lK?n't Ret an idea into your head
that you are being abused. There
are altogether too many groaners
in the world now for you to add to
the walling chorus This- is an ob
servation based upon the assump
tion that possibly you think you
have a grievance Tiiere are migh
ty few ^ U grievances In tbe world.
In fact not any unless one conjure*
them up In the imagination ilke the
ghost of Banquo.
There is no need for alarm over
the outcome of the Alaska territor
ial election Some apprehension
has been felt prior to all elections
held In the northermost territory,
but when the votee were counted
we hAve found the home ruler* al
ways in the majority. They'll take
no chance* now with frame-ups and
combinations, which are liable to
endanger the application of prin
ciples which have been secured
through years of constant endeavor.
The chance Is again with us to
show that Skagway is alive. The
Alaaka railroad commission Is on It*
way hw They will probably not
stay long enough for us to give
th?>m much of a time, but common
courtesy require* that the commer
cial club extend them the hospital
ity of the city, and to otfer them
all the information we poiufse to
enable them to form correct Judge
ments regarding the railroad needs
of this part of the district. We may
be able to convince them of some
things that will be of benefit to
Skagway as well as to the commis
sion.

he is right he ha* the courage to go

Dear voter. Just take a heart to
heart talk with yourself. If a "Non
Partisan" senator Is elected from
Skagway who will control him?
Why, the men who ribbed up the

ation. Who were they? Ask of
yourself Ask the cause of all this
sudden friendship which has sur
reptitiously sprung up between hos

Seward is making a vigorous cam
paign for a decent railway service.
The cltlsens of the town on Resur
rection bay have decided to again
send their representative to con
gress this winter to lobby in the In
terest of opening the coal lands ad
| jacent to Seward and to ask con
gress to construct a railroad from
the Pacific to the Yukon with its
southern terminus on Resurrection
bay The criminal neglect of Alas
ka has never bren more disgrace
fully shown than in that part of
the Seward resolution which reads:
"There is urgent need for the con
struction of a railroad that will ope
up the rich agricultural valleys of
the interior, and that will enable
the coal of Alaska to be mined and
transported to markets
"We are now forced to buy coal
imported from British Columbia
and Japan at exorbitant rate*, name
ly 117 60 i?er ton at Seward, when
we are within ISO miles of bitumin
ous and anthracite coal of the
highest quality which, if we were al
lowed to mine, could be sold here
at a price not to exceed $5.00 or
$?? Ot per ton
"We demand the immediate open
ing of the coal lands of Alaska to
entry on a leasing -*?yalt.v basis,
with due protection to those who
have already located coal claims
honestly and according to law."
The Cordova A linn cornea back
at some of the newspapers which
have tv-en gloating over the wash
out on the Copper River road, and
advtaee them to be a little more
charitable in their criticism of the
mishaps jf the communities. Mis
fortunes have happened to so
many of t ie communities of Alaska
that I' war -ely "behooves any of
us to speak (11 of the rest of us "
Here is the article by the Alaskan:
"It is a nutter of considerable re
gret that la some of the Alaskan
towns, notably Valdet and Juneau,
the newspapers seem to take pride
tn referring to the recent slldee and
washouts on the Copper River and
Northwestern railroad, and to put
forth exaggerate and misleading
statements. While some of them
may he made without malice, and
the reference to consequent quiet
ness and "stag-iatlou" at Cordova,
may be in a factions vein, yet the
tendency la to depreciate this sec
tion of the territory, and to Beam
ingly crow over the misfortune of
a people who are as hopeful, in
dustrious. enterprising and loyal h*
any to be found tn other sections of
Alaska. As we are a people prac
tically all In the same boat, with
the hand of fate clutching and
stifling development, prosper! t) and
happlneec. It behooves the people
of this nor* ti Uad to rather com
misserate one section with the oth
er. not knowing the hour when
some new calamity or affliction may
fall to the lot of our neighbors. Let
each town fight with all its might
and strength for those things that
It may believe it is entitled to. hut
in so doing It is not necessary to
depreciate or mallgta the efforts,
advantages or possessions of our
neighbors.

extent at possible and the mail has
been carried by packing it around
the washouts. While much incon
venience and loss of business has
naturally followed, the people of
Cordova have maintained a credit
able patience, and are not, as a
Junaau contemporary stales, be
yond "resuscitation." We are very
much alive. And now that the rail
road, in two or three days, will bo

tire roadbed, between Cordova and
Kennecott, and on schedule time,
we shall cxpect our really well In
tontioned contemporaries to give as
much publicity to that fact as they
have to the tie-up. The Dally Alas
kan will take great pleasure in wir

expect the true Alaskan spirit to
prevail and that Justice will be ac

With all the northern towns It
should be "one for all. all for one,"
whenever our Interests are menaced
or misfortune befalls us."
