PRfTTY TRIBUTE TO FORMER
DELEGATE DAN SUTHERLAND
W. H. Holmes, better known to his
maqy friends as “Doe,”, a former
Alaskan,, but. now located at Ama
rillo, Texas, recently paid the follow
ing pretty tribute, to Dan Sutherland,
Alaska’s former Delegate to Con
gress:
“A short time ago,my good friend1
Dai\ made me a visit which I enjoyed j
a great deal. We talked much of the '
yesterdays.
“I found him the same Dan of the
long ago; a little older, but with the
sanje kind thoughts for his fellow-'
men: always ambitious to do good for
all piankind; a mar .who has not been
chapged by holding public office; who'
stilt thinks of men ahove money, and
not i money above men.
“He has never become too learned
to learn, and has always placed ser
vice to his Alaska as his chief aim,
never losing sight of the fact that
men, whether they be rich or poor,
are entitled to-equal and exact con
sideration from their representative.
“He is always mindful of the
huiqan side in everything that conies
before him. He invites the love of
in comfort t- all paints in

eabb plane. Large baggage
pompartment separate from the
cabin. Equipment for water

his friends and commands the respeet
of his enemies.
“He was a progressive, able Con. I
pressman and will long be remem- j
bered by Alaskans, and former Alas-;
kans, for his faithful service rendered i
to Alaska; for his able and deter-.)
mined stand on public questions, ex |
ercising without fear his fine thought
in behalf of the people, who lived in
his Territory.
“Throughout the 28 ,year» that;.-. I
have had the pleasure of knowing
hint, Dan never .cbaRgqdi He .Was al
ways as easy of approach while Con
gressman as when he w»s a pros
pector—a virtue not always found in
men who have , bceut .honored, with
high office.
“I do not think many sourdoughs
are blessed with mope true friends
than Sutherland; a man with a soul,
rare ability and the ppurage of his
convictions, believing that no good
can come from compromise between ;
right and wrong.
“And to you, Dan:-,
“ ‘Wherever you stay, wherever you
go, May the beautiful palms of Allah
grow; So I touch my heart—as the
Easterners do. May the peace of A.l-.i
lah abide with you.';”
POINT BARROW GIRL TELLS ';j '
OF VISIT TO THAT PLACE, OF' <
COL. AND MRS. LINDBERGH !
Flossie George, who has completed
three years of high school work at !
the Sheldon Jackson School at Sitka,
Alaska, and who is this, year, return-'
ing to that school to finish the course,
writes from Barrow to the, Sitka
Verstovian as follows:
“What do you think I a ipdoing
way up here near the North Pole ?
Well, to tell the good truth, I am |
having such a wonderful time right
now. Yes, you know already that,
our greatest American dyer. Golonel
Lindbergh, arrived here last Friday,
And it is so good -to know .that I am
really seeing him how and his splen->
did wife, Mrs. Lindbergh, f will,say,
this much that I have never met
such wondeful people, before., They
are not the fussy kind or not even
spoiled. They act just like any of
us. I never dreamed before that 11
would sit beside Colonel Lindbergh
at tre dinner table. Mrs. Lindbergh
is a peach and very sweet too. |
“Colonel Lindbergh asked how
many years I had been here. Why, I
told him this is my home town and
that I always have lived here, but 11
told him I had been outside to school
and since I came back I have been
home two years. He thought th^t
was just wonderful. I told him what;
school it was and also showed him |
school pictures and a picture of
Sitka. They both said Sitka is a very
pretty place.
“We had them to dinner last night
and we had the nicest visit with
them. It thrills my soul to have a
talk with them and laugh with them.
To forget their great side, you’d
think they are one of your family or
your school mates. They play and
have a hea pof fun. When we got up
from the table they both helped to
clear the table.
“Today he taught little * Beverly
how to stand on his. head ,pt>d «Mrs.
Lindbergh danced a Mexican, dance.
My I never will forget their .visit
here, and people here have nearly
went wild to see them. When they

a whale when they were pulling it
from the water, i.
“Tonight the gave a talko ' to us
about airplanes and what the plane
will be .doing herb later in Barrpw.
People just clap and clap. He. also
told us how surprised he was to
learn that so many pan talk good
English. Col. Lindbergh was sur-:
surprised to know that this is my
home town and that I had been out..
Maybe he thought. I was from out
side too. This is going to help me
ever so much. |

They were thrilled., and «Maggie’s

ERNEST SAWYER ADVOCATES !
FROG RAISING IN ALASKA
- That raising of bullfrogs might be
Jrofitable in Interior Alaska is the
suggestion of Ernest Walker Sawyer
)f the Department of the Interior in
i letter written to the Fairbanks
'Jews-Miner.
He makes the further suggestion
hat research be carried on to deter
nine the.. feasibility of establishing
he industry at Fairbanks.
“On-one of ray visits to Matanuska
his summer I; was surprised ire one
ocality to find thousands o£ small
rogs,” Mr;-.-Sawyer writes;. L also
ereived the impression that -in that
efinite .locality there was almost a
otal absence. of local mosquitoes.
!rogs undoubtedly thrive in Mata
uska.
“On .njy-return to the States I in
estigatjed the frog situation on the
Vest coast and secured a booklet on
he subject “Commercialization of the
iullfrog,” by M. W. Herriman, of
-akeside Frog Farms, Ltd., Lakeside,
California. I hope interest will de
elop in Alaska. I believe bullfrogs
ould eventually be put up there in
ans or quick frozen at a very large
rofit. * Most of our frog legs now
;me frem Louisiana, but a great
hmber’Tare being brought' in from
lawaii."'’ i
