UN INTERESTING INTERVIEW
And a little comment thereon in the
nature of a heart to heart talk
with the Gorernov
la the interesting interview given
out by Governor Hoggatt just before
he s'arted to Washington, printea in
the Alaskan of last evening, the gover
nor says that "every American citizen
wants home rule," but he reiterates
that he is opposed to a territorial form
of government for Alaska. It would be
interesting to know just what kind of
home rule the governor would favor for
Alaska. The mitter has been up for
discussion for a long time now and no
one has ever heard the governor say
what he favors as a substitute for the
form that is not home rule. The ter
ritorial form is the form that wu
supplied to all the western, thioly pop
ulated districts in their formative
periods; it was supp ied by the national
government out of it) wisdom; it has
been put to the test of many years
active operation and all the vast west
ern territory has graduated into state
hood through it. It was applied to
Oregon and Washington while yet they
were further away from Washington
than we sre and wnile the number ol
folk* that lived there was much less
than Is the cue here. Wherein is the
difference, governor? Perhaps the
people of Alaska are not equal to the
task of ruling their home as were the
men of Oregon. Is that it? The peo
ple of Alaska think they can do it. But
It is hardly fair to say we cannot have
territorial government without telling
what we msy h*ve in its stead? seeing
that It Is granted we SHOULD have
some form of home rule. President
Roosevelt thinks we are all right and
could manege the business if we were
fflven a chance. What have you to
yropossgovernor?? wears all up In the
air about it. Some one baa said that if
we had home rule those burly corpo
| ration would take charge of things and
not let us have our own way. Is that
i
what Is troubling you governor? Well,
perhaps you may not have heard It,
but the ugly gossips are saying much
the same thing even now. You might
have gussed it from the questions put
to ?-ou by the man in Seattle about
those riots at Valdez. You told him
that you had "secured the prosecution
of one faction promptly and shall
endeavor to secure the prosecution of
the other in due time."
Now don't you see, governor, what a
question that plain statement
rals-jd? What is DUE time.
PROMPTLY for one " and DUE
TIME for another ? and only an en
deavor at that, does not sound good to
every body who reads that. If the cor
porations are to be distinguished one
from another In this way the people
would preftr to make the distinction
than to allow anyone man among them?
even if the one man for the time being
chances to be governor? to do so. It
don't look right to US, governor
Then again you say the convention at
i Juneau was not a representative one.
i Wherein ? The delegates were every
one elected by their constituents? why
were they not representative ? You
i say you could have easily controled the
convention if you had been so disposed,
i If so, what you say about it not being
' representative is true, but the state
i ment is very serlonsly questioned.
You were over at Valdez
the day of the election of the repre
sentatives from that district and in
i your presence the so-called antl-Hog
gatt ticket was elected. It don't look
to us as though you could have con
i troled a convention like that.
And then the mere making of su :h a
statement, governor, uncalled for, un
provoked In any way. a gratuitous In*
suit to the members of the convention?
my, my, but that was raw. The Alas
kan will glvo you its opinion on that
remark, whloh Is to the eftect that It
was not a politician that made it, nor
yet a statesman, born or manufactured,
but just merely an officc holder; an of
fice holder that Is just a little? shall we
say a little ?? rattled.
Ia the matter of your stay in Wash*
ington, governor, looking after the
lighthouses and things, whether your
presenoe down there avails anything or
not (and we have our opinions about
that) don't hurry, enjoy yourself, take
your t'me, we will be able to manage
vtry well In the interval.
WIRELESS FOR ALASKA
In view of the success attained at
almost the first call of the man at the
box It Is a little interesting to refer
back to the time, only a little more
than a year ago, when the newspapers
at Fairbanka were clamoring for the
establishment by the government of a
wireless system in Alaska to maet
the constant Interruption of the tele
graph system in the Interior. At thm
time General Oreely, then In command
of the signal service, declared it could
not be done; that the wireless would
not work overland; that the tree
covered mountains was an absolute
preventative of successful working of
the system. The Fairbanks News In
sisted that this was nol. a fact and hnd
at that lime been disproved by exper
iments then recorded, and called upon
the government to give the thing an
earnest tria1 ; to send someone in there
who woutf seek the way to find means
TO DO rather than to NOT do the
thiog. This was done last summer and
the result Is SUCCKSS.
The value of this result will be Ines
timable throughout the interior, where
the long stretches of wire through the
woods is subject to constant interrup
tion, with the resultant interruption of
business. With the demonstrated suc
cess of the experiments between Circle
and Fairbanks, the most difficult con
nection to he made in the district, the
Installation of the complete system
throughout the district will follow as
quickly, no doubt, as the thing oan be
done.
The defeat of "Joney" Fltz In
Boston and the election of the Republi
can candldato for mayor is another
indication that the people are not only
realizing a higher tone of morality in
political life but making the the effort
to live it. "Honey" Fitz was a delight
as a companion for a "night oat" and a
man of tremendlous energies in the
accomplishing of his personal ends, but
as a chief executive of one of the lead
ing [cities of the land and the one city
more "than another that sots itself up
as a stamlaed in Amorica, he is a mis
fit.
Everything, happily, looks toward
speedy return of good times? that is to
?ay, the return of the script that i
flooding the country to the places
whence It came? for, so far as any of uj
have noted, the good tlmos naturalto uas
has never been inttrrupted.

According to recent reports from the
Circle district;, Deadwood croek is
fast becoming one of the busiest places '
in Alaska. Tbe renewed activity on 1
ibc creek U due to tbe fact that tome J
enterprising miner, not being satisfied (
that the old bedrock was anything but
a false one, went to work sinking, and
after passing through a hard clay for
a few feet encountered bedrock proper.
On 17 above, Billey Leake's old claim, j
which was supposed to oe worked out
as long ago as 1806, Mclntyre and Gus
Chisholm have just w.shed up dust to
the value of $750 from an area of
12x12. The new pay body is a far
richer one than was the old. Leake
is said to have made several for
tunes out of his property in the curly
days.
Tbe gold is of ? dirty clayey appear
ance and is very coarse.
J. C. Connell, latest ar. ival in Nome
from the Innoko, states that although
there are many things for the miners
to contend with In the new country,
such as shortage of water on the bench
es and too much In the c eek, a large
amount of work is in progress and the
Innoko may develop some good proper
ties.
