The Seward Gateway is a paper that refuses to be caught
with the goods on it, even if guilty. It gets real peeved over
the publication in the Times of a news item sent us by cable,
denies any knowledge of its orgin and threatens an investigation
to prove the absurdity of such information having emanated
from its office. When a verbatim copy of the cable received' is
published, the Gateway blows up, admits having sent the mes
sage' but charges “that the whole thing was a mistake in punct
uation” and says it has “nothing to retract or apologize for.”
Seems to us a case of trying to “put it across” without want
ing to let am one see the cards up its sleeves, and it the Seward
ites are willing to stand for this coarse work, suppose we’ll have
to. The Times regrets, however, that its friends on the Gate
way find it necessary to play the game that way. We have no
interest in their local factional strive, neither are we willing to
be a party to the washing of their dirty linen and so far as we
a re concerned the incident is closed one.
Valdez is in the throes of a.bitter controversey over the
action of the city council in extending its limits so as to take
in and regulate the operations of the dock company. The
tight is assuming an acute stage and the other night the munici
pal officials, including the mayor, clerk and attorney, hired a
hall and explained their position to the voters. The end is not
yet in sight.
The repair ship Prometliues pulled up its anchor and sailed
from the local harbor this morning, after an extended' stay in
our waters. The officers and crew of this big vessel made
many friends in Cordova, who regret their departure from here,
but hope to see them return next summer and erect the new
wireless navy station at Mile 13.
Li commenting on the starting of a new paper at Anchor
age a westward exchange says that “an agitation is about to
be started that will do the country no good’,” and adds “there
ought to be a law to license newspapers like dogs. It would
save the decent ones.”
There is no “closed season” for the shipment of copper
ore for the shipment of copper ore from Cordova, and in order
to handle the constantly increasing tonnage on the C. R. & X.
\\\ railway additional equipment and more trains are necessary,
E. H. Southern has deserted Shakespeare for a modern
comedy role. Othello’s occupation’s gone and Hamlet, Shy
lock, Lear and Macbeth are no more attractive to actors than
rolls of stage money, which indeed is about all they yield.
The Republicans made substantial gains in the state elec
tions held yesterday, and if this is any indication of “how the
wind is blowing” considerable interest will center in the
national conventions of the two big parties next June.
An effort is now being made by the Democrats of this divi
sion to secure the removal of District Attorney Spence, if all
reports are true. Various charges have been filed, not least
among which is one of incompetency.
Seward does not propose to lost1 its Assistant District
Attorney without a protest, and a lengthy cablegram lias been
sent to Washington protesting against the removal of Judge
Whittelsey to Valdez.
If a southern congressman is given the plum of the chair
manship of the house appropriations committee northern con
gressmen may be expected to prune the administration’s esti
mates.
More than one-half of the 1,721,000,000 persons on earth
are at war, a woman peace agitator at San Francisco reminded
ns. The refutes the adage that it takes two to make a qurrel.
The freaks of nature are best illustrated in our climatic
conditions. Yesterday we had snow, rain and wind in gobs|
and today the sky is clear and the sun shone this afternoon.
But little consideration seems to have been showyi the
ladies in the state elections held yesterday, as they made no
headway iri their effort to secure the right of franchise.
The fact that the “Texas revolutionists” made a specialty
of stealing shoes from the victims they held up indicates that
they realize they have a hard road ahead of them.
There is a strong sentiment throughout the territory in
favor of both the Democrats and Republicans holding their
conventions early next year.
From a reliable source we are informed that there promises
to be some big operations in gold quartz mining, near Cordova,
in the near future.
The British now seem to want let George do it. 4
