Sitba Cablegram Suspends
Robinsoa Goes to Juaean
The Sitka Cablegram, during its
short life time one of Alaska's bright
est newspapers, h*s suspended publica
tion, and H. W. Kobinsjn. its editor
manager and staff will go to Juneau
where he will be associated with the
Juneau Dispatch.
The Cablegram tells the story of its
giving up the ghost ic the following j
manner:
"it is witn genuine regret mat. me
Cablegram announces it will cease pub
lication with this issue. The reason
for this action is simply that the rev
enue of the paper is not a fiir return
for the labor expended on it. For four
teen months oue man has done all the
work of the office? reporting, editing,
type setting, press work a-d job work.
To accomplish all these duties it has
been necessary to put in seventeen
hours a day seven days in the week.
Such work demands commensurate re
turns, and as they have not been forth
coming the journalistic field of Sitka is
sorrowfully and tenderly relinquished
t<^?ne Cablegram's venerable contem
porary. * * *
"The Cablegram his worked early
and laie for Sitka and is one of the
most widely copied papers in the terri
tory. It started and did most of the
work in the movement that now makes
things look as though the capital would
remain here. It hit^ made Chicagoff
almost as familiar word in Nome as it
is on Lincoln street. It has changed
the attitude of the Ala'ka press toward
Sitka from one of ridicule to one of j
respect. It now goes to the newspaper
grave yard with the complacent grin
that speak* a be iet that it has done its
be?t. Its soul goes to (take your
choice according to your residence) to
take a sett at the right hand of the
editor of the Juneau Dispatch."

ISSLfS WHICH WILL
NOT BE SACRIFICED
The Valdez News, speaking of the
coming election says the situation can
not be sized up until the candidates
have been announced and they hare de
clared themselves. There are ques
tions before the people of Alaska, one
of them self-government, which will
not be sacrificed for either local or

THIS WILL BE
BANNER YEAR
This without doubt will be the ban
ner year of Alaska and Yukon terri

estimated the combined output of Klon
dike, Tanana, Nome and smaller north

000 to $40,000.000.? Dawson News.
TANANA HAS WORID'S
RICHfST CREfK
According1 to the estimates of those
who ought to know and the h'storv of
other mining centers as uuearthe' by
the Ta^ana historians, Clearv creek in
the Tanaua district is th; richest
placer creek that has ever been dis
covered. It is richer than any of the
great gold producrrs o' California
richer th?n Alder gulch and richer
than the Klondike's FJdorado It is
predctod that it will yield more money
than has thus far been produced by
the entire Klondike coun'.ry.

TOM WORD WILL I
CONIfST ELECIIO.V
Tom Word, formerly of Skagway,
who, according Co the official returns
was defeated for re-election as sheriff
of Multnomah county, Oregon, by live
votes, has brought suit to contest the
election.
The Oregonians says:
"Henry E. McGinn and W. T.
Vauehn, attorneys for Sheriff Word, '
filed the complaint in the election con- <
lest yesterday morning. In the com- ?
plaint it is alleged that errors and ir
regularities in the count of the ballots
were made in practically every pre- '
cint In the county, and that in reality '
Word has a plurality of 495 votes over ?
3tevens. It states that the vote lor J
Word should be 9505 instead of 9255, at "
;he official returns show, and that the *
rote for Stevens should be 9010 ?j
nstead of 9260. This would give Word J
i plurality of of 495 votes. '
