ALASKA FOR ALASKANS.
The seating of John C. McBride
as Republican national committee
man from Alaska brings to a halt
the comedy of national politics af
fecting Alaska, says the Seattle Alas
ka Dispatch, tor four years Judge
C. D. Murane, a resident of Casper,
Wyoming, has been national com
mitteeman for Alaska. During these
four years Alaska has had no rep
resentation on the national commit
tee, as Judge Murane has never at
tended a meeting of the national
committee and the Alaska proxy has
been in the hands of non-residents
of the Territory.
At Chicago, during the late con
vention, many Alaskans found it
impossible to secure seats because
a Wyoming lawyer holding the proxy
of Judge Murane had secured the
Alaska tickets and peddled them out
to his personal friends. Mr. George
C. Hazelet of Cordova, holding the
proxy of Mr. McBride, did manage
to make the Wyoming proxyite dis
gorge part of his tickets to the vis
iting Alaskans. It is confidently to
be expected that hereafter Alaska
representation on the national com
mittee will be Alaskan.
ABSENT TREATMENT.
When we first heard the sug
gestion that a hearing on Alaskan
matters was to be held in Seattle,
says the editor of the Douglas Is
land News, we wondered if there
was anything unusual the matter
with the Territory that would keep
the commission that had been ap
pointed from coming north. There
is no more flu here, points out Edi
tor White; the drinking water is
good; the hotels have clean beds;
this is the closed season on investi
gators—so why in thunder, when it
is Alaska that is to be investigated,
cant the investigators take a look at
the subject?
WEALTH.
It is not true, declares Otto H.
Kahn, in a recent issue of Leslie’s,
that under our economic and social
system “the rich are getting richer
and the poor poorer.” On the con
trary, the diffusion of wealth has
been going on apace; the trend ol
things within the past twenty years
has been greatly toward diminish
ing the difference in the standard
and general way of living betweer
the various categories of our popula
tion. And our wealthiest men ari
not those who inherited their pos
sessions, but those who started a
the bottom of the ladder.
The eternal law of compensatior
works in mysterious ways. It is un
questionably a fact that it is no
the children of the rich to whon
life yields the greatest measure o
joy and satisfaction and reward.
ALASKA COAL.
With the proper assistance frou
the Government and proper manage
ment Matanuska coal could be sob
in Ketchikan at little more thai
half the price now being paid fo
British Columbia- coal, and it shouh
be, believes the Ketchikan Chron
icle. Certainly the coal pile ii
every home and in all parts of Alas
ka is something that everyone must.
think of considerablv, and as thev t
,
think of it, they mould ;cin their ,
thoughts, their words and their acts, j
all to the same end—to induce the \
Government to speed up its work I
that the Matanuska, Bering River
and Nenana coal fields may be open
ed on a large scale, within the least
possible number of months.
ALASKA’S OIL SUPPLY.
It is gratifying to know, says a
coast exchange, that the great oil
distributing companies all announce
that the Alaska supply of gasoline
will not be hampered by any ration
ing or other methods during the
summer season. Alaska and her in
dustries must be fostered. The peo
ple of the States, favored by long
season and faith weather, can be
put to many hardships, but the Alas-1
ka people must be and are favored, j
It is indeed good news and should i
be appreciated by the people of
Alaska.

SEIFFERT IS OPTIMISTIC. i
! -
Gus Seiffert, writing from Seattle,
.expresses himself as very optimistic
lover the future of Hyder. Mr. Seif
fert recently put through a deal
; which he is certain will net large
returns. Speaking of the possibili
ties, Mr. Seiffert said:
“I do not believe that the world
in its mining history has ever known
such immense bodies of ore carrying ;
1 such large values as already have j
been exposed in the Hyder or Port-!
I !
land Canal district. And you must;
' remember that there are great i
stretches of mountains that have j
never been explored cr prospected, |
and it is doubtful if any white men*
have been over parts of the country,
j “There absolutely is no question
'about the future of that camp.
Enough pay ore already is in sight
to guarantee that fact."
PORTAGE BAY.
There continually float* around
this section of Alaska the report
.that in some future time Portage
. Bay will be a site for coal bunkers
and a coaling station similar to those
! planned at Seward, says the Seward
.Gateway. On the map, Portage Bay
;iiiks like a good suggestion, but the
twelve miles of railroad which would
have to be built from the present
Government railroad to Portage Bay
will not be built in a night. There
is practically five miles of tunnel
work to be done, and then that of
' the roadway would lead over some
thing that no one seems to know
exactly whether it is a surface gla
cier or one extending down into the
earth for a great distance. Then
millions of dollars would have to be
spent clearing the reefs, rocks and
! other preventive to navigation be
jfore any sane commander of a large
I vessel would attempt many maneu
i vers in the bay. On the map Port
-! age Bay looks feasible, but in reali
I ty a fortune would have to be spent
■ to make the location available. An
* chorage and Seward are, therefore,
1 according to reports of commissions,
- the only two practical points for the
i outlet of Matanuska coal.

BIG SURPRISE TO MANY
IN NENANA
i People are surprised at the IN
STANT ACTION of simple buck
thorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed
in Adler-i-ka. ONE SPOONFUL
flushes the ENTIRE bowel tract so
completely it relieves ANY CASE
!sour stomach, gas or constipation
.and prevents appendicitis. The IN
STANT, pleasant action of Adler-i-ka
surprises both doctors and patients.
. It removes foul matter which pois
! oned your stomach for months.
