HISTORY REPEAT#
William L. Paul, Indian and gt* j
torney, with domicile formerly in.
Wrangell but now in Junegu, sgy$
the fish traps must be abolished'
and that Chas, D, Garfield, head of
the fisheries department, mugt go,
Well, well! How histofy repeat?
itself!
In the early '90s we knew an
Indian in Olympia palled Aunt Ju_
lia. Charlie knew her too, probably
better than we did. An imperti.
nent railroad built through and
spoiled Julia’s trail from Percival
creek to Talcott's notion store,
So Julia followed the railroad track
to town, vowing that it was her
trail and no one could move her
off of it. But when a train came
along one day and overtook Julia
at a sharp curve, did she move?
She did—20 feet up and 40 feet
sidewise.
WOULDN’T THIS JAR YOU?
If there was any doubt as to the
utter lack of knowledge of Alaska
possessed by Secretary of the Inter
ior Fall, that doubt was dispelled
when the Associated Press inform
ed Us d few days ago that the sec
retary had announced his intention
of seeing Alaska from the hurricane
deck of a horse.
It would be really interesting to
know just what Secretary Fall has
pictured in his mind Alaska to be
if he imagines he can traverse even
a small portion of it on horseback
in the limited time he will have to
devote to his northern trip. He
little wots of the magnificent dis
tances that will stretch out unend
ingly before him and his horse as
he uneasily shifts from hither to
thence in quest of a soft spot in
! the saddle. He has yet to be inter
| viewed by seventeen million mos
quitos that will hover over and
around him, ever and anon alight
. ing on his neck and prospecting it
j for blood. He knows naught of
j roadhouse hash and tier on tier
‘bunks where opportunity for the
study of entomology is unsurpassed.
Of the intentions of Secretary
Fall the Associated Press says: “He
intends to travel on horseback and
see the country first hand."
Poor man, poor horse, poor Al
aska!
Much good, it is sincerely hoped,
Will accrue to Alaska from the visit
of Secretary Fall, but if that hope
is realized it will be necessary for
the distinguished gentleman to for
get that horseback bug and, after
seeing Alaska, he will wondar why
jf y«f
blush when he recalls tjhat jhe did i
entertain it. - Stroller’s .Wo^ly.
IS MINING TRUTH NQJV
Northwest fining Jjtyth of Spo
hane makes an impojrtagj: announce
ment as follows:
Henceforth this p^ica^ion wjil,
be known as Mining lyutjb, the
prefix “North\ye?t" paying t^een
4™PPp4 for all time. Tlje elimina
tion is made in preparation for;
material extension of mire,cope and
js inspired by .the hope tjiat we
may talfe higher place as an inter
national representative of the min
ing Jmjugtry. Remembering the
gbangeg that fiaye rpgeptjy taken
place in mining journalism, we be
lieve that we are justified jn con
cluding that we can render better
service by going further afield, In
vitations have been received to re
move ths publication to other and
larger cities, but for the present at
least we believe thpt we can serve
the industry as wtU from Ibis cen
ter as from any other. There will
be no change in any fundamental
policy hitherto pursued. No effort
will be made to compete in the
teenhical field, although we may
occasionally pay more attention to
that part of the industry, but we
hope to extend our news service to
embrace all mining states and thus
supply a western mouthpiece, lack
ing since New York captured San
Francisco.
