Description
Summary:Farthest-North Subscriber. Farthest-North Subscriber If any subscriber to The Oregonian living hereabouts goes out to look for his pape this morning and finds it has not yet ar rived, some measure of irritation is pardon able—we want what we want when we want it, especially the morning paper in these days of world news and wirephotos. Bu such pardonably irritated subscriber should pause for the moment to consider the patience with which another subscriber must await delivery of this newspaper—we refer to that one whom we believe is our farthest-north subscriber, Mrs. A. T. Clements, of Candle, Alaska. Mrs. Clements lives so far north that we might say the Arctic circle runs through her front yard. If you have a good map of Alaska you will find that Candle is locate* mighty near to the northwest corner of North America, above Bering strait, on an arm of Kotzebue sound, called Good Hope bay. A fortuitous name, Candle, we call it, shedding its slender, flickering beam away up north in the land of eternal ice. The Oregonian extends its greetings to Mrs. A. T. Clements, of Candle, Alaska, and expresses its admiration for one who keeps the light burning at such a far outpost.
