EDITORIAL PAGE
The Seattle Post-lntelllgencer, a
few day* ago. printed a column
article by it* special writer, K H
Gilbert, which for carele-** and M
tMi\por*nivn* ignorance place* hot I
the paper snd the author in a clas>
ridicuk?u*h unique The subj?r
was about wireless telegraph in ireti
era! and it* application to Alaska
Here are a few of the statement*;
"l> in the far-flung reaches of
the North; up in Alasica. the long
Arctic nigh; i* again settling down
Navigation is closing, and already
the last wfnnf cutter is hurrying
southward to escape the icy clutch
es of the floes The last mail steam
<t from the states has arrived and
depart M. carrying tho> final words
of hope and cheer from hardy Al
askans who disdain to 'winter' in
the softer clime of the southward;
carrying also a few hardy Alaskans
who propose to enjoy the flesh pot*
of a more southern land rather than
tndure the loneliness and rigors of
an Arctic winter Those who re
main behind are preparing for the
five or six months isolation before
the first venturesome steamer will
poke her nose cautiously through
the masses of floating i.e nest
spring, carrying many bags of mail
to their ice-locked harbors; news
that is good, bad, and indifferent,
yet for all that, it will be n?ws.
Imagine having to wait seven
months before you learned who won
at the presidential polls this fall!
"Yet two years ago such condition
existed. Now, all is changed.
"Now. while a million telegraph
sounders are clicking off the news
all over ike Tnion, the people in
Alaska ?ill also be getting their
election returns On the evening of
November 5, in far-off Dawson.
Nome. Circle City and Kaltag. thous
ands of miles from civilisation as
w<- know it. swarthy Aleuts and Si
washes will rub elbows with beard
ed miners and 'mushers' for the
curiosity of seeing, for the first
time the returns of a presidential
t lection "
? ?????
"This wonderful ch.?nge has been
brought about by the dreams of
such men as Marconi. Fessenden
and IV Fores* In other words, the
hydroirraphic office's chart of Alas
ka shows doiens of small red cir
cles, and a foot-note informs you
that these are wireless telegraph
stations, or ratio stations, as they
are now called.
"The returns will be flasheJ over
the land-wires to the powerful navy
station at .Mare Island. Cal ; Mare
Islai d will hurl the Hertzian waves
nortiward for two thousand miles to
the station on I'nalca island, far out
in the Aleutian chain; I'nalga will
fling the inessap* broadcast to the
stations at Nome. Cordova. St
Michael*. Sitka. Dutch Harbor, St
Paul's. St George's and Kodiak."
? ?????
"it is not unreasonable to sup
pose that within a year or two, a
situation like the following may
?rise The president, at Washing
ton. desires to communicate with
the governor of Alaska upon some
subject, a subject too immediate and
too imperative to allow the delay
occasioned by the long route of the
mail. He writes out a message.
This message is entrusted to the
radio operator at Arlington, who
immediately starts his high-powered
apparatus workthg. shooting the
ether waves far out across hill, dale
and valley The message finished,
he waiu a few moments, then, faint
yet clear tomes an answering spark,
over the high ranges of the Rockies,
the cold, dreary wastes of Yukon
and Athabasco "
Tkink of the joys of receiving
wireless returns at "far off Daw
son" which is not in Alaska at all,
but which has had daily telegraphic
?ervice for fourteen years, during
which time it has published a daily
newspaper in many respects super
ior to the Seattle brand
Then at Sitka, which this bril
liant writer quotes, there never was
a closed season and the telegraph
is ft daily thing and has been for
year* and years, with by- weekly
mail* from Seattle all winter and
almost dally mail service in summer
At "far off" Nome there la, and
has Iwn published dally papers for
ten years containing the world's
daily telegraphic news.
At Ragle a telegraph line has
Jwvn operated for years and has on
ly lately been supplanted hy the
wireless
All of the points mentioned in
the writer's hysterical article are
supplied from once a week to once
a month with mail, and have been
for the past ten to fifteen years.
Rut perhaps the most ridiculous
of all his absurd utterances, is
where he prophesies that the Presi
dent at Washington may hereafter
be able to communicate with the
governor of Alaska by wireless. For
twenty-five years mail boats from
the Sound have beeu coming into
Juneau, where the governor lives,
every week and sometimes a half
dozen timet a week, with mail from
the states. For fourteen years
there have been from one to three
daily newspapers published there
with daily telegraphic service, con
taining all the news of the world,
yet this educator dreams of a time
when the ' long dark night" will be
enlightened with the sayings of such
stupendous authors as he.
It would be just as absurd to say
that the "lon^ dark night" has kept
Duluth, St Paul, Winnipeg or Mont
real without mail servicc or news
for seven long months, as to apply
the ignorant misstatement to Alaska
