SE ATTLE, ALASKA AND THE
P.-l.
Not Ion? ago the Daily Alaskan said
that there is one object that might be
attained by the convention which has
been called to meet at Seattle, Novem
ber 15, that would not result from a
similar convention if held in Alaska.
It said it might teach certain pre
tended representatives of Alaska resid
ing at Seattle that they have, as a mat
ter of fact, been misrepresenting this
district and that Alaskans resent their
pretensions. Commenting upon this
the Seattle Post- Intelligencer says:
"The Skagway Alaskan takes the oc
casion of a convention of Alaska people
being called to meet in Seattle to vent
some of the spite which it seems to
hold against this city It bitterly op
posed the holding of such a convention
in the first place: I ut since the ma'.ter
has been decided by the people of Alas
ka in opposition to its views, it gives
the proposal a reluctant approval, be
cause. as it says, it will teach the peo
ple of Seattle a lesson.
"Sitting down in one little corner of
Southeastern Alaska, concerned with
nothing save its i>etty local interests
and having less real knowledge of the
great district of Alaska than has been
acquired through actual residence in
various parts of the district by thous
ands of Seattle res.dents. this petty
sheet undertakes to speak for all Alas
ka, and gibes at the people of Seattle
because they have interested them
selves profoundly, in season and out of
season, to advance the interests of all
parts of Alaska. It casts gratuitous
slurs at the Washington delegation, be
cause that delegation has felt in duty
bound to support auy legislation de
manded by the people of Alaska as
strenuously and as whole-heartedly as
though that legislation were asked on
behalf of the state of Washington.
''Possibly it is the Skagway AlasKan
which may have something to learn
when the convention is held. It will
learn that the people of Alaska resent
its peculiar attitude and its attempt to
represent them as snarlingly contempt
uous of all assistance tendered toward
procuring for them the legislation
which they may ask, or toward advanc
ing their interests otherwise.
"If the editor of the Alaskan has in
telligence enough to read and honesty i
enough to tell the truth, he must admit
that the Post-Intelligejcer has cham
pioned the cause of self-government for
Alaska for years before the editor of
the Alaskan ever set foot jn the
district: that it has for years demanded
that a full territorial government be
created for the district, and that by its
articles on this subject it has enlisted
in support of that proposal some of the
strongest newspapers in the United
States as well as some of the most influ
ential members of congress.

"What tne particular grie vance ui
this little newspaper may be does not
appear. It possibly has something to
do with a future to procure some petty
federal office. Its snarls and wines will
cot have any effect toward weakening
in the slightest degree the friendship
which Seattle feels toward Alaska, nor
toward checking the warmth with
which the people of Seattle will cham
pion every Interest of the great north
ern district."
The slurring ref^ recce to what it
pleases the Post-Intelligencer to desig
nate as the insignificance of Skagway
in particular and southeastern Alaska
generally, the inference tba', the editor
of the Daily Alaskan is too ignorait to
read an 1 not sufficiently honest to ar
rive at and admit an honest conclusion
and that he has a grievance because cf
some imaginary political slight is un.
worthy of consideration save as a reUi
culous exhibition of unseemly anger,
the occasional display of which in some
newspapers has given a sort of color
to the buffoonery certain comic writers
have indulged in at the expense of the
newspaper making profession.
The statement that the Post-Intelli
gencer championed the cause of self
government for Alaska before the editor
of the Daily Alaskan ever set foot in
the district is interesting only as
showing a reckless disregard for
fact. The Daily Alaskan begun
the fight for self-government
for Alaska when the present
editor was given the direction of the
paper's policy, in October, 1899. The
Post-Intelligencer took up the cause In
1902. It is true it has been a strong
factor in the contest for Alaskan rights
since that time, and the Daily Alaskan
has time after time given it unbounded
praise for its course. It has reproduced
every editorial the Seattle paper has
given the subject which has not escaped
its notice.
The people of Alaska did not decide
to hold I he convention in Seattle over
the bitter opposition of the Dally
Alaskan. The Nome chamber of com
merce called the convention for Seattle
in spite of the advice to the contray of
the press of Nome, of Fairbanks and of
southeastern Alaska, and that of
many of the chambers of commerce and
city councils in various parts of Alaska.
The Daily Alaskan did not oppose hold
ing the convention in Seattle because of
any feeling against that town, but like
every paper in the district) save one,
it contended that inasmuch as the pur
pose for the convention is to secure for
Alaskans a recognition of Alaska as
a political division of the nation It
should be held Alaskan soil.
But this has nothing to do with the
point made by the Daily Alaskan that
the people of Alaska have not been
thruthfully represented before congress
and the nation by Seattle people and
the Washington congressional delega
tion. The people of this district have
made use of every opportunity they
have had to ask for self-government.
In 1900 both the republican and demo
cratic conventions demanded it. Four
years later both repeated the demand.
A non-partizan convention held at
Juneau two years ago adopted an ad
dress to congress asking for it. At the
request of an Alaskan delegation, repre
senting southeastern Alaska, Valdez,
Norue and the Yukon valley, the Trans
tuississippi Congress, holding at Seattle
in 1903, passed resolutions favoring it.
The press of the district have urged it.
The Post Intellingencer, itself, re
cognizes tbe demand and. as it says,
has reinforced it.
In spite of all this there has never
been one word favoring territorial
government for Alaska uttered in con
gress by a Washington member of the
senate of the house of representatives.
The Seattle chamber of commerce, in
the face of the sound advice of the
Post-Intellingencer, voted down a
resolution favoring self-government for
this district, and if any Alaska com
mittee or other delegation of Seattle
citizens nas ever asked a member of
congress to grant Alaskans the right to
manage their own affairs that fact has
bean kept out of the press of that city.
While the Post-Intelligencer has been
urging territorial government for Alas
ka in its editorial columns its news
oolumns have been filled with accounts
of how others in its city have been
asking for a delegate in congress,
for appropriations for one thing
and another and for this amendment to
the code and for that. We have asked
for bread, they have been begging
stones for us.
While the people of Alaska, who are
fighting for the reeo^nition of rights to
which their American citizenship en
titles them, are receiving the aid of
senatars and congressmen none of them
hail from Seattle or Washington.
While their demands have been sup
ported by the Post-Intelligencer they
get little or no assistance from the Se
attle commercial bodies and other or
ganizations of that city. The Daily
Alaskan contends that a convention
held in Seattle might serve to open the
eyes of those down there It might
leach them that the Post-Intelligencer
has been truiy representative of Alas
ka rather than have those "self-ap
pointed representatives" of which the
Daily Alaskan complained.

Mr. Bugbee's Intention
[Original]
Iu the smoking room of an Incoming
ocoau liner two you us lueu formed au
acquaintance, the one S. Augustus Bug
bee, as his card read, the other Eu
gene Kenton. Bugbee was an Eng
lishman who evidently expected to see
wild animals running iu the streets
of the principal cities in America, lie
informed Kenton that one of his fa
ther's brothers had emigrated to the
United States, had got rich and was
expecting a visit from his nephew.
Kenton gathered from XI r. Bugbee's
remarks that he was going to America
to unite the two branches of the fam
ily by marrying his cousin, Xllss An
nette Medbury. A further Inference
was that the Englishman regarded his
part In the matter .1 sacrifice which
was only to be atoned for by the fact
thi'.t the young lady was the sole heir
of a wealthy man. Bugbee's plan was
to visit some Interesting points in the
new world, then Join his uncle's fam
ily in the mountains, naming J. as the
plnce of meeting, whereupon Kenton
remarked that his mother usually went
to the same place, that he would be
there with her and might have the
pleasure of meeting the young lady.
A week later Miss Medbury and
Mr. Kenton were Introduced In the
pailor of the hotel In the mountains.
Kenton refrained from mentioning hav
ing met her cousin.
Miss Medbury proved a very agree
able companion. Kenton looked upon
her as an engaged young lady wlui was
permitting him to be companionable to
fill the time before the arrival of Mr.
Bugbee. lie put off mentioning his
having met the gentleman till at last It
occurred to him that he would appear
as having played a somewhat undesira
ble role in keeping his knowledge se
cret. Meanwhile Miss Medbury -bow
ed unmistakable signs of au especial
preference for Kenton's sjcK t.v. One
evening while they were sitting In a
cozy corner of the hotel they began
that skirmishing which usually comes
between an Intimacy and outspoken
love.
"You go next week?" said Miss Med
bury, looking down at a flower with
which she was toying. "You will be
much missed here."
"Perhaps," replied Kenton, "some
one will come along to supply the place
I have taken, so far as you are con
cerued."
"I expect no one who can Gil tin
place you have flllt d."
"Possibly some day we shall meet
again. It may be in the mountains, at
the seashore, or perhaps you may he
married and living abroad."
She looked up at him out of the cor
ner of her eye. "Why do you say
that?"
"It has occurred to me that you
would grace some old English home
where your position would be better
defined than here. With us the promi
nence given to blood has died out.
There It Is still a feature."
"When It Is united with money."
"Yes."
"You tmnk, tuen, tnai it wouiu oe
nice for im; to marry some impoverish
ed gentleman in England i\ml take bis
rank. I might marry Into my own fam
ily there. You know my father came
from England."
"Indeed."'
"Yes, and what you propose has been
suggested. A cousin of mine is now
traveling In America, and I expect him
to Join us here neit week."
Kenton did not like the situation.
In the first place, to think of the girl
taking his advice, marrying her cousin
and going where he would never see
her again was horrible tj him; In the
second pluce, when the lady should
'sarn that he had met Mr. Bugbee and
had said nothing to her about the meet
ing she would give him the cold shoul
der.
"Have you ever seen him?" he asked.
"No."
"Miss Medbury." said Kenton, "I
have a confession to make." And he
told her that he had met her cousin.
"I can understand your pdsltlou per
fectly," she said. "Now tell me all
about him."
Kenton was greatly relieved and re
solved not to place himself In a similar
position again. lie gave a description
of Mr. Bugbee that had he heard it
must have delighted that gentleman.
Miss Medbury listened till he had fin
ished.
"I wish," she said, "to ask you a
question to which I expect a reply on
your sacred honor. Do you think my
cousin a man of whom I would be
proud V j
"That Is not a question for me to de
cide." i
"I consider you a friend," she con
tinue;! after a brief silence. "Now,
tell lue, would you like to see me mar
ried to the gentleman you met on the
steameri"
"I would not."
"Why?"
"I should not like to see you married
to any one."
"What! Would you have me remain
an old maid?"
"No."
"It seems to me you have placed me
on the horns of a dilemma? I am not
to marry or remain an old maid."
"I did not finish my nnswer to one
of your questions. I would have you
marry no one except myself."
Miss Medbury burst out laughing.
Kenton looked rueful.
"Mr. Kenton," she said, laying a
hand on his arm soothingly, "my
cousin wrote of Ills meeting with you
and said you would be here this sum
mer. He spoke of you very unkindly,
tt the same time prejudicing me
against him in other respects."
When the cousin appeared he found
the lady engaged. HAROLD OTIS.
