" ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION MAKERS ()P \l ASKA A refresl tang of other days permeates Ju- neau; of times when men went out into the hills after gold, carrying often a meager grubstake but alive with hope and exuberant with an undaunted sou!l that knew no such thing as defeat. It comes like the habringer of spring with the annual arrival of John “Two Step Jake" Hirsh of Tenakee Inlet At 84 the blood of life courses through the veins of Two Step Jake with the same zest for living full, up to the hilt A rough gray shirt and flowing whiskers this grand old individualist an undying spirit; potent cour- age that can not be quenched either by age or change. Two Step Jake ates in glowing colors a real picture of the men who made Alaska; men who knew no turning back, but always carried forward; men who | some day will be given the credit they deserve for | starting the Territory on the road to Statehood. Their efforts have been stayed in recent years by change! in thought and the swing toward but Just as it swung against them the as it did 50 years ago. hides in a virile, en a conservation pendulum must go the other way. It is the record of history. And in| those days of genuine individualist advancement the| message and courage left by the early pioneers will again dominate the Alaska picture in its strides forward to its rightful heritage. | How many of us at 84 would still be looking shead to another bonanza? But that's what Jake| Hirsh is doing. He sees prospects for placer devel- opment in his region as well as hard rock mining This trip in town he is promoting the idea of a port-| age between Tenakee Inlet and Port Frederick distance of about 200 feet, so that transportation by water from his district would be as accessible to Hoonah as to Tenakee. It is absolutely necessary if the district is to go ahead as it should, the old pioneer believes, and he furnishes strong argument to offi- clals in behalf of his contention. Regardless of Ihr‘ merit of such a program, consider the undimmed vigor of a man in his eighties battling ever for a greater Alaska. There is no haze in the mind of a man who can rattle off the names of those of another day, Swift-| water Bill, Tom Kale, the Territory's first Delegate, Pack Train Brooks, M. J. Heeney, Powerful Joe, the Malamute Kid, Dr. DeSoto, Lucky Swede Anderson, Falcoln Joslyn and a score of others as readily as a youngster recites his multiplication tables. But Two Step Jake doesn't stop there. He goes on to tell you of the men he considers among the “Makers of Alas-! ka.” He names General Richardson, Frank Roberts, Ed Carmichael, Stiast, Gov. John W. Troy, Ed Griffin, Secrets of Alaska, Judge James Wicker- sham, George Parks, Frank Boyle, B. D. Stewart, Dan Sutherland, Harry Watson, Engineer Hawkins, who was with Heeney on the White Pass and Yukon, Louie Lane, Bill Sherman, Skookum Jim, and others until your pencil wears down to the wood. He tells you of those who played such a big a Jack = pioneer clergy role in the early history of the Territory; of Bishop Rowe, Father Jetty, Father Kashevaroff, Father Monroe, Father Duncan and Fathers Van Hicks and Rossi at Holy Cross. And of the medical men who attended those courageous pioneers: Whiting, Dawes, Brockman, Beeson, Smith, DeSoto, Council and Romig. | And Jake adds further romantic flavor by xmmmg six feet tall and weighed only around a hundred pounds, the: Swedish Crook and.an army of others A full 50 years Jake Hirsh has been a glamorous part of Alaska and its history.

Theodore Roosevelt suffered a sec- ond heart attack and upon the ad- vice of his physicians was rushed o the hospital where an x-ray was taken. This revealed the fact that the muscles around the heart were strined. The doctors claimed that the condition of Mr. Roosevelt, while erious, was not at all alarming.
