great IS SEATTLE
The Chicago i Northwestern is the
latest road that is reported to be head
ing for Seattle. Its directors have
asked the stockholders to increase the
capital of the road from $100,000,000 to
?200,000,000. This is taken to mean
that money is desired with which to
build to Seattle on the Pacific Coast.
If the right guess has been made as
to the destination of the Northwestern
it makes the seventh transcontinental
road already at Seattle and building
to wan.: that place. The list includes
the Northern Pacific, the Great North
ern, the Canadian Pacific, the Southern
Pacific, the Milwaukee, the Burlington
and the Northwestern, with announce
ments from others expected.
What all this means to the Queen
City of the Sound is too self-evident to
require discussion. That Seattle is
destined to cake a place within a very
short time with the cities of first rank
on the American continent can no
longer be questioned. If it shall not be
the largest city west of St. Louis. by the
time of the next census, it certainly I
will be so long before the one follow
ing. It would be rash to wager that it
will not pass St. Louis before 1920.
Prof. H. W. Elliott, of Lakewood.
Ohio, friend and confidential adviser of
the late John Hay. says the raid of
Japanese poachers on the American
seal Islands in Alaskan waters, the re
sult of which was the killing of at least
five of the little brown men and the
capture of a dozen more, was backed by
an American company at the head of
which were Senator Elkins, of West
Virginia, and D. O. Mills, the New
York capitalist and father-in-law of
Whitelaw Reid, American ambassador
to England. The name of H. H. D.
Pierce, a former assistant secretary of
state, is also connected with the corn
pany.
It is said that the street car fight in
Cleveland, as the result of which Mayor
Tom L. Johnson was arrested for con
tempt of court and afterward exoner
ated by the court, is likely to be settled
by a renewal of the compaies' charters
with stipulations that the fares must
be limited to three cents. The .franch
ises of some of the companies have ex
pired and Mayor Johnson has been re
moving their tracks from the streets
by force.
All over the District of Alaska press
and citizens are taking up the cudgels
in behalf of the road commission on ac
count of the unwarranted attack made
upon it by the late lamented so-called
democratic convention held at Juneau.
It it certain that that attack cost Gov.
Swinetord many votes. Not because he
had anything to do with It but because
his name was on a ticket which was as
sociated wiih the platform.
Fairbanks has now three daily news
papers. The Daily Miner, established
by W. Thompson, formerly of the Daw
son Sun, made its apearance last Sun
day. It Is an eight column, four page
paper. The Daily News, Fairbanks'
first papers has enlarged to a seven col
umn daily. The other paper at Fair
banks Is the Daily Times, published in
the morning.
Juneau papers are still talking about
what it is necessary for Southeastern
Alaska to do to get and Keep the good
will of the remainder of Alaska. They
had better give some attention as to
w bat Juneau should do in order to get
in touch with the remainder of South
eastern Alaska.
Union labor organizations in Chicago
are pressing John Mitchell, head of the
coal miners of the country, for the vice
presidency. They .say they will sup
port him on a ticket with William
Jennings Bryan for the presidency.
Bryan and Mitchell ? there's a celtic
ring to that which ought to make a
hit,

RAMPART A
COMING METROPOLIS
(Rampart News)
Rampart is but a small eauip, but it
is the most important point on the
American Yukon. With the develop
ment that is now goiog on in interior
Alaska this great river will not long
remain with a village of a couple of
hundred people as its most populous
center. Wherever a railroad touches
the Yukon a city will grow. And when
it once starts it will not be long in be
coming the metropolis of the interior,
such to remain for all time. This is the
logic of the situation: the laws of
geography must be obeyed.
