SURFMAN ASHTON

There is probably no publishing house in all the world that turns out so much dreary, unread reading mat ter as the government printing office at Washington. It is pleasant to re- cord that these Saharas of the printed page are not without occasional oases that make one forget the hot sands one has crossed in reaching them
 Such an oasis is to be found in the annual report of the United States coast guard for the period ending June 30, 1919. Sandwiched in between routine paragraphs is brief but stir ring account of the exploits of Surf man L. E. Ashton and what he did for the relief of influenza victims in Alaska. On December 6, 1918, Ashton loaded a dog sledge with medicines and supplies, and with one other man set out from his station at Nome to bring aid and comfort to the sick and dying at Cape Prince of Wales, 160 miles distant, and at small settle Ments on the way. After treating the sick at eight villages through which he passed he arrived after a weeks jour Fey at Cape Prince of Wales, where he found 122 natives sick and 157 dead. In nearly every cabin the living and dead lay side by side.
 Surfman Ashton took command. He converted the school house into a hospital and the postoffice into dis pensary, and swiftly built up an or ganization by means of which he was able to care for all the sick. He stayed sn the job for ten to twelve weeks and did not leave it till the dead were buried and the epidemic was at an end.
 The restrained language of the of feial report no more than hints at the extraordinary pluck, resource and staying powers that Ashton displayed; j; but one may read between the lines and perceive there the heroism with out which the performance of his task would have been impossible.
 :, Though part of the navy in war time, the coast guard has a fine body of tradition peculiarly it's own. As long as it continues to build up it's ranks with the stuff that Surfman Ash ton is made of it's fame will not lose it's old-time luster.-Saturday Evening Post.

TERRITORIAL NOTES

Articles of incorporation of the Alaska Publishing Company were filed with the secretary of the territory re- gently. The articles name c. E. Her ron, J. w. Ward and o. P. Hubbard as incorporators, who, with B. D. Pat terson and Willard c. Heron of Ju- neau, form the first board of directors. The capital stock will be $75,000, di- vided into 750 shares of the par value of $100 each, the articles say. The company will be chartered to carry on a general newspaper and printing business.
 The Alaska Industrial Union started the year with clean sheet and has no strikes of any kind on it's hands at the present time, Secretary Reed says. All disputes which existed between the Alaska Labor Union and employ CTS ceased to be when the Alaska h. dustrial Union was formed, MT. Reid stated, and members of the union are men at the Hickman dock, where the open shop system has been in force for several months. s.-Ketchikan Chron- icle.

He has never shown any desire to manipulate or job in personal politics. He is a splendid type of citizen-just the sort of type that should be put on guard in the in- terest of the public. He would never betray Alaska or trail the ensign of those whom he represented. He ought to be elected.-Juneau Empire.

 The aviators are now planning to travel in the air from New York to Nome Many nice trips are being taken by the aviators this winter into Alaska, via the hot stove route. Many Alaskans have never yet seen flying machine, and if one doesn't visit here pretty soon they will begin to think that there aint no sich anemile. .''- Douglas News.

He is a good business man, a developer and builder. He is on the sauare-a good citizen and good Alaskan.

dreds OF thousands OF these people are

America won the admiration and

order have not been restored. These
people are still helpless. Their land
has again been the battle-ground of

maintain independence have partially
tailed owing to the superior force or
their neighbors.
