THE JUNEAU EMPIRE rubs its
horny editorial hand over the Gate
way’s alabaster brow in a recent is
sue for stating that Seward was ap
parently the onlY port in Alaska with
sufficient water for the big transport
Cambrai to slide up to its wharf. It
has since been demonstrated that both
the navy department and the Gateway
were wrong in their surmises, as the
Cambrai not only called in at Juneau
on her way south, but went into Cor-;
dova as well. Knowing the veracity
of the heads of the navy department
we believed that the statement would
slide by unquestioned; but not so. We
therefore inform our readers that the
harbor at Juneau can float a number
of vessels the size of the Cambrai.
It would take columns to express our
regret over the misstatement by the
navy department and the Gateway.
However, as our circulation is mainly
confined to Seward, but little harm
has been done, as no Sewardite will
believe anything bad of Juneau at any
time.
THE MAN who declared Sunday a
day of rest never figured on a man
having to stay home with his family.
SOME people do not know when to
let well enough alone; they tell a lie
and then try to prove it.
ELBERT HUBBARD said that God
made the country, man the city and
the devil the small town. The lat
ter he said, were character assassins,
where no one was safe from the en
venomed tongue of slander. And El
bert had the reputation of being a
pretty wise old bird.
STRAWBERRIES are on the local
market; it is true they are not Sew
ard berries, but they are nearly as
good, and we can have the Seward
berries later.
THE fine bright, sunshiny days Sew
ard has enjoyed since the visit of the
Congressional party, calls to mind the
fact that we must have some more of
the weather we are now having for
the president.
THE NUMEROUS fishing and auto
ing parties leaving Seward each day
remind us more fully that running a
small daily in a small town is what
Sherman said war is.
ACCORDING to some of our reform
ers the rising generation is sinking.

About 500,000 seal are migrating to
the Pribilof Islands breeding grounds
this year, according to Capt. M. J. O’
Connor, warden with the U. S. Bureau
of Fisheries, who arrived in Juneau
this morning on the fisheries boat Pet
rel from Sitka where he has been on
patrol during the migration. The boat
Auklet, with warden Jack White also
arrived and the warden with E. M.
Ball, assistant agent for the Bureau is
due to arrive sometime today. The mi
gration started across the Sitka dis
trict about May 1 and is just now
ending.
Approximately 500 seal were taken
by the Indians in the Sitka district.
Nine boats were used. Last year 15
boats were used and about 525 seal
were taken.
There were no violation of the rules
for obtaining the seals by the Indians.
Capt. O’Connor said.
Capt. O’Connor left on the Admiral

make an inspection of the salmon
streams in that district.—Juneau Em
