ALASKA NOT A PICKWICK CLUB
It is no more discreditable to pa
triotic Alaskans, apologises the Alas
ka (Juneau) Daily Empire, to say
that we have Reds in Alaska than
it is to good citizens in the Terri
tory to say that we have any other
class of criminals here. It is no
more a reflection on the patriotism
of our people to say that there are
intriguing I. W. W.’s here than to
say that he have bootleggers or an
unhung murderer in the Territory.
If it has been represented that pa
trol boats are needed in the Terri
tory because of danger from the
Reds that are here and are likely
to come here, and because of danger
from other sorts of criminals, the
truth was presented as it is.
There is danger, and the record
of the last year proved the danger.
It would be far more creditable to
the fair name of the Territory and
the patriotism and loyalty of her
people, and speak more plainly for
their support of law and order, if
people were unanimous in backing
up those who take precautions to
provide against danger of unlawful
procedure. Those who insult the
Territory are they who denounce
the precautions taken and pretend
to do so in the name of the people.
The people of Alaska are not liv
ing in a “Let’s Pretend" land, and
need no childish defenders, nor are
they members of a Pickwick club.
They are tired of the foolishness
of some of the cheap politicians who
talk nonsense in solemn make-be
lieve.
TIME TO CARE FOR OUR OWN.
The United States has loaned tc
j the stricken countries of Europe
! including Great Britain, about ter
! billion dollars. It has consented
jto the postponement of interest pay
ments on that loan amounting to
! over five hundred millions a year
! It has_ rationed its own people in
) food supplies in order that the un
fortunates of Europe might not
starve. It has sent Red Gross and
other relief expeditions into the war
areas to tide the people over the
emergency. It has brought back at
| its own expense in its own ships
the two million sdldiers who had
been helping the Allies to restore
i peace, while the ships of those coun
tries were busily gathering the com
' merce of the world to themselves.
I
| It has shipped meat and other prod
I ucts to England until the store
j houses were glutted, while the peo
ple in our big cities suffer from lack
of nourishment. It prevented whole
sale starvation in Belgium during
the German occupation, by an Am
erican relief organization that no
other nation even attempted to du
plicate. It is now saving the lives
of thousands of children in Armenia
and the Near East by generous con
tributions of money and supplies.
All these and other minor philan
thropies, such as the free-milk-for
| France crusade, have been gladly
! undertaken and carried through by
! the people of the United States.
Is it not time for us, asks the
I Valdez Miner, to start a campaign
| for relief for Americans?
The Alaska Treadwell Gold Min
ing company has taken a bond on
twelve gold quartz claims at Nixon
Fork, on the Kuskokwim. A con
siderable tonnage of ore from this
property, which is very rich in gold
values, was mined last winter and
transported by sled to McGrath, a
distance of 60 miles. With the
opening of navigation this ore will
be shipped down the Kuskokwim \
river to Bethel and by ocean steam
ier to the Selby smelter.
Contract for driving 1,000 feet
of tunnel at the Funter Bay mine
for the Admiralty Alaska Mining
company has been awarded by W.
S. Pekovich to Nick Jukich and f
Peter Miller, who will employ a
crew of ten men.
The Alaska-Endicott Mining &
Milling company, C. W. Mason, pres
ident, is resuming operations pt
William Henry bay, on Lynn canal,
where a crew of men have been en
gaged to develop water power on the
property to operate a sawmill before
the installation of the stamp-mill.
The Juneau Packing company,
capitalized for $50,000, has started
a one-line cannery at Juneau with
J. L. Scanlon, treasurer of the com
pany, managing the plant.
_ i
The Independent Mining corpora-1
tion reports the discovery of a rich |
ore body, six feet wide, at the end I
of a 109-foot tunnel on the proper-j
ty at Windham bay. F. W. Ketch
mark, president, plans to install a
small air compressor preparatory tJ
driving another hundred feet of tun
nel.
The Columbia Red Metal compa
ny, C. C. Elwood, general manager,
will employ at least fifty men on
the property at Columbia Glacier
this season. The company has in
stalled six air drills, a large quan
tity of track rails, ore cars and drill
steels, and is now prepared to ship
ore.
The Valdez Gold Mining company
is resuming operations with Con
tractor William Egan and Superin
tendent Topliff assembling supplies
for the construction of a new tun
nel.
Controlling interest in the Valdez
Packing company has been purchas
ed by John Emel, superintendent,
from I. M. Foster, Jack Tusler and
D. W. Hartzell.

COAST EDITORS WILL
NOT COME TO ALASKA
ELLENSBURG, Wash.—Editors of
the Pacific states will not make the
trip to Alaska this summer as plan
ned. The demand for reservations
on the various Alaska steamers is
so heavy it has been found impossi
ble, owing to the slowness of many
editors in making a decision, to hold
accommodations on any steamer for
the month of July sufficient to ac
commodate as large a party as plan
