HOW ABOUT THE GIRL?

There is one day in Alaska which stands pre-eminent and above all others. Christmas and Fourth of July included. It is the day of all days tor the young bachelors and young men of the Alaskan cities. For weeks before this anniversary arrives there is hunting of clean neckwear, polishing of shoes, brushing up of stetsons and a gen. eral sartorial overhauling. The young bachelors primp and the old' ones get out their recipes for hair dye, or hunt up their toupees which have been discarded since the last glacier. gale. Long before the boat whistles the marriageable men may be seen nervously stamping about with tight boots and shiny shirt bosoms. Half of the men flock to the wharf because they are yitally interested in meeting their fate and the other half SO to exult in their general wretchedness. As the boat rounds into the wharf there is a general strengthening Of backs and adjusting of nugget pins and neck ties. The new teachers have gar rived from the States" Next year the prosram is repeated. Godb less Minerva or some other diety of learning for the annual thrills she gievs u<.-Valdez Miner.

CAN YOU BEAT IT?

We learned from reIiaole source that two of the slackers who returned their citizenship parers re- gently, have been given positions "s watchmeu in in some canneries, not such q long distance from ketcni- I;an either. These slackers are provided with position for the win ter at the best going wages and practically nothing to do. Can you beat it?
 These men proved themselves slackers because they favor our coun' try's enemy; yet they are given positions of trust that none but gexuire Americans should hold. we are tempted to say that the com pany or companies. employing them are enemies of our country also.
 If this is to be permitted to go on. how can We expect to De free from slackers? Instead of shunuing them and treating them with contempt, We are encouraging them bv giving them the best en- ployment. Can you beat it?
 Conclusively, this is against all rules of consistency if not decency, and the federal authorities should see that no enemies of our country are given positions of trust nor posr tions that loyal Americans can fill'- Ketchikan Progressive Miner.
