Those of us who, in these parlous
tithes, are safelv stowed away in Alas
ka, have much to be thankful for. We
~o-strikes-and!lockouts-to terror
ize trade and depress industries, we
have no labor disputes, no reign of ter
ror as a result, of the activities of thugs
add gunmen; our women and children
are safe from molestation: predatory
wealth has no claim on our resources:
we have no pestilences nor epidemics,
flood nor frost dismay us none what
ever: the old flour barrel is full and the |
cupboard groans with provender for
the year, boiled shirts .and dickey hats
have no terrors for us- our oredlt is al- |
ways good for a meal and when it be
iomeu -exhausted willing friends and
neighbors give usof their goods to tide
is'bv
There are no poor in Alaska—of the
kihd of poverty that g rids and de
presses and saps the energy of the city
dweller and robs him of his strength,
it is true we mijs the shows and street
cars, the crowds and the clothes, the
chickens and champagne, the taxis and
teas, but out- heart is at peace with all
the world and our worries negligible, •
We a ro»sp».«Altiska, of Alaska and with
■ lackanc.—Valdez Miner.
