MR. HA HNS INTERVIEW AND
THE WATER QUESTION
Mr. IHahn's interview yesterday in
the Daily Alaskan makes it plain thai
the city council Is not confined to one
polution of the water and light problem
which it is considering. He Indicates
thai the city could probably prouct
itself against the possibility of being
burdened with an expensive water and
light service for many years without
great cost to the taxpayers.
Il would cost, relatively speaking,
very little to increase the water supply
in the north end of the town for the
mains of the municipality. For
Instance It has been eatlmsted by Char
man MeGrath, of the water-works com
mittee, that $2, COO would connect the
elty's spring at Nineteenth avenue with
the spring at the shops from which the
supply is secured now. Others have
made ,the estimate lower than that.
This would more than double the pres
ent supply and If necessary another
reservoir could be erected to double
the storage capacity to be drawn on in
case of fire or other emergency.
With a contract t.iat would protect
the city against the possibility of a
raise in the charge for pumpiog water
for the city mains and a guarantee of a
reasonable rate for electric lights, the
otty council is Lot necessarily bound to
puichase the Northwest Light & Power
Company's business in order to put the
elty in a sale and secure position. If it
decides that the purchase of that
company's plant would be a burden to
the town and Interfere witn its ability
to maintain the schools, the lire
department and other branches jot the
city government, and prevent street
Improvement acd the fruition of pro
jected plans to gusrd against the en
croachment .of the Skagwav
river, as is contended by the
opponent* of the proposition, the whole
matter can be passed up, and the city's
interests wonld still be safe; provided,
of coarse, the railroad coirpany would
make such a contract as one would infer
from Mr. Hahn's interview that It
would.
While this plan would not mean a
completely city-owned water system, It
would be a practicable substitute for
one at a small cost. At any rate, It Is
worthy of investigation by the city
council.
In the meantime there are other
plans which have been suggested? such
as the tapping of the Skagway river,
the pumping of the city water by
hydraulio rams, etc ?which might be
Investigated

GOV. HOGG ATT AND THE ALAS
KAN PRESS
Major HarrisonJ editor o! the Alaska
Yukon Magazine, thinks the press of
Alaska is not treating Got. Hoggatt
with justice. In the last issue of his
magazine he reads Northern editors a
lecture for what it pleases him to call
their disposition "to abuse" the gov
ernor. Among other things, he savg
"Why not concede that Got. Hoggatt
it no leas honest and (air-minded now
than he was before his appointment as
governor of the aistriot of Alaska. I do
not Delleve that bis views on the sub
ject of territorial government accord
with the views of the majority of tbe
people of the district; but it will not
hurt the advocates of territorial
government, nor will it injure their
cause, to admit that Governor Hoggatt
is an honest, sincere gentleman, and
doing what he deems best for this
vaat, new and wonderfully vigorous
country."
Major Harrison has missed the point.
The newspaper of Alaska have no
objection to Gov. Hoggatt's thinking
on the question of territorial govern
ment as be pleases. The papers and
the people of Alaska are now and hive
always been resdy to admit that there
are a few people in Alaska who oppose
aeif-government for the Distriot be
cause their conscience and judgment
direct them to do so.
The objection to Got. Hoggatt is that
he has constantly misrepresented
Northern sentiment and Northern con
ditions; he has attempted to usurp the
right of regularly chosen representa
tives t > for the peipla of Alaska;
ha hw maligned the majority of the
Northern people and deceived the
President of the United States as to
their attitude. He has done all this in
spite of the fact that, before his
appointment, he promised to remain
neutral on thej territorial government
question.
The case of the people of Alaska
against Got. Hoggatt does not involve
the right of any man to think as he
pleases and to speak honestly, but it
questions the integrity of purpose of
a high official who deliberately stoops
to misrepresentation.
The denial of responsibility for the
artiole in the Wrangell Sentinel which
caused his removal by Judge Snyder,
mikes the discussion over the cause of
the decapitation more or less academ
ical; however no harm can come of it.
The Daily Alaskan, like Judge Snyder,
dots not approve of the sediments of
the article in question, but U contends
there should be no attempt on the part
of the governor or district judges to
suppress the freedom of the prew as
long as the papers keep within their
legal rights.
i n
It is Impossible to conceive'that one
whojopposes self-government for Alaska
has been a close student of English and
American history, of the growth aod de
velopment of the Common Law, or of
government in the United States under
the nitiooal aod state constitutions.
