WHI Rogers

The tragic and untimely death OF
| Will Rogers is a national bereave-
ment which millions, young and old,
in all walks of life, feel as intense
/ ly personal to them Whether they
had actually met him or not, they
felt they knew him. They admired
them laughter.
! Americas S outstanding citizen as
! well as a genius without compare.
Because Of the many years he has
been before the public as a daily
newspaper humorist, one naturally
thinks Of him first in that capacity
in his active and crowded life.
Although his daily observations
on every conceivable subject under
the sun, from politics on up, were
written in humorous, bantering
form, those who followed him noted
that back of what he said there
was deep, straight to the core
thinking, and enlightening truth
While he was writing primarily to
amuse, he managed at the same
time to put across in this pleasant
ly sugar-coated form, sound, sub
stantial PHILOSOPHERS and facts
which could have been done in no
other way.
1t was through the talkies and
radio that his drawing voice be-
, came familiar to millions more and
| further established him as the
| country's all-around humorist, with
his plain, unaffected ways
Pack of all his f11opoaIyino how
/ ever, there was always the serious
side. In the early days Of aviation
| development, he became convinced
| become one of the leading factors
in transportation. He began using
this form OF travel, whenever pos
sible, even when he had to sit on
mail bags in open cockpit planes
and when travel was more of an or
deal than pleasure. He had trav-
eled to almost every country Oh the
globe by plane. When there was an
air mishap, he was always first to.
point out that for every person
killed by plane there were a hum
dred killed by autos. His last wish
would be that his death would not
harm the air industry.
Much that Will Rogers has writ
ten and said will be forgotten, be-
cause he was with the times, writ
ing from day to day following cur
rent history. He was not writing
for posterity, but for the living
present. He has been a wholesome
and cheerful influence. In contem-
plating the service Of Will Rogers
to the United States. the remark
of Sydney Smith, early English wit,
is to the point:
Man could direct his ways by
plain reason, and support his life
by tasteIess food, but God has Civ
en- US wit, and flavor and brightness,
and laughter to enliyen the DAYS of
mans pilgrimage and to charm his
panied steps Ger the burning
marie"
VIII Rogers is gone. His 81
crowded years We're filled with
notable accomplishment. The world
is the better for his having been
here to shed his radiant genius, but
how we wish he might have been
spared. This depression-distra
old world needs him, a fine, clean,
inspiring American gentleman.-O.

Shortage of Houses

An acute shortage of houses
exists in Wrangell. Single men are
getting along the best they can in
shacks and cabins, but men who
wish to bring their families here
are unable to do so for there is
no place for them to live.
For several years past rental
properties have been in many cases
a loss to their owners and men
with means to build have been re-
luctant to put their money into
houses which would likely stand
idle through the winter.
With the establishment of new
payrolls which are past the expert
mental stage, there is no question
that Wrangell will continue to
gain in year round residents but if
desirable families are to locate in
Wrangell it is imperative that ade-
Quate housing facilities will be
made available for them.
Construction of new rental pro-
perties would not only be a mat
ter of civic service but, we believe,
would return a fair profit on the
money invested and it is to be
hoped that some new buildings will
get under way soon.

COLONIsTs IN CLOVER
valdez Miner

All this pother by the press about
the condition of the Matanuska
cOlonists seems unwarranted. The
colonists, to our way of thinking,
are much better off than any set
of pioneers who have ever set out
to hunt for the Golden Fleece. They
have had everything furnished for
their comfort that money can buy,
and have only to be satisfied to
make the experiment a success. 1t
may be true that they are insult
ficiently housed and are suffering
minor discomforts, but just think
of the discomforts suffered by the
pioneers of Forty-nine, and later.
We believe that conditions will i'm
prove; with the clearing and drain
ing of the land the plague of mos
quitoes will be eradicated; with a
comfortable home, plenty to eat
and plenty of fuel, how can they be
in as bad condition as the men who
landed on the beach at Valdez in
1898.
There has been too much bally-
hoo about the cOlOnlStS. They nave
been led to consider themselves as
modern Jasons, embarking into the
unknown. 1t has led them to expect
too much at no cost to themselves.
They should realize that any man
must pay for what he gets, and
that he cannot escape payment. 1t
may be in scant supplies, inferior
housing, and numerous other incl
dents connected with pioneering.
When Illinois was first settled it
was fever-ridden, its settlers SUI
fered from milk-sickness, ague was
prevalent and mosquitoes swarmed
in clouds. AS the country was set
tied these things changed, until
now one cannot find a more health
full state; rich in all that tends for
happiness, with a rich reward for
the labor expended. And Minnesota
and Wisconsin were likewise in the
primary stage.
The Matanuskans are in the
main pleased with their new home.
1t would appear impossible for a
residence of a few weeks to dis
courage any real pioneer-such as

we believed these men and women
were. We are confident that if they
stick and work-like the rest of us
who are compelled to work for
what we get, they will be amply re-
warded. They cannot expect to find
conditions like those in the East,
and if they do, they are not the
right kind of material to make a
home out of a wilderness.
Rout the trouble-makers give
them ticket and a swift kick. 1t
only means they will leaven the
whole mass. Get down to the men
and women who have the pioneer
spirit.
Things are bound to come out
right-if they help them do so. No
man or woman has ever starved in
Alaska, despite the stringent laws
promulgated by the chair-warmers
in Washington. 1t has everything
necessary to give man or woman
independence. You will find kickers
in every community. Even Adam
and Eve were kicked out of Eden
because they thought God was a
poor manager.

but nowhere have we developed
facilities to prepare young men for
the equally important task of ad
ministering our valuable supply of
wild birds, animals, and fishes As
a result of this neglect and the
consequent shortage Of trained
technieians, there are only a very
few scattered spots in the country
where there are men who have the
scientific and technical qualifica-
tons necessary to enable them TO
deal with the steady decrease in our
wildlife by applying the known
principles of game restoration"

gical Survey will supply the edu-
cational institutions with techni-

but much of the value of the re-
suits has been lost because there
has been no satisfactory way to
carry the information gathered
about our birds, animals, and fishes
to the farmers and sportsmen who
could make practical use of it. Our
specialists know a lot about quail,
to take one example, that would
enable landowners to increase
greatly the numbers of these valu-
able birds, but we can't pass this
information along satisfactorily by
means of bulletins and pamphlets.

through failure to provide the last

sity in the country has such
courses. 1t will mean the salvation
of our upland game species.
Coordinate Research
ut means also that we shall at
last be able to coordinate our re-
search and experimental work.
Heretofore it has been possible that
several agencies might be studying
an identical problem-rabbits deer,
bear, beaver, or what have you, and
neglecting something else just as
important. These units under the
direction of the Bureau of Biologi-
cal Survey will do away with this
duplication of effort"

structOrs and to cooperate with the
universities and with state game
commissions in financing this new
development.
J. ~ Darling, chief of the bu-
reau, in announcing this new poll
cy, said one of the leading Ameri-
can manufacturers of arms and
ammunition has agreed to contri-
butte 100000 a year for the pur-
pose. The Biological Survey will be
able to supply $4,000. The game
commissions and universities also
will share in the expense.
The staffs of the new courses
will do research work in wild life
subjects as we'll as in teaching the
application of modern game man
agement methods. Many universe
ties now have important schools of
forestry 1t is anticipated that the
new educational service in game
management will follow similar
lines.
Commended for Generosity
Commenting on the $4,000 an

will see in this an outrageous at

dustry to buy its way into heaven,
or to camouflage its evil motives
with 100000 worth of whitewash.
AN abundance of game means
profits for the industry, of course,
but also for others: farmers, trans
portation companies, hotel keepers,
merchants, and many more. If any
one wants to devote a part of his
