MOUTt COMMENDATION
The fltst mail from the outside to
reach Nome since the close of navi
gation wis delivered io 49 days from
the time it left Seattle- 19 days better
than the previous best record. At a
mark of it* appreciation the Nome
chamber of commerce at once sent a
telegram of congratulation* to Major
Kiehardson. president of tbe Alaska
road commission, and to the secretary
of war, in which the good record was
very appropriately credited to the road
commission.
Two things are noteworthy about
this incident. The tirst snd molt im
portant is that the road commission is
making good. It is getting practical
results for the money, time and energy
it has devoteo :o the work it has in
band. It is giving Alaska the only re
turns the district ever bad for the
thousand* and hundreds of thousands.in
excess of tbe cost of government in this
territory, that have been taxed out of
the people for the benefit of the
federal government.
The second interesting pbase is the
?.houghtfulness of the Nome chamber of
commerce in doing common mstice to
men who are doing their duty and
doiug it well. When a board or a com
mission oi- a public officer of any kind
bus a duty to perform and the perform
ance is well and honorable those who
vuaae the assignment of thedatyaod tbe
public should have their attention
focused for a time at leeat upon the
performers. While we are searching
with muck rakes and big sticks for
frau j. corruption and those who would
subvert republican principles
..*:jms interest of the "iotereaet," it
were well that we keep our eyes open
that we do not overlook the many that
are making good. We should not for
get to reward the faithful whiie excor
iating the faithless.
With good grace and all sincerity the
people of every section of Alaska will
join with the Nome chamber of com
merce in extending congratulations to
Major Richardson, Capt. Pilhbury and
Lieut. Orchard. All of us are their
debtors.

TKYIWO TO LIE OUT
That the Record -.Miner is determined
to win iis discussion on the question of
self-government sgainst the Daily
Alsskan in the minds of that portions of
iia reader* who do not read this paper
:i certain. It will win it by saying that
this paper has said what it has not Mid
and by say in; .that it has sot
?aid what it ha*. For In
stance, it says the Daily Alaskan haa
not shown a single practical benefit the
people of Alaska coold gain from self
government that would b? recompense
for what it calls tht "unbearable ex
pense" of such a government.
The truth is the Daily Alaskan has
shown that there would be no addition
al 'expense'' on aocount of self-govern
ment. The people are now paying for
tnor* than they get. If we had self
government we would [get what we pay
for. It is up to the torles to point out
what expense the territory would be to
under self-government that they are not
under at the preseai time Do chat,
olease, you gentlemen who have been
rolling the words "burdensome ex
penses" under your tongue*, before you
go further. Also, while you are doing
it, explain, pltace, how it is that :<S00
poor immigrants failed to Sod a terri
torial government burdensome in Wash
mgton territory V Again, how about
the 4,000 marketlass farmer* who
organized the Dakota* into a territory ?
Be fair and truthful for a little while.
Do not attempt to win always by false
hoods.
The Record-Miner will mace no at
tempt to meat thi* demand. Mark this
statement !
In 10 year* Canada'* bank deposits
have increased from fl85, 000,008 to
W07, 000,000. That is going some.
Those figure* tell a story of almor. it
not quite iraparalled prosperity.
