WHAT MAY HAPPEN
Scene I ? Juneau. Date. Oct. 15,
1910. A'uiliu appointive Council In
session. Member from New York,
(formerly Tom Piatt's stable boy)
speaking:
"Gentlemen: I am deeply Inter
ested In the heroic and hardy pioneers
who left home and friends and Molly
and the baby to come up here to this
land of ice and snow and cold, and
who by their sturdy, honest and cap
able toil have opened in Alaska such
rich districts as the Klondike and
built in Alaska such beautiful cities
as Dawson and Juneau." (Applause
from Rhode Island member, former
butJer in the Aldrich chateau.) "I
have been In Alaska nearly a week,
and after thoroughly considering the
needs, hopes, desires and best inter
ests of the heroic heroes who built
these mountains and opened the way
for the brains of we eastern states
men to guide and direct. I have arriv
ed at the conclusion that what Alaska
needs Is a pickle factory." (Sensa
tion.) "1 find that the proportion
of the rutabaga has been neglected.
My God! gentlemen, can we stand
idly by with our hands in our pockets
for a moment, when congress has
directed us to put them in the pock
ets of the sturdy, hardy, heroic miner
and fisherman whom our smiling pres
ident loves so well? We cannot.
What will Payne think of us. and
Depew and Joseph Cannon? (Tears
from tbe West Virginia member, erts

Alaska member ? "May I ask the
Gentleman a question?" (Consterna
tion among eastern members.)
"So sir! It's against the rules of
the house which Joseph Cannon so
considerately framed for our govern
ment This ignorance of the Alaska
member is so appalling that I must
ask for an immediate adjournment.
The clerk from Maine, assisted by the
assistant clerk from Vermont will
draw warrants for $7,500 payable to
each of the eastern members and $25
to the ignoramuses from Alaska for
this day's work in the interest of the
sturdy and heroic pioneers. ? Ketchi
kan Miner.
WE ARE GETTING CIVILIZED
Statistics from the departments at
Washington. D. C.. continue to deny
Representative Hitchcock's assertion
that Alaska will never be settled by
Americans.
A few days ago we cited the third
assistant postmaster general's report
as completely refuting the Nebrus
fcan's charges In that document was
shown the large list of daily, weekly
and monthly newspapers and maga
zine* published in the territory ? more
dallies than the state of Delaware.
Now comes the report of the col
lector of Internal revenue ? clinching
the proof of the march of civilization
and enlightenment toward the land of
the midnight sun. It speaks the last
word.
The collector reports 319 retail li
quor dealers, eight wholesale liquor
dealers, six breweries, five retailers
In malt liquors, 12 wholesalers In malt
liquors and one retailer in oleomarger
Jne.
Not a hootch factory on the list!
Oleo but no rectifier's license! Civ

Judge Henderson, governor of the Yu
kon. Gov. Henderson came out from
Dawson several months ago. and for

did not know how strong It was, but
decided that he would not go north
