BY, the Associated Press.
GILBRALTAR, April 14.-The Brit
ish destroyer Viscount is rushing to
the assistance Of the British steamer
Collingdale, stranded near Melilla in
the storm which is sweeping the
northern Moroccan coast
The destroyer made q vain effort to
tow the Gibraltar lifeboat to the
scene, but abandoned this because of
the tremendous seas. She left alone
for the scene after receipt of a mes
sage here last night from the Nor
wegian steamer BALTIC, which is also
stranded, saying:
Cannot you ask the navy to send
help and save 80, the crew Of the
steamer Collingdale? 1t would be a
pity to lose 80 lives thus. We will try
at dawn with our own lifeboat."

WHAT DOES ALASKA WANp?"
 By "AHN-KUTETY"

Dy 6A1lAN-1A U G
 The above question, says Mary Lee Davis in June number of Scrib- ner's was put to her recently Dy "A cabinet minister here in Wash ington."
 Mary Lee Davis gropes around considerably and covers several pages in the magazine, but fails to give much of an answer. The ques- tion and Mary Lee Davis article seem to have started sort ot con troversial ball a-rolling, and what the lady has failed to do, in 9X- plaining what Alaska wants, seems to be a bait for others to strike at.
 We have gone over What Aie~s Alaska WanL" quite thoroughly, we think. The first three or four pa ragraphs touch on bit of history relative to Seward s deal With tae Russians bearing on the sale oL Alaska to the United States. One is led to believe, by tue article, that Russia was mighty sick of Alaska and so anxious to get i'd of 1t that she just tumbled over herself .E looking for someone to relieve nCt of a weighty burden. And tI.al Seward was so bent on getting pos session, probably on a gambler s chance, that he reused deal of ire at the time and came near eX posing the details of the big dsal. Some of the inside dope" on t3" purchase of Alaska is still hidden in musty record, but it is no pal ticular secret tIrat Russia's fear oi England taking Alaska by force was the great big move toward colony reduction and, eventually, the GIFT of the territory to this country.
 Let's go rearward in years. x c were warning at the time. Dad against dad, brother against brotH- CT and clouds of battle so oppress- i've and dark that the future of the United States looked gloomy, in- deed. England was mixed up in the strife, as one of her many sidelnrs in ''She Stoops to Conquer" and was aiding the Confectionery in every in- direct way possible. Long before the Civil War, Russia and England strutted around, looking ugly out of the corners of their eyes at each other and each with chips on shoulders and aching for a SC 'ap. In fact there had been mix-up or two. However, in general fare up, Russia was afaid she'd lose Alaska. The territory was distant, difficult to cover and next to impos- sible to protect. AS the war of the rebellion. progressed dreariIy, Rus sia noticed the gIoTed hand of En- gland in the melee Promptly she assembled the flower of her navy and punched it in one big fleet in New York Harbor. OutWardly, this was an official visit of war vessels. !. Inwardly she was building up protection for herself while un- officially. saying to her old enemy: "So far and no farther" She was in hope that England would keep on putting into our affairs until a declaration of war would result, then she'd make herself a party to the .eonfict, England would be soundly tbrashed and all danger to Alaska showed high and dry in the bone yard But things didn't turn out quite as Russia planned. Eng land was too cute to be caught in this triangle of affairs.
 With the close of the Civil War there came delicate situation. England was forced to pay to the United States fifteen millions and
The Alaskan., 1927-06-24

our hours were rather uncertain and looked badly. On record we paid the seven millions for Alaska and gave Russia thanks for her timely call in New York Harbor. Much of the argument anent the undesireability of purchasing" Alaska in those days was just so much diplomatic dust.
 So the truth is that Russia wasn't tired of Alaska. She considered it of value, albeit the minerals of the land and the fish of the seas hadn't
 been looked into as of great inn portance at that time. There's real tragedy, a streak of luck and the essence of wholehearted gift in the getting of Alaska.
 WHAT DOES ALASKA WANT?
 And what does Alaska want? She doesn't want anything that is
 nt fair, and what is fair that she wants she'll get. It may be slow in coming because the country is
 big and the population small and often we view the same things from different angles and we talk as we see.
 Sure enough we have our troubles, but they aren't so ter rible when laid flat on the table
 and studied carefully. A country
 so ruthlessly exploited, as Alaska is, finds it heartbreaking task to hold enough of the wealth of it's produc- tions to build up On and make itself secure.
 And there are some things we surely don't want We don't want 1 those who vote in the States to
 come up here and run, nor attempt
 to run, our elections. We don't
 want to be dictated to by outside
 BIG BUSINESS We don't want
 salmon traps blocking our fish runs and commanding entrances to bays,
 inlets, canals, sounds and lagoons | wherein all other kinds of salmon
 catching gear are prohibited. We don't want our herring shoals de-
 stroyed, nor our young herring
 ground into fertilizer. We don't 1 want our timber to go into the
 hands of pulp and paper monopolies 1 in any speculative way, nor do we see any advantage in allowing the forests to be stripped here and the ! manufacture of paper to be carried on in the States. Since We may
 supply the raw product, why not
 have some of the payroll? We don't
 want so much of this cheap labor l importation. We don't want those ice and snow pictures so generous
 ly circulated as to give the impress
 sion that Alaska is generally ice bound, snow covered and, literally,
 frozen north. To circulate pie lures of the glaciers and snow packs of Mount Tacoma as repre- senting the all-over climatic condi- tions of the State of Washington
 would be as untrue and unfair We | don't want to be bossed by the bu-
 reau heads at Washington, D. O.,
 5000 miles away. We don't want l to be lied about by junketing po1i- ticians from the States. We can
 stand being spit On once in a while, but We don't want anything of the kind rubbed in. We don't want the treasures of our territory to be
 sneaked out and into the laps of nonresident rich folk while those who try to make homes here are | obliged to wear dungerees and eat
 clans and goose tongue greens to l live. That's that!

Big Feet Caused Dovnfan

Difficulty in obtaining a pair OF
boots large enough for his feet led
to the downfall Of Rocky Whelan,
once notorious bushranger Of Tas-
mania. Rocky worked alone and
had a nasty habit Of shooting way
farers in the back He acquired
his wardrobe by the simple process
OF taking whatever articles Of cloth
ing he needed from his victims. But
he had very large feet and was I'M
able to get "a nit IN his usual man
ner. So he went into a bootmak-
er's shop to buy pair. A con
stable who had seen him in an
other part of the country spotted
him as he entered the shop and
followed, effecting a capture just
us the outlaw was trying on pair
of boots. Whelan was executed a
few days later On the gallows.-
