H. W. M. Rolaton haa acquired
Martin Smith s interest in the rort
land Canal News, published in Stew
art, and is laying his plans to con
siderably improve what has always
been a bright, newsy publication.
Editor RoUton has absolute confi
dence in the future of the Salmon
and Bear river mining districts.
The Cordova Times says: “The
Yahutat post was established in
1795 by Baranoff and was destroyed
by the Indians in 1905 in reprisal
for the Sitka trouble in 1804." 'k.lk
about the wrath of God being slow,
these Siwasnes were some waiters
themselves before wrecking ven
geance.
Once we heaid a kid singing:
‘Won chew come to my tea party?
All mv playmate swill be there.''
This was way down east where they
do not teach geography and where
even the postal department be
lieves that navigation to Alaska is
closed during the winter.
There is said te be a m8n in Sit
ka who has nothing but praise for
the Alaska brown bear, claiming
that it is a kind aild docile crea
ture. It’s a hundred to one bet
that this man is married.
INCURABLE IGNORANCE
What’s the use, brothers, what’s
the use? Why not let the Fast die
in its abysmal ignorance of Alaska?
You publishers of papers along
the coast, where lives the major
portion of Alaska,S population, have
been trying for more than twenty
years to educate the States up to
the fact that this Territory is not
an ice-bound region with no navi
gation except for three months in
the summer. You are still at it.
Every so-often we note scathing
criticisms of e '.stern firms who re
fuse to ship goods to Alask, a the
winter because, they say, naviga
tion is closed.
For many years we have read
your plaints. We have 6een no
mitigation of the shipping evil re
sulting therefrom. 1
We have e > ne to the conclusion
that the so'.iu >!s of ton..) do not
teach geography. . i
Pe ip;e down east,, not even the
v <-ti department, give not a tin-;
ker's dam about Alaska.
Hyderis such a new place, such
bn i fant among the towns of Al
as ... that a complaint from here
would seem like a babj s wail in
