A FALSE AND MISLEADING STATEMENT
The government is reported to have a surveying crexx at
work <>ti the trail t«> our dear old triend Portage Buy. but tor
wbat purpose only heaven, or maybe. Kmite Nelson knows. |U
the way. Senator Nelson, rightly or wrongly, is credited with
being the owner of extensive pro|>erty at Gordova. Seward
Gateway. . .
It is to be regretted that some of our westward neighbors
take delight in rapping Gordova upon any and all occasions.
The Gatewax is hereby informed, if it does not already know,
that Senator Telson has not now, nor never did have, any pro
perty interests here. This refutation of a false statement, evi
dently published with malicious intent, is made in order that
an injustice max not be done to a disinterested party, and tor
the purpose of exposing the despicable tactics resorted to by
the Gateway in making attacks upon people and communities,j
sin ply because it is nursing au imaginary grievance. But then
when its columns arc being tilled with this kind of slush An
chorage is not Wing abused.

SPEAK OF GOOD DEEDS, NEVER
Paradoxical as it may seem, it is the truth nevertheless
that as a general rule we never miss a chance to proclaim loudly
an evil deed, but always look upon a good deed as a matter ot
course. Indeed, most of us an- prone to bring doyvn anyone
who commits a crime, from a murder down to the most insig
nificant misdemeanor, but a generosity is hardly ever not iota i.
It would seem th. t it an act is reprehensible and deserves criti
cism and punish’ lent and gets it. a good tleed’ should 1h> com
mended in pro|a rtit n. By doing so it wouhl encourage good
deeds.
If we were as prom* to speak of good deeds as we are prone
to speak of evil deed's, we believe the public would be benefit
fed. But we almost hate to be generous with commendations
lot fear a good deed will la* noticed, apparently. But for a mis
deed most of us go far out of our way to talk about it. Some one
may call this misdirected energy, but we prefer It) call it down
right cussed yeas.
OBJECTS OF CHARITY
Space anil copies of his paper go to make up the newspaper
man's entire stock in trade. These two are all that he has to
offer for sole to the public, and no one has as yet given any sort
of satisfactory reasons why In* should ever he asked by anyone
to donate them.
One tldjlg newspaper people will never he able to under
stand is w iif any person w ill walk into a newspaper office and
make himself or herself an object ot charity and insist upon
what the). woidtLdisdain to ask for in any other shop or place
of business 1$ tfcfi town. The principle is the same in the news
paper office'jwm the dry goods store, the grocery, the drug
store, and wind a great many people need is to recognize it as
the same and get off the newspaper list.
Advertising space in the newspaper is for sale, not to give
a\V«tv. It bus a certain value in itself that makes it worth
nirtisey. < opies of the newspaper are for salt*-—not to give
Hwavj If they aii* worth having, they are worth tin* small
price wsked for them. Ul(
’•* TIM phliMc, erfit least a large jiortioii of it, has some very
t'rrodeous‘ideas fiboht dlfcM* Matters, and it is hut just to the
h.’w -paper PoTk that tlitdr ideas la* corrected in accordance
wit'Ti thy si apt* huspie^s principles that prevail in all other busi
er* . esMAiduneiit-.
In a va^t majority yf east-s this generous charity on the
pari, of the yewepapwrs is blissfully taken for granted', and the
paper's UK'iinlity of favor is accepted as a matter of course '
,uni what should he,je*inests are couched as demands.
When the courtesy has been performed there is rarely aje
preeiation. and more often dissatisfaction —generally silence.
The result in many other towns and cities is that a ban luis

Delegate James Wickershnm lias introduced in Congress
a bill providing for a full territorial form of government for
Alaska. We have not heard that the delegate has in any man
ner abandoned bis plan for statehood for Alaska. This brings
to us the question that has long been in our mind while the
press has argued the matter bitterly—Why is it not possible
for Alaskans to battle for both a fall territorial government
now and statehood Wheu we Can get it T—Douglas News.
