DOCTOR HIck WRITES OF THE
SIGHTS AND THINGS IN ALASKA

April 4th.-This town of Killisnow
is on a small island. There are no
streets, you walk around amoung the
houses, which are placed a few feet
apart but at any angle from each
other, mostly inhabited by Indians
There were a dozen squaws down on
the wharf selling bead work and
moccasins.
This is the town for herring All
these canneries and fishery buildings
are flimsy big structures of boards.
This morning We stopped at a wharf
called Hawk Inlet We all go off the
steamer and take in the places on
these occasions. A man from one Of
these wharf buildings hailed me-and
! saw for a few moments Mr. Howard
OF the Delta telephone office. He
looked as well, and happy as ever The
| scenery is very fine. High snow COW
cred mountains on each side of the
channel and beautiful tree covered is
lands every where.
II is as though one went on steam
er through Colorado on a waterway
from quarter to twenty miles wide
Some of the little cannery towns, we
make. are in coves out of sight of the
regular steamboat path. This morn
ing we stopped for four hours at a
little sheltered cove. The tide was
low and warm and everybody enjoyed
the beach and sunshine.
We have been out over five days
and not yet half way. It begins to
feel as If ] were really getting long
way from nome My mail goes by
boat to Seward, then to Anchorage by
train and then the company's mail
tug brings it over the inlet-S0 miles
every two weeks.
We have found that the ice has
not yet gone out of Cooks inlet. poss-
ibly We may be landed at Seldovia for
a week or two, when we reach there
about Sunday. waiting for the break
up. However. this is the one time I
am not in a hurry. neither do care
how often or how long the steamer
stops, for Kenai will be more pleasant
in June.
Early Tuesday morning we struck
the outside ocean. put in a very sad
day, and feeling discouraged and far
from home. retired at s p. m. and
stayed in bed util the next noon.
when We reached smooth water again
in Prince William Sound.
We reached Cordovq about 4s0 and
stayed about three quarters of an
hour. The high mountains were GOV.
cred with snow and sleds were being
used about town r7n-
On Thursday We passed a part OF
the coast lined with high mountain
range and n glacier for evey noun
tain. The porpoises, fish about
three or four feet long followed the
boat. often for n mile or more. They
| swim near the surface and jump out
Of the ater every few rods. We saw
two whales today. From 25 to 100
sea gulls follow the boat all the time.
As an excursion, at this time of the
year this trip is a failure, but 1t will
be as beautiful trip as could be
taken, l think, in the summer time.
It will be about June before summer
begins.

Speaking generally, discoveries in the field
OF science and invention have come to be con-
sidered as worthy of respectful attention. They
have to show results before they honored,
but they encounter less skepticism and derision
| nowadays and can usually get help to develop
/ their novel ideas. Conservatism which ridi-
cu]ed as lunacy whatever it did not understand
has had it's folly proved to it so often that it is
coming to have an open mind. But aside from
the field of science the world is still derslve
1 and intolerant as ever of anything advanced as
new or enlarged conception Of truth. Its pro-
I ponents can longer be penallzed-a fact
which gives some people acute distress-but
| thew can be denounced, DETAINED and ostracized;
I and they usually are. Of course lnnovators or
\ reforners do not always have the truth they
think they have claim to have Many of them
nre deceivers or are self-deceived But the fact
! remains that every new truth Or new conception
of the truth which has come In time to be ac-
/: ceDted. has at the outset been rejected with
.S;erce and hateful contempt. There is no known
ass~Aception in human history to this rule.
AS has been noted scientific discoveries are
an apparent exception to it; bat science, strict
ly speaking does not pretend to ennnncate new
truths. It's concern is simply to find how GER
tain laws of nature work here in materlahty and
/. ways of working with them to take advantage
of them. Science has no explanation to offer
why such laws are or how they came to exist.
It gives no reason for anything but merely OBJ
serves that under certain conditions certain
*things act in certain ways This is not truth but
sincerely obserV ations on phenomena; and the
-AKantian dictum still stands unchallenged, I'M
confuted, that science knows nothing about

INV s Ing IN WILDCATS.

Worthless stock amounting to more than
quarter OF a billion dollars is the annual oler-
ing OF the wildcat motion picture companies OF
the country to the American public.
This is the estimate of the vi glance commit
tee of the national association OF the motion
picture industry after preliminary survey OF
three and half months. The committee has
investigated some seventy companies with
total capitalization of about one hundred and
eighty million dollars. It believes that when
all the new companies Of this character, launch
cd during the past year counted, 1t Will be
found that their total capitalization will reach
fully two hundred and fifty million dollars.
The committee declares that the people OF
this country have actually bought during the
past year between twenty-five million dollars
and fifty million dollars of stock issues, none
of which are worth the paper on which the Ger
tifcates are printed.
Most Of the money invested in wildcat COM
panies has gone out of the pockets OF small
tradesmen, clerks, stenographers and other
wage-earners. Government employees In Wash
ington are declared to have bought consider
able stock in one company floated in that city.
Persons in heightened circumstances, credit
ing the extravagant reports OF stock statesmen
as to the great fortunes made IN the moves,
have exchanged their Liberty DOnuS 1of InoVle
stock certificates which will never pay cent
of dividend.
Only two or three of the seventy companies
investigated had any assets or proven earning
capacity when their stock was offered to the
public. Only about half dozen could boast
officers or promoters who had any real expert
ence in any branch OF the motion picture IN
dustry.
The committee s investigation disclosed some
interesting methods Of finance, and some pitt
able stories of individuals who had put their
trust in the tales told by the promoters OF mo-
tion picture companies.
| It is stated that these wildcat companies
have sold millions of dollars worth OF stock
through the mails. Whether the promoters are
guilty Of violation Of the postal laws rests for
determination with the postofice authorities.
