page MR. SMITH
Word was received from Anchorage
,is week that Mr. Noel W. Smith,
?r.era-1 manager of the Alaska Rail
,ae., believed that the Town of
?ward, as a whole was unfavorable
him. How this impression could
nanate is beyond comprehension, as
e believe that every citizen in Sew
•d realizes Air. Smith is up against
hard proposition ,and stands ready
give him the glad hand whenever,
t opportunity presents. Mr. Smith
mself, is probably at fault in this
a ter, as Seward has seen little of
m in the past, and realizing that he
i.s been a very busy man has not
'thereu him with unnecessary re
icsts,
Sewara had a v/.vm friend in Lee
. Laneis, becau.'c- Mr. Landis spent
nth of his time here, and was ac
sainted with pracacally every man,
ir'ir and child in the town.
He gave us many instances of his
no eolation of the help given him.
•\v; id stands re-’ ;v and willing to
v his successor the s:an.» welcome,
t-ilowed to do so, ami every citi
n is behind Mr. Smith in his ef
rts to help the railroad section to
e fullest extent. Already this city
under many obligations to the rail
ad head for assistance in curbing
e glacier stream and other matters,
id we aie assured on every hand of
c best of good will toward all rail
ay officials and the manager.
We realize that Mr. Smith need;
e hacking of every resident of the
ilroad section, and that unless he
is such backing, his work will be a
ilure. That he has Seward behind
s actions goes without saying. We
ive never interfered with the poli
os o.” the railroad management, and
ive always tried to work with each
coming official.
EMPIRE TAKES EXCEPTIONS
The Juneau Empire takes excep
tions to a recent article in the Gate
way advocating the election of the
Territorial Commissioner of Educa
tion, on the grounds that the best
man would not get into office. That
this is an argument that the best
■ man is not in office probably has
not entered the Empire’s ideas, for
it believes in the appointment of the
school superintendent, instead of his
election by the people. Our article
’ cast no stricture upon the present
, incumbent, whom it believes to be as
i good or better than could be se
! cured, but viewing the incumbent
from the Empre’s standpoint, they
i evidently do not believe he could be
i elected to the office if he came be
1 fore the electors.
The Empire also cites that if the
, case as stated by the Gateway be
true, superintendents of schools and
teachers should also be elected by
the people, forgetting that they are
elected by men put in for this pur
pose, to-wit, the school board. The
Gateway believes that the incumbent
j of any office who is dependent upon
; his appointment for a position is not
j as independent as the man who is
elected by popular vote, and that he
must be more or less subservient to
his politial friends to get office. The
office of superintendent of Alaska
schools we believe to be more truly
dominated by politics at the pres
ent time than it could be if Mr. Hen
derson had been elected to the of
fice.
If, as the Empire would lead us
to believe, he could not be elected
to the office, the territory would be
the loser. Mr. Henderosn has done
much to uplift the schools of Alaska,
but he is undoubtedly dominated by
the political elements to more or less
extent.
HILLAR INSTALLS ELECTRIC
PLANT IN HIS ROADHOUSE
Visitors to Munson’s roadhouse
will now find the place lighted by
electricity. George Hillar, proprie
tor of the house, says the Fairbanks
paper, has had a plant of the most
modern installed.
Hotel proprietors along the Rich
ardson highway are preparing for
a big tourist travel the coming season
and are modernizing their roadhouses
a much as possible.

VISITORS TO LEPERS
ISLE CLOSELY GUARDED
KALAUPAPA SETTLEMENT,
Molokai, Oct. 25.—Summer days are
visiting days at the Kalaupapa leper
settlement. Nearly every voyage of
the tiny steamer which brings pro
visions to this port sees half a doz
en or more relatives and friends
landed for a few days visit with in
mates of the colony. Persons wish
ing to visit the settlement must
first obtain permits from the Board
cf Health office, in Honolulu.
Visitors are permitted to remain
here for a week, and they are
housed at the visitors’ cottage,
especially built for the purupose and
situated near the landing This
cottage is enclosed by a double
fence of Ligh pickets, and the por
ticn c*f the building which the
settlement folk have access is sep
arated from the rest of the build
ing by a glass partition. There is
only one gate by which visitors can
enter or leave the .place, and this
is kept locked and the key held by
the policeman on duty. As far as
the visitors are concerned, it is a
case of being on the inside looking
out; they never get into the main
settlement grounds.

SEVERE SHOCK AT
NENANA LAST WEEK
—
NENANA, Oct. 25.—Yes, I’ll tell
the world Nenana had a severe
shock!
At 6:15 last evening, it must have
lasted fifteen or twenty seconds. I
for one stood petrified wondering
what the odd rumbling sound could
be, at the same moment the severe
shaking of the house, thinking the
end of the world had come for Ne
nana. The crash of a vase of flowers
falling off the window sill to the1
floor gave wings to my feet. Rushing
out of doors, only to meet Mrs.
George Huprecht running around the
corner carrying her baby and ready
to drop from sheer terror.
The quake had been enough to roll
"he baby off the bed. At this mo
ment there was another slight shock
the rattling of the windows apprising
us of the fact.
At 7:15, exactly one hour from the
first shock, there was a third, and a
fourth occurred ten minutes past ten.
The first, however, was the most
severe and disagreeable, says the cor
respondent for the Anchorage Times.
