AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
A STEP FORWARD.
Indications seem to point to
an early division of the Ter
r tory by the separation of the
populous southern sections
from the remote and sparsely
inhabited districts on • the
n:rth and west. The populace
o' tb'1 First apd Third Divis
ions have voted overwhelm
ingly in favor of the proposal
at a ~"ecial election held *
few days ago and nothing now
r ma:ns but to place the mat
t »• before Congress for decis
ion.
A division along the lines pro
p’cd would be highly benefic
i 1 to the southern districts;
f r t by freeing them of the
1 ”rdcn of providing most of
■ho appropriations needed by
the 1003 populated sections,
recondlv by permitting them to
pnend the money derived from
t1’«wn resources at home.
Practically three fourths of
the Territorial revenues are
f’er;ved from the resources and
irr>u tr’es of the First division.
Yet, withal, the district gets
for its own use scarcely more
than a fourth part of the money
ow n" to the majority voting
power of the other divisions m
the legislature when it comes
to nassing around the approp
i:"t::on3. Such a condition is de
e'd :dlv wrong and should not
be Permitted to continue. It is
p.rhaos a trifle too early to
expeet Congress to confer the
privileges of statehood on the
F:r<t division, but the district
should by all means be permu
ted to devote the money it pro
duces to its own benefit, with
out being compelled to assist
i” the support of those sections
wh;ch are not self support
ing and may not become so for
many years to come.
Viewed from any standpoint,
divis,-on of the territory would
be a r.ten forward, as it would
enable the really progressive
sect'ons to go ahead to the full
extent of their capacities for
s 1' development and progress,
leaving the less progressive
sections to the care and sup
port of the federal government,
where it rightfully belongs.
A FITTING TRIBUTE
Tn graceful tribute to the
memory and services of a great
and good citizen, the govern
ment has set aside the week
commencing December 9 as
“Hard ng Memorial Week,” to
be observed throughout the
nat'on as a national expression
of gratitude and regard for one
who had served his country
we I It is a fine, a splendid
th'ng for the nation to give to
its worthy sons the highest ex
r essions of honor and grat
itude for their services and to
| perpetuate to the fullest dc
jgree possible their memory and
the honor and glory oi' then
achievements. The nation
(should indeed be grateful to its
jreat and noble pons, and give
to them such honor.-; as iove
and reverence can bestow.
This is specially true with
respect to the late President,
Warren G. Harding, who, in
addition to being a wise and far
eeing statesman, also repre
sented the highest and be3t
type of the nations’ manhood,
embodying in his person the
noblest of human principles
and attributes. Few better ni
mbler men than ho have liveci
, o grace the earth with the be
lign influence of their pres
ence and their gifts of heart
and mind. Honest, kindly,
tentle and God fearing, a gift
ed statesman, a kind and loving
husband, a noble citizen.
What better may be said or
j man, however great his deeds?
; We of Alaska must ever re
i /ere his memory while holding
n our hearts a feeling or
love and gratitude for the kind
less and good will expressed
n his interest in the Territory
and its development and needs
—an interest so great as to
draw him from the high places
of the nation into the wilder
ness, to share for a time the
thoughts and purposes of our
lives and to live amid the prim
itive environment of this new
and rugged land. And it will
ever be a sorrowful memory
that it was due in no small de
gree to that kindly interest and
good will, which drew him to
jeome to see us and to learn
i from our lips and the vision oi
;Our mighty land, the truth
-about ourselves, the hopes we
j held and the things to whicn
we aspired, that today he
sleeps aVnong the nation’s, hon
ored dead. We shall indeed
| honor and revere his memory
and,with hearts filled with sin
jeere gratitude, join with the
I nation in paying him the trio
j ute that-is his due as our own
I good friend, as wrnll as one of
ithe nation’s greatest and best
loved sons.
IF YOU BELIEVE—YOU WIN
Anchorage Alaskan
If you believe in your own
town, the battle is half won;
the other half depends upon
unity of purpose and plan, the !
subordination of local jealous- 1
ies for the common good ana !
the selection of civic leaders
whom the people will follow
as an army follows its com- j
manding officer.
There is no other way, a. -
many a disgruntled and dis
appointed town has found out
to its eternal regret. Towns
that do not understand this,
ultimately fail, towns that do
understand it, succeed.

The United States Supreme
Court has refused to review ihe
case of the Territory of Alaska
against the Annette Island
Packing Company, which was
decided adversely to the Ter
ritory in both the District Court
and the Circuit Court of Ap
peals. The action grew- out ot
the refusal of the company to
pay the territorial cannery tax
>n the ground that the cannery
is on an Indian reservation, ami
therefore not under the Juris
diction of the Territory. Tne
courts have upheld their con
tention.
A modern building with the
ground floor 46x70 feet, ana
with an overhanging second
story possibly 80x100 feet, is to
be built by Aerie No. 162,
Fraternal Order of Eagles, on
the lot owned by the lodge on
Main Street, Ketchikan.
