EASY TO FIND A “HARBOR,” IF NECESSARY.
It is said that K. M. Brown, who was in charge of the gov
ernment party, together with ('apt. (}■ N\ . Porter, have com
pleted their mission at Katalla and returned to Seward, to re
port to Chairman Edes that they had performed their work well
according to instructions. They were sent to locate a harbor
ami they “located” it. Which reminds us of an opinion ren
dered some years ago by the then city of attorney of Nome.
One of the members of the council intended resigning, shortly
after his election, but as that would have left a tie vote in that
body the legal adviser was prevailed upon to render an opinion
that a member of a municipal body cannot resign. This was
dime and after the factional fight in the council had been patch
ed up the attorney admitted that in rendering his famous
opinion, that lie could only find one antiquated case from Texas
to substain his position- On the other hand he said he could
have cited a hundred reasons why the member could resign.
But then it’s a long distance from Nome to Katalla, although
the tactics adopted in one community may not differ materially
from those used in another, to accomplish a necessary end.

Delegate Wickersham is quoted as saying that at the com
ing session of Congress he will introduce a bill to prant state
hood to Alaska, and while this act is pending he will tiy to
secure broader powers for the legislature.
Cordova was one of the first towns in Alaska to endorse
Secretary Lane’s plans of the establishment of a Development
Board, to govern the affairs of this territory, and it is gratify
ing to note that other communities have followed our lead.
Captain Lane, who recently returned from a trip to Arctic
region, delivered a most interesting address to the school
children of Cordova yesterday, and the thrilling recital of his
experience in the far north was both instructive and enter
taining.
Tlu* Democrats and Republicans of the territory are pro
paring for an active campaign next summer, the followers of
hot 11 parties having confidence in the result of the vote at the
Presidential election in the states next November.
Among the receptive candidates tor the Democratic nom
ination for Delegate to Congress from Alaska is George B
Grigsby, of Nome, who was formerly District Attorney of the
Second division under a Republican administration, but since
has been an active supporter of .Jeffersonian principles.
A certain gentleman asked' tin* Gateway this morning by
letter if it could throw any light on what Delegate Wicker
sham’s attitude towards the government railroad would be,
and with the wisdom of a Solomon this paper answered that it
could not tell, but that it COJTLD tell what his attitude would
be towards the Cordova railroad, if anyone wanted to know —
Seward Gateway.
The Herbert coal mine at Seldovia is being operated sue
cessfullv and coal of a good quality is mined and put in the
bunkers for fifty cents per ton and delivered to customers there
for $2-50 per ton. Tn Cordova we pav from $11 to $12.50 a ton
for a poor grade of foreign fuel, and still we are not allowed
to work our large and rich coal fields. How long, Oh I-iord, how
long are we to be compelled to suffer this hardship.
Anchorage has been suffering from an epidemic of law
lessness recently, and many arrests and convictions have been
secured. The slaughter of moose to feed a town the size of
Anchorage is criminal watefuleness, and should he promptly
stopped by the game wardens. In a few years, at the rate
these noble animals are being slaughtered, a moose will be ns
hard to find as the mebers of that once numberous political
party.—Valdez Miner
District Attorney Spence may as well begin packing his
grip an dmovo hack to the warm southern climate, as the
winters in Alaska arc very cold and severe. rI lie Valdez and
Seward Democratic Clubs are after his scalp, charging that lie
showed favoritism when prosecutions were requested following
the election for delegate last year, for failure to identify him
self with the local organizations and that he is incompetent
and unfit for the office. The outcome will be awaited with con
siderable interest.
Seward formallv put its seal of approval on the work of
tin* government engineering commission last evening when its
Commercial Club passed a set of resolutions endorsing the acts
of the Commission and putting at end the cheap little rumors
which have recently been heard'. Those rumors are the excuse
for what might otherwise be regarded ns an uncalled for liberty
in speaking of the integrity of the commission.—Gateway.
Now that the commercial body has been heard from, wouldn’t
it lie a good idea to get an expression of opinion from the rail
road men and people generally who are familiar with the work
of the Commission at Anchorage.
