AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Exchanges report that Alaska
delegate to congress Dan A.
Sutherland is opposed to the
present well advanced move
ment to divide the Territory,
as proposed by Southeastern
/ laska. It is said that the del
egate will not introduce a bill
in Congress requesting the pro
po-?d division on the ground
that the time is not ripe for a
division of the character sug
gested.
Facing the opposition of the
delegate, it appears that there
1- not a very brilliant prospect
for the movement to make
a very deep impresion on the
rational law makers, despite
the very excellent and weighty
arguments offered in suppori
of thei proposed division.
Perhaps the delegate is right
and the time is inopportune
but whether he is or not, the
ball has been started -rolling
and the matter will continue to
be a popular issue among the
people of this section for a long
time to come. Movements that
border so strongly on the pop
ular desire are difficult to dis
pell. As a usual thing the more
they are combatted the greater
is their development. Hence
we believe that the division
movement is due to grow in
spite of adverse opinions until
the people of the district are
shown conclusively that it
is impractical and detrimental.
In a timely editorial on the
development posibilities of the
Portland Canal district, the
Portland Canal News points
out that there are in the Bear
and Salmon river sections a
total of 82 mining proper
ties, aside from the Premier,
Outsider, Indian and Dunwell,
on which the mineral showings
revealed by development work
justify the view that they will
be included in the list of pro
ducing properties in the future.
The article points out that
on twenty four of the proper
fr'es in question the work done
during the past year has war
ranted an increase of develdp
ment during the coming seas
on. It is shown further that
there are fifty eight others on
which more or less work has
been done and whereon the
showings are of sufficient mag
nitude to warrant investigation.
In addition the article points
out that the list does not in
clude numerous other proper
ties on which little or no devel
opment work has been done
but on which the surface show
ing justify the view that many
of them will become producing
mines in the future.
Coming from an undoubted
authority on local mining dev
elopment, the article re
veals a degree of mineralizat
ion that can scarcely be real
ized from printed statements.
To gain even a partial con
ception of the vast mineral
development possibilities of the
district one must sojourn for
days in the hills. No known
section of the earth includes
within an area fifteen miler or
so in width and approximately
fifty eight or sixty in length
such a wonderful degree of
mineralization as exists in the
Bea? and Salmon river valleys.
As a field for mining invest
ment the district undoubtedly
holds forth more opportunities
than can be found any where
on the continent.
WHAT DID THEY DO?
Perhaps some of the self ap
pointed critics who consider it
an evidence of their own sup
erb intellectuality when then
.huy caa find a flaw in the ed
itor’s diction and who consider
the presence of an overlooked
pie-line in the makeup proof
positive, that he is seven kinds
of a bally ass who should be
carrying a hod instead of run
ning a newspaper, may find
fresh cud for their vapid rag
chewing propensities in the
a well known Alaska ex
change, for which they, with
customary mental vacuity, will
probably blame the editor, as
usual. Here it is:
The Pullen house put on a very '
festive apparance (sic) on New
Yeae,s (sic) Day and puite
j (sic) a numberd (sic) of Skag
wayans went there for dinner.
About twenty partook of the
excellent viands prepared by
the capable hands of Mrs. Bill
son, who has charge of the
famous old hostelery during
Mrs. Pullen’s absence. The out
side guests were Mr. and Mrs.
Herman Miller, Mr. and Mrs.
K. B. Hannan, Mr. and Mrs.
Eric Telfer, Mrs. L. S. Keller,
Miss Winnifred Telfer and
Miss Joan Hannan.
After the dinner was over and
sometime their several ways,
Mr. and Mrs. spent with visit
ing, the guests went to one oi
the shows and those who were
diners to accompany them Tel
fer invited a number of those
could, gladly availed themsel
ves of the opportunity.
And if anyone of the hyper
critics think it is a fake, they
can call and see the paper.
Isn’t it strange that there
are so many people who know
how to run the village news
paper better than the man who
is doing it? And yet they con
tinue to wield the hammer and
follow the plow or show Mad
am the latest thing in hosiery
at the village department store.
Among other things, a good
mouth wash is recommended
as an antidote for local distur
bances.
