ASSOCIATED PRESS TELEGRAPHIC REPORTS.
ANCHORAGE, ALASKA. SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1916.
GUILTY OF MURDER FIRST DEGREE.
The coroner’s jury impaneled to investigate the shooting
of Alex TakolT by his countryman Sam Kasloof, met this morn
ing and rendered a verdict that Talioff came to his death from
gunshot wounds inflicted by Kasloof. The latter will now be |
arraigned before the United States commissioner on the charge
of murder in the first degree.
The report that the tragedy was the. result of Tahoff hav
ing taken the life of Kasloof ’»brother in a quarrel many v^ars j
ago was incorrect, according to best information obtainable.
The murdered man bore a good reputation and in his dying
statement said that he knew of no reason why he had been
shot, as he never had any differences with Kasloof.
In the preliminary hearing more details of the tragedy
will nKeiy he forthcoming.
ANCHORAGE THE COAL RAIL ROUTE.
The government’ railroad is nearing Moose creek and
within a very short time a shipment of Alaska coal will be
made from the Dougherty mine to Anchorage. This fuel will
be used by the Alaskan Engineering Commission in its con
struction work, and is a fine quality of bituminous coal. It
will be the first railroad shipment of high grade coal made in.
Alaska, and naturally its destination will be the terminal of
Uncle Sam’s big railroad project.
From the Seward papers we learn that the town at the
head of Resurrection Bay is also to receive a load of this coal
during the summer on the barge Lawrence, which will make
several trips to Seward to bring to Anchorage material that
was diverted last winter. The fuel will be shipped by rail
from the mine to Anchorage, and transported from here to our
neighbors by water.
Thus will Anchorage have the distinction of being the
recipient of the first rail shipment of coal, and we will gen
erously pass a portion of it along to Seward, over the ocean
route.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION IS NEGLECTED.
A great essential has been neglected in the education of
the tens of thousands of young men and women who are grad
uating from the high schools and colleges of the country. In
the majority of instances they have had mental but not phy
sical education.
Some few have devoted themselves to a greater or les9
degree to competitive sports. This number is >ut a small
fraction of those who pass through our schools. Our curricu
lums are often so planned that they make physical develop
ment difficult or impossible. To lay the foundation of health
there should be proper physical training under the supervision
of specially trained medical men beginning in the elementary
school and going through the college course. A few years of
training in youth and early manhood and womanhood would
serve to instill habits of personal hygiene which would aid in
estimably to our future welfare, individually and as a nation.
Today Sweden is leading the world in systemat’c educa
tion with a resulting high average of citizens individually pre
pared to take their part in the defense of their homes.
HOW THINGS GO SOMETIMES.
It beats all how things go sometimes. Let us take the
town of Seward, for instance. For years the good people of
that town held up to the world the great advantages centered
there—and only there—for a railroad. They incessantly
boosted them up. Later the people took the matter of open
ing up Alaska. Seward saw a bright light in the distance and
came forward with its advantages. When the government de
cided to take a hand, the Seward people elbowed their way to
the front and held the audience for a while; but only for a
short time, however. Still later, government officials appeared
on the scene and lo and behold; took a look at Seward, ad
mired its advantages and its good people, dropped r few baits
in the shape of dollars and passed on to Anchorage, where
they started a government town, leaving the impression in the
minds of the people of Seward that Anchorage would be only
a temporary camp. Now comes the news from the “tempo
rary camp” that the Matanuska coal will all be landed at that
place instead of at Seward. And all this when the people of
Seward thought they had a mortgage on advantages. Now
the question is, what will become of Seward and its advan
tages ?—Ketchikan Progressive.
The wire was down again yesterday, and at the present
writing it is uncertain whether it will be working again to
day. The Times is wean* of complaining about the service to
Alaska. It is the fault of no individual, and can only be rem
edied by another cable. If the cable to Alaska is of military
value, there surely should be another one strung to insure un
interrupted service. If it is not of military value there should
be another anyway.—Cordova Daily Times.
