LACK OF ATTENTION NEVER KILLS.
Everybody lias heard at some time or other the familiar
exuression that “Lack of care 'and attention killed him,”
when a child of a sick person died; and while in many instan
ces the expresion is justified by facts, we cannot say that it is
so in every case. Because if it was, we Alaskans would ha\e
been dead this long time. No, no, lack of care, attention or
starvation never kill. Not if you can get accustomed to that
kind of treatment.
You take for instance the kind of care our government is
bestowing upon us Alaskans. Ever since* the country has
been discovered to be worth a tinker’s damn, Alaskans have
been subjected to all kinds of lack of care, and attention.
The treatment acorded us by o. 'onerous in spots—govern
ment, in th<* way of mail and communication facilities has
bet*n irritating, yet everybody knows we art* not dead, ami
what is more, wo are not going to die—at least not tor lack
of comunication facilities so long as we have the Marconi
Wireless to give us a little news about the generosity of our
generous government when it is appropriating millions for
this and millions for that and fighting for “preparedness,” and
all that. A little news like that give us hope and hope is what
we have been living on for these many years. We have Imped
for better mail service, beter cable service, more power to
legislate, as a matter of fact, we have hoped for ever so many
things like that that we are accustomed to hope. All of which
goes to show that hope is the only thing to stick to.
Just think, only forty-eight hours from Seattle, and our
generous government—tor which we would fight any day
gives us mail on e .n nine days. The cable parted ten days
ago six or eight ui **s from Seattle, and it is still parted, and
the funnv nart oi it is that we are still alive. No, lack of care
or attenti . b not an instrument of death. It may be, how
ever, that we are like eats, we have nine lives. Besides, we
hope. That’s the thing to stick to.—Ketchickan Progressive.

Sal vim’s legacy to Italy—the great tragedian s declara
tion in his will that he hoped Italy would la* an example for the
world in civilization and justice—is at least timely.
Within the next twenty-four hours there will la* seven
steamers in tin* Cordova harbor, and as most ot them have car
goes of. freight for this port it is an index of activity in the
Copper River Valley.
There are no ilde men at Cordova or in the Copper River
valley, and with the eretion of new cannery and clam plants
and the rebuilding of the ice breaker at Mile 4!) considerable
new labor will have to be imported.
-:o:
The cold' wave still lingers, and although the thermometer
crawls up a little during the day, the nights remain rather cold
and the natural <|uestion is “How long is this weather going
to last?” Any one who can furnish the correct answer will
confer a favor on a suffering public.

Cutler the territorial law the Delegate to Congress, the
Governor and the Secretary of the Territory have the selec
tion of a home for aged and indigent prospectors in interior
Alaska. Fearing that the Chena Hot Springs is the favored
site the Ruby Igloo, Pionners of Alaska, has entered a pro
test against the latter place, and favors a more accessible and
conveniently situated spring along or near the Yukon River
-:o:
It is unfort uate that a Seward councilman has seen fit to
charge Judge Brown with malfeasance, without anything tang
ble upon which to base this serious accusation. The charge
was made during a heated discussion over sonic local factional
matter before that body and may result in the councilman being
compelled to make good or retract his statement. The Gate
way treats the matter as follows:
, “What is, perhaps, one of the mosf extraordinary
statements ever made by a member of an Alaska city council
was made openly at the Seward city council meeting when
Councilman Borgen declared that .Judge F. M. Brown of the
district court of this division had decided for the dock company
against the city in the recent dock case at Valdez because he
himself, the judge, was a stockholder in the dock company.
Borgen even went so far as to declare that the higher court
would reverse the decision of Judge Brown, presumably
because the decision would be found to have been influnenced
by the fact stated above.”
