Kodiak Labelled
 Fastest Growing

Kodiak is called lone of the fastest growing communities in Ilhe Northland" in an article in Ilhe Valdez weekly Miner which tsrried a full-page headline and h picture of Kodiak. Part of Ko- Iliak's history is given and a de- gription of the present town A condensation of the article fol- lows:
 Kodiak was one of the first towns settled in Alaska, after oc- cupation by the Russians. For over two hundred years the little hamlet has struggled along under various conditions until at last fortune smiled upon it and it as- sumed it's rightful place in the sun.
 When the Russians first settled on Kodiak island, they did so be- tause it was the center of the ea otter industry. Vast fortunes Gere made in the furs of these lnimals, found in great profusion round and about therocky shores md reefs.
 Baronof was then governor and reign was both oppressive and Moody. The natives were held m layery and slaughtered on slight revocation. At one time an at empt was made to send several hundred kyaks to Sitka to beused In trapping and fishing for the government, but tgreatstorm scat tered the fleet, drowning hundreds of the natives.
 Kodiak for a time prospered from the fur and fish but as time went on the markets were moved to San Francisco and to Sitka. Coal was brought from California and an extensive trade was had for some years.
 As time went on, but a trading post or two remained, the island dropping from public ken until the great eruption of Mt. Katmai, which covered the larger part of the island to a depth of many feet with ashes and pumice.
 Then came the threat of inva- sion from Asia and the govern ment casting about for a place to iOrtify found Kodiak to be just what she wanted, as the waters

Another Factory Town.
Steele and I had been a long time
on our train. We felt like veterans
and I guess we were. But We were
so anxious to get to Moscow that
we pushed the train the last 200
miles.
But for the absence Of hills, COM
ing into Moscow might have been
coming into Pittsburgh-or rather,
coming into an unfinished Pitts
burgh. Disorder end ugliness are
not, apparently, the exclusive char
acteristic of capitalist industry. At
least. the industrial sections of
Soviet Russia, where the industrial
workers and engineers are the aris-
tocrats. are no less depressing than
the unloveliness Of any fe.ctory town
the world over.

Long String Of Factories.
BY the time we were a day out
OF Moscow We were back in the
woods, broken woods with fields be-
tween. The railway was double
tracked now and along the right Of
way there was an almost continu-
Gus succession Of plants and fac
tories. We saw workers coming OF
shifts in lots of thousands, swarming
out of buildings, spreading. We saw
many women working at heavy la
Dor.
Most fascinating were the girls
who worked on the railway itself.
They did not seem to be rugged
peasant types, nor were they clothed
for their occupation. They wore
printed cotton dresses, calf-length
and not very full and they swung 10
pound sledge hammers on the spikes
at sidings.
Only the girls who worked on the
locomotives had a sense of appro-

There was no bomb damage that
we could see. We pulled up pant

one OF a score of long wooden plat
forms-like slips. Everybody began
throwing baggage out the windows.
We had arrived in Moscow-ahead
of Adolf Hitler.

 We don't believe that candidates of other political parties will come in for much consideration at the hands of the voters on January 20. A week ago, yes, but on January 90 when the war will be upon us in every shape and degree of tn- tenSity, no. It will be a test of Democrat and Republican with the ability of or ganization efforts in the several large communities counting heavily in favor of the Democratic aspirant, MT. Monagan. He hasn't the nomination, but he seems pretty sure of 1t right now.
 And all this, mind you, in the face of a world war destined to surpass in every respect that dreadful disaster of 1914-l8. The world may shake and shiver, but here in the states business goes on as usual. It's an encouraging sign of normalcy ct home.

Act Like Americans

All sorts of semi-hysterical outbreaks may be expected throughout the country as a result of our formal entry into war with the Axis powers. There have been examples down in Washington where somebody cut down some of the Japanese cherry trees along the Potomac. Out in Seattle a mob broke windows and footed stores because there were protective lights burning within them. With the war now broadened by entry of Germany and Italy as our enemies there may be other actions of this nature.
 American citizens should not give vent to any such demonstrations as these, for they add nothing to the situation and don't make anyone feel any better. We can express our attitude towards Japan, Germany, and Italy much better by ad- herring to all governmental regulations and demands made upon us. We can support the legitimate drives and cru sades. We can enlist in the campaigns to conserve various articles used in man. ufacturing or needed as foodstuffS. There are countless ways in which we can be good Americans helping to win the war.
 A display of sentiment is natural for feelings are apt to run very high at the outset of any armed conflict, what with sudden reverseS and unexpected defeats being announced. But the average man, woman, and child needs to learn re- straint more than ever today. We may need all our strength one of these days to drive from our shores relentless and merciless foe. Let's be sensible about giving way to mob hySteria. There are more sensible and effective ways of combating an enemy.

Don't Wait for Compulsion

How best to preserve liberties in war time? One of the best ways is to antici- pate what must be done, and do 1t volun- tarily, making compulsion unnecessary. For instance: we know that the rubber of Malaya will be cut off by the war. That means utmost economy with what rubber we have. Don't waste 1t; don't drive merely to ride around. Don't waste gas- oline. Don't let scrap iron lie around the house or barn unused, There will be need for every bit of 1t; in fact, shortage looms. Get 1t to the junk-man.
 Don't waste food. Don't waste any thing, The call will come soon enough for restriction, perhaps even rationing. Put it off by saving voluntarily. The American people are intelligent people, capable of cooperating without compul- Sions. Let's begin now.
