The Alaska sourdough., 1911-10-24

having to do with the Alaskan govern
ment and even of persons not in public
life, present condition that calls for
condemnation and requires that the pub
ic be warned Of the decentralization that
has been produced by the hysterical sus
picions of good people and the unscrup-
ulous and corrupt Misrepresentation of
the wicked. The helpless state to which
the credulity of some and the malevo-
lent scandal mongering of others have
brought the people of Alaska in their
struggle for it's development ought to
give the public pause, for until juster
and fairer view be taken, investment in
Alaska, which is necessary to it's de-
velopment5 will be impossible, and hon
est administrators and legislators will
be embarrassed in the advocacy and put
ting into operation of those policies in
regard to the territory which are nee
essary to it's progress and prosperity

Formerly there was much mvs-

or less than a morbid secretion
due to a disease of the liver of the
sperm whale. The whales which
yield ambergris are invariably sick

In ancient times this substance
was known as "amber," a name also
applied subsequently to the fossil
gum now commonly so called. In
order to distinguish between the
two one was called amber girls

When Squirrels Wsr. Numerous.

Accounts of early writer's show
that squirrels must formerly have
been amazingly numerous. God
man says that the gray coats we're a
fearful scourge to colonial farmers
and that Pennsylvania paid fs, 900
IN bounties for their scalps in 1749
alone. This meant the destruction
of 100000 within a comparatively
small district. In the early days of
western settlement regular hunts
were organized by the inhabitants,
who would range the woods in two
companies from morning till night,
yying as to which band should
bring home the greatest number of
trophies. The quantities thus killed
are almost incredible now.
