COMMENTS OF ALASKAN EXCHANGES.
irnment wants $12,000 from the Alaska Nteam
iI» Company for the alleged breaking of the cable connecting
(flie city of Valdez with the States. If some one paid (lie gov
i( riiment $12,000 every time that rotten old cable has broken
jia the past two years, Uncle Sam could build a hard road from
here to Seattle with the money.—Valdez Prospector.
Those' Republicans in Alaska who really have the welfare
of the party at heart, and who are Republicans from principle
and not for profit, are making an attempt to cal! a primary
election early next spring for the purpose of choosing candi
elates for delegate and territorial senators and representatives.
I'life would do away with the very objectionable method of
tolling a convention in a back room and naming delegates
lijjft cannot possibly attend a convention, and then making out
m/1 signing the delegate’s name without even consulting him
?!|Ant it, and would leave the choice of candidates to the rank
5t.d file of the party.
The Republicans of the Fourth Division should got to
.ether and back up the movement for a primary election.—
Fairbanks News-Miner.
What a strange hold Wickersham has got on his follow
erAs a subject for calm, unprejudiced study, the “Gentle
nan from Alaska” is mighty interesting. He is supported by
ionic of the very worst elements in Alaska life, and by some
if the best men of the territory, and all swear by him and ac
■ept, very often blindly, his dictum as they might accept the
>n cathedra statement of the Vatican or the “official an
miineement”'of an oracle.
Some them, no doubt, thought that when they attacked
lie (luggeriheims as arch-conspirators against the government
ail road, Vvickersham would come along and' clap them on the
't'rk.JtfiL the way up the coast several of the anti-Gugg genus
. to see the delegate to receive his approbation as a sheep
og comes to have his head patted by the shepherd and mas
er when he thinks ho has barked with dog-like faithfulness.
)id they get the pats? Oh, no; they got a good hard kick in
lie ribs.—Seward Gateway.
The legal mixup at Anchorage as to whether the Cook
nlot town is a federal reserve with no territorial vote for
\si<lents, or a community governed by the territory where
jsidents have a right to vote, will probably be straightened
at during the winter.
Clashes in jurisdiction, such as this, are not uncommon
hep a new project is started’, which has no precedent under
■iwrican government.
The government of the Panama Canal zone was chaotic
it il a system was evolved.
It is contended by some that the reserve at Anchorage
for specific purposes only, and does not affect territorial
ntrol, and that the only reason for the land office govern
ent of the municipality is that title to the townsite lies with
e government for five years, and no taxes can be raised
ler the territorial law in the meantime.
At any rate, there is plenty of time to settle the question
fore the next territorial election.—Seward Post.
The fact that Commissioner Hears has formally requested
? Alaska Steamship Company to send the Seward up the
let, notwithstanding what has happened’ is an indication ot
? most vivid kind of the desire of the commission to try to
, pport the claims of Anchorage. This desire is comprehen
>le and no one can call it reprehensible. Seward people,
jhtly or wrongly, have all tin* time sensed a sort of an of ti
nt feeling in favor of that town. There is no reason to ho
ve, however, that Anchorage was not created in the convic
n that it was necessary for the economic construction of the
lroad. As a construction base its foundation was perfectly
tifiable, and Seward, as well as every place else regrets that
conditions threaten to hamper the work for the winter. It
hard to avoid feeling that those ice conditions have estab
led Seward’s position as the only real terminal, and Seward
•pie would have to be more than human not to be tempted
experience some satisfaction at the thought, but Seward,
it-a^nl foremost, wants to see the construction work on tin*
^railroad proceed without hitch or delay—Seward
eway.

’ Cordova continues to furnish all southbound steamers with

GORGEOUS EVENING WRAP.

ample folds of old rose panne corduroy
cut bayadere. The richness of the ma
terial and the plainness of the design
achieve a very luxurious effect. Seal

is one of the smartest winter models
for an opera coat.
A MATERNITY SUIT.
Navy blue gaberdine, with a circu
lar skirt finished at the waist line
with a shirred belt, which disguises
the rubber tape. Is developed In this
suit The hip length coat has an ad
justable belt, fevers collar and trim
cuffs. A wide brimmed sailor uud a
beautiful fox scarf complete the out

OSTRICH FEATHERS AGAIN.
For a number of seasons ostrich
feathers were pushed to the back
ground. This season they ure brought
to light again, and after their long rest
they come forth In most gorgeous col
orings. Ostrich tlim seem to be used
more than the long ostrich fenther, and
these are very saucily placed at the
back of many upturned hats. The sin
gle uncurled ostrich feathers are seen
In long lengths, and these usunlly en-.
circle the brim or the crown of a large
hat In one instance the whole up
per portion to entirely plumes.
