ALASKANS BLUE US INDIGO? AIIB FOR
CAUSE
? Alaskans are as blue as Indigo."
eomes-tbe word (from Washington as
the session of congress s about to close
and nothing dona for Alaska? not a
thine, not a thing. What wonder as wa
up here cry in the wilderness for relief
and our governor spends the winter in
Washington paltering over the appoint
ment of postmasters and confusicg the
congress which was disposed to do some
thing for us? a congress which had the
earnest backing of the president in that
disposition? by opposing most o: the
things proposed by the delegate elect cd
to present the desires of the people to
that body| Alaska should send a prb
tesv to President Rossevelt against the
interference in our atTairs of his ap
pointees
Blue as indigo! Why not, indeed?
Read this as the record of the govern
or's work in Washington, in wh'ch he
glories through the columns of his own
oaper, the Juneau Record.
"It is lidicu'ous how men, claiming
to know, can solace themselves wi'h the
idea that Alaska's chief executive, Gov
ernor W. n Hoge'att, has lost his grip
on the helm of this north land. Hardly
a day passes but the press reports bring
wo d of h's work, or the results of it.
Yesterday it was writ In letters large
enough for the most oigotei and blind
territoriaiist to read, in the announce
ment that Prosecutor Ha-lan of the
Third district h d "resigned " Today
we are told that there will be no
changes in Alaska's coal laws. Last
week, * * the territorial coramitte '
* gave it as their opinion that changes
in Alaska's form of government were
not necessary, and would not be made
at the present time."
Blue as indigo? Why shouldn't they
be with aNgovernor occupying himself
in ditching the train.

The Alaskan bas a subscriber in Ala
meda, Cal. who recently chanced his
address. The postmaster at Alameda
advised the Alaskan so long ago that
we have forgotten, asking that the
paper be sc. t to the new address, and
this was at once done and so stands on
the books. By todays m>il boat com ?
three pontal card* and a letter from the
postmaster at Alameda repeating the
request that the addres* be changed.
The notices were marked in their order,
second, third and fourth, and finally n
special written letter asking us to
PLEASE change this address. All of
which serves as a first clas, testimonial
to the villainous nature of this same
postal service- that three notices dated
loag intervals apart should yrlve in
the same mail pouch.
The enik of the strike of the coal
miners, the returning to work of an
army of loO.OOO men is a moH encourjg
ing incident of the time and that it was
a compl.shed without rioting or olood
shed, shows how a thing can be done
that way when there is a disposition to
do it so. However, the f*ct that the
differences were adjusted to the satis
faction of to m?ny interests only after
tfce losses attendant upoa weeks of
idltnesson the part of the men an<l
mines indicate large rcom for improve
ment still. It would teem that coo
he dson both sides would have arrived
at thesa same conclusions before a
strike was declared.
It isn't likely, iu spite of the wide
and severe criticism that the action of
Governor Brady subjectfd himself :o in
lending his name to the Irresponsible
ItoynoJda' enterprise, that anybody in
Alaska has any feeling save regret and
-? sympathy now for the old man. The
threat of arrest which hangs over him
is not pleating to Alaskans. Brady
was the victim in this affair? the
General Grant to Reynolds' Ward.
He was tbo fool in finano :o the
others'* knave. What there was cotn
iocr to Brady for his folly he has al
ready. Let it go at that, whatever
may be handed R ynolds
The further wo go in the gxploraron
of Ahska't resources the more entirely
convinced are we that there Is no othrr
country to compare with it In she miU
ter of minerals Tho geological survey
recently issued a circular saying thit
the coal fields about Bering lake, back
of Katalla, were the best on tho const
and the most extensive. Now th"> same
authority follows this with the state
ment that the coal at Knik Arm, in the
Matanuska valley, are the best on the
coast.

Truth and
Quality
appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor
ingly, it is not chimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of Senna is tho only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a Laxative, and its component
parts arc known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objcction
ahlo substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine ?
manufactuivd by tho California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
gists.
