GOV. al'INNES' RLT1REMEWT
Regret, because of the retirement of
Gov. W. \V. I>. Mclnnes from the corn
niissionership of the Yukon is general
in toe north ami thoroughly sincere.
He was doing a great work for his peo
ple. In fact, he has done a great work,
ami therein is some consolation. The
fruits of his IS mocths labors at arrang
ing the disordered and turbulent affairs
of the Yukon are the people's His
retirement does not destroy thjm.
When Gov. Mclnnes came North to
be the head of the \ ukon administra
tion he found the affairs or state in a
condition about as bad as it were possi
ble for anyone to conceive them to be.
Kvery where there were charges and
counter charges of corruption and
chicanery. Everybody distrusted the
government, and the government.itself,
was honeycombed with faction* each
faction distrustful of every other. Condi
tions were such that effective adminis
tration was out of the i|uestion. The
government at Ottawa was impressed
with the necessity for reforms but to
introduce them with the machinery in
the Yukon was unthinkable.
Hov. Mclnnes tuits the North with
the governm?nt running smoothly,
economically, harmoniously, in a busi
ness like niannet and posessing the confi
dence of everybody. Many of the re
forms the conditions demanded hive
been introduced and others have been
agreed upon. The people are united,
and wi;h hop>- and confidence are look
ing forward to the better days of a
Greater Yukon.
That the retiring commissioner i->
entitled to the credit for this change is
admitted by all. He came, recognizing
no faction, clujue or party though he
is a stauueh hberal . wah the sole pur
pose of restoring confidence and bring
ing about conditions that would permit
the Yukon to achieve the greatest de
velopment and the people to attain the
greatest happiness. His motto was a
'?square deal." He applied with energy
and diligence his splendid abilities to a
solution of the problems of govern
ment coming under his direction. His
charmingly frank honesty, his attrac
tive and kindly personality and his ^dis
position to be one of the people made
everv mar. and woman in ^ ukon terri
tory his willing assistant
Gov. Mclnnes has left a high standard
for the measurement of future Yukon
com iiiissioners. but he ha? blazed the
wav so thorough' v that an honest man
can find bis bearings without difficulty.

CLAIM UNEARNED CREDIT
The thick and thin supporters of Co*.
Hoggatt have ceased to defend bis
course. They are now content with
defending his motives. They say he is
righting for his convictions in a manly
way. We take issue with that.
The people of AUska. through their
regularly elected representatives,
are asking for self-government. These
representatives were chosen by over
whelming majorities. Their action in
pres>ing upon congress the importance
of the fi'-st plank of the platform upon
which they were elected has been
endorseii by the press and people of
Alaska.
Cov. Hogsatt is using his "'puir* at
Washington to prevent the people,
whose governor he is, from getting that
which they want. He takes the po
rtion that he knows better what is
good for the people than they know
themselves. In order to take this
position he has broken his plighted
word to remain neutral and has placed
those who endorsed him for appoint
ment in a false position.
There is nothing honest or manly
about such a course. Gov. Hoggatt
cannot be permitted to have unearned
credit.
The payment of the l?st of Snagway's
iniebtedness is a tribute to the effici
ency of the city administration. It is
the climax of a policy of government
carefully and wisely planued and faith
fully executed. There is probably no
city in Alaska that has got so much
from the municipal iccorporation act as
have the people of Skagway. In
addition to an able and square admin
i?tratioa of the different departments of
the city government, we have u munic
ipal water system that is giving
splendid results, we have reasonable
water and light rates, we have a good
school and excellent sanitary conditions.
All that we have has been paid for in
the coin of the realm and the rate of
taxation has never been greater than
one per cent.
Dtf PllLfA Oil
FOR THIS YEAR
Skagway's representative at West
Point, Dee Pullen, could not accept the
honor of being on the All-American
football team this year because he did
not finish the season. He did not re
cover from the accident in the Prince
ton game in time to claim the honor.
It was the knee of Dee Pullen's left
leg, that was injured when he was a
member of the Washington Varsity
team, ttbat went baik on him. The
physicians at West Point say, however,
that he will never be troubled with it
again. It was feared when he was
at Seattle that the injury w?s perman
ent. It is now said that the leg will be
as good as ever.
WUtthorie Wants Cupitnl
It is confidently believed that the
year 1907 will develop great things for
southern Yukon in the way of bring
ing this country into prominence as the
greatest quartz-mining field of the
North and incidentally increasing the
population. A> things cow look there
no valid reason why Yukon's next
Government house should not be locat
ed in Whitehorse? Whitehorse Star.
