ARC lit WINTER GRIPS NORTH
One of coldest waves in history of country settles
down-Terrible wind and drifting snow adds to dis
agreeable features, stopping- White Pass trains.
The Arctic weather which has held
the whole Northland in its frigid grasp
for the last week has made a record.
Not for a half dozen years ha*e we had
weather so severe as tint which now
obtains along the Yukon tnis early in
the winter season. At 8 o'clock this
morning it had reached 70 degrees be
low zero at Yukon Crossing-, half way
to Dawson. At Lower Labarge the
thermometer was frozen. AtWhitehorse
100 miles away, the temperature was
56 below zeio. It wss 22 degrees below
ziro at White Pass and 17 below at
Glacier. At Skagway it was two below.
[" The severe cold ia not the only dis
agreeable feature with northern
weather, but the worst storm that has
prevailed on the Summit and between
there and Bennett in seven years is
raging. The snow is packed up in
great drifts wh:ch move along the line
of the railroad in giant white waves.
So severe was the weather for the 2?
miles between the White Pass summit
and Bennett that do trains were sent
out from Skatfway or Whitehorae today
and the old rotary is resting quietly in
its berth at the shops. Not a wheel
has turned on the White Pass road to
day.
RIDGWAV'S fOR HOME RULE
FOR ALASKA
I Famous Weekly Paper Explains G-ov. Hoe
gatt's Opposition But Expresses Sur
prise at Roosevelt's Attitude
j Ridgway's the weekly publication ?
j that the publishers of ''Everybody" ,
I maintains in 14 American cities, favors '
self-government in Alaska. Recently '
it commented favorably upon the Daily
| Alaskan's position in the matter, j
| More recently it expressed surprise at
the attitude of President Roosevelt's
position on the question, and gave an '
explanation of Gov. Hoggatt's position.
The latest article, here referred to,
fo'lows:
"President Roosevelt is in opposition
to the creation of a territorial govern
ment for Alaska. T i'.s is the position
which has been taken by Gov. Hoggatt,
of Alaska, who Is Mr. Roosevelt's ap
pointee, and io whose judgment the
president has great ccfidenct. Gov.
Hoggatt is a man of the highest per
sonal qualifications and in manv res
pects admirably qualified for the duties
of the position which he is filling. He;
has one serious handicap, which is ed- ,
ucailonal. Governor Hoggatt is a '
graduate of the United States naval
academy and his connection terminated
only with the olose of the Spauish war,
when he resigned his commission to
take up mining. The midshipmen at
Annapolis are caught young and their !
! character* are largely formed by their'
education in that institution and their'
subsequent training in tbe navy, It)
is perhaps needless to say that
the government of the naval academy
and of the navy is not democratic
io form or in principle. Questions
are cot submitted to the personnel and !
determined by the majority. Not by !
considerable, and then some. All the j
power is Id the hands of the very small j
minority, who exercise it properly and ;
keep a perfect supervNon over the I
somewha* unruly majority.
"Government of Aiaska from Wash
ton city naturally appeals to ? man of
Governor Hoggatt's education acd i
training- It is the most natural thing |
in the world that this should be the case,
and it is no reflection upon bim that it '
is ?o. It is the result of training and j
early environments.
"The sing-alar thing it that a man as!
democratic in instinct as Mr. Roose
velt should be unable to detect the fat- 1
lacy of the assumption that the Amer-j
ican citizens inhabiting Alaska are in- 1
C3pable of such self-government as is I
freely accorded to the mixed bloods of
Porto Rico, the Kanakas of Hawaii and
which it is proposed to give to the
Malays of the Philippines. Unques
tionably if Governor Hoggatt's views
could be obtained, be would think that
aerious mistake was made in all these
latter instances, and that all of the de
pendencies should receive their orders
from the quarterdeck. But President
Roosevelt does not take this view
n regf.rd to Porto Rico, Hawaii and
the Philippines. Why should he do
so when the matter concerns
his own countrymen who do not need
to be educated into the re
sponsibilities and duties of a self-gov
erning people?"

not yet received
their 1907 Calen
dars can do so
