This is one of the outstanding wonders o± the world, a thing primeval, getting down to the very genesis of the earth and explaining largely why all Westward Alaska is even today a land of profound changes wiith a coast line constantly altering and islands rising up only to sink again. Strange indeed it is, that the great natural pheno menum has been passed up by tourist boomeis who generally are willing to sell the paper off the wall if they can get a crowd to come and see it. Steamship routes have a great deal to do with it beyond that no one has had the courage to provide the trails and hotel accomodations that the modern tourist demands. But the thing must inevitably come. Westward Alaska has a beauty and lure all its own. The long arm of the peninsula has the greatest collection of active volcanoes on all the earth, according to the very good word of Dr. Jaggers who has studied them all/ This is another time when we wish the promoter would enter the land. The proposition requires capi tal and much publicity but its dollars to doughnuts that proper financing and exploitaton of the scenic wonders of Westward Alaska will bring ample re turns. Steamship lines will perforce change their rout ings or new lines will go into service and thousands of globe trotters who claim that they have seen the world will get a new thrill. One consolation is that the uplifters will not enjoy heaven very much with nobody to uplift. ALL ARE WRITERS NOW It is the simplest thing in the world to win fame as a writer nowadays—provided you have won fame in some other way first. The newspapers and magazines bristle with articles by this or that celebrity, and it be gins to look as though famous folks are going to monop olize the printed page, to the exclusion of professional writers. But there’s a catch in it. In most cases the famous folks do not write the articles. They merely give a reg ular writer an outline of what they wish to say, and he does the rest. Literary .efforts by proxy appear to be quite renumerative, however, particularly if they run to testimonials endorsing cigarettes as have been appear ing recently in the Gateway, a fair sample of those be ing published throughout the country. Job had great patience, no doubt, but he was never interested in seeing a Muscle Shoals bill passed. Late reports say Mexico still has a living ex-presi dent, but we don’t guarantee this news. Lunatics publish a paper at; an asylum in Humber stone, England.
