
whether to have a son or a daughter. I
If that's true, I wonder Just how I
many daughters there will be In the 1
world. 1
I'll tell you—Just about as many
No—not ault« that. There are
men who prefer sols to daughters—
before they're born. It's the old
world idea of an heir and a suc
cessor in business, «nd there's some
thiiig sweet and protective about it
too. A man likes to think that If
he should die he would leave be
hind him a son, not ouly to per
petuate his name, but to protect his
son's mother, when he, himself, is
gone.
That's all very well for the first
year, but have you never noticed
that a man is particularly fond of
his daughters when they get to be
seven or eight years old? And when
they're seventeon or eighteen that's
the time that Father wouldn't give
one of his daughters for half a
donen sous.
Mother Is just the other way
around. She likes a son the best.
Oh. yes, daughter's all right when
she's little and pretty and yielding
and can be dressed up and fussed
comes to the 'teens—give mother a
son e;very day In the week. How
she does love to caM him rough and I
rude and how she glories In his |
roughness and rudeness even while
she's scolding him about them. How
proud she is of him—she can never
get over the wonder of It—what,
that tall, bror.d-shouldered, high
headed, opinionated, domineering,
man—her son, her little baby.
And son is a good deal more apt
to be devoted to mother than
daughter.
Daughter and dad—they're the pals
—they're the ones with the secrets
and the whispers and the cajole
ments.
And, whisper, here's a strange
thing—have you ever nottced It?
I never yet saw a woman Jealous
of her husband's love for her daugh
ter, but I have seen more than one
man jealous of his wife's love for
her son. I wonder why.
The unselfish mother and the un
selfish iather—which will they wish
for—a son or a daughter, not for
their own pleasure and happiness,
but for the pleasure and happiness
of the child?
Which gets the most fun out of
life—the man or the woman?
Do you know? Do I? Oh, of
course. It is always said that men
have the best of everything—but do
they always—really?
Doesn't It deperd entirely upon
the Individuals.?
I k no iff scores of men who work
hard and play hard and .worry hard,
too.
And their wives don't do a thins
but play. There's no work for them
to do and there's nothing to worry
about.
Of course, we all know women
who work and worry, too, but some
bow, In the natural division of
things, I don't believe the man has
very much the better of It. He has
more pleasure, more luterest In life,
and he is less tied down as a rule—

But, somehow, I never could see

ng it.
Why should the average woman
ook at her day's work in the same
ational way, sensible, matter-of-fact
way? If she did, I believs she d
;et a lot more fun out of it.
And then there is a lot of pleas
ire in home-making and h ,tne keep
ng and a really natural woman real
ly likes to be a woman—and would
not know what on earth to do with
herself if she should suddenly have
to turn into a man, with a man's
ivork and a man's responsibilities
md a man's somewhat dull percep
tions, to bear and make the best of
It.
Of course, no man in his senses
would change places with a woman.
But I don't believe that any sen
sible woman who is also a natural,
well-balanced woman, ever really
wants to change places with c man
Dither—when you come right down
