As is quite apparent to Alaskans
by this time, the Republican victory
of last month has been 'ollowed by
the appearance in recent weeks
of a multiplicity of office-seekers
on the political horizons of the
several judicial divisions of Alaska
—far more applicants for positions
than their are positions to fill..
Each aspirant has his following
of friends and supporters, and many
of them have wire-pullers working
for them both in the territory and
among men of influence in the
States.
Among those seeking appointment
there are some who are worthy of
recognition by the Republican or
ganization : some who are not.
There are also some who have all
the qualifications necessary for the
successful conduct of the offices
which they seek; and again some
who have not.
With so many in the field it will
not be troublesome to find men for
the offices which must be filled.
The difficulty will lie in picking
those who are both deserving and
competent, and the purpose of this
editorial is to remind Republican
committeemen and memo rs of the
party in general, of the importance
of choosing wisely when the ‘ir.e
comes for taking action.
The Republican party was voted
back into power at the November
election because the voters of Alas
ka and the States saw in such a
course their only hope of securing
desired reforms in the manner of
conducting the affairs of the terri
tory and the nation. And it is up
to the Republicans now to make
good by the appointment of men
who will be a credit to their party
and to the offices they fill.
It is easier to pick a good man
at the start than xo get rid of a
bad office-holder—and a lot more
satisfactory.
The indorsement of local Repub
licans, which is now being sought
by all of those seeking appointment
to the more important positions in
the division, probably will carry con
siderable weight with the territorial
organization, and it should not be
awarded carelessly or unduly influ
enced by the action of other com
munities.. The indorsements should
go forth as a reflection of all that
is good and staunch in Republican
ism, backed by the conviction that
the best among the candidates have
been given support.
With four properties actually pro
ducing or in a position to produce
ore having a value of two hundred
■or more ounces of silver to the ton,
and dozens of other ledges showing
■ore of almost as great richness, to
say nothing of gold and antimony
ledges and miles of creek bottoms
rich in placer gold, the Kantishna
district looms large as a camp of
promise—the biggest and best thing
in the way of camps thus far un
covered in Alaska, with the possible
single exception of the new diggings
in the Kuskokwim district, where
the values are confined to gold
quartz. The Kantishna offers a big
variety of attractions, each of suffi
cient worth to make a camp of big
proportions but for the isolation of
the district.
Events of the past year insure
the future rapid development of
the district, which has the distinc
i tion of being the most neglected of
all Alaska as regards federal aid.
All the progress that has been made
thus far has been accomplished in
spite of handicaps which would have
forever blighted a less promising
field. Isolated, without roads, with
out mail service, without backing,
the oldtimers of the Kantishna have
persisted in their efforts until now
they have such an array of values in
sight that their appeals for recog
nition cannot longer be ignored.
The Government is getting busy,
at last awakened to the possibilities
of the district and eager to lend
the helping hand so long withheld.
A roadbuilding program has been
started, with a good winter road
between the mines and the river
landing at Roosevelt already in use,
and plans formulaing for a trunk
road between the railroad and the
diggings. There is also a mail ser
vice this winter, the first regularly
authorized service the camp has ever
had. except that of last summer
which was only half a service.
Improved transportation facilities
will speed the development work
now in progress by lessening the
cost of operations, and encourage
new activities. There is room in the
Kantishna hills for many more
prospectors than are there at the
present time; there is room for
more large-scale operations such as
are planned by the VanOrsdel and
Howell outfits And we predict that
the time is not far distant when
there will be many more of both,
1 with returns rolling out at a rate
1 that will substantially reward those
! who do the digging.
Headmaster Packer has issued a
circular in which the public is in
' formed that “all commercial freight
' for Nenana South will be handled
! on Mondays and Thursdays only,
• instead of Wednesdays and Satur
^ days, as heretofore.”
