■ ‘COVER* MW &Y HEARSAY’’ ;
One of the q*osl instructive and'
interesting addresses ^eliyered
the Third International Mining Con
tention M> Pof,tl£thd wa# *ha* &
falcon Josiin, t&e well-known Al
aska pioneef opprajtoy, wfr° caught
the fancy of bi$ agdiencve when he
jgaid that the Territory hod hitherto
been governed by “hearsay’ and
that it is time some other method
be adopted. Under the distressing
conditions imposed upon the Terri
tory in the past eight years, popu
lation has greased to an alarm
ing extent, at least according to
government statistics. Those ska*
tistios do not contain the informa
tion, howw«. that tba eensus is
iapieatty taken at a time of the
year when a great part of the sum
mer population ip sojourning “out
side” and when thousands engaged
in the great halting industry have
returned to ports in the United
States.
Mr Josiin pointed out that Alas
ka now "enjoys” government own
ership of telegraph lines, railreads,
fuF seals and coal mines, with the
natural result that all these indus
tries are practically dead. The
penurious and oppressive policies
adopted to regulate the coal and
oil industries h ive been nothing
short of disgraceful. It is time in
deed that Alaska’s blinders were
removed and full opportunity given
to development of her great resour
ces upon broad, liberal lines such
as contributed so vastly to the de
velopment of western states in
early days. Paternalism, or, as
Mr. Josiin puts it, “government by
hearsay, has brought paralysis and
made an industrial graveyard of
one of the richest countries on
earth. Hearsay government might
not be so disastrous where heariag
was acute, but in this instance no
wave of sound has filtered through
to dull government intellect, which
hae substituted idle, impractical
theories for common sense.—
Northwest Mining Truth,
Someone is apt to be killed by
hard drink in this neck of the
woods some time, but not io the
good old summer time, no, not in
the summer. In the winter, how
euer, one «f the big icioles whioh
form on the cliffs along the Hyder
Stewart road may fall and knock
someone on the head. That sort of
hard irink would kill a 1 orse.
