ENTITLED TO A SHOWDOWN.
The Times lias, from time to time, tried to point out that
ihe territory has not received the appropriations to which it is
entitled for road appropriations. The blame has been laid
to the quarrel existing between the delegate and the man to
whim the building of road's in Alaska is entrusted by the gov
ernment.
A letter from Col. Richardson, explaining bis stand in the
matter, was published in the Times vesterda.x morning, and the
columns of the paper, to any extent, are open to Delegate
Wickersham for an expression of his views.
Talk, however, from either of these gentlemen, will contri
bute in a very small degree to the mileage of good roads in the
territory, and it is only mileage that shouts.
The territory needs the roads it is interested in the dis
pute between the two dictators to about the same extent as a
man in Hades gets excited about the temperature at the North
J'ole. It bought into the game at the start, and should, surely
t otlie same extent as a purely extrinsic gambler, be entitled to
that it should, and would', otherwise receive for its acknowledg
The open and shut elements of the showdown are simple,
and, reduced to a statement of fact, present the question: Is
the teritorv to be debarred indefinitely from appropriations
welcomee to the people all along the coast. The immense work
ed requirements for road building because of the quarrel which,
as a matter of common knowledge, exists between Delegate

The Times believes that tin* god sense of the people of
Alaska should, provided it is unified in intelligent cohesion, be
competent to cop • with tin* problem presented, and hopes that
it will succeed in having the matter, through commercial and
' mining organizations, properly presented at Washington.—

Henry Ford escaped a posse of zealous Detroiters who were
gathered'at the station with a lloral.piece for him. They sought
to adorn 11is god intentions, not to lay a wreath upon his failure,
and it was a very pretty thing to do, but Henry dodged the
decoration. It is a happy reflection of 11is modesty.
The news that Cordova is so busy is and ought to be most
welcome to the people ul along the coast. The immense work
being done in the copper mines portends increased activities
in copper in other places and the successful operation of the
new clam factories is still more promising fact, for it is the
leson taught by experience that the establishment of the first
plants of any industries in new countries is slow, like the ap
pearance of the stars at night, but, also like the stars, the others
follow into view in quick succession.—Seward Gateway. i
