SKATiNG ON THIN ICE
In reporting a meeting held in
Ketchikan on the night of Oct. 19
by Senator Dan A. Sutherland
the Ketchikan Chronicle says:
“He (Mr. Sutherland) de
clared that the law was not
being inforced properly In the
first division, and openly charg
ed that deputy marshals had
been guilty of selling liquor in
competition with bootleggers.,,
Is M». Sutherland in earnest
about this, or has he been misquot
ed? If quoted correctly, enough
has been said in this one short sen
tence to defeat his political aspira
tions in Alaska.
Mr. Sutherland is asking the peo
})le of Alaska to elevate him to
their highest elective office; yet, (if
correctly quoted,) he here brings
charges of a criminal nature against
officers of the law from a public
platform instead of in the courts.
If he has such evidence in his
possession is he showing the mnC
of good citizenship by wltholdiug
it?
The Gr^nd Jury has been in ses
sion for some time. Why has Mr.
Sutherland not laid his evidence
before it?
There are eleven deputy mar
shals in the first division. The re
mark quoted above throws suspi
cion npon every one of them.
Is it fair to the innocent for Mr.
Sutherland to shield the guilty by
witholding their names?
On August 17 the twenty-fourth
anniversary of the discover of gold
on the Klondike was celtin..'fd at
L’nv. 3 uniitr the auspices of the
Yukon Order of Pioneers. The oc
casion was rendered remarkable by
the fact that it coincided with the
arrival of four aeroplanes on their
flight from New York to Nome.
After all, there are things more
wonderful than finding gold, even
in quandty equal to a king's ran
som, says Mining and Sii ■ i'-c
Press. In 1890, when the .qui
ntan, George Carmack, stumbled
upon the alluvial gold of Bonanza
creek, the automebile was just com
ing into use. Flying ceased to be
an eccentricity thirteen years Inter.
What a difference aviation would
have made to the Klondike rush of
1898! Undoubtedly if the discov
ery of rich gold plaeers were to be
announced today from any r > note
or inaccessible corner of the earth,
there would be none of the painful
ly laborious pilgrimage of former
times, such as that which broke the
heart and health of bu idreds of
