IS ALASKA THE GOAT?
Alaska is experiencing the semi
annual investigation to ascertain
what ails her, says the Seattle Alas
ka Dispatch, referring to the recent
appointment of a committee to in
quire into Alaskan conditions and
needs. During every administration
for sixteen years a commission has
journeyed west from Washington,
D. C., to investigate Alaska condi
tions. The press tells Alaska that
Secretary So-and-So wants first hand
information regarding what Alaska
needs. Annually these same secre
taries receive from their accredited
agent in Alaska—the Governor—a
report asking for legislation and
other things needed by the North.
Annually these reports are made a
part of Secretary So-and-So's an
nual report and then forgotten. Ev
ery two years the Alaska legislature
prays for more power, drafts nu
merous petitions asking for federal
legislation on certain matters. Again
these memorials are referred to con
gressional committees, and semi-an
nually comes the investigating com
mittee to find out what is wrong
with Alaska.
The only surprising thing about
the Payne committee, continues the
Seattle publication, is how Alfred
Brooks allowed himself to be draft
ed into service. Brooks hhs always
been one of the staunch friends of
Alaska. His work in the North has
been of such a high character as to
be distinguished. Every Northerner
knows and respects Mr. Brook?
Harry V. Saint is unknown to most
Alaskans. It is said he was in
Alaska in a clerical capacity wit!
some canning concern. No doubt
he has qualifications hid under ii
basket which will make his counse
for the development of Alaska verj
much cherished. Last, but not least
comes our old friend, Otto Praeger
The average Alaskan takes an houi
off to do some swearing wher
Praeger is named. About three year
ago, Praeger decided to send Alask:
mails by freight. He canceled :
number of mail contracts, chased :
high dignitary of the Alaska Steam
ship company from his presence a
Washington, and .routed all Alaski
mails by freight. If any one singli
act was a greater detriment t<
Alaska development than this act o
Mr. Praeger, no Alaskan has ex
pressed it. Now comes Mr. Praege
at the behest of the administratioi
and spends a few days at the Ne^
Washington hotel to investigat
■ Alaska.
Poor old Alaska!
ADVERTISING ALASKA.
Ketchikan people returning froi
Hyder express considerable surpris
over the recent telegraphic report
sent out broadcast to the press an
telling of the activity of alien ag
tators in the Portland canal m
tropolis.
Those who recently arrived, sa;
the Ketchikan Miner, state that thei
is absolutely no foundation fact f'
the press reports and that Hydi
was never more peaceful and qui
than today.
A few months ago there was
little labor trouble at the Premi
I mine, but at present everyone in
j Hyder is contented and busily en
j gaged in minding his own business.
It would appear that someone is
working overtime trying to knock
Alaska and discredit her loyal and
j peaceful citizens.
j They are going to stage that revo
j lution in Alaska in spite of the
j revolutionists’ unwillingness to re
' volt.
DEMPSEY AGAIN.
Alaskans as a people are not
bloodthirsty. They are, as a rule,
kind-hearted. They unite almost to
a man, however, says the Douglas
Island News, in deploring the fact;
that William Dempsey, confessed
slayer of Margaret Lavore and Isaac
Evans, should have the sentence of
death imposed upon him by an Alas
kan judge commuted to life impris
onment. If ever a man deserved
j hanging, it is Dempsey, and people
jin the Territory are beginning to
wonder what kind of a killing must
be done to call for the death pen
alty.
i
SHOULD WE PAY?
Should the people pay their elect
ed servants for the time they take I
to run around the country cam
paigning? The Trades Council of
Eureka, California, thinks not.
It has passed a resolution de
nouncing; as dishonest the conduct
of officials who take the time which
they are supposed to spend in Con
gress doing public business, and
spend it making speeches around
the country for the advancement of
their own political ambitions.
We admire the Eureka council and
are disposed to agree with it, com
ments the Seattle Union Record;,
but they seem to us perhaps a bit
unsophisticated in their assumption
that the time the average congress
man spends in the halls of Congress
is really of any more use to his
country than the time he spends—
otherwise!
KETCHIKAN MAY HAVE
LARGE ORE REFINERY
That Ketchikan in the near future
may have a refinery for handling
concentrates from the mining prop
erties adjacent is the good news
announced by J. E. Chilberg, the
Seattle capitalist and head of the
Saltchuck mine, who recently vis
ited the properties near Ketchikan
with engineers. It is estimated that
such a refinery would save thousands
of dollars annually for the Saltchuck
property and would, at the same
time, make it possible for othei
operators to save an amount annu
ally that would go a long waj
toward paying their expenses of op
erating.
“The Saltchuck mine is looking
better than ever,” said Mr. Chilberg
“and the only drawback is that thi
price of palladium and platinum ha
dropped almost fifty percent. Wi
have 41 men working now and w
will continue to have about tha
number.”
As to the future, Mr. Chilberi
does not believe now that the min
will be worked on as tremendous ;

Tom Stevens, a prospector, who
located a property some distance
from the Saltchuck, is reported by
Mr. Chilberg to have found such 1
prospects as to lead to the belief i
that he will have an extension of
the same ore body.
