It is the essential falseh)od that lies at the root of Alaska's troubles and the generally absurd attitude of the East toward the struggling territory. With Alaska it is not different. Ia our na- tional history there has been no acqui- sition that,has wanted or needed capital more than this last of the frontier em- pires. Alaska is at the mercy of capital to this extent that it's development Is impossible without capital.

 To look at certain small, dark, knee- sprung, partially bald mau who with a sort of speghetti expression, was around town several days previous to Tuesday, when hundreds of travellers got away for the foot of the lake, the average person would not think that he was probably the most extensively travelled of any of the several hundred people who have been in our midst lately. The gentleman referred to is Victor Emmanual Maccaroni, known from Peru to Point Barrow as "'rhe Dago Kid" and while he does not look it, he is vastly travelled personality. For some time past the Stroller labored un- der the impression that the Dago Kid had completed but twelve annual round trips to this country, walking over the railroad from Skagway and travelling over the entire length of the mighty Yukon as steamer funky, but he kindly put the Stroller right by stating that he completed his 18th annual voyage of the Broad White North last season and is now on his 14th. He likewise inc formed the Stroller that, since passing through here on the way out last fall. he visited his ancestral estate near Rome, also Berlin, Hamburg, Porter house, Hashouse and various other European and Syrupean points of in- terest. While touring Europe he stopped at many of the leading hotels, where he played engagements in the "Shine Elm Up" departments. It was away back in the "Soapy" Smith days of Skagway that the Stroller first met the "Dago Kid" and the look of deep concern he wore then, prompted, no doubt, by worry as to from whence the next meal would come, is still worn transversely across the Kids map. Some time the Stroller will publish a history of the Dago Kids life. The per- petration will be entitled, "The Dago Kid by Himself" Whltehorse Star,
