mouth of a canyon and at the foot
of a steep mountain. Mr. Sweeney

residents located about I wo miles

CASEY IRAN TALKS HOI RULE
"Casey" Moran. one of the best
knowni Alaska newspaper men, and In
tlmately known to thousands of Se
attle people, is now in Wasiiing'on,
D. C. He is still lifting his voice for
territorial government for Alaska
and the Washington Post of February
2 quotes him as follows:
"It seems rather odd to me to hear
men in the East say that Alaska Is
not ready for self government, while
the same time we read in the mag
azines and papers of the corruption
in the East," said "Casey" Moran.
of Alaska at the Italeigh. Mr. Moran
has been a figure in every mining
amp in the North, and was identi
fied with several of the newspapers
in that territory.
"There is a difference of opinion
regarding this matter, but no man
can point out where there has been
a failure of self-government from the
time this country secured its freedom
from England,'.' he added. "It raises
the question in some minds that
there are interests behind this so
called 'good for the country' proposi
tion.
"Many explanations have been made
for the delay In giving our American
citizens that measure of government
to which they are entitled as much
.is any people in the East, whose fore
fathers left them the inheritance
gained by bloodshed.
"I will ask any one who opposes
self-government in Alaska to recall
where any territory carved ont of the
realm of Uncle Sam has abused thai
right. And I will ask rnv man who
has gained his office by the vote.-; of
the people why he refuses to grant
his fellow-citizens the same right. It
is as inconsistent to Believe he would
oppose granting Alaskans their rights
as it would be to believe he preferred
being appointed instead of elected.
"Thomas Cale was clccted on such
a platform, and Judge Wlckershan
was most pronounced in his campaign
for self-government. The question ?
arises, are the Americans up there
considered to be less important and
of less consideration than the people
gained by seizure, conquest or pur
chase?
"A man is not true to the founda
tion of the American 'government win,
enjoying a legislative right, says hi:.
fellow-Ainerican Is not ready for honi
rule. I should like to know why some
men are so anxious to withhold this 1
right and take so much interest in
'his phase of the Alaskan question." (
George Woodburn, who has boon
visiting his old home in England, left

ed back in Skagway about March 20.

SAN FRANCISCO. Mar. 1? After,
twenty rounds of fust and desperate
fighting the referee gave Harlem
Tommy Murphy the decision over
Owen Moran, the English feather
weight, at the Mission street arena
last night. The decision was unpop
ular with the crowd and caused a
storm of hisses and jeers. The spec
tators thought that Moran was ai
least entitled to a draw.
The fight was one of tiie fastest
and cleverest seen here in recent
years. Murphy fought in flashes
bu' the sturdy little Englishman, giv
ing away weight, forced matters all
the time and gave as good as he
took.
