COMMENTS OF ALASKAN NEWSPAPERS.
With respect to the building of the Matanuska branch
line, Commissioner Mears expressed the view that this work
could best be done in the winter time, and said if fund's were
not available to construct the roadbed this winter it would be
much cheaper to defer it until next winter.—Anchorage
Pioneer.
To the credit of Judge Bunnell it can be said, without
fear of contradiction, that he has presided over his division
in a manner entirely satisfactory to Interior Alaskans. Not
a voice has been lifted to accuse him of unfairness; not a
complaint has been heard regarding his judgment in matters
upon which lie has boon required to rule. In short, lie has
made good, and at the end of his first term of court finds him
self solidly established in a division where judges are given
the acid test.—Fairbanks Times.
The editorial in the Cordova Times about our mail ser
vice, reprinted in this issue, is a good one. And the statement
that the editor of that paper makes in commenting on the fact
that the way to build up a large community is to patronize
borne industry is correct. The mail order bouses will never
help Alaska. People look to the merchants to subscribe to
everything that will help the people, and it is about time the
people cut out the mail order houses and bought better goods
in Fairbanks, with Fairbanks money, at mail order prices.—
Fairbanks News-Miner.
Cordova seems destined to become the metropolis of Alaska,
as the big merger completed today will place her in the ranks
of one of the territory’s heaviest ore producers. The immense
coal fields to be opened in the Boring River district, and the
mountains of ore in the Kennecott and other mines, will un
doubtedly bring her citizens riches beyond the dreams of
avarice. We are heartily glad' to see our neighbor get her
just share of the good things slated for Alaska during the
coining year, and trust that she will help Valdez when her
time comes. The coming years promises to be great ones for
Prince William Sound, and Valdez Bay, and those who have
waited so long and so faithfully seem destined to reap their
reward.—Valdez Prospector.
Tin' members of the Commission have, indeed, very natu
rally, shown an easily understood resentment when Anchor
age has failed to receive anything but the most favorable
notice in the papers of other places, but it would be absurd
for Anchorage or the Commission to expect other towns from
idling what is the truth, if they stick to the truth. Goodness
knows Seward has had' her own share of knocking, and let it
be said in the most friendly manner possible, Anchorage has
not displayed any very angelic disposition towards humility
or self abnegation in attempting to show' her infinite superi
ority to Seward as a terminal for the government railroad.
Seward has a perfect right to boost its own wares legitimate
ly, and it is very often hard to do so without contrasting those
wares with the opposition stock.—Seward Gateway.
The complete and sudden ending of navigation in Cook
Inlet for the year is to be regretted fo rtlie sake of Anchorage.
The closing up of tin* water road to Anchorage at this time
nf the year is going to prove to the government and to the
world that for nearly half the year anyhow, Seward must be
regarded as the only possible terminal of the government rail
road. The fact that so much freight is unable to get into
Anchorage shows that some shippers, the Engineering Com
mission included, were deceived by tin* mild weather ot last
year, and looked for a longer season of navigation. No one
can be blamed for this. It looks as though the weather gods
had something against Seward or the Democratic administra
tion or something, and made last winter mild purposely. From
this time forward it will be at least mildly interesting to
Seward people to observe the effects which the closing of the
Inlet navigation will have on this city.—Seward Gateway.
.Tust at this moment there is the same old trouble going
on over the government railroad. One clique seems to have
smelled out some horrible conspiracy against the present
route of the railroad, although the route has been definitely
decided upon, and millions of dollars have already been spent
on its construction along that route. Whenever an attack of
this kind is being delivered it is quite the fashion to see the
Guggenheims at the bottom of it all. Were there no Guggen
heims some of our eminent Alaskan friends might lose their
chief reason for existence. Of course, there is always some
ground for suspicion when a syndicate gets rich and owns
an awful lot of territory, but, after all, the Guggenheims paid
for all they got and made some mighty poor bargains at that.
But the great trouble is that when one man wishes to hurt
another politically or financially he feels it necessary only to
say that he is “on the Guggenheim payroll,” just as though
all of us would not honorably be on it if we could, even our
eminent friends aforesaid.—Seward Review.
