ATTEND THE MEETING.
The members of the board of
town trustees have invited the citi
zens of Nenana to attend a public
meeting to be held at the firehall
tomrrow night and assist in the se
lection of candidates for the new
board to be elected on September
30. Previous efforts of the board
to interest the public in the election
have been unsuccessful, and the
meeting tomorrow night will be in
the nature of a final attempt to put
a ticket in the field. The members
of the board invite the co-operation
of everyone interested in the wel
fare of the town, and they should
have it. The selection of candi
dates to compose the new board is
of greater importance than most
citizens appear to realize, and The
News takes this occasion to remind
them of that fact, lest they have
reason later on to regret their lack
of interest.
The coming year may be an
epoch-making one in the history of
Nenana. The people of Anchorage
some time ago were requested to
relieve the Alaskan Engineering
commission of the responsibility of
town management, and it is possible
that the Nenana trustees to be elect
ed on September 30 will receive a
similar request before the expira
tion of their terms. No change in
local management can be made, it
is true, without the consent of the
people of Nenana. but should a re
quest come for incorporation, there
undoubtedly will be important pre
liminary work for the trustees to
perform, and they should be clear
visioned, progressive, and thorough
ly loyal to the interests which they
represent.
It is easier to choose a good board
than to shoulder the mistakes and
mismanagement of an inefficient one.
SEATTLE ALASKANS.
The Seattle Alaska Dispatch has
come to the defense of the “Seattle
Alaskans” and refers with depreca
tion to the days when stay-at-home
Alaskans characterized those who
lived in Seattle and came to Alaska
in the summer time as “summer
birds of .passage.” The Dispatch,
however, misses the point in its dis
cussion of the “Seattle Alaskans”
against whom there has been and
is complaint in Alaska.
There is not and has not been,
comments the Juneau Empire, any
substantial objection in Alaska to
the Seattle man who does business
in Alaska—the Seattle man who has
investments in this Territory and
who comes to Alaska, as occasion
requires, to look out for his inter
ests. The “Seattle Alaskans’ whom
the people of Alaska have com
plained and do complain about are
those who live in that city and use
a former residence in Alaska or
some pretended interest here as an
excuse to try to run the Territory.
The case is fairly illustrated by a
telegram that was sent to Seattle
just after the late Republican pri
mary election from an actual resi
dent of ' laska to a former Alaskan.
The actual Alaskan informed the
former Alaskan that Jack McBride
had carried the First, Third, and
I Fourth divisions and Herron had
j carried the Second division. Fol
j lowing this information, he asked
! how the “Fifth division” had gone.
The people who live in Alaska,
send their children to Alaska
schools and do business here under
the laws of the Territory, welcome
Outsiders as business men, and out
side capital, but they are opposed
to those who, capitalizing former
residence in the Territory, attempt
to manipulate themselves into po
sition by trying to run Alaska poli
tics. They believe the Territorial
governments should be run by resi
dents of Alaska.
The “Seattle Alaskans” to whom
the people of Alaska object are not
usually Seattle business men. They
are not, as a general thing, legiti
| mate business men anywhere. They
| usually are adventurers and promot
ers whose chief concern is the pro
I motion of a living and spending
| money for themselves. Many of
j them would like an Alaskan public
salary, but more often they paint
in eloquent words a glowing picture
of their pretended standing in Alas
! ka, and from the vantage point thus
i created prey on the business men ot
| Seattle and elsewhere.
