FAIR SETTLEMENT
If the United States goverLment will
approve the settlement made by the
Skagway woodchoppers and Mr. Love,1
special agent of the interior depart
ment, yesterday, and accept it as a pre
cedent for future guidance it will be a
happy solution of a situation that has
become anything but desirable. The
woodchoppers and people of Skagway
should not object to paying 15 cents a
cord to the government for wood cut on
government land and the government
should be glad to secure that sum as
compensation. It is a fair price, fair to
the government and to the people.
The situation is just this way. The
people of Skagway and other towns in
Alaska must have firewood. They can
not get along without it. They cannot
comply with the alleged provision of
the law which only permits a man to
go out into the limber and cut his own
wood. The most logical and conven
ient way for them to get wood is to buy
it by the cord from those who make it
their business to cut it and deliver it to
them.
The timber that is being cut by the
Skagway wood dealers is good for noth
ing but firewood. It could never be
made into lumber. Much of it will be
useless for firewood very Ion?. It is
being destroyed by annual forest fires
and much of it that is still standing has
suffered from the ravages of former
fires and is fast losing value for any
purpose.
Under the circumstances the most
reasonable method for the settlement
of the controversy that has arisen be
tween the wood dealers and the govern
ment is for the latter to pay a fair price
for the standing timber. Fifteen cents
per cord, under all circumstances, is a
fair price. It is oerta'nly enough.
late election returns
More complete election returns re
ceived in the newspapers make little
change in the news as received by the
Daily Alaskan. They are amplified to
a certain extent.
While Tammany and its co-operating
machines elected most of the munici
pal tickets in Jsew York and the five
borroughs of that city and most of their
county tickets inf.the several counties
that mike up Greater New York that
organizat:on has lost in prestige and
offices. In fact it has lost control of the
board of aidermen and has a reduced
delegation in the sute assembly.
In Ohio the democrats made a clean
sweep, eliding the state ticket and the
legislature.
The democrats also made gains in
Massachusetts, reducing the republi
can pluralities far below those that
hare become normal siace the panic of
a decade a go. They gained several
members in the legislature.
Rhode Isknd. which as been on the
ragged edge on state issurs fur some
time, went republican by an i creased
plurality.
The republicans made gains if; New
Jersey.
The democrats carried Maryland for
everything except : he d sfranchisement i
amendment.
The republicans carried Pennsyl
vania for everything except tbes ate
treasurer and the municipal ticket in
Philadelphia.
The republicans carried Nebraska by
an increased plurality.
The democrats secured normal plu
ra ities in Virginia and Kentucky.
The republicans gained Indianap lis
from the democrats and ttie democrats
gained several cities from the republi
cans.
The decision of the secretary of the
interior to carefully edit and blue pe ?
cil the annual report of Gov. Frady be
fore giving it to '.he public is a really
charitable undertaking. It would have
been a good thing if sorue of its prede
cessors had bean similarly treated.
