RABID RAILROADING
'i he Alaska railway builder must be
a man who ia not only fitted to wield
U,? shovel and sledgohammer-he must
be ? warrior, ? crack .hot with a re
volver or a rifle, ftnd, ftbove ?H, be
must be ever on the ftlert to hold his
own against a foe just m keen as he.
Thftt foe is another railroad builder
who Is seeking to cross hi? line or oc
cupy the same pass that he has claimed
for his own.
There has been real warfare, there in
Alaska, and the men on both sides have
been Americans. They h.ve battled as
If the cause to them were liberty or
death; yet both were the hired em
ployes of contending companies. They
have fought just aa bravely and just as
determinedly as, perhaps, their fa
thers fought In the war between the
South and North, or with just as much
grit as ther themselves, it might be,
displayed In hunting Agulnaldo In the
wilds of a Philippine jungle.
It Is strange that tn Alaska, with all
lu thousands, even hundreds of thou
sands of square miles, It should be nec
essary for rival Interests to shed blood
over possession of a few feet of ground
over which to run a train, both sides
being equally enxlous to prosecute their
work with the same object In ylew. the
development of the country's r tehee.
Yet every little while down comes
** word from the North that battle be
tween rival railway companlts has
taken place, and th.t men have been
wourded and even killed.
Perhaps there lb no other place in the
world where white men have been at
open warfare in the last few months as
In the vicinity of Catalla or Valdez.
First it w? at Catalla th?t a fight took
place, when the Guggenheim railway
sought to build a track across a rival,
line starting to penetrite the interior.
Then, followed, much more recently, a
battle in a pass back of Valdez, the
contending forces being the Guggen
heim* and the Alaska Home railway.
That dispute over territory has been
settled now by the United States Gov
ernment, which will ar*w both inter
ests to lay their rails between the
mountain heights.
In these baltles shots flew thick and
fast, and then men stood guard over
their ground through night and day, to
preveut the enemy from advancing
upon the coveted territory. They
hunted each other through the swamps
and forests many days before peace wa?
declared. ? Seattle Times.
The above melodramatic condition of
railroad ouildlng existed? In the mind
of the Times writer? and no where
else. The men engaged in the broil at
Valdez were King street, Seattle, \+
borers, who came to Valdez to work,
were filled up with wildcat whisky and
told to defend with their lives a wildcat
railroad venture, a maudlin riot
resulted.
TRYING TO SAVE MATT
Friend* of Thomas Cale, delegate
from Alaska to Congress, declare that
they will ask the Juneau Republican
convention next month to avoid an;
direct reference to Gov. W. B. Hoggatt,
who was badly beaten in the Alaska
primaries. The convention will make
a strong endorsement of Cale and will
declare outright for territorial govern
ment, two things that reflect a dissat
isfaction with Gov. Hoggatt's political
course, and the Cale advisers think that
Is enough.
Cale has an overwhelming majority
in the Juneau convention and among
his friends there are scores eager to
make an outright criticism of the Alas
ka governor. It may requlrt consider
able hard work and much political
fine??e to prevent the convention from
expressing its disapproval open)y, but
Calo'a closest friends think the more
expedient plan to be to ignore Hoggatt
I*rsonally.
It is claimed the results of the Re
publican primaries settle Hoggatt's
standing with the party in Alaska and
must be interpreted literally. Tbat
means Alaska Is on record for all time
la favor of territorial government and
official reports to the contrary will be
diacounted bv the showing of the pri
maries. The question was presented
squarely enough by both Cale and Hog
galt, so that there is no real chance to
read another interpretation of the con
7satlon remits.
Cale will undoubtedly be endorsed.
Then be will be elected to head the
Republican delegation to the national
convention next year and will subse
quently be choeen as Republican nation
al committeeman. The convention wi i
be strong for the present national ad
ministration, but just bow this will
be expressed in resolutions is uncer
tain.
The prominence to be given Cale in
the Alaska convention may shape his
future political course. His was an
Independent election for the first term,
but it is questioned by Alaska polltl
tlolans whether he will be able to
accept a second Independent-nomination
in view of his prominence as Republi
can committeeman. If be accepts a
party nomination, strong pressure will
be brought to bear upon the Demo
crats to endorse him and such a result
might be brought ahout.? Seattle
Times.
As well might the friends of Thomas
Cale try to ride down the wind as to
prevent a resolution of condemnation
of Governor Hoggatt passing the Ju
neau convention. For too long has the
practice prevailed of hrving Governor
Hoggatt all but out and then allowing
him a breathing spell In which to re
gain himself. The trouble has been
heretofore that nothing has been
known at Washington about the Alas
ka Governor's despotism. The proper
thing for Delegate Cale to do Is to at
tend to his own knitting and allow
Alaska delegates to fight out their
grievances with Alaaka's betrayer, to
figbt it out quickly and forever.
THEY ARE DETERMINED
The enraged citizens of British Co
lumbia do not Intend to cease their pro
testation against the Invasion of Orien
tal labor with the outbreak recently at
Vancouver. Neither are they adopting
the humble attitude with apologies and
pleas to the Dominion government.
Ratber are they organizkg for a per
sistent and extensive campaign against
the Orientals, ft is now announced
that a moniter petition signed by hun
dreds of British Columbians is on its
way to the premier, Sir Wilfrid Lau
rier, praying that regardless of foreign
countries and all sentimental and polit
ical considerations, the government im
mediately pass legislation to insure ab
solute exclusion of Orientals fiom tbe
Dominion of Canada. The matter is,
of course, rather a delicate and difficult
one for the Dominion and British gov
ernmtnt to handle. The Hindus are
British subjects, and the Japanese are
all but Invited over by the close alli
ance between Japan and Enlgand, But
ultimately Canada will have to proUct
herself from the Invading hordes from
Japan or be literally overrun by the
"little brown men" held in such aver
sion as competitors in the labor field.
If official action Is taken it should be
promptly, befort. the in-rushing thou
sands have gained a foothold from
which they cannot be dislodged.
AUTUMN
The thin gold of the sun lies slanting
on the hill;
In the sorrowful (frays and muffled vio
lets of the old orchard
A group of girls quietly gathering ap
ples.
Through the mingled gloom and green
they scarcely speak at all,
And their broken voices rise anil fall
unutterably sad.
There are no birds and the golden rod
is gone.
And a child calls out, far away, across
the autumn twilight;
And the sad gray of the dusk grows
slowly deeper,
And the old world seems old.

WITH THE EXCHANGES
The rank and tile of voters love the
President for the enemies he has made.
The latter has of late been lavishing no
inooaslderable portion of their ficklefa

will continue doing so is altogether
likely, unless they are ? given a distaste
for him by some of the friends who are
now speaking up so pertly, in his be
half.? Ketchikan Miner.

In nearly every case where women and

but not one but Newbro's Herplclde tells
you that dandruff Is the result of a germ
burrowing into the scalp, and that per

had by killing the germ; and there Is nc
