PLAIN ALASKA MINER
IS A CARELESS HERO
Steve Campbell's Record 0.
Saving People-He Says
He Cannot Help Himself

Special Seattle Correspondence;
Steve Campbell is just a p;a.n. oreiin-
airy Alaska miner. according to his own
ideas, but there are many people Who
look upon him as a real hero. Steve
has had very nice habit for scv-
cral years of always being on the spot
when things happened. What he does
ON those occasions is the reason peo-
pie call him a hero. but according 10
Steve. he just can't help 1t, 1t is so
simple and easy. Steve may be right
but the others arc right also. for
when a man Jumps overheard from a
steamship on the high seas to save a
little child. when he sticks his fist
down the throat of a big melamutc dog
that is about to make Il meal off q
fat little boy. or when he accidental
ly" falls into the bay and rescues a
young woman who is intent upon sui
eide. there is certainly something be-
sides chance in the matter and Steve
ought to be wearing a big Carnegie
medal on his broad, hairy breast.

there We're passed by congress and
state legislatures. 25.446 acts and l,567

general laws, and the whole time of
